CLERKENWELL.--(THIS DAY.)

George lfillnigtt, who had been remanded several
times on the attempt to murder Susannah Haines, at a
cottage in Paradiee-terrace, Liverpool-road, Islington,
was again brought up this morning for final examina-
tion. Mrs. Haines being now fortunately out of danger,
although in such a state of debility as to be scarcely
able to leave her room.
The evidence of the injured woman's husband, and of
the police and others, was again taken at length, and
several new points elicited; the most important were,
that for the purpose of fixing the identity of the prisoner
as being on the premises, the constable produced a hat
which had been found near Mrs. Haines's cottage, and
that the prisoner had frequently exclaimed, when asked
what his motives could be for making such a murderous
attack upon a woman with whom he had been always
on the most friendly terms—" She knows the reason
herself, I did it for to have revenge and satisfaction;"
and also that he said to the husband, " I intended doing
this the night before, and would have done so most
assuredly had you not come home so soon." The evi-
dence of the surgeon who attended her was taken at
considerable length, and it appeared from it that Mrs.
Haines had received no less than fire incised wounds,
as well as several wounds on the head, and further that
for a considerable time after the injuries had been in-
flicted he entertained serious apprehensions of her death.

The prisoner, when called upon for his—defe;ce7sald.
he should reserve it for the present, and complained
that he was unable to procure professional assistance,
and that if sent for trial at the present sessions at the
Old Bailey, he would labour under the same disadvan-

the charge of feloniously assaulting Susannah Haines
with an intent to murder her.
