STABBlNG AFFAIR.

A Bar.Room Quarrel and the Consequences.
I'll will between Patrick Kelly and Ar.
thur Boyle that had its origin in the cleo
ton last Monday, eliminated, last night,
in fight, and the rather serious wounding
of the latter. About half-past IL o'clock
Kelly, deeply intoxicated entered Com
mercial avenue saloon, where Boyle was
engaged at q game of billiards, A quarrel
ensued, during which Kelly charged Boyle
with the grossest political and moral per-
fdy, employing the most abusive epithets
he could command. Boyle retorted by
calling Kelly low character whom nearly
everybody despised, and with remark
which was understood to be: "D-n you,
take your hands out your pockets = struck
Kelly and knocked him down. Kelly re-
covered his feet, and Boyle knocked him
down second time. Recovering again he
assaied Boyle with pocket knife nflcting
rathcran ugly wound on Boyle's shoulder,
slight one in the groin and third one in
the abdomen. At this point the conflict
was ended, and Boyle was con-
veyed to his own homo, where he
now lies under the care of a physician.
None of his wounds are dangerous or
even serious; but it may occur that several
days will elapse before he makes his APP
pearance on the streets again. Kelly was
soon afterwards arrested and conveyed to
the calaboose, to await an examination.
We have heard two or three versions of
the affair, but the one we have given APP
pears TO be the best authenticated. Up TO
within few weeks Boyle and Kelly were
warm friends-on terms Of the strictest
confidence. Their falling out vcrifes the
saying that no enmity is so bitter ms that
which displaces the closest friendship.
A preliminary inquiry will not be in
stituted until Boyle is able to appear as n
witness.

closely that mere glance enables him to
determine, with almost unfailing certain
ty, to so adjust his penalties as to exactly
cover the accused's supply Of grcenbacks.
For instance, Henry Woods fist had col~
lided with the head and other portions of
John Tinons corporal structure, and he was
brought up TO answer for it. The Squire
surmised that Woods wallet contained
about sl3. He therefore imposed a fine of
So and the usual fees, which covered the
defendants pile, TO half dollar.
John Tinon, correctly regarding asti-
cuffs game in which two might partici.
pate, was soon hail fellow well met with
Woods, receiving and giving black eye or
bloody mouth with all the sang froid of
trained boxer. The Squire was exactly
right, when he guessed that Tinon, like
Woods had Sl3. Hence SO fine and 81
costs formed the penalty.
Jim Lamb came up on the charge of
simple drunk, and was fined two dollars.
The Squire was not ut all surprised 10
find Jim without money. lie expected
nothing else; and holding that Of all men
| in the world, the pennies should be the
last to get drunk, he submitted James, tor
the period of eight days to the tender
mercics of jailer Mcllale.
The effcrvescent Samuel Clark, ventured
on n high old lark; but the "minions Of
