MARY LEBONE.

Jeremiah Sullivan, a bricklayer's labourer, was
placed at the bar en the charge of having stabbed
Julia Sullivan, his wife, with intent to murder her.
The prosecutrix, in giving her evidence, deposed
as follows :—Whea this occurrence took place I lived
in Ferdinand-place, Hampstead-road, and have been
in the hospital ever since the 26th of June last. The
prisoner is my husband, and we have lived separate
from each other for some time. Between nine and
ten on the night of the 26th he came to where I
lodged, and on entering the room he said to me, " I've
dropped in upon you at last, old lady," and at the
same moment he seized hold of me by the left hand.
About a fortnight before that he told me had some-
thing in his pocket in store for me.

Mr. 1311011GHTON-When he seized your hand as
you have stated, what next happened ? Prosecutrix
—I asked him to let me go, when I saw him put his
hand up the sleeve of his coat as if he bad something
concealed there. I asked him what it was, and he
replied, "Do you think I have anything there to put
myself into the power of the law, and send my soul to
the devil ?" Mrs. O'Brien, a friend of mine, having
knocked at the door, came in and sat down, when my
husband remarked that he would stand a drop of beer
amongst us. He locked the door, still keeping hold
of my bands and on all three of us leaving together,
we went to a public-house some distance off, where
we had ti.pot of porter, for -which my husband paid ;
he then asked me to call for a pot, but I told him I
had no beer money. At another public-house, the
Black Horse, Kentish-town, we had one more pot of
beer. We left there at about twelve o'clock, and
came down the Kentish-town-road, and as I was
turning to go to my lodging, I said to Mrs. O'Brien,
" This is the nearest way fir me to go borne," and to
my husband I said, " Good night, God bless you, and
I shall meet you to-morrow night at any place you
may like to appoint." He went on a little, and I
followed Mrs. O'Brien, when presently afterwards he
called after me, "Julia, I want to speak to you." I
turned back, and when I came to him I saw him
draw his hand from behind him, cud heard him say
" Now I've done it for you." He then went
away, and I was not aware that I had been stabbed
until I felt blood streaming down my legs. I put my
hand underneath my clo hes, and intruding my finger
into the wound it came against some part of my
bowels. I sat down on the kerb, still Ir.-point my
hand to the wound, and cried out to Mr 3. O'Brien to
come to my assistance, saying, " Oh, I'm stabbed, I'm
stabbed." Sh 9 cams to me, and sat by me, and in the
course of a few minutes my husband returned, when
Mrs. O'Brien said to him, " Mr. Sullivan, you have
killed your wile ;" and the observation he made WS%
" No, she's not dead ye,, what dors she want sittiog
down there ?" He took hold of one of my arms, and
Mn.a O'Brien the ottmr, to lift me up, when my
hands, which I kept close upon my stomach where
the wound was, of course came away, and my bowels
then worked out. I was taken soon afterwards to
the hospital.
In reply to M'. BROUGIITON,
The prosecutrix said, both• before and after he
came out of the last public-house, he asked me if I
would go home with bun ; bur, told him he had no.
where to take me to. He then said, " Shall I stop
with you ?" and on my telling him he should not, be
reniarked,"'t If -I don't, then, it will be either death or
glory to .night." He has often threatened to be my
" butcher: _

Mr. Joeeph Lister, houge-surgeon at the Univer-
sity College Hospital, 'tilted the nature of the in-
juries, by which the woman's life had been placed in
great jeopardy.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
