UNIOiV-HALL,

Henry .Heclington' a young man in the service of Mr.
Cook, a surgeon, in Stamford-street, was charged with
wounding his employer, and attempting to stab a police-
man of the L division in taking him into custody.
From Mr. Cook's evidence, it appeared that the pri-
soner had been in his employment four years, and con-
ducted himself with great propriety up to last Christ-
, mas, on which occasion he got drunk, and while in that
state acted with great violence, but he was not dis-
missed from his situation, owing to the respect felt fur
his family. Since that period, the prisoner went on very
well up to the preceding afternoon. When Mr. Cook
returned home from visiting his patients, he found him
in a state of intoxication, and desired him to leave
the house. The 'prisoner, however, refused, and snatch.
ing up a knife, with dreadful imprecations threat-
ened to stab any one who approached him. When a
policerhan was called in, the prisoner still flourished
the knifo about, but the former took an opportu-
nity of seizing the hand in which ho held the knife, and
held him in that position. The prisoner, however, con-
trived to slip the weapon into the hand which was disen-
gaged, and he then made three different stabs at the
policeman,- none of which, fortunately, took effect, when
Mr. Cook, seeing the prisoner bent on mischief, rushed
upon him, and, in attempting to wrest the knife from his
with adhesive plaister.

have committed murder, if the weapon had not been
wrested from his hands at the time, and that in getting
it away from him his own hands were also cut.
The prisoner said he was intoxicated, and was sorry
besides adjudging for what had happened.
