POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
CLERKENWELL.
James Stockbridge and John Darvell, stout young
men, dressed as agricultural labourers, were placed at
the bar before Mr. Tyr whitt, charged with having at-
tempted to murder James Cole, a labouring man,
residing in Hem raing's-buildings, Chapel-street,
Clerkenwell.
The prosecutor, who appeared in the witness-box with
his throat cut and plastered, having been sworn, said
that on Monday night last he had been drinking with
the prisoners at a public-house in the neighbourhood of
Islington, when he left them to return home. At about
one o'clock in the morning, while he was with his sister
and some other persons, the prisoners came to the house
and wished to be let in; but, not wishing to admit them
at such an unseasonable hour, he told his sister to in-
form them that he was not at home. They would not
believe it, and endeavoured to force their way in, but
she resisted them, on which they pulled out their
knives and threatened to murder her, and her cries for
Help" and of 't Murder" induced him to go out for
her protection, when he saw both prisoners armed with
knives. Oa making his appearance they swore they
would murder him, whea S.ockbridge made a stab at
him, and a struggle ensued, in which both of them fell
down, he (witness) being undermost; and while on the
ground the prisoner Stockbridge cut his throat, ii.fiicting
a deep wound with his knife. On getting up he was at
tempting to escape, when the prisoner Darvell attacked
him and stabbed him twice in the arm and back with
his knife. They threatened that they would murder
everybody in the house, which there was no doubt they
would have done had it not been for the timely arrival
aa,:a h
heo was taken to w
of the police. The witness added, th
a surgeon, who dressed his wounds,as now in a
very weakly condition through the loss of blood.
Mr. TIMITFEITT Lqu eau
ired as to the
of all this
extraordinary violence, and whether the pszeisoners were
Answer—They were
drunk at the time of the outrage? Awer
not drunk, and no cause could be assigned for their con-
duet, except their having been refused admission into
the house.
Esther Cole, sister of the prosecutor, corroborated his
evidence. She was going on an errand,
pri-
soners came and asked her afterfohleirbrothwehr.en Shethe said
he was not at home. They
andoweclto her with their
knives, threatening to murder her, rushed after
her into the house. Her brothier, theyher protection,
when he was stabbed and thrown': down.eame She distinctly
saw Stockbridge cut her brother's throat with a knife;
she also saw him stab a woman who came to their as-
sistance, who was seriously injured, and unable to at-
tend. She also saw Darvell stab her brother in the hand
and back.

Henry Beck, of Ilemming's-buiidings, was alarmed
by the cries of "Police" and " Murder." He went out,
and saw the prisoners brandishing their knives; they
pushed witness, and would no doubt have murdered him,
had he not made his escape into a neighbour's house.
The police arrived, and took the prisoners into custody,
when they were locked up.
Numerous policemen were in attendance to confirm
the above evide,'.oe.

Mr. TYRWHITT asked the prisoners what they had to
say to such a daring and lawless outrage. It was a
wholesale attempt at slaughter. Stockbridge said, they
were all together at a public-house, where they rema'ned
until two o'clock in the morning, when the prosecutor
left them, c,nd did not return again. He (Stockbridge)
and Darvell went after him, and in passing by the house
is Hemming's-buildings they heard some persons in the
hoase. They 'knocked at the door, but they would not
let them in. They inquired for the prosecutor, when
the sister told them that he will not at home.

An officer said that the knife belonging to Stockbridge
was found near the house in Hemming 's-buildings.
Stockbridge denied having a knife.
Darnll, with equal indifference, made a similar defence.
Mr. TYRIfIIITT said he would remand both prisoners
for a week. Other persons had been seriously injured
by them, and it w,s necessary to ascertai❑ th© extent of
the injuries and the fate that swzized them.
Instructions were given for their attendance, and also
that of the surgeon. The prisoners were then conveyed
to prison.
