NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Keating.)
THE CHELSEA MURDERS.

Walter Millar was indicted with the wilful murder of
the Rev. Mr. Heulin and his housekeep3r, Mrs. Ann Boss.
—Mr. Poland, before proceeding with the case for the pro-
secution, said an application had been made yesterday for
a postponement of the trial, and the reasons given were
then not considered sufficient to justify such an
arrangement. He understood that his learned friend, Mr.
Collins, who defended the prisoner, was quite unable
to proceed owing to the brief time he had been instructed.
He had no desire to pres.; on the prosecution under
such circumstances ; as justice would not suffer, he was
quite ready to agree to the trial standing over until July
Sessions. The learned Judge then consented to the trial
standing over as required.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)
MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A HUSBAND ON HIS WIFE

Samuel Jackson, aged 43 years, of No. 44, Cornwall-
street, St. George-in-the-East, was charged at the Thames
police-court, with murderously assaulting and wounding
his wife, Martha, who appeared in a weak and deplorable
condition. According to the woman's account she and her
husband has led a cat-and-dog life for a long time, and he
was in the practice of using her scandalously. Last night
she was out with her husband, a workmate of his,
and his mate's wife. They were drinking rather
freely, and the prisoner threatened his wife,
who ran away from him, and went home. The
prisoner returned home at a late hour and beat his
wife. He also knocked her down and kicked her on th
head, and she was conveyed in an insensible condition on
a stretcher to the station-house. She was stabbed on the
left hand with a knife by her brutal husband a short time
ago, and had ever since lost the use of it. The hand and
arm were bandaged. Richard Jealous, police sergeant
No. 14 K, said the woman was in a " pool of blood " when
he first saw her, and lying insensible on the floor. She
was bleeding profusely from a wound on the nose and
another on the forehead, and if he had not sent for
medical assistance promptly she would have died. He
found a knife, nail, and key on the prisoner. The wound
on the forehead appeared to have been inflicted with a
sharp instrument. Mr. John Kinnan, assistant to Mr.
Daniel Ross, Divisional Surgeon of Police, said there was
an incised wound on the bridge of the nose, reaching down
to the bone, and he believed it was done with a sharp
instrument. The woman was faint and weak from loss
of blood. The injury on the eye was caused by a blow
or kick. The eye-ball was not injured. The prisoner in
defence said he had received great provocation. His wife
was an habitual drunkard, and had frequently sold the
goods to procure strong drinks. She had also broken up
the things at home and once hit him on the arm with a
poker, and disabled him. The prisoner was committed
for trial under a recent statute for unlawfully and
malioiously wounding his wife.
ROBBING A COUNTRYMAN.—Rebecca Mars was placed
before Mr. Arnold, at the Westminster Police-court,
charged with robbing a man named Gilbert, who had but
the night previously arrived in London from Grantham.
The prosecutor was looking for lodgings in Westminster,
when he met the woman, who said she could direct him to
a respectable place. He went with her as he was not
sober, but when he awoke in the morning his watch and
money were gone. The magistrate said it was a very
stupid thing for a man to do. The prisoner was
remanded.

ROBBERY AT THE ST. JAMES'S HOTEL.—Rowland Wil-
liams, porter at the St. James's Hotel, No. 77, Piccadilly,
was charged before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street
Police court, with stealing a portmanteau and contents,
of the value of £3O, the proporty of a gentleman named
Pownell. Henry Orpin. hall porter at the St. James'
Hotel, said that on M onday morning about 10 o'clock a
gentleman brought a portmanteau and the luggage to the
hotel, and about one o'clock he saw the prisoner take it
out of the hall and return immediately without it.
Mr. Wall and the porter of the hotel proved seeing the
prisoner go into the hotel with a portmanteau, the pro-
perty of Mr. Pownell. A detective constable said he had
been to the prisoner's lodgings and found some property
which he believed was the stolen portmanteau. The
prisoner was remanded.
