POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

A SAD STORY. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Charlotte
Hell, a married woman, about 60 years of age, residing at
21, Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt 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, then 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 wss 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 said 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 ho could have held her. It was a sad
business, and the wife appeared to have been badly used.
The prisoner said she was greatly in fault.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prisoner whether she drank, and
ehe said she did.
The husband said his wife was an habitual drunkard.
Mr. Tyrwhitt again observid that the prisoner had been
roughly used. He 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 face 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 pinking
the pocket of Hannah Stocker, cook at 26, Russell-square,
of a puree containing LI 15s.
The prosecutor was in the shop of Mr. Lewis, cheese-
mongor, Tottenham-court-road, and about to pay a bill,
when the prisoner picked her pocket of her purse and con-
tents.
llr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week,
