Tue StanBine Casz.—The young man Harris, who was accused of stabbing Robert Harrison, appeared before Justice Drury this morning for a further hearing. Charles Harrison, who was with Harris at the time of the attack, stated that they left the bar- ber's shop near by together when they thought the scuffle between the parties throwing stones had ended, and while standing on the pavement Robert Harrison came up and looked Harris in the face. Harris asked, ‘‘ What’s the matter??? Harrison replied ‘‘ What do you think, you son of a b—h,”’ and struck him and knocked him back. Is not mistaken. Robert Harrison was recalled, and reiterated his former statement. He denied that he was drunk at the time of the scuffle. Justice Drury said that he felt bound to send this case to a higher tribunal, where the conflict- ing testimony could be sifted. It was clear to him that an offence had been committed. He ac- peg 8 ordered Harris to give bail in the sum of $200 for his appearance at the Criminal Court ; which was given. ‘ The Other Side.—Immediately upon the closing of the stabbing case, and bail had been given by young Harris, he went to the office of Justice Donn and obtained warrants against Robert Har- rison, Jack Robinson and George Barr, each, for | assault and battery upon him.
