John L. Buckingham is undergoing an examina.

resides in Brooklyn. He met Ensign Wiley, q
Duchess county farmer, in this city on Saturday.
While they were together Wiley displayed $50 or
$50 In greenbacks. After dark Wiley. who was In
town with his team, started for his home, in the
town Of Clinton, Buckingham accompanying him.
When some distance out on the Salt Point
road Cookingham got out OF his seat with
the avowed intention OF regulating the position OF
some empty barrels in the rear Of the wagon. He
had no sooner got among the barrels, however,
than he turned Suddenly upon Wiley and dealt
him two or three severe blows upon the head and
neck with some sharp pointed instrument sup.

Streaming from his wounds. jumped from the
wagon and staggered rather than walked,
to his horses heads, stopping the team
and crying ''murder," Luckily, some neish:

and secured him. Wiley was then attended to,
when 1t was ascertained that his wounds, though
severe were not necessarily serious Cookingham
was taken to Pleasant Valley, before Justice
McCord, where an examination was had, which
lasted till two O'Clock In the morning, when he
sent to the Jail in this city and taken out to Pleas

manded to jail to await the action of the Grand
Jury, which Is now In session here.
