age, and having some altercation with the prosecu-
trix, about his carrying his things into the kitchen
stead of his pantry, he seized a knite, which was res-
cued from him ; but upon some further words, he
grasped another, and made a blow at her hand, which
wounded her so desperately, that she has had a sur-
geon attending her several weeks, and still continues
unable to attend her business.

to throw the whole of the aggravation upon his fel-
low servant. But the Jury found him Guilty ; and

night, in order to srend their pay, got drunk, and
made such a noise on the prosecutor's beat, that he

comrade, they drew their bayonets, and Penn woun-

to endanger his life. Guilty—Sentence postponed.
