•
by Wortley, the officer, on suspicion- of cuttin6
and 'maiming a man named Joseph BelAe, who
travels the country as a pedlar. it appeared that
some time since a womad, who cohabits with
Harman, met Belse in the street, and invited him
home with her ;. he accepted the invitation, •and
sent for a bottle of wine, over which they were
regaling themselves at the time Llarman came
home. He insisted on Beise leaving the house
iminediately,•uying that the wornan was his Wife,
and that he (Belse) had, no business there. Belse
refused, and from words they proceeded to blows,
when Harman turned Beise out of doors, and 161-
lowing hiin into the street, drew a clasp knife
from his poCket, with which he gave him a severe
wound on the thigh, and then made his escape.
Belse was foundilying iii the street, and taken to
the Hospital, lihere he remained sometime.—On
•his recovery, he left town on a journey, from
Which he is not yet returned. The prisoner
caped pursuit till a few evenings since,,when he
was met in the street by Wortley,who having been
informed of the circuinitances, took .flen into cus-
torly, and brought him before the Magistrate.— •
Being recognised and sworn to by Collinghoura
• and Wortley, as a reputed thief . the Magis-
trate committed him to the House Of Correction
for a month, by which time it is expected Belse
will return to town.
