A BosoM FRIEND.—James Edwards, describing himself
as a clerk, was charged beforo Mr. Knox with assaulting
Mr. Rawlings, a m aiter.

The complainant, who had been assaulted on Thursday
night by the prisoner and complained to Sergeant Day, 19
0, was going home last night, when the prisoner, with the
assistance of two others, again assaulted the complainant
and kicked him in the fano, and on Sergeant Day bei❑g
informed of the second assault he took the prisoner into
custody.

Mr. Knox asked the complainant whether he could
assign any reason for the prisoner assaulting him.
.._..

The complainant said that about eight or nine years
ago a burglary took place, and he gave evidence respect-
ing it. One of the prisoners who was convicted and sen-
tenced to 10 years' penal servitude had only recently teen
released on ticket-of-leave, and since he (complainant) had
been subjected to annoyauca and threats.
The prisoner said he had a fair fight with the com-
plainant, with whom ho had been a fellow-servant at a
night house, and he called a witness, who said that he
and complainant were all friends, and got their living at
the Haymarket the best way they could, and that the
complainant and prisoner were sworn brothers, and were
bosom friends.

Mr. Knox said that tho prisoner did not appear to have
acted like a bosom friend to the complainant last night in
assaulting him, and committed the prisoner for two
months with hard labour.

Win. Clifford Roberts, chief mate of the ship, saw the
prisoner on board, yesterday, and watched his movements.
HO missed him suddenly fur a short time, and then saw
him come out of the forecastle and walk towards the main
hatch. He observed that he looked bulky, and asked him
what he wanted, to which ho replied that he wanted to
see the riggers. His trousers pockets looked exceedingly
bulky, and he was searched, and a copper ingot found in
each. He was given into custody. The ingots had been
stolen from the cargo. There were a great many on
board.

The Prisoner, in defence, said he was in great distress,
and very hungry. The sight of so much copper tempted
him. He hoped to be forgiven.

for trial.
