BRUTAL ACT OF VIOLENCE

At 9.30pm on Thursday 28th of June, an affray took place

at the house of Mr. Margison, the Fox and Goose Inn, 

Bolton Street. It appears that some Irishmen and Englishmen

were in company, and a quarrel having taken place on some

trivial point of difference, a fight ensued between one Englishman 

and an Irishman, in which the latter was worsted.

A signal being given, an additional number of Irishmen came

up from Dock Street, and Mr. Butler, who resides in Bolton Street,

of the firm Walker and Butler, having temporarily come out of his

house, one of the Irishmen with a spade in his hand, suddenly rushed

upon Mr Butler and cut him severely on the head, and different parts

of his body. He was much injured, but not so seriously as to place him

in danger.

We hope the ruffian who committed the cowardly assault, may be

immediately brought to justice.
