GREENWICH PETTY SESSIONS.

Yesterday a Petty Session was holden at the Greyhound
nn, Greenwich, when Thomas Henry Latham (late land-
,ord of the Wheatsheaf public-house, Greenwich) was
brought up for final examination, on a charge of stabbing a
young man named Henry William Floyd in the face with
a knife.
Mr. Warner attended on behalf of the prisoner to cross-
examine the prosecutor, which he was unable to do when
the Magistrates went to take his depositions, in consequence
of his alarming state.
The prosecutor, whose face presented a most ghastly
appearance, and who was so weak as to render it necessary
for him to be led into the room, was accommodated with a
chair near the Magistrates, and on being sworn deposed that '
about ten o'clock on the evening of the 24th of August last
be went into the Wheatsheaf public-house, which was kept
by the prisoner, and called for a pot of half-and-half. The
prisoner came down stairs and brought it to him, and held it
out, saying " The money in one hand and the pot of half-
and-half in the other ; give me the money first." Prosecutor
repeated the words " The money in one hand and the pot
of half-and-half in the other," and the prisoner took it back.
After he had done so prosecutor called for it again, and
prisoner again brought it to him, repeating the words he had
before used, and said he would not let him have the beer
unless he was paid first, and took it back again and placed
it on the bar, as he had done before. Prosecutor called to
a man who was acting as waiter, and said, " Bob, bring me
that pot of half-and-half," which the waiter, who had come
down stairs, and was ordering something at the bar, imme-
diately did, and the prisoner, who was standing close by,
made no objection. Prosecutor drank out of the pot, and
passed it round, and, on its coming to him again, he offered
it to the prisoner to drink. Prisoner said he would not.
Prosecutor then said, " You and I never were ill friends,
and if you do not drink I will throw some over you," and re-
peated it three or four times. The prisoner said he would
not drink, and prosecutor threw some over him, when the
prisoner stabbed him at the instant with his right hand in
!..he face, and then grappled with him, and prosecutor and
prisoner had a " tousle." The prosecutor then detailed the
manner in'
which the knife was taken out of his face in the
same way he
before described it, and which has been
published.
The prosecutor was interrogated by the Magistrates as
to whether any other convesation took place between him
and the prisoner ; he said that v7hen the prisoner first came
into the room he asked prosecutor w.4.14t business he had to
call him from his party.
Mr. Smith—Why did you call him down
Prosecutor—There was going to be a fight between two
young men, and one of them, who Was ih the house, said
that Latham .was backing him. I was going to Strood
fair at twelve o'clock that night to sell my goods, and
as I sometimes go to fights I wanted to speak to him
about it.

Mr. WARNER said as this was a brutal and prevailing
practice he should object to its being received in evi-
dence, or appear on the depositions that the prisoner could
be proved to have some connection or participation in the
alleged fight, for it would very much prejudice his case ; he
would, therefore, ask the prosecutor whether the prisoner
had ever admitted the fact ?

The prosecutor said as the prisoner did not speak to him
when he gave him the pot, he did not mention the subject
to him.

By the Magistrates—The prisoner had not been in the
tap-room more than ten minutes before the prosecutor was
stabbed. It was five minutes after he had the beer that he
was stabbed. It did not take two seconds to go from the
taproom to the bar. Prisoner was back so soon that he
had not time to go into the bar, either the first or second
time. He did not appear to have been eating bread and
cheese, nor had he any knife in his band. He could not
have had it either time when he took in the beer, for he
held the beer in one hand, and held the other out for the
money. Prosecutor did not consider that the prisoner
had time to have put his hand into the bar to get a knife,
nor did he see one in his band. Had not quarrelled
with the prisoner. Was never refused to be allowed to
have beer without paying, and had not been in the habit of
frequenting the house since he was married, nor since La-
tham had kept it. He could not account for Latham hav-
ing the knife, but after the second time of bringing the
beer, he might have taken it from out of the bar.
~The depositions of the witnesses taken on a former occa-
sion were then read over, and Mr. Warner cross-examined
the witnesses at considerable length, but he did not succeed
in shaking their evidence in any of the material points.
The deelaration of Floyd, taken before Colonel Foreman on
the 28th of last month, when the unfortunate man was not

expected to live from one moment to another, was read

over to Floyd, and he was Le-sworn to the truth of it.
The prisoner, by the ad-vice of Mr. Warner, declined
making any defence, and the Magistrates, after a short
consultation, committed the prisoner to Newgate, to takil
his trial on the capital charge at the next Central Criminal
Court.

The examination excited much interest in a crowded
justicg-ropm, and a large concourse of people assembled
outside the Grgyhond Inn.

" Frequently," says theCharivari=gne of the
Republican " penny journals " which has survived the Leili
free nently have the ministers of Charles X., im-
prisoned at fiam, cmnplaised of the solitude to which they
are condemned. Let thew, hnlveyer, take courage ;as
the ministerial humbugs are at present going on, they will
not long lack society."
