Four Italian seaman named Francisco Traverso, Pascali Pinchall, Vincenzo Pocce, and Luigi Gafiere, were charged by John Ahern, seaman, with stabbing himself and brother the previous night, in Francis-street. Prosecutor deposed to being in company with his brother the previous night at 11 o'clock, and passing these men, who were outside of their boarding-house sitting on the window stools. He bade them good night and prisoner returned his salutation by calling him a most opprobrious name, and although he thought to parley with them, as he called it, and get clear off, one of the prisoners accused him with calling them the same epithet as they had applied to him and his brother. A row then commenced and prisoners drew their knives, and he was stabbed in the back and his brother severely cut by them. The prisoners were remanded till Wednesday.
