TIIE ATTEMPTED DOUBLE MURDER AT HASCOMB.
—On Saturday afternoon a special county bench
was held at Guildford, when James Oliver, labourer, aged
64, was placed at the bar before the Hon. F. Scott, the Hon.
W. Brodrick, Mr. D. Macdonald, and Mr. A. S. Mathison,
charged with attempting to murder Wm. Underwood, and
Mary Ann Underwood, his wife, at Hascomb, on the night
of Thursday last, the 7th inst. The proceedings were of a
preliminary and merely formal character, the wounded per-
sons being unable to attend, owing to tho severity of the
injuries inflicted on them. Superintendent Parr, deputy
chief constable of Surrey, applied for a remand, stating that
she still lay in a very precarious state. Mr. Smallpeice, the
clerk, asked the prisoner if he understood the nature of the
charge against him—if he understood he was charged with
attempting to murder two persons whom he had seriously
injured, and whose lives were despaired of. The prisoner,
who is a man of somewhat wild and peculiar demeanour,
made no answer, but looked about him vacantly, and ap-
peared to take no interest in the proceedings. He was re-
manded for a week. It appears that the prisoner Oliver
has been for some years under-gardener in the service of
Mr. Hockley, solicitor (of the firm of Hookley and Russell,
of Guildford), at the Raswells, Hascomb ; and that he was
in the habit of taking his meals at the house of Mr. Under-
wood, who keeps one of those little establishments known it
country villages.under the generic term of "generalshops•
Oliver was always regarded as an ill-conditioned, peevish
sort of fellow ; but he was esteemed thoroughly honest,
trustworthy, and not unskilful in his peculiar capacity. On
the night of Thursday last he was having his supper at
about half- past 8 o'clock at Mr. Underwood's, when he made
some observation of a rather disparaging character respect-
ing his employer. Mr. Underwood immediately checked tam,
and said that he should bo the last man to say a word against
one who had always been a kind master to him—the fact
being that Mr. Hockley and his family were always parti-
cularly indulgent to the prisoner. Without further parley
Oliver jumped up and, rushing at Underwood in an in-
furiated manner, stabbed him several times about the
throat with a gardener's large clasp-knife. Alarmed by
her husband's cries, Mrs. Underwood ran to his assist-
ance, when Oliver darted upon her with equal ferocity, and
inflicted a fearful wound in her neck, almost severing the
jugular vein. She fell instantaneously as if dead, on which
Oliver again turned on Mr. Underwood and renewed his
attack upon him, aiming a blow direct at his heart, which,
however, his victim warded off with his arm. Underwood
and his wife then succeeded in running out of the house,
screaming and bleeding as they ran. They were closely fol-
lowed by Oliver, knife in hand, who had nearly come up to
them, when Mr. Hackley's coachman fortunately came UP,
and, perceiving in a moment the state of matters, felled
Oliver to the ground with one blow of his fist, and after
considerable exertions succeeded in wresting the knife from
his grasp, and handing him over to the police. The ia"
juries are very serious, and it is extremely ddubtful whether
Mrs. Underwood can survive.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Pills. Weakening,
Weather.—The sultry summer days strain the nerves_°'
the feeble and decrepit, and this state eventuates in cus.,,-
ease unless some restorative such as these purifying P"
be found to correct the disordering tendency. Holloway
medicine gives ease to the nervous system, which is the
source of all vital movements, and presides over every se"
tion which maintains the growth and well-being of the:
body. None therefore can over-estimate the necessity 01
keeping the nerves well strung, and the ease with which
these pills accomplish that end. They are the most un-
failing antidotes to indigestion, irregular circulation, Pt":
pitation, sick headaches, and costiveness that were eYe'
invented, and in consequence have attained the largest sal°
and highest reputation.
