THE ATTEMPTED PARRICIDE AT CHISWICK.
Y, A. Bfredignelf, 28, described se e Mariner, wee in-
dicted for feloniously 'booting at Juke Passau Madames,
with intent to murder hiss.
In °titer events his intent was laid to be to do grievous
Mr.
harm.
Mr. Bodkia prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantime defended the
prisoner.
The learned counsel for the prosecntice having briefly
opened the case, the following evidence wee adduced.
Wm. Anderton deposed that be wes a cab driver, sad on
the 4th of October he was engaged by the prisoner, in the
Minorite, to go to Chiswick, and witness agreed to take him
there for 14s. At this time the prisoner appeared as though
he had been drinking, and before they started they had
some liquor together. On the road to Chiswick they stopped
at several public-tou
ex rs, and witneis end
prisoner bad
drink at all of them,except the Black Lion,which was the
list house they stopped at. When they arrived at Chiswick
the prisoner directed him to stop at the hoses of the prow
tutor.

afterwards witness beard the report of fire-erma, gni Ilk
a minute or two the prisoner swaggered out of the gate sad
mounted the box of the cab, and told him to go to the top of
the lane. Whams a skid him about the report of the fire-
arms, and he said it was not there. lie then pulled up at a
public-house and demanded his fare, and the prisoner said
that if he drove hbn to the Bell, at Ealing, he would give
him a sovereign, and witness agreed to do so ; end as nay
were going_slong the prisoner rolled about a good deal, and
witness- told him to mind that he did not fell off. When
they arrived at the Bell the prisoner invited him to drish
again, and they both had a glue of brandy. The prisoner
then wished bun to drive him to his brother's town, which
he said was up a late close by, and he drove according to his
direction, and they rug the bell at one of the houses in the
lane, bat received no answer, and witness drove bark again
to the Bell, where the prisoner asked the landlord to give
him a sovereiga, but he refused, and at this time a poliom
man came up and the prisoner was gives into custody.
By Mr. Ballantine—When he first saw the prisoner be
appeared to have been drinking, and rolled about. They
stopped at a great number of public-houses on the road Se
Chiswick, and the prisoner drank all sorts of liquors—ale,
rum, gin, and brandy ; but he did not observe that the
liquor had any particular effect upon him. Witness was not
at all the worse for liquor himself. He might have been a
little fresh, but was certainly not so drunk as the prisoner.
El'xaboth Baynes, servant to the prose cuter, coisfinned the
',idea°, of the last witne with regard to the conduct of the
prisoner in rushing put her towards the house, and said that
as be past her he exclaimed, " I am a Monkhouse, and I'll
speak to him." She looked towards the house, and saw the
prisoner standing in front of her muter, who was on the
hall-steps, and at the same moment she saw a flash, and
heard the report of a pistol, and just es her muter wee fall-
ing there was a second report. The prisoner wee standing
close by the prosecutor at this time, and after he had fired he
turned round and came towards her, and es he passed her
he said, " There," and he went away, and she saw no more
of him. The prosecutor at this time was crawling upon his
hands and knees towards the footpath.
Mr. J. F. Mookhouse said—The prisoner is my second
son. I have five children by a first marriage, and one by
second. I remember a ringing at the bell of my house on
the night of the 4th October, and after my servant had
brought me a message, the prisoner rushed up to me and
shot me. Not Is word pueed between us before it hap-
pened. I heard the reports, but I did not see the weapons
which he shot at me. One of the shots took effect in my
throat, and I fell to the ground almost immediately. I did
not hear the prisoner say anything except that he was a
blockhouse. I had seen the prisoner about a week before,
whin he cams to my house, when I told his he should not
remain there. We were not exactly upon good terms. The pri-
soner is a sailor, in the merchant service. I myself have served
in the royal navy, but left it in 1816. Toe prisoner was first
apprenticed to the sea. He is now 28 years of age.
By Mr. Ballantine.—The prisoner's mother died in 1831,
and I believe the disease of which she died was brain fever.
Fear others of hi r children beside the prisoner were alive
when she died. The prisoner was bound apprentice to learn
the sea, but I don't know what they made of him. Since he
has been out of his apprenticeship, I believe the prisoner has
been to sea as a common sailor. 1 don't know when the
prisoner went upon his last voyage. He was away a year
and a half. I was never a common sailor myself. Before
he wee apprenticed the prisoner was at a young pentleman's
school at liammersmitb. His mother was • gentlewoman,
but I believe she had not any fortune. Upon the occasion 1
have referred to, the prisoner wanted to sleep at my house,
and for certain reasons I refused to allow him.
By the Court.—The reason I refused to allow him to sleep
was, that I thought he ought to have rent me an apology for
his conduct pprrior to his going to sea the last time.
By Mr. Bodkin—The prisoner wu between 16 and 17
when he was apprenticed. My first wife had only a small
fortune. 1 derive the property lam now poseessed of from
my grandfather.
Henry Reason, a police constable, depowel to apprehend-
ing the prisoner at the Bell, at Ealing, about twelve o'clock
at night on the 4th of October. Wither asked him if his
name was Mookhouse, and he said it was not. lie then
told him he suspected he was the won he wanted, and he
must take him to the station-house. lie was then taken to
the police station. lie appeared to have been drinking a
great deal. When he sou sunned a pistol, with the barrel
separate from the stock, several bullets, which fitted the
pistol, and a small quantity of gunpowder and some percus-
sion cape, were found upon him. On the Sunday following
witness went to Ealing and received another pistol and some
guspowder from the landlord of the Bell. They were
fellow-pistols, and both had percussion lochs. As he was
taking the prisoner to the station house, he said that if he
had a pistol he would blow his brains out.
Mr. Williams, the landlord of the Bell, deposed that
when the prisoner came to his house on the night in question
he produced two pistols, and laid them on the table with
some gunpowder, and witness took them up and put them
in a drawer. lie afterwards saw one of the pistols in the
prisoner's hand, and directly afterwards he was taken into
custody. Witness subsequently delivered the secoed pieta
to the officer.
By Mr. Ballantine.—The prisoner appeared to be very
much excited, and walked wildly about the room.
Mr. T. W. Perfect, a surgeon, residing at Hammersmith,
deposed that be was culled upon to attend the prosecutor on
the night of the 4th of October. He wassuffering from the
effects of a gunshot wound, faint and trembling, and he
expected he would die almost immediately. Mrs. Monkhouee
and the servant were holding a base's to his mouth, from
I which a quantity of blood issued. lie undid the collar of his
shirt, and found a gun-shot wound, with a large blackened
surface, upon the throat. The:hall appetred to have entered
immediately in front of the neck, and the stifiening of the
stock appeared to base bed the effect of divetting its course
in' o the cavity of the throat, and then upwards, when it must
have touched the base of the skull, or some other hard sub-
stance in the head, which drove it downward, and it made
its exit at the back of the neck, close to the collar-bone. It
was a most dangerous wound, and witness did not expect the
prolocutor would have lived th • night out. Witness disco-
vered the ball in the posterior opening, and he produced it ;
and he said, from the appearance of the wound, he was oi
opinion that the pistol could not have been discharged at a
greater distance than two feet from the prosecutor.
Mr. Belford, the regular medical a ti ndent of the family,
gave similar testimony, and also stated that the prosecu or
was now yerfectly recovered, except in a slight measure in
his voice, from the effects of the wound.
By Mr. Ballantine—Fiteen years ago witness attended the
prisoner for delirium tremens.
This was the case for the posecuiion.
Mr. Ballantine th. n addressed the jury for the defence,
and suit that although he did not expect to obtain an ac-
quittal for the prisoner, he trusted that after the jury had
heard the evidence he should lay before them they would
be of opinion that the prisoner ought not to be convicted
noon those counts et the indictment which imputed to
him the felonous intention of murdering the
prosecutor, or of doing him grievous bodily hum,
and that they would say that in the drunken ewe in
which be was at the time, he did not know what
he woe about, and that the violence be bed co-nmitted only
a-rourded to an smolt. He was perfectly well aware that
drunkenness was no excuse or MIMI r for the commission of
a crime, but it had been Isi i down by Mr. Jostler Pa•teson
that it was an important ingredient in a as where the intent
of a party was the question to be aseertened, becaus- it
might happen that the if et of the drink er os to depriveable the
party of all mind whatev• r, and render him incap of
forming any intention whatever. This was the ground upon
which he should ask the jury to acquit t e prig tati of the
felony, and when they looked at ell the fact. of the case he
believed they would come to the conclusion that tee act cons-
mi'ted by the prisoner only &minted to an assault.
Several witnesses were then examined, who spoke to the
fact of the prisoner having been in a drunken and violent
state the whole of the day of the occurresoe, and it eras
also shown that he had presented a pistol at two or three
of the witnesses, and that he appeared unconscious of what

BOW STREET.
DEATH TROY VIOLENCE —Catherine Edwards was
charged with having caused the death of Mary Wall.
Mary Ann Audrey said, about 12 o'clock in the night of
the 2nd inst., I was sitting in my room in Nottingham-
court, and heard the prisoner say to the deceased woman,
who was my landlady, " Go and pay the king's sexes, or all
your lodgers will be distratned upon." The deceased woman
answered—" Go and pay the score at the public.house."
Upon this the prisoner ran into her own house, and brought
a suck, with which she struck the other a violent blow on
the temple. Mrs. Well then fell to the ground. Some per-
ilous carried her to a surgeon's, and afterwards to King's
College Hospital. The wound was dream& and the patient
was assisted home. She took to her bed, and was obliged to
be taken back to the hospital, and died this morning.
Alfred Stevenson could swear that the prisoner had the
stick in her hand before the provocation was given.
Mr. Henry sail this evidence contradicted that of the
former witness.
Witntsa-1 saw it distinctly. The blow was given not as
hard as she could strike. The prisoner's husband took
the stick out of his wife's hand and rushed into Mrs.
house and dragged out her son, a young man, by the hair of
his head. The young man was brought te this ceurt, and is
now in prison for an assault.
Wright, 312 A.-1 was on duty in Soho-street last
Saturday night fortnight. I went to Nottingham court,
hearing a noise. I persuaded thetwn of deceased, whom I
foundshnok, to go in, but he seiif " I have a stick as well as
you." I pacified him a little and went away. Presently
I heard a scream, and found a I rewer, husband, of the pri.
toner, holding the son of diseased, who he said had struck
his wife, the prisoner. Mrs. Edward., now at the her,
showed me a red mark, which she said was owing to his
violence. I found a stick, two or three feet long. I thought
they were making a bad u e of the stick so I threw it away
inside the gate of St. Paul's.
Mr. Henry.—lt is very strange dad nothing of all this
should have been said in c 'tort when Wall was brought up.
Isaac B ekett, 44, King-street, Ling.acre, said, lam assist-
ant o Mr. Guy, surgeon. The deceased woman was brought
in with a wound an the right temple. I saw it was a fracture
of the skull, and said it was a hospital case. I dressed the
wound and sent her off immediately. I said at the time it
would be the death of the woman.

EAST INDIA COMPANY.
(THIS DAY.)

The quarterly general meeting of the above com-
pany was held this day at *taut India House, Ludenhall-
street, Mer Chasm' Galloway in the chair
Tt: C AlikkiAN having =fly opened the proceedings,
Mr. SULLIVAN rose to move the following resolution :
"That espies of all correspondence relative to a court-
martial held on the 16th of September, 1844, on certain
Sepoys of the 6th Madras Cavalry be laid before this court,
and copies of all opinions given by law officers on the sub-
ject."
U. said he was of opinion that the proceedings of the court
martial bad been illegal, and the noble lord who had oon- gg,„
ducted it had stated that it was with the authority
of the Hoard of Directors of the Company, and N
he therefore moved the violation to ascertain whether such ai
was the ease, because if it was with the concurrence
of the board, the blame mast be attached to them, "
sad taken from the noble lord, as he thought u
blame attached to some one, because it was stated the men
had been tried for taking illegal oaths, while no clans, in
the laws i f the company made such a thing an offence, par- 1:11
ticularle one to merit death.
Mr. LEAVEN, in a long speech, seconded the resolution. gp
A keg dismays ensued, in which sevetil proprietors ■
and the noble chairman took part, the latter being entirely me
opposed to each a eeriest question being discussed in such ~,,
en assembly as the present one, as the discipline of the a.
Indian army wet too precious to be exposed.
(Haar. hear.) He concluded a long speech by reading to
the opinion of the late Attorney-general on the subject, to
which fully qualified the proceedings which had take& piece. is
