GREENWICH.

Robert nom' Moore, a very respectably dressed man,
aged 40, residing at No. 2, Lucas-street, Newtown, Dept-
ford, for many years foreman of the caulkers in her Ma.
Nty's Dockyard, Deptford, was charged by police-sergeant
eale, of the It division, with cutting and wounding Mary
Ana Moore, his wife, with intent to murder her, and from
whew evidence it appeared that while on duty at the station
at 12 o'clock the prisoner came to the station, and said he
had come to give himself up for murder. Upon being asked
whom he had murdered, he said his wife. That she was
standing reading • book, when he took • shell from the
mantelpiece and struck her on the back of the head, which
stunned her; that he then seized hold of the poker awl
beat her several times on the head with it, breaking the
poker in doing so. On receiving the dreadful information
he (witness) sent into the police court for Inspector Mark,
who was attending the magistrate with the night charges,
and to whom he communicated the facts. The witness
then proceeded to the prisoner's house by order of the in-
saittor, taking with him Dr. Cowcher, of Florenee-place,
Mr. Kingston Mark, inspector of police, deposed that
from information given him by the last witness, he went to
No. 2, Lucea-street, Deptford, and there found the wife of
the prisoner with her head most fearfully cut and com-
pletely saturated with blood, and in a corner of the room
where she had lain was also a pool of blood.
Mr. Cowcher, being sworn, stated that he had just left
the unfortunate woman. He found her jaws broken in several
places, and her head and face covered with deep wounds.
There was a lacerated wound of three inches on the left
temple; one on the nose two inches •, one of three inches
on the lett cheek ; the lower haw bone broken in several
pieces; the back of the heed with cuts from three inches to
one in length ; in fact, she was one entire mass of bruises and
cuts. The left side of the neck also was very extensively in-
jured. He dressed her wounds, and then left her in •
state of insensibility, in the care of • nurse and other per-
sons. Witness considered there was little or no hope of
her recovery. The wounds were inflicted with • large
shell and • poker.
Mr. Seeker (the magistrate) remanded the prisoner, in-
timating that the unhappy woman should be constantly
under medical inspection, and that, should she rally so as
to be able to make any declaration, the police might
prom inform him of the fact, when he would accompany
ptly
the ck for that purpose.—The prisoner has since stated
the deed was done under temporary excitement.
