Stabbing Case.

John Leydon, auctioneer, Thames, was arrested for stabbing a man named O'Keefe, in Qninlan's hotel, on Saturday night. He ,was brought up before the Mayor of the Thames this morning, and remanded to Grabamstown for police examination by the R.M. The injured man is better, and has gone down with the prisoner. Later. The stabbing case arose out of a publichouse quarrel. The accused was very loquacious and disturbed the boarders, refusing to go away when the landlord told him there was no accomodation for him. O'Keefe went into the room where he was creating a disturbance and attempted to take away some of his clothes with a view to remove him, when Leydon raised his arm and O'Keefe seeing a knife in his hand with the blade pointing downwards at once closed with his antagonist and received severe stabs in the neck and back whilst wrestling with him, and before assistance came, to separate them.
