manner. Some men then knelt on his throat,
and another held his arm, while a third knelt on
his chest. A fourth was busy at his pockets, from
which he took eight pawnbroker's duplicates, and
3s. sr 4s. in silver. Ireland, 201 I), was on duty
near the spot, when he heard a stifled cry of " Get
off my throat or you'll choke me ;" and upon his
going up to where the cries came from, he observed
the young man on the ground with the four men
in the postion before described. When they saw
him approaching with two other constables, the
four men got up and made off in different directions.
Ireland left one of the constables in charge of Le-
tolffe, who was quite insensible and black in the
face. The prisoners were pursued, and three of
them captured, and the prisoner at that time
escaped. A pawn ticket, a silver pencil case, and
2s. Bd. in money were found on them. The prose-
cutor, before he could proceed to the station to en-
ter the charge, was obliged to be taken to the hos-
pital, as lie was so badly treated. His trowscrs
were so very much torn as to be quite worthless.
The prisoner, in reply to the worthy magistrate,
said he knew nothing about the matter, as he was
not there at the time. _ _

He was ordered to be remanded till next Mon
day, to be brought up with the other prisoners.

SOUTHWARK.—James Lyall, a journeyman
parchment cutter, was brought before Mr. Bur-
cham, charged with stabbing George Lyall, his
brother, with a parchment knife, thereby inflicting
such a severe injury on him as to confine him to his
bedin St. Thomas's Hospital.
Daniel George Lyall, a youth about 16 years of
age, and son of the injured man, said that they all
lived at 3, Smith's-gardens, his uncle, the prisoner,
occupying apartments above. Near one o'clock in
the morning witness went home, and not being able
to get in he pushed at the door. He was admitted,
and then he asked who shut him out, when the pri-
soner said he did. His father then came down, and
angry words were used, when he saw his uncle
rush out with a knife in his hand. His
father and uncle then had a scuffle together in
the dark, when he heard the former call out " You
have stabbed me." Witness called in the police and
his uncle seeing a wound on the fleshy part of the
right arm fetched a piece of flannel and bound it
up. The constable then came and had his father
conveyed to the hospital, where he now remains.
Police-constable 291 M said that between one
and (two o'clock he was called to No. 3, Smith's-
gardens, when he saw the wounded man reclining
on the stairs, with the upper part of his right arm,
bound with flannel. He took him to the hospital,
when it was found that he had a deep cut on the
fleshy part of the arm, and the doctor told him he
had lost two quarts of blood. The prisoner told
witness that he inflicted the wounds, but he had no
intention of doing it ; they had a scuffle in the
dark, and he was not aware that he had the knife
in his hand., Witness took him into custody, and
at the stationhouse he seemed extremely sorry for
his brother's sufferings.
Mr. Burcham remanded the prisoner until Wed-
-nesday next, for the attendance of the surgeon.
