THE LATE MURDEROUS ASSAULT UPON A POLICE-
CONSTABLE IN BRISTOL.—DEATH OF THE VICTIM.—
About a fortnight since a Bristol police-constable, named
John Pym, whilst conveying two of the frail sisterhood
to the station-house in that city, was assaulted and grie-
vously injured about the head and face by two privates
belonging to the 15th Regiment of Foot. The constable
was enabled to appear against them before the magis-
trates; but they were permitted to embark with their
regiment, as it was understood they would be punished
through the instrumentality of the commanding officer.
Subsequently the unfortunate police-officer became so ill
from the effects of the treatment he had received, that
he was obliged to be placed in the infirmary of the
station, where every attention was paid him, but ery-
sipelas took place, and last night (Thursday) be expired.
Whatever instruetion is reaped from history, may
be reaped from a newspaper, which is the history of the
world for one day. It is the history of that world in
which we now live, and with which we are, consequently,
more concerned than with those which have passed away,
and exist only in remembrance.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
