A SAD STORY. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. - Charlotte
Hehl, a married woman, about 50 years of age, residing at
21, Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, was charged before
Mr. Ty rwhitt with attempting to destroy her life.
George Hell, an old man, the husband, who said he was
a music engraver, stated that on the previous day his wife
attempted to hang herself to the bed post. She had secured
the rope to the bedpost, than fastened it round her neck,
and jumped off the bedstead, and but for his promptly cut-
ting the rope she would have been strangled.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the husband whether she had ever
attempted such a thing before ?
The husband said she attempted a similar thing about
twelve months ago, when she was brought before the ma-
gistrate at this court, who advised him to take her home
with him.

The Chief Clerk asked how the prisoner's face became so
disfigured ?
The husband saii that while under the influence of
liquor a few nights ago his wife attacked him like a tigress.
He kept her off as well as he could, but as there was a death
struggle he had to strike her in self-defence.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the husband might have struck his
somewhere else but in the eyes; but he (Mr. Tyrwhitt)
should have thought there was no occasion to have struck
her at all, and that he could have held her. It was a sad
business, and the wile appeared to have been badly used.
The prisoner said she was greatly in fault.
Mr. 'Tyrwhitt asked the prisoner whether she drank, and
she mi.:a she did.
• _ _ _ - _

The husband eaid his wire was an habitual drunkard.
_ _ _

Nr. Tyrwhitt again observed that the prisoner had boon
roughly used. Ho would remand her for a week, and hoped
she would attend to what was said to her, or she would
surely come to a miserable end—self murder being a most
dreadful thing.

The prisoner, whose taco was much disfigured, was then
remanded.

PICKING POCKETS IN A SHOP.—John Smith, a boy,
liv-
ing in French-alley, St. Luke's, was charged with picking
the pocket of Hannah Stocker, cook at 2G, Russell-square,
of a purso containing Ll 15s.
The prosecutor was in the shop of Mr. Lewis, cheese-
monger, Tottenham-court•road, and about to pay a bill,
whoa the prisoner picked her pocket of her purse and con-
tents. .

Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week.

WESTMINSTER.

FIVE REASONS FOR NOT GETTING DnuNK,—Charles
Geary, a carman, was charged with being drank and inca-
pable of taking care of a van and horses of which he had
charge.
Police-constable Samuel Geary (not related to the de-
fendant), 267 A, said that, between six and seven on
Saturday evening, he found the defendant in the K'ing's-
road, Chelsea, with some horses and a van. He was so
intoxicated as to be perfect unfit to drive them with
safety to the public. The van was laden with coals, and a
man who appeared to know the defendant came up and
offered to take charge of the team and deliver the coals, but
defendant refused to allow him to do so.
Mr. Selfe—W hat have you to say to this ?
Defendant—Well, I had some drink, and it got the better
of me. _ _ .

Mr. Selfe—Not an unusual thing if you take too much
of it. You were unable to deliver your coals, and when a
man offered to take them for you, it seems you refused to
let him.
Defendant—l had money on tickets for the coals to be
delivered, and therefore I was afraid to deliver them to any
one else, as he might have. taken the money from customers
and stuck to it.
Mr. Selfe—You should have kept sober, and attended to
your business, instead of getting drunk.
Defendant—l only took a drop of drink, and there isn't
much in that.
Mr. Selfe—Yes, there is a great deal in a man getting
drunk who has charge of a carriage of any kind and horses.
Accidents result from it, children are run over and killed,
woman knocked down and injured. I must fine yon.
Defendant—l hope nat. I have a wife and fivo children.
to maintain. Five children are a good deal to keep.
Mr. Selfe—They are five reasons for your not getting
drunk. You are fined 10s., or seven days. I cannot have
drunken drivers about the streets.
