a lady. He dashed across towards the rival coach in such a
manner, as to throw dirt upon it. The passengers being con-
cerned flw their own safety, most of them got out.
Theliefendunt now boldly declared that he was only trotting his
horses.

to a darker place, and were close to him when they were taken by
witness. One of them gated, in defence, that he had been at
work the whole of the day till half an hour before he was taken,
and that he was nudely taking a walk with the other prisoner, and
denied all knowledge of the attempt. One of the officers said, that

promising to take care of them in future.
They were, however, committed, which was the case with no
less than four other boys this morning for the same offence. •

quiries, we could only ascertain that two individuals lost their
liver, and their bodies were not discovered at twelve o'clock today,
Several individuals met with severe bruises, by falling overboard,
iu addition to a complete ducking.

her from undergoing ablution, although she was kept dang-
ling. between heaven and water for five minutes, to the
