MURDEROUS ATTACK BY A
HOUSEBREAKER. •
About seven o'clock yesterday morning a man
with he
front part of his clothes completely saturated with blood,
which had flowed from an extensive wound on the left
side of his neck, and in a state of extreme weakness
exhaustion, presented himself at Rahere's Ward (en°
accident receiving ward for the week), at St. Bertholo-
mew's Hospital, and was directly admitted and had s'eri
requisite assistance rendered him, and after he lual sonte:
what • recovered himself he made the following state
meat :—His mane is Thomas Spencer, cabinet-maker. t
Last night he left London on foot, inn-idle
to sleep at Hendon. At twelve o'clock a ix~
beyond Hendon Church, as he was Passi"4 °Arden
roomed cottage by the road side, with a wail /weak_
before it, enclosed by iron railings, he heard the • u. up
ing of Glass, and saw a Amp in the act of throwinp
the sash of one of the parlour windows—that on the rigl.e
hand side of the hall door, -and-called to him, " What are
ing, " D—n your eyes you— what is it to you, and
you about there ?" The man directly 10i up tri-fiiin s 4
the same instant made a sweeping blow at his neck, which
struck him on the left side of the throat, just under the
jaw bone ; the fellow then ran off in the direction towards
Hendon Church. Fearing that the man might base -
some confederates with him, lie did not wait to give ant
alarm on the spot, but ran off in the direction toward'
town, and on his way he met with two policemen, ev.
whom he gave information, and his name and address.
but declined their offer to procure him surgical aid.•
After walking for about an hour, he became so faint frote ;•
loss of blood, that lie was obliged to lie down in a field,
where he became insensible, and remained so until be:
*tiveen four and five o'clock, when lie came to himself-,
and; with the greatest difficulty, succeeded in ivalking
the Hospital.
The radii' 'who attacked him is about 5 feet , inobe!
high, wore a fustian jacket and a black hat, and seemed
very active, bUVSpencer could not distinguish his fee"
tures. The wound is not considered at present to be
likely to lead to a fatal :result. Spencer says that
thinks that he discerned clasp knife in the man's ha"
when lie struck him ; he noticed that there were inside'
shutters to the parlour windows,„which were closed.
