POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—George Neal, a determined-
looking young man, was charged with stabbing David
Young.

The prosecutor said on the 10th of July he was in Covent-
garden market, when cut of a lark he tapped prisoner on
the shoulder, ho turned round very savagely, struck him a
blow on the cheek, which he returned, and the prisoner
rushed up to a coffee-stall, and, taking a knife therefrom,
he stabbed him in the cheek and also over the left eye, which
injured him to such an extent that the eyeball was
completely displaced. He sank to the ground from the
effects of the blow, and on recovering he found himself in
the hospital.

George Davis said ho saw the prisoner running towards
the coffee-stall, and when he got up to it he deliberately
opened a drawer in it and took a large white-handled table
knife from it, and then he attacked the prosecutor. He
went up and seized the prisoner, but he struggled very
violently, and having dropped the knife, succeeded in get-
ting away, lie continued to follow him, and ultimately,he
was taken into custody.
Police-constable Smith said he took the priscner into
custody for stabbing the prosecutor. As soon as possible
he went to the hospital to ascertain the injuries he had
sustained ; and the house surgeon considered it of such a
serious nature that the prosecutor was unable to leave
the institution. He had been there ever since the assault,
and it was only this morning that he had been
considered sufficiently recovered to attend and give evidence.
lie had the certificate of the house-surgeon, stating the
injuries the prosecutor had received.

Mr. Henry said the surgeon's certificate was not evidence•
lie should commit the prisoner for trial, but before he did
so the surgeon must attend and state the nature of the
injur3 the prosecutor received. He would remand the case
again to enable the surgeon to attend.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
FRACAS AT THE OXFORD MUSIC HALL.—John Browne,
a respectable-looking young man, described as a miner, but
who refused his address, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with the following assault on Mr. Edwin Charles Morton,
a gentleman, residing at Hillingdon Heath, Uxbridge (but
not related to Mr. Morton of the Oxford. Music Hall).
Complainant said last night, I was in the gallery of the
Oxford Music Hall, when the defendant, whom I had never
seen before, said " Take that, you blackguard,'• and imme-
diately struck me two blows in the mouth with his fist.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Had you not said something to him ?
Complainant—l had not, and I did not see where he
came from,

Defendant—Do you mean to say you had not seen me,
and that you have no idea why I struck you ? If you have
not, I'll tell you—perhaps you would like to know. Did
you not see me sitting with two ladies ?
Complainant—l did not. There were about 200 persona
in the gallery: I did not see you there.

-
Defendant—When I left the hall did you not speak to
the ladies I had been with ?
Complainant—No, i did not.

Defendant—The provocation I received was blackguardly,
and I treated the person the same way.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Then you will pay 405., or be imprisoned
for six weeks in default.

THAMES.
HORRIBLE ATTEMPT AT MunnEu..--Ilemy Turk, a
joiner, aged 32, of 9, Oxford-terrace, Manchester-road,
Poplar, was brought up on remand before Mr. Partridge,
charged with wilfully and maliciously cutting the throat of
Charles John Turk, his brother, with intent to murder him
or do previous bodily harm.
Mr. C. Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner, who was
remanded on Saturday last, when the only evidence given
was that of Michael Halton, a police sergeant, 26 K, who
stated that hearing the prisoner had cut his brother's throat
intocastodY. He brought the
brother, who said the pH-
, withpriso
naerraiznotro he

of
his
goner had wounded him. The prisoner denied having done
so, and he then took him out of the room.
Charles John Turk, who appeared to be in a very weakly
condition, stated that he had been lodging with the prisoner,
his brother, for more than three weeks. He came up front
Plymouth at his father's request, to get some work as a
blacksmith. He had made up his mind to return to Ply-
mouth again. One day last week he asked his brother for
his razor and used it. It was afterwards put in the wash-
ing-stand drawer. On Friday last, between the hours of
nine and ten o'clock, he went to bed. Shortly afterwards
the prisoner came to bed, and after that he found him put
his hand over his shirt collar, unbutton his shirt and
turn his collar back. Suspecting nothing wrong
he went to sleep. He was aroused by some one
cutting his throat. The blood was trickling over
his shirt front. He halloaed out murder, and
called to Mrs. Cameron to bring a light. She came up
stairs with a light, and the prisoner was behind her. He
lost a good deal of blood. Grant Caine to his assistance.
He had no previous quarrel with his brother. He knew
it was his brother who came to bed, because he spoke to
him. His brother wrote to him to come up to London. He
came to London twice. He came to London last time on
Sunday week. His brother said he could not go to work
on the following morning at the Limited Ironworks. On
the Sunday evening he went to a friend's house with his
brother. He went to the Thames Ironworks on the follow-
ing day, and finding no work he came home about half-past
eight that morning, and said to the prisoner, " I know this
is humbug, there is no work for me." He had been looking
for work ever since.

Mary Matilda Cameron, of 9, Oxford.terrace, gave con-
firmatory evidence.

Mr. Grant, surgeon, said he had attended the wounded
man. There was a transverse wound three inches long and
a quarter of an inch in depth. In his opinion the wound
was inflicted with a raz)r.

Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial, and re-
fused to take bail.

Mr. C. Young—The prisoner will reserve his defence.
