the prisoner, came up to me and asked, "What can Ido
for you?" I replied, "You run and bring the nearest
constable you can find." He did so, and in a few minutia
he returned with Caleb Davis, 22 F, who task .ed what
Ras the matter. I said that man there , point-
leg to the prisoner, has got some tv, eapon in
his bend. I did not know what it NEM then,
and said he must be very careful with h .im. The
prisoner then turned round to go in another direction,
when we rushed behind him, and each of us laid bold
of either arm.
Mr. 11-Emu—Had he the knife still open in his handy
Witness—He had, your Worship. I got hold of his left
arm and 22 caught hold of his right, and wb Me I was
trying to take the knife away from him, I said to Davis,
" Mind, my lad, or he will stab you." Davie a replied,
"By God, he has done it already," and then dropping
the prisoner's arm, he said, " I feel the blood trickling
down into my boots." The boy Crow then to ok hold of
his right arm, while Davies picked up the ku ife, which
the prisoner had thrown down, and then sprang his rattle.
A third constable then came up, and the pr isoner was
with some difficulty carried to the station. 0 n the way
there he conducted himself in a very frantic m inner, and
let pt swearing and cursing, declaring that he ltnew what
b-- Englishmen were, and he would let aomebody
know it, for he.had got something else up biS °lee"
which would do for them.
Mr. HENRY—What became of the constabi, irh° "6

cab, and from thence he was sent to KieVe Cullege

Mr. HENnY—Have you seen him this morning?
Witness—Yes, Sir; he was still bleeding wry much'
and the surgeon would not allow him to leave his bed.
The prisoner said he had no questions to :put to this
witness.
Inspector Dodd said I was on duty at the B
station between one and two o'clock this morning when
the charge was brought in, If 22 came in as id said
me, " This man (pointing to the prisoner) has stobbea
me in the thigh with this knife," handing me the knife,
which I now produce. (It was a long sharp-pointed in
strument.) The prisoner said nothing, but b eing very
drunk be behaved in a wild, ridiculous mannor, vowing
ow-street
vengeance against all b-- Englishmen, I directed
22 to return to the cab and Iv off directly to the hospital
where the wound, which was a large one, anti bad it been
an inch or two deeper, would have caused instant
death,
