outrage:—Charles Potter, poliee-oonstable 240 K, said that
last night his attention was attracted by a great crowd col-
lected outside the doors of a Rupee, named Croucher, re-
aiding in Shadwell. On going to the spot he wu told that a
man had been nearly killed, and entering the surgery, he
found a man named James How in a este of insensibility,
bleeding profusely from several very severe wounds in his
head, and Dr. Croucher considered him in such a dangerous
condition, that, without any delay, he' was conveyed to the
London Hospital. On making inquiries be was told the
prisoner had caused the injuries, and apprehended her in a
house in Elbow-lane, near the docks. The house was a no-
torious brothel. When he apprehended the prisoner she was
concealed between two beds. The constable produced the
tummies of a thick shovel, the instrument with which the
I deadly blows had been inflicted. Some of the poor fellow's
heir still adhered to it. Potter added that the man James
How's life was despaired of. He had two witnesses who saw
the affray.—Mr. Ballantine directed him immediately, se-
, companied by another constable sad the prisoner, to proceed
to the London Hospital, and in the presence of the prisoner,
to take down an statement the man How might make, se
y this, should the fatal result anticipated occur, would prove of
the utmost importance.
