alias Alexander de Saint Albans d'Orleans, otherwise

belonging to the North-Eastern Company, on a portion of
the line between Newton ICyme and Tadcaster, assaulted
' Mr. Joseph Swale, of Boston, Spa, gentleman, and
formerly of York. It appeared that Mr. Swale, at

carriage for York, in which was the count, who
said there was no room. Mr. Swale got in, however.
and found only two other persons and the count
' in that compartment. When Mr. Swale, with a child of 2}
years, and a nurse girl, got seated, be told the count be
dared not have obstructed his entrance into a carriage
abroad, or be would have be given in care of the gens-
d'artnes. The count replied ; a quarrel ensued ; and Mr.
Swale having said something about so many foreign vag -,
bonds being in this country, a disgrace to their counktr
and themselves, the count drew a stiletto, 504 sal •
"Me kill you." Mr. Swale had the child on 41$ kuee a
the time, or, in the opinion of himself and the two o!be
persons present, the count would have stabbed him.. Twoprc.
