nscious state, he entered Mrs. Edwards's house, and was there attacked by herself and daughter; the first with a knife, the latter with an axe; by which various openings were made in his face and head, and considerable damage done. Others, who saw Bowen on the occasion, said that, from his conduct, he had evidently been made crazy by the liquor he had swallowed; that he attacked "old Mrs. Edwards" with the fury of a maniac, and had she not resorted to the carving process and been ably seconded by her daughter with the axe, she would inevitably have been used up. This Bowen did not deny, for he confessed to knowing very little, save that he had been assaulted by the two women. The amount of provocation given by him he did not know. The Court discharged the accused.--At the request of Frederick Miller, through his counsel, the Court continued his case until the next term. Defendant is charged with mistaking another man's horse for his own — a very common mistake in these war times.
