ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. SUFFOLK (EAST). The official declaration of the numbers polled was made yesterday at Ipswich, and the attendance on and about the hustings was as numerous as on the occasion of the nomination. The HIGH SHERIFF stated that the numbers polled for Lord Henniker—(cheers) —were 2,677 ; for Sir Fitzroy Kelly—(cheers and groans)-2,517 ; and for Colonel Adair—(cheers)-1,883. He there fore declared Lord Henniker and Sir Fitzroy Kelly duly elected. Lord HENNIKER, in returning thanks for his election, said the present was the seventh occasion on which.the electors of East Suffolk had returned him as their representative to the House of Com mons. The result of the contest showed that the opinions of the constituency were the same as when he first appeared before them in 1832. (Cheers.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on coming forward, was received with cheers and groans. He said— Gentlemen, once again I stand before you to return you my sincere thanks for having now for the fifth time elected me your representative. My gratifica tion is still higher, because I feel that it is not to the humble individual who now addresses you that you have extended your confidence, but, looking to the majority on the poll, I feel that you have supported those great principles of the constitution of the country—(cheers)—which I have affirmed, and which you have declared to be your own. (Cheers, cries of " No, no," and considerable inter ruption.) In this moment of triumph it is impos sible to look upon the state of Europe and upon the state of England without the deepest anxiety. Now that you have once more sent me to Parlia ment as your representative, I feel called upon to declare to you, in a few plain and explicit words, the line of policy which I propose to adopt. I trust and believe that as long as is consistent with the safety of England the Government of the country will preserve a perfect and absolute neutrality in the great conflict which is now raging throughout Europe. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) It is impos sible to look with favour and perfect approbation upon the conduct of any one of the allied Powers —I mean the allies of England who are now engaged in mortal conflict upon the continent of Europe. Undoubtedly the Empire of Austria ought to be maintained in its power and independence, because it is the only barrier between Russia and Turkey---the only stay by which the great power of Russia can be prevented from overrunning or overwhelming Europe. I trust, therefore, whatever may be the event of the great battle which we are destined to witness, Austria will remain firm and unhurt in her independence. (Cheers.) But, while I declare this opinion, I also say, with perfect sin cerity, that I earnestly hope, should Austria attempt to interfere with the perfect freedom and indepen dence of the States of Italy, that she will be defeated in such an enterprise. (Cheers.) If no other good results from the great contest in which so many of the Powers of Europe are engaged, I hope that be fore many months are past that we shall see Tuscany, Naples, and the other States of Italy at least in a state of freedom and independence. (Cheers.) When we turn to Sardinia, the ancient ally of England— allied in blood also, as the Royal family of that country are to our own most gracious Sovereign— while we cannot but condemn the precipitancy and temerity with which Sardinia has allowed her States to be not the refuge and the asylum, but the stronghold and castle of all the malcontents and rebels of Italy, still we must look to Sardinia as a country in which the seeds of foreign freedom are sown. (A Voice—" We want them sown at home")—and I hope those seeds will sprout and blossom till the entire independence of Italy, under the guardianship of Sardinia, shall be secured. With regard to France, the Sovereign of that coun try has certainly hitherto been a firm and faithful ally of England ; and although he reigns despo tically over that great country, I venture to say to you that we ought to be content with the freedom which we enjoy ourselves, and let us in no way interfere with the affairs of any foreign country. In the coming conflict throughout the continent of Europe we shall see perhaps Sardinia against Austria, and Russia and France maintaining and supporting Sardinia ; but, whatever be the result of this, be assured that the Government of this coun try—at least, so long as her Majesty shall leave it in the hands to which it is now committed—will secure the honour and independence of England, and endeavour to preserve that absolute neutrality by means of which this great country will be enabled to support the cause of liberty and justice ; and I trust when the war shall come to a conclusion we shall find the honour of England untarnished, her finances unimpaired, her power undiminished, and that she will have shown herself, as she ought to be, the arbiter of the world. (Cheers.) Now, a word upon the subject which we have so often dis cussed together within the last fortnight, I mean the great question of reform. I will, in a very few plain and explicit words, declare to pit the line of policy which I intend to adopt upon that great and leading question. (Hear, hear.) Whatever my enemies may have told you, I have always been the sincere and consistent friend of reform. (Cheers.) I have borne my part in all the reforms which have taken place in this country since I first took my seat in the House of Commons ; and, with regard to the representation of the people, I now declare to you my determination to support any measure which I shall think consistent with the security of the great institutions of the country and the sta bility of the British constitution. (Cheers.) I shall begin by a wide, large, and perfect enfranchisement of the whole middle classes of the country. (A Voice," Why not the working classes ?") For why, as I asked you two years ago, are you, the inhabi tants of the borough of Ipswich, to possess votes and return members to Parliament, while the inha bitants of equal worth and merit of Woodbridge, Lowestoft, and half a hundred other towns in this county and throughout England are without the franchise ? (Cheers.) I shall therefore endeavour both in town and country to enfranchise the people by granting the elective franchise in the first place to the whole middle classes of the country yet un represented. In this manner not only shall we do justice to those who are entitled to it, but we shall create a counterpoise to that flood of democracy with which you are threatened by the party to which my hon. and gallant friend (Colonel Adair) belongs. (Cheers and groans.) I heard my hon. and gallant friend declare his opinions to be still favourable to the ballot. If there was any question upon which I should have expected a gallant soldier and defen der of his country, like my hon. and gallant friend, would have exhibited the straightforward and inde pendent feeling which is inconsistent with the bal lot, it is this. The ballot would be no protection, because it would fail to secure secrecy, or, if it did secure secrecy, it effects the object at the expense of truth. I will never be a party to any measure which will convert the whole body of English elec tors into cowards. An Englishman and a coward are two words that cannot stand together. (Cheers.) I have only to say that here and elsewhere through out this realm of England I am ready to meet you. Once more, gentlemen, I return you my sincere thanks for the honour you have for the fifth time conferred upon me. As long as you shall call upon me I shall be ready to reappear here, confident that with your support you and I together shall main tain the honour of our country's name, and that you will do justice to the principles which you profess by returning as your representative in Parliament those to whom you can safely commit a share in the great destinies of the'country. (Loud cheers.) Col. ADAIR, who was received with loud cheers and groans, next addressed the electors. The gal lant colonel said the minority in which he now found himself was 500 less than at the election which he contested in 1843, and he had to thank the great body of the Liberal party for the noble manner in which they had supported him. Lord HENNIKER proposed, and Colonel A DAIR seconded, a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff. The proceedings then terminated. SURREY (EAST). DECLARATION OF THE POLL. Yesterday morning the official declaration of the poll for the Eastern division of the county of Surrey was made. The HIGH SHERIFF announced the following as the result of the polling : Mr. Alcock 2,953 'Mr. Locke King . ... .2,926 Mr. Cleasby He therefore declared Mr. Alcock and Mr. Locke King duly elected knights of the shire to serve in Parliament. Mr. ALCOCK, after thanking the electors for the honour they had conferred upon him, proceeded to touch upon general questions. As to the result of the dissolution of Parliament, he believed it would be found that about 25 members would have been added to the strength of Lord Derby in the House of Commons, and as about a million of money had been expended in the elections, every new adherent gained by Lord Derby would have cost about £40,000. When _Sir Wm. Jolliffe laid before the noble lord a list of the 25 new men, he thought the n oble lord would be of opi n i on th a t many of them were very bad bargains, and certainly not worth the pr i c e paid for them. (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. LOCKE KING expressed himself greatly gra tified with the progress which the Liberal cause had made in East Surrey. In 183'7 the Conserva tives polled at a contested election 2,1'16 votes , • in 1852 the number d ecreased to 2,004 ; and in 1859 there had been a still further reduction, notwith standingped that a larger number, of electors had than on any previous occasion, (Cheers) In 1837 he only polled 1,865 votes ; in 1852 he polled 2,508 ; and on the present occasion he had polled 2,926. That afforded clear proof of the rapid pro gress which the Liberal party were making in East Surrey, and it must not be forgotten that upon this occasion the Conservatives had ontested the election under circumstances of peculiar advan tage. A candidate standing singly hid a great advantage over joint candidates, and had it not been for the fortuitous circumstance th it the polling for East Surrey took place on the same day as that for West Kent, the majority for his hon. friend (Mr. Alcock) and himself would most likely have been increased by 300 or 400. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Cleasby) had stated in his address that he was determined that East Surrey should have an opportunity of expressing its opi nion on the present state of affairs, and they had had the fullest opportunity of doing so, inasmuch as he (Mr. Locke King) had stated in the strongest terms that he did not feel that the honour of Eng land was safe in the hands of Lord Malmesbury. The sense of the country had now been taken upon the question, and the result was that he (Mr. Locke King), against whom the principal opposition had been directed, had been returned, and he would tell them that the first vote he should give when he had the opportunity would be to turn out the Ministry. (Cheers and disapprobation.) He would repeat the declaration which he had already made in the House of Commons, that he had always considered the Government of Lord Derby a provisional Govern ment, holding opinions diametrically opposed to those of the majority of the House of Commons. He had been charged with attempting to do away with a law which had been in force 800 years ; and what had the Conservative party done ? They had attempted to do away with one of the most ancient laws on the statute-book----namely, that by which a freeholder possessed the right to vote, and the esta blishment of which was the first dawn of freedom in this country. (Hear, hear.) But, supposing the law relating to the descent of landed property had been in existence for 800 years, by whom was it first introduced ? Why, by a savage and barbarous body of conquerors, whose object was to keep the land in a few hands, so that every land owner should be able to bring a vast number of dependents into the field, and thus protect his con quest. Our old Anglo-Saxon forefathers divided the land equally among all the children, and not among the sons only, according to the general idea of gavelkind. He denied that he had held up the French code as a model to be adopted in this coun try. All he did was to complain generally of the state of the statute law in this country, and to urge the necessity of separating the dead from the living law, so that the people should have ready access to the statutes, and be enabled fully to understand them. The Americans had proceeded wisely in the matter, but all we had done had been to appoint commission after commission, the only result being to squander the money of the nation. Instead of asking the House of Commons to adopt French law, all tiat he had done had been to remind them that the French code was accessible to every Frenchman, and at the cost of about i 3d. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman then concluded by thanking the electors for the honour they had done him in again return ing him as their representative. Mr. CLEASBY, the unsuccessful candidate, then briefly addressed the electors amid considerable interruption, thanking them for the support he had received. A vote of thanks to the High Sheriff brought the proceedings to a close. KENT (WEST). The official declaration of the poll was made yesterday at Maidstone by Sir Edmund Hoare, acting as the deputy of the High Sheriff of the county. There was a very large assemblage, and a good deal of excitement prevailed, the Liberal party being excessively mortified at their defeat. The numbers were declared as follows : Viscount Holmesdale . 3,769 Sir Edmund Filmer 3,684 Mr. C. W. Martin ....3,584 Mr. J. Whatman . . 3,460 Sir E. HOARE therefore declared Viscount Holmesdale, and Sir E. Filmer, Bart., duly elected to serve as knights of the shire for the western division of the county of Kent in the ensuing Par liament. (The announcement was received with a tremendous volley of cheers from the friends of the successful candidates.) YORKSHIRE (`ti EST RIDING.) Both the Liberals and the Conservatives appear sanguine of success at the election for this riding, the poll for which will take place this day (Tues day). The leaders of both parties seem to think that Sir J. W. Ramsden is sure to be re-elected, and the struggle xill be between the Hon. James Stuart Wortley and Mr. Frank Crossley. The central committee of Messrs. Ramsden and Cross ley sits at Leeds, and that of Mr. Wortley sits at Wakefield ; but there are committees for the re spective parties in all the chief towns of the riding, and they were busy yesterday (Monday) in making preparations for the important work of to-day. Exclusive of duplicate entries and deaths, there are about 35,000 voters on the register ; and, from the strenuous efforts making to get persons to vote, it is expected that 33,000 of these or more will be found recording their votes to-day. It seems that the number of persons present at the nomination on Saturday amounted to fully 20,000, but, as usual on such occasions, a vast number of them were non-electors. MIDDLESEX.

This was an indictment against the defendant for libel, the prosecution being instituted by Dr. Godfrey, the defendant in an action for seduction of a very extraordinary character, which lasted seve ral days in the Court of Queen's Bench, the present prosecutor ultimately having a verdict in his favour. The prosecution arose out of an article published in a newspaper circulating at the east end of the town, having reference to this trial. The bill was found at the last session, and the defendant had since put in a special plea, justifying the libel on the ground of it being true. Sergeant Parry was specially retained, with Mr. Tindal Atkinson and Mr. Poland, to conduct the prosecution ; Sergeant Ballantine, who was also specially retained, Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. Gifford, were counsel for the defendant. Sergeant Ballantine made an application to post pone the trial to the next session on behalf of the defendant, the ground of the application being that it was found impossible to procure the attendance of a witness named in the plea at this session, whose evidence was considered to be very material for the defence. An affidavit to that effect was handed to the court, and also a counter affidavit on behalf of the prosecution. It was agreed between the learned counsel on both sides that no comments should be made in reference to the case, and that the question of the postponement of the trial should be left entirely in the hands of the court. Sergeant Ballantine, in answer to a question put by the Recorder, said that it was undoubtedly very material to the inquiry that the witness ,lamed in the plea should be in attendance, and he believed that by the next session she would be present. Sergeant Parry said he concurred with his learned friend in thinking that it was very important the witness referred to should be present, and Dr. God frey was most anxious that she should be examined, and on his part he should therefore offer no opposi tion to the postponement of the trial, as all that Dr. Godfrey desired was that the truth should be made known. The Recorder said that as the prosecutor consented to the postponement of the trial, and a very impor tant question of character was involved in the in quiry, upon which the evidence of the absent witness would be most material, he thought the better course would be to grant the application for postponement. The case will consequently stand for the Tune session. Alfred Williams, 49, was indicted for misde meanour, in having obtained money by false prz. tences. Mr. Poland prosecuted ; Mr. Sleigh was counsel for the defendant. This was a prosecution instituted by the Mendicity Society, and the evidence went to show that the defendant had been carrying on a very extensive system of plunder upon the charitable portion of the community. Mr. Aldous, a gentleman residing in Soho-square, said that the defendant called upon him, and represented himself to be Dr. Felix Arnold, of Baliol College, Oxford, and that he had just arrived in London by the train, and was short of cash to take him home. The prisoner had the appearance of a gentleman, and he succeeded in disarming his suspicion, and he gave him 10s., and the prisoner promised to send him a post-office order for the amount on the following day, but he never heard anything of him until he was in custody. Mr. Freeman, an iron -merchant, in Cannon-street, said the prisoner called on him on the 21st January, and after apologising for the intrusion, told him that he bad just arrived from Edinburgh by the steamboat, and that he was short'of cash to convey him to Low Moor, in Yorkshire, where he resided, and he wished for assistance to enable him to reach his destination. Witness told him he had been so often imposed upon that he was compelled to be cautious, but he had so much the appearance and manners of a gentleman that he felt some delicacy in asking him for some confirmation of his story, and he then said that he was well known to Mr Wickham, the member for Bradford, and to the clergyman of Low Moor, whose name he mentioned, and with whom witness was ac quainted, and he added that he did not like to go into a pawnbroker's shop to pledge his watch, but lie was willing to leave it with him as security. The prisoner said he only wanted £l, as that would be sufficient to take him home by the third class train, but witness said that it must be unpleasant for a gentleman to travel by such a conveyance, and gave him two sovereigns, the pri soner, when he received the money, assuring him, on the word of a man of honour and a Christian, that he would remit him the amount the moment he got home. Another case of a similar character was gone into, and it appeared that when the prisoner was taken into custody a number of what are called in slang phraseology " tickets" were found upon him, containing the names of persons well known in dif ferent localities in all parts of the country, to whom fraudulent persons might make reference in case of necessity. Mr. Sleigh said he had watched the case, and he felt it was hopeless to offer any defence, and the jury therefore at once returned a verdict of guilty. The Recorder, in passing, sentence, observed that proceedings like those of which the prisoner had been guilty were calculated to entirely dry up the springs of charity ; and he ordered him to be kept to hard labour fcr 18 months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —May 9. CLERKENIftLL.--UTTERING FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.—Edward Clowden, aged 45, a man dressed as a sailor, and Edward Heath, aged 47, a tobacco pipe manufacturer, carrying on busi ness at 6, Mansfied-place, Kentish Town, were charged before Mr. Curie with attempting to utter a forged £5 Bank of England note to Miss Char lotte Hones, of 11, Weston-place, Somers Town. The prisoners, in company with another man, entered the shop of which the complainant is the manageress, and called for three cups of tea, the prisoner Clowden tendering a £5 note in payment. Finding th e note was not a genuine one, the police w ere ca led, and the prisoners given into custody. Police-constab le Croome, 134 S, sa..d he took th e prisoners into custody, and when he told them the charge, the prisoner Clowden said he was a seaman, and had received the note in payment for his wages. The ship that he had been paid off from, he said, was the Shylo, Captain Doane, and was then lying in the Victoria Docks. He maden • guides at the dock, and found that the authorities l knew of no ship or captain of that name. Th prisoner Clow den, when searched, had upwards of £1 in gold and silver in his possession. Clowden had also given a false address. The prisoners, in defence, denied any guilty knowledge that the note was a forgery. Mr. Corry remanded the prisoners for a week, and in the meantime the Bank authorities will be communicated with. Bail was refused. SOU rHWARK.—STABBING A MAN IN THE EYE, AND BLINDING HIM-A vicious-looking female, named Catharine Cronin, who has frequently been in custody for committing savage assaults, was charged with maliciously stabbing James Whitting ton in the left eye, thereby depriving him of sight. The prosecutor, a labourer, whose left eye was bandaged up, said that on Tuesday morning, the 29th of March, he was in the Sugar Loaf public house, Dockhead, drinking some beer, when a man named Wybrow, who lived with the prisoner, came up to him and abused him. They had some words together, and went out to fight. After two or three rounds witness left off, and as he was speaking to Wybrow, the prisoner rushed at him like a tigress, seized him by the hair, and stabbed him in the left eye with something like a piece of wire. He called out for assistance, when the prisoner absconded, but a hair-pin, covered with blood, was picked up near where he was laying, and he believed that was the instrument she used. He was taken up, and con veyed in a short time to the South London Opthal mic Hospital, where he was received, and it was discovered that he had been deprived of the sight of the left eye. Mr. Burcham asked him whether he had any words with the prisoner previous to her attacking him. He replied that he had never spoken to her, and the attack on him was so sudden that he had not an opportunity of seeing what she had in her hand. Mary Ann Pearce, the wife of a woodchopper, said she was passing the Sugar Loaf about eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning, the 29th of March, when she saw the two men fighting in the street.. After two or three rounds they left off and shook hands together, and while doing so the prisoner rushed up and seized the prosecutor by the hair. She then took a hair•pin from her head, and stuck it into his left eye. He called out, ".Oh, my God, she has stabbed me in the eye," and then the pri soner ran off. Witness went for assistance, and on her return she picked up a hair-pin covered with blood. Mr. Burcham asked what she knew of prisoner ? She replied that she was unacquainted with her. She, however, knew the prosecutor, as he lived next door to her. Patrick Ahern, 31 M, said he apprehended the priioner on a warrant on Saturday night last. He knew her to be a very bad character, and living with a man named Wibrow. Witness had been to the hospital that morning, and received the follow ing certificate :-- " South London Ophthalmic Hospital, May 9, 1859. " This is to certify- that James Whittington has lost the sight of his left eye, in consequence of a punctured wound which has injured the lens.—C. HOTHOUSE, Surgeon." In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she never touched the prosecutor at all, and all that the witnesses had sworn to was false. Mr. Burcham remanded her for the attendance of the surgeon. THAMES.—DOG-STEALING—SINGULAR CASE. Daniel Neale, aged 30, an Irish coalwhipper, of Fox and Goose-yard, Shadwell, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a Newfoundland dog, value £25. Mr. Thomas Young, coal agent, and landlord of the Ship and Royal Oak, Wapping-wall, said he was lately possessed of a very fine Newfoundland dog, which he brought up from a pup. It was now about 18 months old. He was offered £l9 for it one day in New Gravel-lane, Shadwell, and refused it. The prisoner, who acted in concert with an other Irishman, named O'Brian, decoyed the dog away from its home and sold it to a gentleman in Lombard-street fnr £5 55., and ls. beer money. O'Brian absconded with the money obtained for the dog, and Neale came to him and complained he was cheated. The dog was stolen on Friday. On that day he was in the City. The prisbner made a long defence, and with very considerable earnestness declared that what Mr. Young said was all false, and that he and O'Brian had permission to sell the dog. They were three days in the City with the animal, and the largest offer made was five guineas. On communicating with Mr. Young he said he would not take so small a sum for the dog, but Mrs. Young said she wanted to get rid of the beast, which was a nuisance in her house, and they were to take any sum for it. The prisoner then entered into various particulars, and said that one day he received a penny for the dog's dinner and a half-penny for its tea, that he went down to King James's-stairs, Wapping-wall, to wash the dog in the river on Thursday morning, and that Mr. Young said the dog would sell better when it was wet. Mr. Young denied generally that he had given permission to the prisoner and O'Brian to sell the dog. The prisoner —Yes, you told O'Brian not to take less than £8 for the dog, and Mrs. Young said, " Never mind him, get what you can for it." Mr. A. T. Hay, clerk to Mr. Benson, of No. 80, Lombard-street, said he knew that his employer bought a Newfoundland dog, and that the prisoner and another man came to Mr. Benson's shop and received five guineas for the animal, and a shilling for beer. He took the dog to the Hamburg steamer in the river on Friday as a present to a gentleman. Mr. Selfe—ls Mr. Benson here ? Witness—No, Sir; he is in Sheffield. The prisoner said that O'Brian was drinking away the money he received for the dog with his mates, and when he had done drinking he had no doubt he would turn up and come forward, and prove that permission was given to sell the dog. Mr. Young said it was not likely he would con sent to his dog being sold for five guineas, when he had previously refused £l9 for it. Mr. Selfe was induced to think the prisoner and O'Brian had been authorised to sell the dog, and that O'Brian had played off a scurvy trick upon Mr. Young by keeping the money. Mr. Young said it was not likely he would authorise O'Brian to sell the dog, because that per son had kept the money. Mr. Safe could not see the force of that reasoning at all. It was most likely O'Brian had sold the dog with the permission of the owner, and had appro priated the money to his own use. If that was so O'Brian could not be prosecuted criminally, but he could be sued for the money in the County Court of the district. He should adjourn the case until Tuesday, the 17th inst., and he would allow the prisoner to go at large on his entering into his own recognisance in the sum of £lO to appear on that day. The prisoner —I will be here and bring O'Brian with me. Mr. Selfe—You had better de so. GREENWICH.—ATTEMPTED munDEn. OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.—SamueI Newbury, 35, described on the police-sheet as a gentleman, of 1, Content Cottages, Shooter's. hill-road, Greenwich, was placed in the dock before Mr. Traill, charged with cutting and wounding his wife, Mary Charlotte Newbury, by stabbing her in the neck with a knife. Mr. Downey, solicitcr, appeared for the prisoner. George Mantle said he was servant to Mr. Williams, a gentleman residing at Charlton Villas, Shooter's-hill-road. About ten o'clock on Saturday night witness was fastening up his master's premises, when he heard a female screaming. He went in the direction whence the sounds proceeded, aid was met by a young woman, who came running along, and said " For God's sake go to the protection of my mistress, for master is going to murder her." Witness hastened to the spot, and then saw the prisoner struggling with a female, who was holding on to a lamp post. The prisoner had a w hi te handled knife in his hand, and witness asked why they were not quiet, upon which the prisoner asked what it was to do with him. Witness then saw blood on the female's neck, the prisoner at the time dragging her by the wrist. He then laid hold of her by the fleshy part of the arm with his left hand, and drawing her towards him remarked, at the same time putting his right hand, in which he held the knife, round her neck, "Now I will butcher your head from your body." - Witness then closed with the prisoner, and he was secured and taken into custody. In reply to Mr. Downey, the witness said both the prisoner and the wife appeared to be under the influence of drink. Mr. Henry Tyser, surgeon, of Blackheath, said, he heard the disturbance, and on (=cling to the spot saw the pris oner an d h i s wife and Going last witness all lying cn the ground. Witness saw the prisoner with a knife in his hand, and observed him strike at her with it in the direction of the face or bosom. Witness seized hold of the prisoner, and afterwards gave him into custody. Witness had since examined the prisoner's wife, and found a superficial wound on the neck, two inches in length. There was also a slight wound under the neck, and another wound on the nose, the latter occasioned by the falling down.. . . . Mr. Traill_ inquired if the witness could say what state the prisoner and his wife were in ? My Tyser said, they were both under the influ ence of liqacir. • Inspector Nimmo, R division, here produced a sharp-pointed dinner-knife, with a white handle, which had been taken from the prisoner. Louisa Lewis, a young woman, said said she was servant to the prisoner, During the whole of the week, and also on Saturday, her master had been much annoyed by her mistress, who went out to dinner at her sister's in the evening. Her master dined at home, and shortly before ten o'clock, hav ing been lying down in his bedroom, he got up, saying " I will get up and go and see if I can see your mistress, and just ask her one question." He then drank two glasses of rum and went out. Shortly afterwards her master wanted her mistress to come into the house and have some conversation, but she would not do so. Police -constable 248 R produced a cheese-knife found in the prisoner's coat pocket, and also a razor, picked up on the ground near where the assault was committed. The witness Lewis was here recalled, and said the prisoner had been using the cheese-knife to cut asparagus with. Witness could not identify the dinner knife produced, nor the razor, as belonging to her master. The wife of the prisoner, who appeared many years his senior, was then sworn ; but she declared she had no complaint to make. Mr. Traill said he shout d remand the prisoner for a week. Mr. Downey applied that the prisoner might be admitted to bail. Mr. Traill refused the application, and he was conveyed to gaol. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. MONDAY.
