Details

John S, aged 27, a table knife blade grinder came to the outpatients room of the Sheffield General Infirmary at noon on November 6 1863.

He stated that two days before, when slightly intoxicated, he received a blow on the head inflicted by a comrade with a stool.

He was insensible for a few moments, but quickly recovered and went to a druggist's with a wound on the forehead which bled freely. The wound was dressed, but the bleeding continued more or less until the patient came to the Infirmary.

The patient was a man of repulsive countenance and ill formed, but intelligent.
