would be well to see the house surgeon and have

the prisoner might be removed, but his removal
would PROBABLY be attended with bad results. Mr..
Seebacher was again staggered in his reso;utiOf,
ana before proceeding further he thought it would

tiona guard was placed upon the prisoner, and the
carriage containing the two sub-sheri1s was driven

security OF the prisoner were good he might re-
main at the hospital, subject to the discretion OF
the Sheriff.
Messrs. Seebacher and Shields determined upon
this course, and the Suerin was to be notified late

taken to the TOmDs to-day. Since his arrest Cap
