SERIOUS CASE OF STABBING.

At the City Police Court, Manchester, yes-
terday, a young man, named John SArgerison,
a salesman in a large home trade house in this
city, was charged with having, on the night of
the 2d instant, feloniously stabbed Mr. J.
Richardson, agent of Messrs. Ind, Coope, and
Co., brewers, Spring Gardens. About half-
past ten o'clock on the night in question the pri-
soner went into the King's Arms, Windmill-street,

he was with difficulty ejected. He returned almost
immediately, and the prosecutor
again pushed him
out. At this he exclaimed, "If you interfere, I'll
give you one that will settle you,"
and
struck the
prosecutor several heavy blows with an umbrella.
When threatened that he should be given into cus-
tody the prisoner decamped. Ten minutas after-
wards he returned ; he was refused drink, and an-
other disturbance ensued. The prosecutor again
interposed, and seized the prisoner by the collar with
the intention of once more removing him. The
prisoner hit him several times with his right hand,
kicked him on the legs so as to cause a dislocation,
and with his left hand, which he had been seen to
draw from behind, struck him many times on and
about the left side. When the prosecutor had gut
into the street he found that he had been stabbed,
and he was taken to the Royal Infirmary, where
his wounds were dressed. lle was afterwards re-
moved to a friend's house, and was only now able,
for the first time, to appear iu court ; he was
still so weak from his injuries that he had to
remain sitting while giving his evidence. 'rho
prisoner escaped front the prosecutor at the
time of the assault, remarking, " You'll see
how you like that," but he was apprehended at his
lodgings in Bank-street, Cheetham Hill, about three
o'clock on the following morning. He then said in
answer to the charge made against him, " Yes ; I
believe I did stab a man. It served him right ;
he behaved very badly to me." He took from his
pocket a knife, and said, " This is the instrument
which did it." The ocer, Inspector Shandley, re-
marked, " There does not appear to be any blood
ou it," to which the prisoner replied, "No ; I

was adjourned for a few days. The prisoner was
