FELONIOUS ASSAULT WITH INTENT AT STOCKTON.  James Loyden (27), fumacetnan, was charged with having feloniously assaulted James Garvey, with intent to murder, at Stockton, on the 11th December last. Mr Greenhow prosecuted, and Mr Blackwell defended.—On the day in question, prosecutor, who is a puddler, was in the Golden Fleece public-house, Portrack-street, Stockton. About eleven o'clock at night prisoner, a man named Edward Nugent, and several other men went into the kitchen, where prosecutor was sitting. Some words ensued, and Nugent told prosecutor if he valued his life he had better leave the house. They (prosecutor and Nugent) left the house together, but they had not got very far before the prisoner and another man came up, and prisoner struck Garvey a heavy blow on the left temple, knocking him down, in which position he was kicked by pnsoner's companions. A servant girl in the publichouse named Mary Ann Collins, deposed to hearing prisoner whilst in the kitchen making use of the expression, "I have it in for you (prosecutor), and I'll have it out of you." Shortly afterwards all the men left the house, but returned in about five minutes time, the prisoner and Nugent having exchanged caps in the meantime.—Mr Butler, surgeon, deposed to the serious character o the wounds inflicted on prisoner, who had lost the use of his left eye.—Several witnesses who witnessed the attack were called in support of the charge.—Mr Blackwell contended, for the defence, that the witness Collins had been mistaken in supposing that prisoner made use of the threatening expression in the public-house, and that prosecutor also had been mistaken in believing that prisoner was the person who had attacked and struck the blow which felled him to the ground. The man Nugent (who had absconded) was, he argued, the person who struck the blow which injured proseeutor.—His Lordship summed up, and the prisoner was found guilty of unlawfully wounding, and was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment, the Judge, in passing sentence, remarking that prisoner might thank his stars that he had not been found guilty of the first count in the indictment, in winch case he would have been sentenced to a long term of penal servitude.  liforniman's Pure Black Tea: The uniform GREAT STRENGTH of this Tea is much appreciated, from its consisting only of the choicest Spring growths that have n 3 inferior leaves to be disguised with injurious artificial colouring powder.
