A COLOURED SAILOR SHOT IN LIVERPOOL.—
Last evening several coloured seamen wore in a public-
house in Maguire-street, kept by a person named Thompson,
when a woman went in for the purpose of selling combs.
One of the sailors, named Monroe, took a comb from the
woman without paying far it. Another of the men named
Spurgeon told Munroe to behave like a man and pay for the
comb. Some words ensued between the men, ending in a
quarrel, in which the friends of each took part. The parti-
zans of Munroe were morein number than Spurgeon's, and
the latter man being afraid left the house. He was followed
by the other men, and it was suggested that the matter
should be settled by a fight. Spurgeon agreed to this, pro-
vided he could have fair play. Probably being afraid that
fair play would not be accorded him, he went into William
Tyson's boarding house, also in Maguire-street, followed
by the other seamen. In the backyard of the house Munroe
drew a small revolver, and fired one of the barrels at Spur-
geon, inflicting a wound on the right side of the breast. The
injured man was taken to the Northern Hospital, where he
was attended to by the house surgeon. The latter stated
that the wound was not a dangerous one, but he was unable
to extract ,the bullet, as he could not trace the direction it
had taken. Munroe was afterwards faken into custody
and lodged in Bridwell. At a late hour in the evening
Spurgeon appeared to be progressing favourably. It is
said that Munroe belongs to the ship Webster and Spur-
geon to the Tonwaanda, lying in the Bramley-Moore
Dock.—Liverpool Courier.
