man to a cutler in Sackviile-street, • was charged
by a young man, of the name of Williams, with
an assault of an. infamous n,:ture on Sunday even-

himself of him,' the complainant agreed to see him
at his master's house' n Wednesday evening, .and
early on Monday morning he very properly ap-

sault on the preceding night, and apprised- the
officers of the „proposed meeting. J. Foy and

place. The prosecutor appointed a meeting on
the next night, Ivhen the officers secured him.—
In his defenCe: he" criminated himself, and corro-
borated what the prosecutor had stated. His
master gave him an honest character, and sent a
message by Kenedy, an Officer, that he was will-
ing to take him back into his employ.

cruelty, and ill-treatment, so, as on one occa,
siOn, to eiidnget' hii- life; by fracturing' his
seas aunt ulthinifely leaving him behind, in a.
strange country, to find his way home from New

boys, adduced on the part of the complaintynt, it
appeared, that he had been subject to severe head-
aches ou the-voyage, and that he had determined
on a most singular cure. This was to lacerate,
lii;:self its the head with a razor, which had pro-
duced the wound now exhibited, and for which
be was some time in 'the hospital at New Bruns-
wick. The certificates of the Surgeon then at-
