A most extraordinary man of diminutive size, and
wearing a huge pair of mustachios and long black
beard, which contrasted strongly with his sallow
complexion, who gave the name of Patrick Dalton,
and stated himself to be 44 years of age, was brought
before Mr. Ingham, charged with feloniously cutting
and wounding Robert Cato on the high seas.
The prosecutor stated that he was an able seaman
on board the ship Success, which arrived in the Lon-
don Duck that afternoon. The prisoner was a pas-
senger in the same vessel, and embarked at Port
Philip. About three months and a half ago, or it
might be four months, between Port Philip and Cape
Horn, he had the dog watch upon deck from four to
six o'clock, and was skylarging with the prisoner,
who was very morose and sulky. He said to him,
"King John, bow will you be when you get back to
Kilrush, in Ireland ?" The prisoner looked
savagely at him, and immediately took his clasp-
knife from his pocket, which he opened, and said,
" have my revenge." He moved away from
him, and the prisoner came after him. Witness put
his leg over the hatchway, and the prisoner raised the
knife and plunged it into his leg with great violence,
and divided as artery. He bled for a long time after-
wards, until the doctor took up the artery and secured
it, and he was completely di,abltd, and laid up in his
berth for three months end twenty days. The witness
then produced the knife with which be was wounded,
and said, there being reason to suspect the prisoner,
who was a most spiteful fellow, would serve others
in the same manner, the mate went below to his
berth and took away all his knives, and a razor be-
longing to him.
Mr. INGEIAM asked the prisoner if he wished to put
to the witness any questions? The prisoner, in a curi-
ous squeaking voice, said he would tell the whole
truth, and was hard of hearing.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, was desired to re-
peat the evidence to the prisoner aloud, and, having
done so,
Dalton, in reply to the charge, said he was so badly
used on board that any man in the same position

A Mr. Gregory attended to answer a summons
for detaining a manuscript on Bloomerism.
Mr. Jobson said that at the request of the defen-
dant he wrote a lecture on the subject,of Bloomerism,
and intrusted the manuscript to him for the purpose
of having it printed. Instead, however, of the de-
fendant complying with the agreement they entered
into the time, he left London, taking the manuscript
with him, and engaged a person to represent In
American lady, and to deliver the lecture on Bloomer-
