THE 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. Brodriek, Mr. D. Macdonald, and Mr. A. S. Mathison,
charged with attempting to murder Wm. Underwood, and

preliminary and merclyformal character, the wounded per-
sons being unable to attend, owing to the severity of the
injuries inflicted on them. Superintendent Parr, deputy
chief constable of:Surrey, applied for a remand, stating that
she still lay ina 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 Hockley and Russel/1
of Guildford), at the Itaswells, 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 in
country villages,under the generic term of "general shops."
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'clockat Mr. Underwood's, when hemade
some observation of a rather disparaging character respect-
ing his employer. Mr. Underwood immediately checked him,
and said that he shouldbe 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 front
his grasp, and handing him over to the police. The in-
juries are very serious, and it is extremely doubtful whether
Mrs. Underwood can survive.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Pills. -- Weakening
Weather.—The sultry summer days strain the nerves of
the feeble and decrepit, and this state eventuates in dis-
ease unless some restorative such as these purifying pills
be found t 6 correct the disordering tendency. Holloway's
medicine gives ease to the nervous system, which is the
source of all vital movements, and presides over every ac-
tion which maintains the growth and well-being of the
body. None therefore can over-estimate the necessity of
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, pal-
pitation, sick headaches, and costiveness that were ever
invented, and in consequence have attained the largest salts
and highest reputation.
