Police Intelitgence | Serious Stabling Case on Board the Ship Benja- | min Howard —Th our issue of yesterday, we, o | to an inability to procure a sight of the affidavite, mentioned only the fact of Mr. Hughes, who was seoond mate on board the vessel, being stabbed in a dangerous manver. The facts of the case are as follows:—The ship Benjamin Howard, George W. H. Bartlett, master, bound for Callao, Peru, was on | Thuredey being towed out of port by a : When he chserved a sailor on bourd, Grimes, who sppeared to be somewhat intoxicated, throwing stoves at the second mate, with the evi- | dent intention of doing him an injury. Capt. Bart- | lett immediately ordered him to be put in irons, aud on inquiring for the reason for this violent conduct was bnformed that Grimes wae exasperated with Mr. Hughes for baving roused hint somewhat roughly out of Bis berth, im order to attend to his duty of the ship out of harbor, Grimea-at the tine ig intoxicated, After, according to the Cap- bi ih rs, Sia ta ees be ne Se aboas an cur, he sent for Mr. Hughes and’ im to yeleare him from his irons, abe sorrow for his conduct, aad promising to behave ter in fu- ture... Mr. Hughes, after a few moments’ convidera- tion, Otdered the irons to be taken off, aud the mon tumed up for duty. Mr. Hughes then wert -on deck, and was busving himself ia ananging the baweer, and was stooping fo the purpece, when Grimes, who had come on deck suddenly yprang rp<n him, drew his sheata knife ond made @ lunge at Mr. Hughes, which took effec in his ear, through which it passed’ and inflictea a hightiu) gexsh inthe neck. The man was imine si tely sized before he could repeat the blow, bu Marzeed to turow the knife overboard. Mr. Hughes sank to the deck, the blood welling from the wound in bis neck at a prodigious rate. The wound was borrd up as well aa the Gsptain had ability, aud which partly etepped the effnsion of blood; when the avchor was ordered to be let.go, and the wounded men sent ashore to the New York Hospital, wiere he lies in a dangerous condition, aud the danger not lessened by the opyressire heat of the weather. Upon Captsin Bartlett asking the man the reason of such conduct after Mr. Hughes had released him, he said he meant to kill the second mate, and after- wards drown bimselt.. The ship was in conseyuence detained until Friday, when Captain Bartlott gave illiam Lynch, William Mcin- tyre and Edward Harris, sailors on board the ves- sel, were detained as witnesses.
