five o'clock, Mr.. Townsend came down int
the office, and laying his cane on the desk,
turned towards the wash-room, having to
pass Mr. Whiteley on the way, but not observ-
Ing him until he rose and moved towards
him, Whitley, Immediately struck Townsend
a violent blow on the head, staggering him
by the blow, but both being powerful men,
thew cinched, and Townsend succeeded in
dragging Whitley by the neck-tie across the
Office, both striking rapidly, until Whitley
fell with Townsend uppermost, considerable
blood being in full flow from both partles.-
Townsend then shook Whitley with some
force, and said. Sir, | want no difficulty
with you, and if you promise to behave
Yourself and leave me alone, | will let you
up" Whitley replied harshly, refusing to
make any promise and still struggling.
The Clerk of the hotel, who alone witness
ed the alteration, the hour being so early
that there was but few persons about, called
assistance. and with the aid of u police OF
fcer separated the parties. When Whitley
arose he Immediately commenced to search
his pockets for a weapon. when Townsend
remarked 10 the officer, BE careful he may
be armed" Not finding pistol in his peck
ct, he commenced looking around the floor
for it, but Townsend first got sight of it
where it had fallen from the pocket OF his
antagonist in the struggle and seizlng 1t re-
marked, Il will take care Of this for the
present." at the same time putting it in his
own pocket Whiteley was then taken out
