ATTEMPTED MURDER AT BERMONDSEY.
APPREHENSION OF THREE MEN.

Yesterday, Mr. Burcham, the magistrate of South-
wark police court, was summoned from Cheam to
Gay's Hospital, to take the deposition of a man who
was supposed to be dying in consequence of wounds he
had received in a rourd,rous attack which was mad:
upon him on the previous evening.
It appears that on Saturday night, about 1:211-pact
nine o'clock, Sergeant James Coldman, No. 23 M, bav
ing heard that a man had been stabbed, proceeded to
the shop of Mr. Moore, a surgeon, residing in Grange-
road, Bermondsey, where he f ound a man, named Patrick
Griffin, a labourer, aged 35 years, who resided at No. 6,
Black Baok-alley, near the London Docks, in a state
which seemed to leave no hope of recovery. He bad
been conveyed there by Mr. Barratt, the master of Marl-
borough-house School, Graege-road. The police-officer
hiving made himself acquainted with the circum-
stances of the case, proceeded to a house in St.
Thomas's-place, and apprehended Richard Burchell, the
landlord, with two of his lodgers, named Patrick Ryan
and Abraham Burchell, and conveyed them to the
station. Afterwards he searched the house, and found
a large black-handled knife, covered with blood,
of which he took possession. The three prisoners, with
Patrick and John Griffin, had been drinking at a public-
house in the neighbourhood, when some differences arose
between them ; but before they parted the quarrel be-
tween them seemed to have been made up, and Griffin
had no idea that be was the object of malice on the part
of any of them. John Griffin went home with.the three
prisoners to Burchell's house, and shortly afterwards
Patrick Griffin went there, with a view if possible of in-
ducing his brother to return home. While he was there
the quarrel was renewed, when one of the prisoners
struck him a violent blow with. a brickbat or stone which

When Mr. Burcham, the magistrate, attended yester
day morning, he was met by Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk
of South wark police-court, Superintendent Blandford,
Inspector Reid, Mr. Valentine, the house surge.n, Mr.
Calladay, Mr. Hill, and Mr. Archer. The prisoners
were pieced by the wounded man's bedside, and be ins
mediately pointed to Richard Burchell as the assassin.
Burcham then took the man's depositions, which
were as follow :—" My name is Patrick Griffin. lam
35 years of age, and reside at 6, Black Jack-alley, Lon-
don Docks. Yesterday evening I called on my br.,ther,
John Griffin, who resides at 2, Willow-grove, Willow-
walk, Bermondsey. We went to a beer-shop, and had
a pot or two of porter. Some other persons were pre-
sent. My brother John afterwards went to Richard
Burchell's house, and I went to fetch him away, as he
meant to have a quarrel, and to persuade him to come
away. He would not leave. I went a second time to
fetch him away, when I was struck over the bead with
a piece of poker. a brickbat, or a stone, and was
knocked down. While I was on the ground there were
three persons over me beating me. My brother was
present. I put up my arms to defend my head, and
when I was lying on the ground I felt a knife enter my
left side. It was a long black-handled knife, with a sharp
point. I seized hold cf the leg of the man that stabbed
me. At this stage of the proceedings the man fainted,
and restoratives were applied. When he bad sufficiently
recovered, Richard Burchell was placed separately at
his bedside, and identified as the assassin.
The magistrate asked Burchell whether be wished to
say anything to the charge.

1356, in a scandalous manner. The prisoner was tried
under the 2d Article of War. The following officers corn-
pwed the Court :—Captain Superintendent John Jervis
Tucker, in command of the Formidable, .84, and second
in command of the ships and vessels riding in the river
Medway and at the buoy of the Nore, president ; Cap-
tain Edward P. Halsted, in command of the screw

the Court; Captain Lord Frederick Kerr, of the Water-
loo, prosecuted. Eleven witnesses were examined, most
of whom were boys of the first-class serving on board
that ship, one cf whom' gave such evidence that the
Court considered it necessary to caution him against
giving any evidence that might criminate him-elf. The
prisoner, in his defence, merely denied the charge. Tne
Court was of opinion that the charge against the prisoner
was fully proved, and adju iged him to 12 months' im•
prisontnent in the county gaol at Maidstone, with hard
labour ; after which he was to be discharged from her
Majesty's service with disgrace.

Mr. Edwin then read over the depositions to Griffin,
who tested them by his mark.
The prisoners, who were thoroughly callous, were then
handcuffed and sent back to prison in charge of the police.
Up to a late hour last night Griffin was net dead, but
he is in the last stage, and the hospital surgeons state
that it is utterly impossible he can live beyond a few
hours.

preferred against them.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT
AT MURDER NEAR YORL

A. robbery, attended with circumstances of more than
usual aggravation and cruelty, was perpetrated on Sa-
turday evening last, on the high road leading to Hes-
lington, near the premises which were a short time ago
used as a coach-yard, &c.
About half-past nine o'clock in the evening, Samuel
Ellison, a labourer, residing at the village of Heeling-
ton, and who had been at York purchasing some gro-
ceries, was proceeding quietly on his way home. When
he arrived a short distance from the Quakers' Retreat,
where the road is very lonely, a man passed him, and
after be had walked a few yards further, this fellow
gave two or three sharp whistles, no doubt as an in-

fimation to his companions to prepare for active ope-
rations. After walking a few yards further Ellison met
other two men, whom he observed closely, his suspicions
having been excited by the whistling. He thought, how-
ever, that he was not a party whom they were likely to
attempt to rob, and he therefore went on his way, with-
out feeling apprehensive as to his safety, but he had not
gone far before he heard footsteps approaching him, and
when these appeared nearer he drew himself to one side
of the road to allow the parties to pass. He was in the
act of turning round to lo)k at the persons, when one
of them gave him a blow on the head with a life-preserver
—or, more correctly speaking, a life-destroyer—and
knocked him down. The two fellows then fell upon the
poor man, and while one of them attempted to rifle his
pockets, the other continued to beat hint in the most
brutal manner over the head and face, notwithstanding
that Edison offered to give them all the money he had.
The poor fellow's cries attracted the notice of other per-
sons who were returning to Heslington, and, hastening
to the spot, they observed the two villains in the act of
running away as fast as possible, one of them having
jumped over a gate into a field by the road side. Au
instant chase after the fellows was commenced, and they
were both run down and captured—one of them in the
field into which he had jumped by Mr. Charles Stabler,
and the other on the high road by Mr. Wm. Cottam and
Mr. Thomas Dixon. A life-preserver, no doubt the one
used and thrown away by the robbers in their anxiety to
escape, was also found near the spot.
The prisoners were conveyed to Heslington, and were
placed under surveillance at the Charles XII. Inn, at
the village. Ellison, who is a man of great physical
strength, appears to have borne his ill-usage without
losing his sensibility for a moment, his own natural
vigour and power, and the excitement attendant upon
the attack, having sustained him throughout. He
walked home with a little assistance ; medical aid was
procured, and it was then discovered that the injuries he
had received were of the most dangerous kind, and may
terminate fatally.
On Sunday afternoon the prisoners were removed to
York Castle, where they gave their names as Wm. Patrick
and Thos. Jackson. These men, we believe, have recently
been lodging in Swinegate, York, and the latter is well
known to the police under the cognomen of Sailor
Tommy. He professes to be a glazier by trade, and we
have heard that he is a ticket-of-leave man. Patrick
has also been previously convicted and imprisoned in
York Castle. Both of them appear to be about 24 or
25 years of age.
On Tuesday evening a third man, named Francis
Walker, was apprehended on suspicion.—Yorkslttrentan.

PIRA Cr AND ill URDBRS 0-V BOARD THE
ENGLISH BARQUE GLOBE.

--•-
PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY.
Guiseppe Lagarva and Giovanno Barsalano, Italians,
and Motto Pettricb, an Austrian—three determined-
looking young men—were brought before the Mayor
and other magistrates, sitting at the Court-house this
day, charged with committing piracy on board the barque

and Cullen, two of the crew, lying on the deck, crying
out that they were shot. While witness and the master
were standing by the wounded men, Lagarva and a man
not in custody, called Angelo, came up and snapped a
pistol, one at witness, the other at the master., The caps
went off, but the pistols missed fire. Witness and the
master assisted the men wounded into the cabin and
fastened the door. The wounded men could be of no
use, but the master found a musket barrel, whi3ll
he contrived to splice on a stick. Witness and the
master then loaded it with powder and ball, and kept

Turkish authorities acted very promptly in the matter,
and the prisoners were captured a few miles inland from
the coast, and handed over to the British admiral, who
forwarded them to Eeglaud for trial, according to the
law of this country.
An interpreter, duly sworn, read over the above evi-
dence to the prisoners, and they were asked whether
they had any question to put to the witness.
Lagarva said he had nothing to say or ask. All that
was a ritten en that paper (Mr. Scotland's deposition) was
untrue.
Barbalano said that what had been stated was untrue.
He had nothing more to say.
Pettrich gave a similar answer.
Mr. Swanson, in answer to the bench, said the other
evidence must necessarily take some time to take.
The Mayor said, under those circumstances, he would
remand the prisoners until Tue:.day.
The prisoners were then remanded to the Borough
Gaol. They appeared to treat the proceedings very lightly.
Pettrich and Barbalano frequently smiled at various points
of the mate's evidence as the interpreter read it over.
