JANUARY 31, 1848.

Two boys were brought to the court charged with
being found begging about the streets at the West-
end.

Mr. 11AnDwicis directed that the padrones should
be summoned before him. Only one of the padrones
could be found. His name was Pietro Majocchi,
and the little boy who gave evidence against him
was Luigi Dlajocchi, his brother. The evidence of
the boy was to the effect that he had been brought
over to this country by his brother, his brother hav-
ing in like manner been previously brought over by
his father, who hail gone back to Italy. The busi-
ness was to go about begging, and to give what money
he got to his brother. lie had got as much as 25. 6d.
in one day, but his usual average was 101. or ls.
Mr. HARDWICK said that it was evident the defers
dant had committed an infraction of the law, that he
was an incorrigible offender, and that it was neces-
sary to inflict a sevt-re punishment. There was,
however, one difficulty about these cases, and that
was, when the padrones were sent to prison what was
to become of the children, and at whose expense were
they to be sent back to Italy ?
Aquiler Lucioni, hootinaker, of Ray-street, who
has taken much pains to put a stop to the system, said
he intended to petition the Pope on the sul;ject.
Mr. Ilwanwicx doubted whether the Pope would
interfere in the matter.

The defendant was then sea to prison and hard
labour for a month.

THAMES.
Michael Haggarty, an Irish coal-whipper, about
30 years of age, was brought before Mr. Ballantine,
charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Ellen
Cahill, with intent to murder her.
The woman Cahill occupied the lower room-of a
small house, No. 7, St. George's-court, Blue-gate-
fields, Ratcliff-highway. On Saturday morning,
between eight and nine o'clock, a woman named Ca-
therine Hall, who is the landlady of the house, and
slept in the room above, was alarmed by the screams
of the woman Cahill, and heard her call out " Mur-
der ; don't kill me, Mike;" and soon afterwards she
was heard to exclaim that her throat was cut. Mrs.
Hall was about to go down stairs to the assistance of
the woman Cahill, when a woman who was in the
same bed prevented her doing so, and said it was
only some of Ellen's larks. A few minutes after-
wards, however, the cries of murder were repeated,
and the noise of a fearful struggle was heard in
the room below. Mrs. Hall got up, and upon
reaching the foot of the stairs saw Ellen Cahill,
lying on her bed, with her face downwards, and the
prisoner jobbing at her with a clasp knife, the blade of
which he thrust into the back and shoulders of the
wretched woman, and also drew it across her neck.
The blood was then gushing from the wounds. Mrs.
Hall ran Up stairs again and told her bedfellow Ellen's
throat was cut. The window was thrown up, and
the two women in the upper room called out "Mur-
der," and at their request a sailor, who was passing,
armed himself with a poker, and threatened to knock
down the prisoner if he did not desist, and prevented
his escape. The injured woman was taken from the
room and conveyed to the house No. 9, in the same
court. Soon afterwards Taplin, a police-constable,
No. 234 K, was called into the house where the pri-
soner was, and he found him in the room where he had
attempted to murder the woman with only his shirt
and trousers on. his shirt sleeves, his hands, and the
front of his shirt were covered with blood, which was
quite wet. There were also large patches of blood on
the bed-clothes and the floor of the room. Taplin asked
the prisoner why he had committed such a dreadful act ;
to which he fiercely replied, "I have killed her, and
have had my revenge over her for scratching my
face and biting my eye last Monday ; you may do
as you like with me now." Taplin left him in charge
of two men, and proceeded to the house where the
woman was, and found her in a most exhausted state
and bleeding from numerous wounds. Mr. Daniel
Ross, a surgeon, in High-street, Shadwell, was im-
mediately called in, and he had some difficulty in
stopping the hemorrage and preventing the wretched
creature from bleeding to death. After binding up
her wounds, twenty •two in number, he applied re
storatives, and left his patient doing as well as could
be expected under the circumstances. Mr. Ross de-
scribed the wounds as follows : Two superficial
wounds on the right side of the head, a cut on the
right side of the throat, and a rather deep one on the
back of the neck, a long and deep gash on the outer side
of the right arm, penetrating to the bone ; a wound on
the right wrist, two fingers of the right hand severely
cut, two wounds in the back near the spine, one on
the left side over the ribs, three deep wounds on the
hack over the left shoulder, and another on the upper
part of the left shoulder, one on the hack of the left
hand, one on the small finger of the same hand
dividing the nail, one between the thumb and fore-
finger of the same hand, arid four deep wounds over the
haunch on the right side. Singularly enough no vital
part had been touched, and Mr. Ross was of opinion,
if' the woman had physical strength enough to bear
up against the immense loss of blood she had sus-
tained, she might recover. Police-sergeant Townson,
No. is K, went to the room where the affray took
place after the prisoner was locked up, and he found
it in a state of great confusion, denoting that the
woman, who was possessed of remarkable strength,
lad been engaged in a terrible conflict with the ruffian
who attempted to deprive her of life, and as a last
resource, when she was overpowered by the loss of
blood, she threw herself on the bed upon her face,
and the prisoner still continued jobbing at her. On
searching the room, Townson found a clasp knife,
with two small blades at one end of it, on a box under
the bed sacking. The other end appeared to have
had a larger blade, which was broken out. A portion
of the iron handle and the bone of the knife were also
gone. Townson found the large blade of the knife,
stained with blood, at the foot of the bed. It fittel
the handle exactly. He also discovered, in another
part of the room, a portion cf the iron frame of the
knife and the piece of bone which had been detached
from it. There is no doubt the large blade of the
knife was broken while the prisoner was stabbing the
woman, and that he concealed the knife with the two
blades under the bed previous to the officer's arrival.
Townson produced the woman's chemise. It was
saturated with gore and pierced with holes correspond-
ing with the wounds described by Mr. Ross.
Inspector Bilson, of the K division, who had charge
of the case, said he should be able to prove, tan a
future day, that the knife found by Townson be-
longed to the prisoner, who had been heard to de-
clare he intended to do for Ellen Cahill.
The prisoner, who is an Irishman, on being called
upon for his defence, in a sullen manner declared
that the woman was always after him and would not
let him alone. As he was on his way borne on Friday
night she would not leave him, but forced him to her
dwelling.
Mr. BALLANTINE—W hat do you say to this charge
of cutting and maiming the woman in such an atro-
cious manner? The prisoner—She scratched me and
bit me on the eye last Monday night; I have
" stucks" and scratches too. Last night at 11 o'clock
I wanted to go home; I told her so, and she forced
her company to me, and I had the revenge.
Mr. BALLANTINH—Last Monday night, what has
that to do with last night? I shall commit you for
trial for the felony, but you will be brought up again
to hear the woman's evidence when she is sufficiently
recovered. I remand you now till Saturday.
