A well-known resident, Harry Grattan, billiard saloon proprietor, was murderously assaulted while on his way home about 11.30 last night and relieved of £BO. Grattan was hit on the head with a sharp instrument and found shortly after in a pool of blood in a semi-conscious condition. He was removed to his home, where he is progressing satisfactorily. Grattan remembers nothing of the assault. The night was very dark and a thick fog assisted the assailant. The police are making investigations, but so far there is no clue.
