Yardley, charged with cutting his wife's throat at No. 3,

taken in a very painful manner immediately after the
occurrence on Monday morning last, when she was not ex-
pected to survive the injury she had received. Sbe has
sines been recovering. A medical certificate was now given
in, that the chief drawback to her recovery was spasmodic
attacks of coughing. "The wound is granulising healthily,
but at present has no tendency to sloes. She still breathes
entirely through the wound in the front part of, her Deck.
She miscarried on Saturday night at 11.45 with a small
child, dead. She is doing well, and we hope in a few days
to report her to be out of danger."
Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner for a week. A charge
of bigamy will be preferred against him, his first wife being
now alive.

WESTMINSTER.
Timothy Sullivan was charged with assaulting and rob-
bing Mrs. Sarah Marino!' under the following impudent
circumstances :
Prowecutrix, a respectable married woman, stated that on
Saturday night, at a quarter to 12 o'clock, she was in Sloane-
street with her husband and two friends, the latter of
whom were waiting for the omnibus to take them to Isling-
ton, when the prisoner came up and clutched her by the
throat.
Mr. Paynter—Hed you seen him before?
Promentrix—No? I saw nothing of him till he threw his
arms mead my sock.
Mr. Paynter—la what way did he do it
Prossostriz—He seised me by the neck and dog his fingers
=, having the marks of his nails. (Complaioant here
MOM scratches the result of the prisoner's violence.)
I serearned out, and my husband came and rescued me.
prisoner forcibly took the brooch, value It. 15.., out of
' toy shawl, and then tore the shawl off my back. A
niessber of men surrounded him so that he should not be
takes, sad celled me eery bed names.

John Hartnoll, 54, College-greet, Chelsea, foreman of
building works, said—This impudent attack occurred at the
top of Sloane-street, the Knightsbridge end, at a time when
the neighbourhood was thickly crowded. He did not see
the assault, but bearing his wife Sall&M, turned round, and
saw her, his friend, and the prisoner, all struggling together
in the gutter, upon which he went to their 'mistime.
Mr. Paynter inquired it the brooch had been found.
The police replied in the negative.
In answer to f urther inquiries from the magistrate,
cutor said the instant prisoner was apprehended he was sur-
rounded by his comrades, and had plenty of opportunity to
pass the brooch away. His companions abused his wife
most greenly, and one called out " She is only a
give it her, let her have it." He tried to seize this man,
but he got away.
William Woolrich confirmed a portion of the above
evidence.
John Downs, 94 B, said be was attracted to the spot by
Mn. Hartaoll's screams, and took the prisoner into custody.
He did not see the attack upon preeecutrur, but he was out
more than 40 or 50 yards elf at the time in uniform.
Mr. Paynter said these ruffians really seemed to bs
getting more daring, instead of being deterred by the heavy
sentences passed upon others of their class. Here was a
respectable woman, surrounded by her friends, gerotted and
robbed under the very eyes of the police, in one of the
busiest thoroughfares in London at that time on Saturday
night.
The worthy magistrate remanded the prisoner for a week.
A respectable looking man here 'stepped forward and
asked that the accused might be admitted to boil, as ho
could give him a good character.
Mr. Paynter said certainly not. He wondered anyone
could come forward and have the impudence to ask such a
thing.
