POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
CLERKENWELL.
Yesterday, Thomas Lavender, a young man, who di-
scribed himself as a porter, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Combe, charged by Miss Anna Jones, of 28, Salii-
bury •street, Islington, with having feloniously stoppisl
her on the Queen's highway, put her in bodily fear, and
stolen from her person a valuable silk shawl.
The prosecutrix, whose face exhibited marks of vio-
lence, deposed that on Monday evening she went to a
party, where she was detained until twelve o'clock. She
had made an appointment to meet her mother at the
Temperance-hall, South street, Islington, to proceed
home with her, and as she was on her way the prisoner
accosted her, saying, "It is a fine night," and he soli-
cited her to take his arm. She declined this invitation
and walked on but he continued to follow her, and
several times importuned her, but she hastened onwards
much alarmed. He at length asked her to enter a pub-
lic house and have something to drink. She begged of
him to desist, and go about his business, or she would
give him in custody to a policeman. On her arrival at
the corner of South-street, near Britannia-fields, the
prisoner seized her, and told her to open her shawl, when
she called out " durder," " Police,' keeping tight hold
of her shawl. The prisoner then struck her a violent
blow with his clenched fist on her mouth, which lacer-
ated her lips, loosened several of her teeth, one of which
was knocked out, and, dragging the shawl from her
shoulders, he ran oft' with it. She bled very much, and
was nearly stunned, but she called out " Stop thief,"
and the prisoner was taken into custody.
John James, of Miles-street, Icloxton, picked up the
shawl near to the spot where the prisoner was taken
into custody.
James Hitchcock, 131 N, deposed that he heard the
cries of " Murder," and " Police," in a female voice.
He went towards the spot, and met the prisoner walk-
ing away. He said to witness,—" You are wanted at
the corner." Witness went on, and found Miss Jones
bleeding from the mouth. She pointed out the direction
the prisoner took. Witness pursued and apprehended
him. He said,—" I did not take the shawL" The
prisoner was concealed near a hedge, opposite South-
street, when he took him.
Miss Jones positively identified the prisoner. She
knew nothing of him; she never saw him before in
her life.
Mr. COMBE cautioned the prisoner that it was a very
serious charge against him, and he was not bound to say
anything in his defence at present.
Prisoner (indifferently)—I needn't say anything now.
He was fully committed for trial.
Ann Parker, a young woman, was placed at the bar
charged with having attempted to murder her own mo-
ther by strangling her.
Elizabeth Jennings deposed that the prisoner was a
street-walker, and lodged in the same room with witness
and her mother, wko was a washerwoman, at No. 5,
Vernon's-buildings, St. Pancras-road. At 3 o'clock
that morning the prisoner came home intoxicated.
A quarrel ensued between the prisoner and her mo-
ther, when the prisoner seized her by the throat; they
struggled together for some time, until the pri-
soner forced her mother down undermost on the bed,
and held her until she was black in the face. Witness
separated them, and the mother lay on the bed appa-
rently lifeless. Witness instantly sent for a surgeor,
and called in a policeman, who took the prisoner into
custody. A surgeon attended, and the mother was re-
stored to her senses. She said (meaning the prisoner),
" She did it." (The witness gave her evidence with
great reluctance, and was evidently desirous of conceal-
ing the truth.)
Haines, 194 5, deposed, that at half-past three o'clock
he was called in, and he found the mother to all appear-
ance dead, lying on the bed. When she came a little to
her senses he inquired who it was that offered the vio-
lence to her ? She replied, " She did it," meaning the
prisoner. Witness took her into custody. The prisoner
said several times, "I did it," and, making use of bad
language and throats, exclaimed, " I will do it for all
of them one after the other." He produced a certificate
from the surgeon that " Henrietta Parker was lying in
a dangerous state from the effects of violence by stra
gulation."
Mr. COMBE inquired of the witness Jennings whether
the marks of violence upon the mother's neck were caused
by the prisoner's hands ? Jennings—l can't say whether
by the hands or strings of the petticoat.
Mr. CO' BE asked the prisoner if she wished to say
anything to the charge ? Prisoner (sullenly and indif-
ferently)—l came home and she was drunk. She began
with me and struck me on the nose first.
Mr. COMBE—Your mother's life is in danger. This
is a serious charge against you. Perhaps she may die.
I shall remand you until her fate is known.
She was remanded.
WANDS IV ORT H.
Yesterday George Frost, a labourer, aged about 60,
was finally examined upon a charge of attempting to
murder his wife, by stabbing her in the arm with a table
knife.
It appeared from the evidence given on the previous
day, that on Sunday afternoon last, about half-past three
o'clock, the wife of the prisoner went to the residence of
police.constable Pearce, 250 V, in the Bridgeway, Wim-
bledon, and exhibiting her right arm, which was stream-
ing with blood, said her husband had stabbed her, and
produced the knife with which he did it, a common table
knife, the blade of which was smeared with blood. After
the wound had been dressed by Mr. Tapley, a chymist,
the prisoner was taken into custody and brought to
Wandsworth station-house, where he admitted having
committed the offence. The wife nor surgeon being pre-
sent, the prisoner was remanded.
Yesterday the wife of the prisoner attended, and when
called upon to give evidence said she had been married
thirty-two years, that she was very hasty, and consi-
dered herself as much to blame as her husband. She
thought it a hard thing to he obliged to swear against
him.

Mr. CLIVE observed that the witness must be sworn,
but recommended her to be careful that the account she
now gave did not vary too much from the statement she
had made at the police-station on Sunday night. She
deposed that on Sunday last they had both been par-
taking freely of beer; and had some high words. Her
husband did not do any more to her than in attempting
to pass him she found her arm cut, and went out, and,
seeing a policeman, he took her to a doctor's to have it
dressed.
Mr. Edwin Fennell, surgeon, proved that the woman
Frost had received a wound in the fleshy part of the
arm, which had been inflicted by a knife; the instrument
had passed completely through, but, fortunately, avoided
the larger vessels.
John Payne, 11 V, acting inspector at Wandsworth
station, proved that the wife, when she made the charge,
gave the following statement :--That she and her hus-
band had some words, and he said, " D—n you, I'll stab
yo.t." He took a knife out of his pocket and opened
the blade, but he did not stab her with that one, bat
one from off the table. She then struggled with him,
threw him down, and wrested the knife from him ; after
which she wont for the police. The prisoner made
answer that she had taken up a knife score, of times tto
him, and she replied she had never used it. The pri-
soner then said, " I own I did it, but it was all through
Jealousy._

The prisoner, whose defence was that he did not stab
his wife intentionally, was then fully committed for trial
upon the charge of cutting and wounding with intent
to murder.
The wife fainted on hearing the decision.
