DREADFUL ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE.
—Yesterday morning one of the most determined attempts
at murder and suicide (not immediately terminating
fatally) which has happened for sonic time took place at a
house No. 11, Devonshire-place, Broadway, Westminster.
An old man, named Martin White, aged (18 years, who is
an enrolled out-pensioner of Chelsea hospital, occupied the
front room on the second floor in the above house, where a
woman named Eliza Hurley, aged 30, formerly cohabited
with him ; but, on account of his brutal treatment of her,
she left him, and went to reside in the neighbourhood of
Soho. On Tuesday evening last she visited him again, and
remained all night. About a quarter to three o'clock yes-
terday morning Sergeant Buchanan, S B, whilst passing
down the street, suddenly heard piercing screams of 'Mur-
der, murder," and " Police," proceeding from the house
in question, and, on running hastily to the spot, met the
young woman Hurley at the street-door in hi r night-dress,
which was literally dripping with blood on the pavement.
She was in such an exhausted state that she could only
point up stairs, and utter a few incoherent articulations.
The sergeant immediately despatched her to the West-
minster Halide', and proceeded up stairs. After knocking
at the door several times, and receiving no answer, he burst
it open, when a dreadful scene presented itself. The Aor
of the room was covered with large patches of blood, and
the man White was lying across the bed copiously bleeding
from a wound in the throat, apparently but recently in
flirted. On recognising the police be motioned with his
hand under the bed, whereupon search being afterwards
made, a large black-handled razor, clotted with blood, and
the handle broken in pieces, was discovered. Sergeant
Buchanan immediately sent for Mr. Budd Painter, jun.,
surgeon, whose assistant soon arrived, when the bleeding
was staunched, and the wounded man conveyed in custody '
to the Westminster Hospital, where he still remains under
the surveillance of the police, with little hope of
recovery. Upon the examination of the female by
Mr. Halford, the house surgeon, she was found
to be dreadfully cut about the neck, face, and
arms. Her hands were also very severely lace-
rated. Alter the wounds bad been dressed she was
placed in bed, and, having rallied a little, she
stated that White Originated a quarrel with her rela-
tive to her having left ham, and, she replying to his epithets,
he got out of bed and, taking the razor off a shelf, swore
she should not do itagain. Seeing the blade glittering in
his hand, and knowing his desperate character, she jumped
out of bed to get away from bins, when a terrible struggle
took place, White holding her by the hair of the head and
aiming the cuts of the razor at her throat, in defending
which her neck and arms were dreadfully gashed. He
also tried to cut her fingers away, but being the stronger
she was able to save herself, until the noise of the police
running along the street alarmed him, and she was provi-
dentially enabled to get out of the room down stairs, where
she was met by Sergeant Buchanan and the constables, as
already deseeibed. White was at the review of the pen-
sioners in Hyd.-park on last Wednesday week, and his
accoutrements, which should have been given into store at
Chelsea Hospital yesterday, were lying about the room in
all directions, covered with the blood of his intended vie-
tim. The police have locked up the place in its present eon-
ditioo,lest farther events should require its inspection, as the
woman Hurley is in a very low and dangerous state.
LIFE AND DEATH IN A WAGGON.—Yeaterdny
afternoon Mr. W. Carter held an inquest at the Cottage of
Content Tavern, Lock's-fields, Walworth, on the body of
Sarah 13ygraves, aged five weeks. The mother stated that
her husband was a mat-maker and hawker. They had
lived in a caravan now standing in a cow yard, in Luck's-
fields, about five years, and had four children, paying,
when able, ls. 6d. weekly for rent to the owner of the ve-
hicle, which had no wheels. Their chief food was dry
bread and tea, with meat occasionally on Sundays. On
Monday night the deceased was placed b her side iu bed,
apparently
.rin good health, and when she awoke on the
next morning the deceased was lying quite insensible by
her side. A boy ran for a surgeon, but the deceased ex-
pired in a fit before medical assistance could be
procured. The summoning officer informed the co-
-1 roner that a child belonging to the same parents
died in the caravan eleven months since. The
coroner proceeded to view the body and on reaching the
plate referred to they found the remains of an old broken-
down caravan. The door at the front had been blocked
up, but the entrance was an opening of about 12 inches
wide, and three feet in height ; but the aperture was so ex-
ceedingly low and small that several of the robust jurymen
had considerable difficulty in squeezing through the open-
ing to see the corpse, and the interior was se small that only
one person could stand in it with the constable. The floor-
ing boards had been removed, and nothing but the bare
rafters were placed on the ground fur the unfortunate occu-
pants to lie down on. The rain also made its way through
the roof, and many portions of the woodwork in the upper
part had fallen down from decay. The coroner remarked
that he never saw such a wretched hovel. lie was only
astonished to think how human beings could exist in such
an ill-ventilated and fearful place. '1 he whole of the jury
said the attention of the parochial officers ought to be
directed to the spot, for the residence of the poor persons
was not even fit for swine. The jury found a verdict of
"Natural Death." The coroner thereupon gave the officer
directions to lay a complaint at the office of Mr. Porter, the
district surveyor, who had power to indict the owner of the
caravan

ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE BY SOLDIERS.—CHATRAM,
JUNG 9.—Yesterday 0. MeDermot and John nucleon,
private soldiers belonging to the 69th Regiment, quartered
in Brampton-barracks, were committed for trial by the
Rochester bench of magistrates—the former charged with
criminally assaulting Elizabeth Schnebbelic, and the latter
with siding him in the outrage. The occurrence took place
at a late hour on Saturday night, on a public road near the
barracks, and the prisoners were shown to have acted with
brutal violence towards the unfortunate prceecutrix.
