longing to the steam-ship Golden Age, was charged, yester-
day, with an aggravated assault on one of his comrades,
on Sunday night last, in a bye street leading off Scot-
land-road. It appeared the prisoner had struck and
severely wounded, in the eye, with the pivot end of a
clasp knife, the complainant, who had nearly lost the
sight of that organ by the severity of the wound. Pri-
soner, who said nothing beyond the admission that he was
so stupidly drunk at the time that he had no recollection
whatever of the occurrence, was ordered to pay a fine of
£5, or be imprisoned for two months.

terday, with assaulting and stabbing Thomas Chapman,
on the morning of Sunday, the 16th instant. It appeared
that the complainant and prisoner, along with others, had
arrived from America by the same ship on the previous
day. Complainant, prisoner, and another man, named
Millington, went to lodge in the house of one Kenney in
Gloucester-street ; all of the three went to bed in the same
room about eleven o'clock, complainant and Millington oc-

Shortly after midnight complainant was awoke by prisoner
making a great noise and swearing. On being remon-

and cut him severely with a large clasp-knife on the right
knee. Chapman had to be taken to the Northern Hospital,
where the wound was dressed, and of that institution he
still continued an inmate. The wound was stated not to
be of a dangerous nature. Prisoner was committed for
