AT CHISWICK.

HAMMERSMITH POLICE-OFFICE (THIS DAY).
The unfortunate young man, Henry Bathurst Monk'
house, was brought up before Mr. Beadon this day, st
half-past two, charged with attempting to murder his
father. Very few persons were outside the
Court, and but few were admitted within its
confined and forbidding precincts. The accused,
when placed at the bar, looked about the Court, as if to
ascertain if any one with whom he was acquainted wee
present. He did not, however, recognise any one.
seemed perfectly composed. His face wears a deter"
urinate obstinate expression.

Inspector Jenks, who was sworn, handed in the fol-
lowing certificate as to tho state of the injured gerLd
tleman

" We hereby certify that we have examined Mr. Jo"
Farmer Monkhothe this morning, and ;found the
constitutional disturbances produced by the wound
in his throat considerably abated, but while the
wound itself continues in its present state he xnusi
be considered in danger, and quite unable to attend
the police court.

The MAGISTRATE therefore remanded the prisoner
until this day week.

removed iu the police-van to the House of Correction.
