Assault on Mr Manning on Mountain Attack by Two Ruffians
An account describes Mr Manning's brutal ambush on a high mountain by two hidden assailants. He fought back, fell from a precipice to escape, and was found at the bagnio with ten wounds and several contusions. His servants, delayed by baggage, carried him back for medical care as suspicions arise about the attackers’ identities and intentions.
