The Attempted Murder of a Sweetheart at
Chelmsford,

Yesterday Henry Augus,us Munn, the young man who
attempted to cut the throat of his sweetheart, at Chelms-
ford, on the 11th instant, was brought up for examination
at the Shire Hall before a full bench of magistrates. The
court was excessively crowded, principally by young
women, who appeared to take a great interest in the pro-
ceedings. Indeed as soon as it was rumoured in the town
that the young woman had so far recovered from the wound
in her throat as to be able to appear at the court and give
evidence against the prisoner there was a general desire on
the part of the public to be present. The prisoner, it will
be remembered, is an Irish soldier, but has been em-
ployed as in-door servant to Major Masters, of the Royal
Marine Light Infantry, Chatham Division, who resides at
Mr Nicholson's, High-street, Chelmsford; and the young
woman, whose name is Charlotte Turner, WAS Mr Nichol-
son's maid-servant. Prisoner had paid his addresses to her,
and she had given him some encouragement ; but recently
she had discarded hint for another, although, probably to
exonerate herself, she denies this. This so exasperated
him that he attempted on the 11th instant to cut her throat
with a razor.

Prisoner, who has a very determined expression of coun-
tenance, was placed in the dock some time before the chair-
man tool his seat, and employed himself in nodding to
various persons whom he recognised amongst the spectators.
The young woman, who is yet unable to lift up her head,
and appears much depressed in spirits, was accommodated
with a seat near the bench. Sire said—l am a single wo-
man, and have been a servant at Mr Nieholson's since 2d
2d October, 1863. I was not there when prisoner first came
to wait on Major Masters. It Was my duty to attend to the
major's rooms and cook for him. Since I have been there
he has never said anything to me about marriage, and there
was no more attention shown to me by him than I could
expect from a fellow-servant. On the day in question I
went up to Major Masters's bedroom, at a quarter to eleven
o'clock in the morning. I was alone, and went to make the
bed. About five minutes afterwards prisoner came into the
room. He said " I believe you have been telling mistress
something about me." I replied " No, Munn, I have not."
Shortly afterwards I said " Now, Munn, go out ; the major
will be coming," That was about all that had passed, and
, he then placed his left arm round me, and saying " Char-
lotte, dear," drew something across my throat, but what it
was I cannot say. (Witness here was so much affected
that she could not proceed with her evidence for a few
minutes.) She afterwards continued—At the moment I
did not know it was anything serious, but I soon felt
the wound smart, and saw blood flowing copiously. He
went out, and I ran to the door to fasten it against him,
and screamed and knocked for assistance as well as I was
able. Major Masters came up, and I opened the door.
When he saw me he ran out for a doctor and the police.
Prisoner had escaped into the street, but as I was told was
afterwards apprehended on the London-road. He had never
threatened me, nor had he ever wished to marry me. There
is a young man who is paying his addresses to me. I be-
lieve there was something of an altercation between prisoner
and this young man, but I do not know the nature of it. It
is best known to themselves. I was walking with my young
man on a Tuesday evening, about a month before this oc-
currence, and when we were near the chapel prisoner came
behind us. He said to me, " Oh, that's you, Charlotte?''
I replied, " Yes,it's me, Munn." He then said to my friend,
" Oh, you are the fellow I want to see," Ho immediately
afterwards struck my young man. They quarrelled, but I
walked on alone. Prisoner had no right in the major's
bed-room on the morning in question.

Prisoner (to witnese)—Did you not tell me that you were
a married woman when you came to live at Mr Nichol.
son's ?

Witness—l said I had been married.
Did you not tell me your husband was alive P—lf the man
was married when he married me, I am single still.
Prisoner—l can prove that you are not a prudent young
woman.

Thomas Sewell said—l am an errand boy at Mr Nichol•
son's. About a fortnight before this occurrence I saw pri-
soner with a razor. I was in the chaise-house, and he came
out of the kitchen towards me. He said in an angry tone,
" I'll cut her b— throat." 1 made no reply ; and he said
the same words a second time, and added, "If I don't,
Billy, me." I have heard prisoner and the young
woman quarrel about love affairs.

Prisoner to the young woman—l'll ask you another ques-
tion—Did you not tell me out of your own mouth that you
were married, and you could not marry anybody ; and then
afterwards did you not tell me that you would marry me
when my time of service was up?
The Young Woman-1 did not.
The prisoner was then cautioned in the usual way, and
in reply said—l have nothing to say.

He was then committed to take his trial at the next
assizes to be holden at CholmFford, in December.

Extraordinary Conduct of the Yarmouth
Beachmen.

The fearful gale which set in on Wednesday
night from the westward has at length sealed the
destruction of the large iron steamer Ontario, 3,000
tons burden, which went on the Hasborough Sands
off the Norfolk coast, on Sunday night. The seventy
extra hands who were put on board on Monday to
assist in throwing the large cargo of coals over-
board refused to continue the work when the gale
commenced, although offered the high rate of re-
muneration of 2s. 6d. per hour—there was then no
apparent danger of the ship breaking up, and the
six steam tugs hovered about to render immediate
assistance in case of need. They landed on Wed.
nesday evening, but the crew remained, and during
the night the weather became so severe that the
most painful anxiety was felt for the safety of those
left on board. Blue lights were fired and rockets
sent up in the hope
that the lifeboats would come
out. Captain Rivers, Lloyd's special agent at Yar-
mouth, at once applied to the Yarmouth beachmen,
who were in the habit of manning the lifeboat of
that port, to go out to the rescue of those on the
wreck, but, astounding as it may appear, they de-
clined to take the life boat off to the Ontario unless
they were paid the large amount of £5OO. The
agent declined to accede to those terms, and the
beachmen, true to their outrageous demand, kept
the boat ashore. Captain Rivers then hastened to
Gorleston, a few miles from Yarmouth, and engaged
the lifeboat at that place for £lOO, The boat ac-
cordingly went o$ to the wreck, but the sea was
making such a sweep over the stranded ship that
she could nut be approached within a distance of
100 fathoms or so. Late on Thursday the sea had
somewhat gone down, and 75 of the hands succeeded
in getting away in two other boats, leaving only the
captain, officers, and pilot on board, who remained
in order to see whether there was any chance of
saving the valuable vessel. The gale and sea again
got up, and the ensign, with the jack down, was seen
to be hoisted as a signal of distress for taking
ofrtheinlaesftteronanbdeardil, and otand the few others
who werethe latest telegram
announced that the ship was sinking rapidly into
the sand, and would doubtless prove a total loss.
The extraordinary conduct of the Yarmouth
beachmen in refusing to take the lifeboat out to the
wreck unless they received the sum of £5OO, was
brought under the notice of the mayor of the town

Mr Clowes hoped some stepsm.g
might learn that they
could not in such an emergency drive what bar-
gain they pleased.
The Mayor observed that the men left themselves
without an excuse the moment they said they would
not go unless for a certain sum. Such conduct on
the part of the beachmen was really a disgrace to
the coast.

It was eventually arranged to see Capt. Bevan,
the Admiralty commander for the district, with a
view of ascertaining what steps could be taken in
the matter.

Wills and Bequests.

The will of Z tdok Arran Jesse', Esq., pearl and
diamond merchant, of 1, Savile.row, Burlington-
gardens, and of Gordon.house, Putney, was proved
in London on the 17th ult., by his sons, Henry,
Edward, and George. The personalty ,vas sworn
under £35,000. The testator died at his c:untry
residence, on the 31st of August last. His will
bears date the 26th of June, 1863, and a codicil the
22d of August, 1864, nine days prior to his decease,
altering in some respects :the terms of the will,
which had been executed in draught, having many
pencil amerdms,nts, but which were all made pre-
vious to the'execution. The testator, after making
bequests to his brother, sister, nephews, nieces, and
other relatives, bequeaths the residue of his pro-
perty, real and personal, in four equal portions
amongst his three sons and his daughter Amelia,
wife of Ignace Cahn, Esq., of Lime-street-square,
merchant. There are specific bequests left to each
of his children—and amongst these gifts are three
brilliant stud drops, one to each son, and three
pearl studs, one to each daughter-in-law—these
brilliants and pearls to be drawn for by lots. To
his son-in-law, Mr Cahn, he leaves the ring he
usually wore. His several prayet-books he desires
may be distriLuted by lots amongst his children,
and he leaves the sum of £5O to be divided
amongst his servants. He bequeaths to the Jews'
College, Finsbury, the Bible printed by Manasseh
Ben Israel ; also six volumes containing comment-
ries on the Torah ; together with his collection of
minerals, fossils, shells, &c., and a sum of £5O for
