A MAN STABBED IN THE SAW

Yesterday evening, about .five o'clock, the city
was thrown into a state of great excitement, in conse-
quence of a report that Mr. Wilson, of the Saw-mills,
stabbed a young man named Towel, a recruit belong-
ing to the East India Company's service. As well as
we can learn, from the different statements, the fol-
lowing are the circumstances under which the wound
was given :—lt appears that a report was current, yes-
terday; in the city, that the four sawyers, who were
• convicted on Friday evening, would he sent to Dub-
lin by the Severn steamer, which sailed from the St.
George Steam Pachet-office. The rumour turned out
to be a false one, as the convicts were not put on board.
Disappointed in their desire to see the convicts, the
crowds were returning from the Packet office towards
the bridge, when some among them stopped before the
• door of. the SaW-mills which faces.the quay, along
which the people were then passing. It appears that it
wOsrainingat the time, and some persons of the crowd
sought shelterin the gateway or passage of the mill. A
man named Walsh, in the employment of Mr. Wilson,
became alarmed at the- presence of the people, and
told his master " that the men were afraid to work,
unlesi the lower dOnr was closed." Upon which Mr.
Wilson.proCeeded to shut the door, and on going to
do so; it is-said, that, in.the dark passage, he stum-.
bled upon three personi, with one of whom (Towel)
he grappled, when a scuffle ensued between them,
andiNfr. Wilson plunged a dagger into the side of the
young man. The wound was a severe one, and bled
profusely. The wounded man was than taken to the
North Infirmary, where, it is said, he was refused
admittance, upon which he was taken to the General
Hospital in the Cork Barracks,' where he now lies in
a most dangerous condition. ;.
Another report is--that this young man, attracted
by curiosity, entered the mill, and said to some per-
sons near him—" Where is the fellow who swore
against the sawyers r. and that Mr. Wilson, hearing
the words, rushea towards him, saying,," Here I am,
what is it you want of me 1.7. To which Towel said,
"I do not want vou at all. " Leave the place, this
moment," said Wilson. Thu young man refused,
upon which it is said that Mr. Wilson flung himself
upon him, and stabbed him in the side with a dag-
ger, which he constantly kept in his pocket.—Cork
Examiner.
