to stop him, when the prisoner threw his left arm round and stabbed him on the right shoulder inflicting a wound which penetrated to the lung. Sergeant Jerry felt blood, but he pluckily continued the pursuit, and struck the prisoner on the head with a stick he had in his hand and knocked him down in the gutter.
The prisoner raised himself up, held the knife in a threatening attitude, and then made a bolt. The sergeant again pursued him and knocked him down a second time. Noticing then that he was without his knife, the sergeant seized him, and the Chinese constable and a district watchman coming up at the time, he handed him over to them to take to the station.
He himself being obliged to go to the hospital in consequence of his wound, a knife was found near where the struggle had taken place and sold it the next day to a hawker. The knife was produced in Court, and D. Wharry, the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital, who attended to the Sergeant's injury, said the wound might have been inflicted with such a weapon.
Dr. Wharry described the wound and said that when the sergeant was brought in, the witness had doubts as to his survival. The lung had been permanently injured more or less. He continued in hospital until the 31st of May.
