WORSHIP-STREET.—Arrsurren MURDER.— Thos.
Smith, a hawker, was charged with attempting to strangle
Mary Montgomery, and also si ith feloniously cutting and
wounding her mother, whereby her life was seriously en
dangered. The younger complainant, who exhibited an
extensive discolouration of the throat, stated that she
had been living with the prisoner as his wife for the last
eight months, and bad suffered the most brutal ill-treatment
at his hands during nearly the whole of that period. Cu
the preceding afternoon he came home intoxicated, and alter
beating her in an unmerciful manner and saying that he
would murder her, he forced her down upon the bed and
pining a thick cord round her neck compressed it till she
was on the point of strangulation. Cn hearing her cries
her mother ran in to her assistance, but the moment she en-
tered the prisoner snatched a knife from the table, rushed
towards her and made a desperate blow at her head.
She staggered back into the yard, bleeding profusely
from a gash above the temple, but was saved from
&Wag by some of the neighbours, who conveyed her to a
surgeon's, where the wound wan dressed, and she was after-
wards removed to the hospital. A certificate was put in
from the house-surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, de-
scribing the serious nature of the woman's injuries, which
precluded the possibility of her attendance.—ln answer to
the charge, the prisoner said that he acted under strong pro-
vocation, but admitted that he had been drinking to excess,
and scarcely recollected anything that had taken place.—
Mr. Arnold ordered the prisoner to be remanded till the
wounded woman was in a fit state to appear against him.
BOW-STREET.— ASSAULT. - A young man, named
John Gillta, clerk to Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, bankers,
was charged with using insulting and disgraceful language
to Mr. C. Blunt, a civil engineer, on Monday last. The
complainant, accompanied by a lady, was entering the
National Gallery, when the defendant assailed him in dis-
gusting terms, and declared he would "expose" him
wherever he went. The former, leaving his lady, then in-
flicted personal chastisement oa e latter, and gave him into
custody, but did not press fur any further punishment. —The
defendant wished to explain the provocation he had received,
but was prevented by his worship. He expressed his wil-
lingneu to apologise.—Mr. Hall lectured the defendant ee-
-1 vete!), on his unjustifiable and disgraceful conduct in a public
place, and required him to enter into his own recognizances
for 501, to keep the peace for six months.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Auatorn ROBBERY Br
A Curstnr.—George Dickens, a chemist, was re-examined
charged with having stolen bank notes and gold of the value
of 651., the property of Mr. Ferdinand Arundel.—The pri-
soner and prosecutor lodged in the same house in Great
Titchfleld-street. The prosecutor received a sum of money
from Bristol, which he placed in a carpet-bag in his apart-
ments, which, during his absence, were entered, the lock
of the bag forced open, and the money taken away.
The prisoner left his lodgings suddenly, and at the time was
in &ITEer for rent. lle was traced to have left a BUM of
money in notes and gold at the house of a publican in High-
street, which sum he afterwards thew out of the publican's
hands. The explanation of the prisoner was that his father-
in.law had sent him recently a sum of upward,' of 301, and
that was the money which had been left in the hands of the
publican.—The prisoner's father-in-law was called, and said
he had sent some bank notes and other money to the pri-
soner. This witness gave such contradictory accounts of the cir-
cumstances, that Mr. Bingham said he did not believe a word
of his evidence, and therefore the defence fell to the ground.
Mr. Robinson said he wished for further time to make in-'
quiry as to whether Mr. Arundel ever had the sum of money
stated to be lost in his possession, as he considered there was
reason to doubt it.—Mr. Bingham consented to give the
prisoner till Thursday next to make the requisite inquiries.
—A second charge was brought forward.—Mr. E. Taylor,
surgeon, Clapham.common, said the prisoner was in kis
employ at the commencement of the present year. Seeing
in the morning newspapers the particulars of the prisoner's
apprehension, he recollected that in January last be missed
a cheque for 111. 18s. ; and witness had subsequently ascer-
tained that the prisoner had cashed the cheque at a trades-
man's shop in Clapham.—The prisoner was ordered to be
brought up again on Thunday on this charge also.
CLE(KEN WELL —Sena I.lVo.—John Brown, a watch-
maker, in the Caledonian-road, was charged with stealing
seven pounds of bacon from the shop of Mr. George
Pummett, cheesemonger, Penton-street, Pentonville. It
appeared that the prisoner was pax* the prosecutor's
shop, when he was observed to take a piece of bacon from
' the window board, by the prosecutor, who immediately
pursued him, and raised the cry of "Stop thief," when
the prisoner was taken into custody by a policeman. The
prisoner stated who he was, that he was a most respectable
person, and that he must have committed the act while in a
state of infatuation. He had plenty of money about him,
and bad not the slightest inducement to commit a theft, as he
was is independent circumstances. Waddington, the gaoler,
confirmed the prisoner's assertion as to his respectability.
He had known tam for many years, and a more respectable
man, or one more skilful or esteemed in his business, he did
not know. Mr. Comae said the evidence was no direct and
conclusive that he had no other course than to commit the
prisoner for trial. The prisoner was then committed to take
his trial for the felony, but Mr. Combo intimated that he
would take hail for his appearance.

his inspector or serjeant would not conduct himself in
such a manner. Ile threatened to lock them up; and
used very disgusting language.—Mr. Joseph Davis stated
that he witnessed the whole occurrence. He distinctl saw
the prisoner push against the females, and afterwards heard
him make use of the revolting expressions attributed to him.
This witness added, that some time prior to this, he had
heard Gorman threaten Mr. Bills and his family.—Mr. Yard-
