saw Tansey cut IIoaloy with Lis knife. Tan.
| sey was thon standing on the sidewalk,

1iiclael Markham, Of No. GO John street, toH.
titled, but 1ia evidence is not worth publishing
It Is very contradictory, and proves conolusiycly
that tho young man knows moro than he wants

nesges examined yesterday gayo in their testi'
mony impressed tho hearers with the Bnmo.
There arc important Witnesses still who have
