The prisoner, on Sunday, left his wife at No. 1, Archer-
mild went down to Charlton. About the evening al
Monde it is believed that be reached Chicken, end, Wing
the old iron= in bed, he roused her up sad wee let tato
the hones, sad sapper provided for him. With the knife

Amgen was the means of saving the old woreaa's life by
leeeldeilse Swale of the blows aimed at the bead. The

mime have upstairs with him at same
et be took the knife. The helm had been ransacked,
and • amenity
_of portable articles had evidently been takes
away. The old women, though so dreadfully injured, was
not dead, and medical amistanes was immediately sum-
moned. Prom agenda information that was obtained the

to difiment parts end to London, where the prisoner wee

ploy as a waiter at the Manchester Art Exhibition, it was
conjectured that part of this property bad been stolen from
the Exhibitioa. -No time was lost is telegraphing to Man-
chester, but the reply had not arrived when the court dosed.
In the prisoner's posse lion were some duplicates which IN
supposed to relate to property stolen from Mrs. Rastas
house. The latest information states that the old lady may
possibly survive the violence she has sustained, but that it is

mon atrocious.
