WORSHIP-STREET.

George Smith, a sottish, surly-looking fellow, de-
ocrihtd as a plasterer, wai placed at the bar btore Mr.
Hawn:till, charged under very aggravated circurnstanc.
with as.aulting and woundit g u !hilt) boy Latn.d Darnel
Harro,gton, 11 years of age, and seriously endangering
his hte.

From the evidence of the complainant, whose head
was env« loped in bandages, sod that of several other
witnesses, it appeared that about nine o'clock in the
evening of Friday, the 27 h ult., the neighbourhood of
the prisoner's house, in Prince's-street, Mile end, was
involved in much cia:notion and alarm, in consequence
of loud screams of " Murder " from the prisoner's wife,
which attracted a large concourse of persons around the
house, at the attic window of which, on the third sto'y.
the poor woman was engaged in a desperate struggle
with her brutal husband, who had thrown up the sash
and was exerting his utmost cff.,rts to pitch her head,
long into the street. The savage conduct of the prisoner
excited a general feeling of horror and indignation
among the crowd, who loudly expressed their sense of bis
brutality, on hearing which the prisoner suddenly relin-
quished his hold of the woman, and after a momentary
absence returned to the window with a brick in his
band, and instantly hurled it down with all his force
upon the heads of the persons beneath. The complainant,
who was standing at the time in the centre of the
road, quietly looking on, stepped hastily aside to
avoid the heavy missile, but it unfortunately
struck him to the ground in a state of insenst
bility, inflicting a terrible wound in his head, from
which it rebounded with such force as to knock down
another child standing near him, and who was also se-
verely injured. They were both immediately raiaed by
the bystanders and conveyed to the London Hospital.
where their wounds were dressed, but a considerable
time elapsed before the complainant was restored to con-
sciousness, and he was considered in imminent flange;
for several days from the effects of the it jury, from
which he had not yet recovered, and still continued an
out-patient of that institution.
Police-constable Donoway, of the H division, stated
that, upon reaching the house on the night in question,
he found that the front door had been just burst in by
the infuriated mob, who were about to take summary
vengeance upon the prisoner, but the witness managed
with some difficulty to restrain them, and on entering
the heuse the prisoner's wife, whose bead and face were
shockingly contused and swollen, entreated him at
once to secure her husband, or her life would be cer-
tainly sacrificed. On ascending to the attic, how-
ever, the prisoner was not to be found, but observing
that a considerable portion of the ceiling had been re-
cently broken away, he forced himself through the
aperture, and found the prisoner endeavouring to conceal
himself underneath the tiles. He immediately se sad
him and got him down stairs, but had the greatest diffi-
culty iu protecting him from the viulence of the exam-
perwed crowd, who threatened to kill him, end it required
the combined efforts of six constables to keep them at
bay and convey him in safety to the station-house.
Mr. Charles Dukes, house surgeon of the London
Hospital, deposed that the complainant bad su-ts;ned a
severe injury on the side of the hi ad, about an inch and
a half in leogtb, which had placed his lie() in c lisiderable
danger, and that, although he hnd now partially re-
covered, he had suffered greatly in health from the effects
of the wound. .

...„
Oa being asked if he wished to ray anything in
answer to the etage, the prisoner sullenly rsplivri, that
ai it appeared the magi% rate intended to send hun before
is jury, he should not offer any defence upon that oce4-
sion; sod the depAsttions of the witnesses haring t
ern
formally token, the prisoner was fully outnreitttd to
Newgate for trial.
