StubLer. On the way to the Bow-lane Police-station the
prisoner asked where ho should be tried. The reply was
first at this court, and eventually, if he should be com-
mitted, at the Central Criminal Court. At the station he
was formally charged by Mr Green, a member of the Coal
Exchange,with having married Elizabeth Green, his sister,
his wife being then alive. He was asked where his first
wife was, and ho refused to answer. He afterwards in-
quired what the punishment was for such a crime. Witness
replied that it would depend on circumstances—from a
month's imprisonment upwards. The prisoner said he
thought it was penal servitude, and asked if " the wife"
would be called to give evidence, to which witness replied
thot he did not know.

present at the marriage. It took
place ane
tlandshire, at the chapel of the
Independents. The prisoner was married by the name of
John Parnell, and I did not know him by any other. A
Miss Burbidge was likewise present, as was also my brother
cmo
Samuel, who is now in Australia. The marriage register
produced I received from the registrar at Uppingham,
whom I know persokallY. After the marriage they lived at
different places in London, and latterly in Wolverhampton.
Mrs Cheeseman was recalled, and said she had been in
correspondence with his first wife within the last month, and
she had every reason to believe she was now alive.
Mr Robert Palmer, of Beckfield-houso, Rathdown,
Queen's County, and a Justice of the Peace for that county,
said ho had known the prisoner from his boyhood, and was
sorry to see him in such a position, for he was a relation of
his. Me was married to bliss Frances Howard Flood in
July, 1814, in the Round Churoh, St. Andrew's parish,
Dublin, and witness was present at the marriage, and sub-
scribed the register. Stubber was a name in the prisoner's
family, but witness had always known him by the name of
Millard. He lived with his wife up to 1860 in Queen's
County. His wife afterwards applied to witness for assist-
ance, prisoner having left her without means in Ireland.
She was now living, and witness had seen her a week ago.

The prisoner, on being cautioned, declined to make any
answer to the charge,
Mr Alderman Phillips committed him to Newgato for trial.

Garnham, a well drossod
young man, surrendered to his bail beforo Mr Alderman
Waterlow, charged with receiving stolen goods.
Mr Lewis, jun., prosecuted, and Mc Abrahams defended
the prisoner,

A burglary was committed on the 22d of June last on the
premises of Messrs Edward M'Morland and Co., shaw
warehousemen, of 25, St. Paul's. churchyard. The property
stolen on that occasion consisted of shawls to the value of
£4OO, Nothing further was heard of them until a few days
back, when they were offered for sale at a city warehouse
in the presence of one of Messrs M'Morland's young men,
who recognised them as goods stolen from his employers.
The young man, who was discharged on the first hear-
ing, produced, as the persons from whom he obtained them,
Messrs Woof, linendrapers in Shoreditch, and they pro-

duced the prisoner Garnham. On that occasion Garnham
gave the name of the person from whom he purchased
them, but he could not bo found, and the prisoner was
let out on bail, himself in MOP, and one surety in the
same amount, and the case was remanded till yesterday, in
order to give Garnham an opportunity of finding the man
from whom he bought the goods.
Mr Abrahams said his client had not been able to find the
man,but he had found the person by whom he had been in.
troduced to him.
Mr Alderman Waterlow said that under the circumstances
he should again remand the case, and release Garnham on
his own recognisances.

Mr Woof stated that an impression had got abroad that
he was one of the !persons charged, and was out on bail,
whereas the actual fact was that he was bail for Mr Garn-
ham.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Patrick Kelly, 31, a shoemaker
in Queen-square, Eldon-street, Finsbury, was charged with
attempted suicide.
A shoemaker named Smith, living in Ropemaker.street,
Finsbury-pavement, stated that on the morning of the 2d
ult. the prisoner,whom he had known for a good many years
and who is a single man, called upon him at his lodgings.
He asked him to lend him a shilling. As the prisoner had
been discharged from his situation a short time before, and
witness thought that, though a hard-working and well-be-
haved man, ho probably intended to spend it in drink, he
told him he would not lend it for such a purpose. The pri-
soner then asked him to lend him as much as would pay for
a pint of beer. He consented to that, crossed the room to
his coat, from the pockets of which he took a quantity of
halfpence, and, having handed the prisoner as much as he
had last asked for, again went to his coat to return the ba-
lance. The witness's son suddenly screamed out, " Oh,
father I father I he is cutting his throat." On turning round
he was shocked at seeing the prisoner leaning over a work-
bench, cutting his throat with a paring knife. He jumped
across the room to him, grasped him by the arm, and after
a violent struggle, he got possession of the knife, during
which the prisoner made a stab at him ; he at last got his
arm round him, and pulled his right hand back.
The prisoner dropped the knife. Tho witness's hand was
cut in several places in the course of the contest for the
knife, but the moment that it was got from the prisoner he
seized another small French knife off the working seat, and
made another cut at his throat. The witness again grasped
him and shouted for assistance, which brought downstairs
two other workmen, who pulled the witness back and secured
the prisoner, while the witness went out in search of the
police. Tho prisoner exclaimed, " I'll do it, I'll do it," and
these were the only words in the way of explanation he could
get from him.
Isaac Wiseman, 126 of the city force, said he was called
to 22, Ropemaker-street, on the 2d of last month, to see to
a man who he was told had cut his own throat, and at-
tempted to stab two others. On reaching ono of the upper
rooms ho found the prisoner stretched upon the floor, and
bleeding profusely from a wound in the throat. A surgeon
was present, who attended to him, and ordered his removal
to St. Bartholomew's Hospit Al, to which he was at once
taken, and where he had been till that morning. The sur-
geon there had not given him a certificate, but ho understood
that for some time it was doubtful if he could recover•

Tie prisoner said in a faint voice that what Mr Smith had
stated was perfectly true, and that he could not say any
thing about the affair.

Ho was remanded for a week.

SOUTHWARK.—Wm. Lawrence was charged with
assaulting and robbing James Lewis, near St, George's
Church, High-street, Borcugh.
The prosecutor said that shortly after 12 on Saturday
night he was passing St. George's Church on his way home,
when he saw the prisoner and another man illusing an old
woman. He stopped and asked why they did so, when one
of them rushed upon him and struck him. The prisoner
caught hold of him and struck him a violent blow on the
back of the neck, and at the same time put his hands in his
breast pocket. They had a struggle together for a few
seconds, sad then the prisoner and his-companion ran off.
He missed a silk handkerchief. A police constable shortly
afterwards came up, and the prisoner was secured.
Police-constable 122 M said, about half-past 12 o'clock
he was on duty in Blackman-street, when he heard cries of
"Police 1" near St. George's Church. Ho proceeded there,
and saw the prosecutor bleeding from the face, and the pri-
soner running up Kent-street. He pursued him, and after
a smart chase secured him and brought him back. The
prosecutor then identified him and gave him into custody,
The prisoner, who denied the charge, was committed for
trial.

LAMBETH.—WiIIiam Murray, aged 19, was charged
with cutting and wounding Mary Ann Green.
Police-constable Posse°, 17 L, said, that about half-past
8 o'clock on the evening before he was informed that a
young woman had been stabbed in Frances-court, Lambeth
Walk. On going there he found complainant covered with
blood. She pointed out the prisoner as the person who
had inflicted tho wound. She was so weak from the loss of
blood that he deemed it necessary to remove her at once to
St. Thomas's Hospital. Ho called there yesterday morning,
when he received a cert ficate that she was not in a fit state
to be removed to give her evidence in the case.

Two or three persons, inhabitants of the neighbourhood,
gave evidence, from which it appeared that Frances-court
is inhabited by quarrelsome and lawless persons, and that
on Saturday evening a drunken row commenced there,
