The sear. guinary ruffian having thus parualy disabled the poormnan, threg. a handkerchief over his eyes, and then drew a knife across his throat, which he laid open almost from ear to ear, but the windpipe esgaped injury. Hle then proceeded to rife his pockets, and having iobbed him of a small bundle of apparel, 3s. 6d., aind 4hd. in coppzr, being all the money he had about him, he decaniped, leavin his victim in his gore. White cbanced to be discovered int this alarming situation in about two hours after wZ a, rson ho passed that wav, and who, with assistance, had hins taevn to the George, at Wamnstead, aboat halfa mile distant, where a surgeon atended as soon as possible and dressed the wound, and every at- tention vas paid hin by the ceople of the house. He was on his way at the time he was attacked to Barking poor-bouse, where he was in the habit of reciving a trife weekly towards his sulport. In- formation of the ciTrcumstance having reached MIr. Saunders, orne of the overseers, he promptly repaired to the George, and bad the un- fortunateman taken the same evening in a chase to the Londor Hospital, where he now lies in a very precarious state. The infor- mation which the wounded nian cun give is so imperfect, that it is feared the robber will not be discovered.-Colchester paper.
