PATRICK COLQUIIOI.:\, Esq.—On Morsday last six summonses were issued to bring the par. ties concerned before the Magistrates, to endeaVour fathom this mysterious case, as the wounded man has not been heard of since the evening begone mentioned.—John Read, a watchman of St. Martin's pi. inn, said, that on the night in question he heard the ay of " Murder!" in Newton's-court, Strand., He directly went to the spot, and saw a man lying on the ground bleeding most profusely. He asked who had wounded him, and Mrs. Brocklow, who keeps a brothel in the court, answered that Dodd did it ; that Dockery, another watchman, came up, and they took him to the watch-house ; that he wished to go into the air just alter, being faint; that he went out, and that he never has been able to find him since; he ac-i cidentally met Dodd in Chanchs-street, abut ten minutes alter, and took him into custody.—Ann Webb' says, sho lives in Newton's-court ; was sleeping by the fire-side on Sunday night; was awoke by two girls, who were saying that a man lay dead. She'. went to the door and saw the ntzin ; he appeared to bleed very mueii. She saw the watchmen take him away, and has since heard that the man was dead, and that Dodd was the person that :trick him, but did not see Dodd at all. She knew that Dodd formerly lived ;at Mrs. l3rocklow's house. Ann Brocklow lives in Newton's-court, denies having said to the watchman that Dodd was the man who wounded the sailor.—Sophia Richardson mid Mary Mead, who were among the *mintier summoned, did not appear, and Mr. COLQUHOUN ordered warrants to be issued, to take them into custody, and for them and the prisoner, Dodd, to be brought up on Monde" neat.— John Newman, constable of St. Martiet.steatch. house, said lie had made every enquiry to bpd oat the wounded man, but he did not succeed; however, as the Magistrate had remanded the prisonertill Monday next—by that time, he had not the least doubt, he should be able to unravel the mystery., be having been informed by Bradley, a constable, that he had received information that the sailor was since, dead, and that they had agreed to go to the place this afternoon to discover the body; that when he left the watch-house he passed through the court where he was wounded, and he had no doubt but the roan was concealed by the parties concerted with Dodd in the affair. It was stated in mistake that Joseph Kingston fired a pistol at J. Davies, at one o'clock ors Sunday morning; it was Davies who fired at Kingston, and lie was orought before the Magistrate yesterday ;, but it appears, as no harm was done to either only, their friends had accommodated matters. Kingston did not appear, and the other was discharged. • , Bow-writzEr.—Yesterday Aim Brack was ehar&ed .with an offence tinder the Pedlars' Act.—C. Hutch. ins, of lihn's-place, Lambeth, a batcher, stated, that en Sunday he saw the defendant sell a stick for 6d. and offer two others fur sale, one at 9d. and theother at Is. Yesterday he saw her with a number ots'ticks placed against s house in Sydney's-alley, for sale.— The charge was, however, dismissed for an informality. .1. Browse was charged with taking illegal insurance in the Lottery. Ann Spearman, of Tottenham-place, said she met the defendant at the corner of FrOgwell. court, and insured with him No. MOO, to return oge guinea, if the last-drawn ticket in the last Lutterl came' Nil for which she' paid him Is. aad 6d.
