THE KNIFE.
John Gibson, a seaman, belonging to H.M.S, Trafalgar, was taken before
the Rev. Dr. Poore, on Thursday, charged with stabbing William Hockin, a
carpenter on board H.M.S Minotaur, on Sunday evening. It appeared from
the prosecutor's statement that between 11 and 12 o'clock at night he
was at the “Rose and Thistle” in Blue-town, Sheerness, having his supper
with other men, when a disturbance took place outside, and a part of the
sailors belongings to the Trafalgar tempted to burst open the door. They
succeeded in effecting an entrance by breaking in a panel, the prisoner
being one of them. He had an open knife in his hand. The prosecutor and
others attempted to put him out, when he struck at him with the knife,
and inflicted a wound between the thumb and the wrist. The prisoner was
committed for trial. |
