INVEECAEGILL, This Day.
A stabbing affray took place on Saturday night, on the North road. The injured man, Maurice Gorman, says he was taking one Gilchrist home, being a countryman. When near the creek, Gil* christ said he was deceiving him, and lay down, declining to go further. Gorman filled his hat with water, and threw it over Gilchrist, thinking him drunk. Gilchrist then stabbed him in the groin, saying he would remember him as long as he lived, aud then, leaving Gorman, made his way to Bain's house, and the police were informed. The wound is not essentially dangerous. Gilchrist has been arrested, and says that Gorman and others attempted to rob him, and shows a, knife cut through his coat, vest, and guernsy. Gilchrist was a member of the police force recently, but latterly has been in hospital. Both had been drinking, and had a bottle of whisky with them.
