Last Sunday afternoon about half-past two o'clock Turnkey Fred Wallaco, hearing sounds of flghting in the jail, hastened into the corridor and found a prisoner named James Brady stamping the head of John Robinson, also confined in the jail. There seems to have been no provocation whatever on the part of Robinson, the attack of Brady being solely through ugliness. Robinson is a printer from Hastings, and was confined for drunkenness. His injuries are very severe, his face and head being fearfully mangled. Brady is from Manchester, and is serving a sentence of thirty days for assault and battery. He is conlined now by himself, and has been placed on bread and water. Robinson's injuries are doing as well as BOuld be expected.
