Neither of ns spoke to them, or gave them the slightest otionOo,

we have made a mistake," iho prisonci struck uio to the ground

saw- my uncle turned upon ami attacked by the prisoner, who 
dealt him sovorol tremendous blows, from the last of which ho 
fell, und lay perfectly senseless. The blows wore delivered with 
such rapidity that it was impossible for him to defend himself, 
mid on (ho 'men running away and my going to ussist him, 1 
found him bleeding from Li- eves, nose, and mouth. Tho attack 
was close to a gnslamp. 1 had a full view of tho prisoner's face,

could identity him at oaco as the sumo man. Mrs. Elisa Porter, 
the wife of a commercial clerk in lloxton-squnro, after des- 
cribing the suddenness and brutality of the attack in similar terms 
to those imployod by the last witnesses added: After the men had let t 
1 Inin, 1 looked nt Mr. Francis Anderson as lie lay on the ground, 
and found him bleeding dreadfully, so that l could not dis- 
tinguish or.o of his features. Ho was entirely senseless then,

Mr. Anderson was in tho nionntiino brought into the stn-
