ATTEMPTED MORDER_AIID SUICIDE.

NORWICH, WiffpflßDAT:

Full particulars have been receive,' to-day at the
chief office of the Norfolk comity polioa, of a shockier affair
which occurred on Monday at North Lopham, mar Her-
line, and which has created moms excitement in the dis-
trict. It appears that a cloth hawker, named Richard
Roberts, who has for some time resided at Loplutm, has
been for the past two years "keeping company" with Mins
Huai, a young woman living in the parish, who owns some
cottage property of the value of about 20/. per annum.
Their wedding has been repeatedly arranged to take place,
but it has been postponed from time to time, for remelts
which itre not geneially known, except that Roberta has
been in pecuniary difficulties. Them misfortunes and the
fact that a rival local suitor had appeared for the hand of
the young woman seem to have preyed upon his mind
and from a few broken senteecesgwhich the injured girl
has been able to articulate to her attendants, Rhea tram-
pired that on Monday morning at a very early hour he
called hemp, having come down by mail train from Loudon.
She let him into her house, and he took a chair in the
front room of the cottage, the returning to the bed in
which she had been sleeping with another female. About
3 o'clock both the women dot up and went downstairs,
where they found Roberts stall in the front room reading a
book. Hunt proceeded to prepare breakfast ; and the other
female having left the house, the parties sat down to
breakfast together. Suddenly— according to the young
womar's statement—without using any angry ex •
Roberts seized her violently, threw her down, kue t °ghee,
and cut her throat. She screamed loudly, and a neighbour,
named Huggins, living under the same roof, rushed
in to her assistance ; but the injuries which she
bad sustained were so serious that she soon lost all con-
sciousness. When Huggins and the other persons who had
collected began to recover from their alarm, they found
that Roberts was standing in the room, also severely
wounded and bleeding profusely. He ran upstairs, sod
being pursued, was found crouching under a bed with a
knife in hie hand, and in an insensible state. The circum-
stances were at once reported to Mr. Cornell, one of the
local magistrates, who issued a warrant for the apprehension
