ATTIDIPT To Mt RDER • WIFE. —Tester hy, at
the Leeds Tows-tall, a man named Anthony Rayner, about
50 years of age, was examined on a charge of attenuating be
murder his wife. Baia Rayner. The prisoner is a hawker
of rase and bones, but for a long time poet he had earned
nothing, and has been supported by his wife, who is ea
honest, in.luntrions woman, and was a sorter in a rag wane.
house. They bad been married about ten years, and lived
in Holmes's.yard, Yorkatreet, Leeds. Latterly Rayner's
conduct towards his wife ha. been very brutal, and he has
accused her of unfeitlifulurse, for which accusation, however,
the ee seems to have been no ground. On the eemo., of the
27th alt, while they were in bed, the prisoner stabbed his
wife with a knife, and also seised a razor, with which he
attacked her. She struggled as well as she could, rasa*

was aroused I y the noise. he prisoner afterwards made
a determined attempt to cut his own throat, but the
razor which he used—the one with which he attacked his
wife—was very blunt, and the wound he inflicted did
not affect any vital pert. The wife received several wounds
about the head and fare, and a severe cut across the
palm of the left bend ; but, fortunately, her inist•ies did
not prove fatal, and she will soon be aufficiently.recovered
to leave the infirmary. From the expressions the primmer
made use of when takes into custody, there is no doubt he
intended to murdor his wife. He had two razor. in his hat,
which was on a chair in the bedroom. Otte of the room

hold of the wrong one in mistake. But for this aceidentall
cireurostauce, probably, neither party would now have beat
