SHOEEI NO OCEURRENEE.—For several hours on Friday
evening the utmost anxiety and consternation was manifested by
the inbabitanta of Hatfield-street, Goswell-street, in conse-
quence of the recurrence of one of those melancholy events
which frequeutly arise out of intoxication. About six o'clock the
neighbours were alarmed by be most dreadful shrieks, and cries
of "Murder !" in a female voice, which proceeded from the first ,
floor of No. 2S, which was known to be occupied by a man and his
wife, named Owen, from the latter of whom it was soon ascertained
that the still-continued screams and prayers for mercy came. Every
effort to obtain admission at the door was ineffectual, and the ap-
parent continuance of the violence induced some of the neighbours
to attempt to gain it by one of the windows, which stood open. A
ladder was accordingly procured, and mounted by a young man
named Reynolds, who, on reaching the window, saw the miserable
woman lying on the floor covered with blood, and still pleading for
mercy. Before he could make a footing in the room, Owen dragged
his wife to the door, which he had previously unfastened, and turn.
bled her headlong down stairs into the passage, where she was
taken up in a state of insensibility, and medical assistance sent for.
The fury of Owen still continued, he threatening destruction on all
around him, and particularly on Reynolds, foe hie interference,
until it was thought necessary to send for an officer, and give him
into charge. On the arrival of the constable he retreated into his
apartment. and, before there was time to secure him, had inflicted a
severe wound in his throat with a clasp-knife, which, however, is
not likely to prove fatal. In the fall down stairs the poor woman
hod her collar-bone broken, but beyond that sustained no serious
injury. The circumstances which led to this unfortunate occur-
rence are said to be as follows :—Owen had left home after break.
fast, with some shopmates, on a promise of, returning at one I
o'clock to dinner, which he did ; but, to his surprise, court neither
find that nor his wife, nor any preparation for such a meal. After
waiting a considerable time, he went in search of her, but was un-1
succcutful. and again reached home just before six, somewhat the
worse for liquor. Ilia wile had returned in the interim, and was
rely much intoxicated, but had partially recovered hereon'. Words
ensued, and the unfortunate meta have been elated about
