DANIEL THE DENTIST.

--..--
" The eye-teeth were the symbols of wisdom, ar thew
fore he could not hope to extract them from the .Ariste.
cracy. Vide O'Connell's speech in the Comas lit
night. •

" Daniel the Dentist, with forceps and claw
Went out to the House of Lords to draw
Their Lordships' wisdom-teeth, for he
Had a long while feared their sagacity;
But as soon as his curious.eye he claps
On the Tory Peers' potatoe-traps,
Behold I to his vast surprise, he saw
The Devil an eye-tooth there was to draw I
Not a single Tory Lord, in truth,
Had as yet cut a single wisdom-tooth,
Which clearly proves that Conservative sense,4
Like Hope, is still in the future tense.
When Daniel the Dentist beheld this sight. 4
Quoth he, to wash a bleckamoor white,
Or take the breeks off a Highland wight,
Were as easy a task as this of mine
To extract from their Lordships a wisdom-sigtt #
So, findirg his errand was all in vain,
Daniel the Dentist went home again I

MURDEROUS ASSAULT A

MANCHESTER.

MANCHESTER MONDAY EVE PO,' ;„
Last night the neighbourhood of Club-row, Oldham .road
this town, was tht own into the greatest excitement and con'teri;
nation, by the report that a man had murdered his wife. 1111,
not literally tru- we fear that ere long the unfortunat r vie
of jealousy will be numbered with the dead. From • Ellata'i
can lean,, amidst many conflicting statement 14
the usual exaggerations attendant on occurrences of t;1 tit r'-of
ture, the following appear to have been the circumsta -nces
this horrible assault :
A man named George Whittaker, a cooper, who reoide:
in Club-row, Oldham-road, has been for some ti-t
past living separate from his wife. However, ho
for her to return to him, and on Sunday (yest jrointed
she went back, but was a good deal dismal
to find that the whole of the furniture of which the Y "-f
that
possessed at the time of their separation had been sold, its
„„ce
he could only take her to a lodging. Whether this circu a
produced any altercation, is at present a matter of some. °"„n,
However, between four and five o'clock in the aft einnvil
the other inmates and the neighbours were alar Medea•
the shrieks of a female, and cries of " Murder" l SO%IC
ing from the apartment occupied by the wretched 07/r
Some persons, apprehensive that there was serious grc
the alarm, rushed into the room, and the spectacle th at P.
sented itself to their eyes was of a most hirril in
cription. Whittaker had a cooper's adze or eltetinvis
hi hand, - with which he was dealing deadly un'd" it
at his unfortunate wife ; she was seated on a; sofa , 2,3 ;0.
would seem, after she had received one blow, she I PL',l;er
stinctively put her hand to her head to ward off 3 I,,°' 5-0
and the hatchet coming dawn, had struck her w'it".des
much force as to sever three fingers from her hand, :be' 4
inflicting a dreadful wound on the scalp. Again she ''nat.
have sought to protict herself from the infuriated and brts
tack of her husband, for two fingers were in like mani .ler,•
vered from the other hand. The nature of this outrage -13a1r,3
became known, a messenger was dispatched to the Oldha
police lock-up, and Robert Daggett, the keeper, and on, $ ° tbe
Manchester police force, immediately proceeded
Vent,
Whittaker spot. When he entered the room, he found oc;ot,
Whittaker standing in the middle of the apa rti.°„,o
his shirt spotted and stained with blood. At his f !et:ife.

her on the floor, one of her hands split, or cut in taa $ 1°,1%1
tudinally, and her head severely cut and wounded. )3.gb,
immediately seized Whittaker, and told him he was '11,":"
soner. Whittaker merely replied, " Oh, I shall not run a tie
Daggatt conveyed him to the lock-up, and also sent fear ''.ol
different surgeons to attend the poor woman. They %L be
promptly, but the injuries she had received appeared ,7„61
of so serious and dangerous a character, that it was (141e:ter
advisable at once to have her conveyed to the Marniu". s
Royal Infirmary. Daggatt sent for a coach, and she wa titio_,•
thither, and there received every attention which her iOnerl
choly condition demanded. Strange to say, she still re, 01"iit
in possession both of her faculties and speech, and accordiil44 s
was considered advisable that Wore she should fall o,:es,
state of insensibility that her deposition should be Itte,
Daniel Maude, Esq., our stipendiary Police Magi ts:o
attended, and took down her account of the circum:
under which she had received these dreadful ire' ia
We believe that she afterwards became insensil iles
which state she still remains. On inquiry at th ber
firmary at a late hour, we learned from one (11,11
medical attendants, that in his opinion it would be itSa
miraculous that she could recover; but he is of opiaioo

she J

The wretched man Whittaker, was this morning conveyed' 'sot
the Oldham-road loek-up, to the New Bailey. He vrasf;
brought up in Court, at the sitting of the Magistrates this u'ie
but Mr. Maude intimated that, under the circtunstances of
case, he should remand him till Friday next.
ea°
We rave not heard any distinct account of the alleg hos
supposed cause of this brutal act. It seems, however, 'tolot
been, partially at least, the result of jealousy, whether WePo,
ill-founded, we know not, and partly the consequence of 01;d
cited state of feeling, probably arising out of some bi.e/MVsi
with the unhappy woman, whom, if he has not killedy hed of
most shockingly mutilated in both hands, for the rewae'o
her miserable life.
