[Williamsburg] Last week Mr. Benjamin Warberton, of James
City county, attempting to seize a Negro fellow in his
kitchen, whom he suspected to be a runaway, was stabbed by
him in the side, but not mortally; but had it not been for a
faithful dog, who flew at the Negro, and tore his leg almost
to pieces, Mr. Warburton, in all probability, would have
lost his life. The dog received two wounds in the fray.
This fellow was a hymn singer, and had a book of them in his
pocket.
