AT CHISWICK.

HAMMERSMITH POLICE-OFFICE (THIS DAB')•
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 blO
father. Very tew 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 was
present. He did not, however, recognise any one. Ile

seemed perfectly composed. His face wears a deter"
minate obstinate expression.
Inspector Jecks, who was sworn, handed in the fol'
lowing certificate as to the state of the i❑jured gen-
tleman

" We hereby certify that we hare examined Mr. John
Farmer Monkhouso 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 must
be considered in danger, and quite unable to attend
the police court.
