An elderly person, of respectable appearance, who had
been sitting on the seat under the judge's bench,i got up
and walked to the counsel's table, and placing, himself
close to Mr. Giffard, who was the r. of ganticman on the
seat, he said, in an earnest and solemn tone, "Do you
remember Cardiff?" and at the same time placed the
muzzle of a pistol close to his cheek and pulled the trig-
ger. The weapon exploded with a slight report, and, from
what was afterwards discovered, it appeared that the
bullet which it contained had just previously dropped
from the barrel. The fatal intention was thus frustrated,
and the effect of the discharge was merely to occasion a
slight injury to the cheek of tha gentleman attacked :--
"For an instant the court was almost paralysed, but there'
were speedy cries to seize the party, and Russell, one of
the city detective policemen, and Rutland, who is an officer
attached' to the corporation, seized the prisoner. Mr.
Sheriff-Wallis at once directed that he should be searched
to see if he had any other deadly weapons about his per-
son ; and the prisoner, with great coolness, exclaimed,
' Yes, I have another pistol ;' and added, ' it is loaded,' at
the same time taking the pistol from his breast pocket
and handing it to the officers; and, nuacipnieaiptrisonlblgaeriasndgweixti
