&Italy' him any, upon which he began to be noisy'.
Wise Witness told him not to abuse a widow woman,.
who had no hushand to- proteet her. This pro. -
duced some words between them,.and at last a short
scuffle ensued. The Prisoner went away, and he
saw no trtdre of him until about three
,quarters of
an hour after. The Witness was then going home,
and he met the Prisoner in the street, who came up
to him, and said he was the 'man who struck his

LcOmrade at the Swan. The Witness said he was
not. The Prisoner said, where are you going to ?
The Witness retorted the'vestion, and sitid, where
are you going to ? The S:ddier,replied, what busi:.

as much right to ask the question as the Prisoner
had of him. The Prisoner said no more, but drew
his sword from under his jacket, and gave the-Wit.

in-on the z7th of August, 'about eleven at- night,

ever, he let. him have a glass. The Prisoner went
to his bed-room, but he heard him shortly after
coming down stairs again. He then saw that the
