THE ATTEMPTED MURDeII AND SDI
GIDE AT ISLINGTON.

INQUEST.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Wakley, the coroner for
the western division of Midal-sex, opened aa in-
quest at, the Marquis of Salisbury, Pembroke-t-treet,
Islington, upon the hotly of George Osborne, whose
melancholy death we have already' rep rted ; the
inquiry being held closely adjacent to the house in
which the lamentable occurrences took place, ex-
cited great interest amongst the inhabitantsLif the
neighbourho,d.. The jury, in viewing the body,
were accompanied by a large concourse of persons,
who had assembled in the immediate vicinity Of the
inquest room and in front of tho house, which was
in charge of two police con,tables.

Toe -first witness was Ann Smith, who stated
that she was a lodger in the h 'use where the trao•beily
occurred, and had been sit for tee last neven or eieht
months. waa a Married woman, the wife of
Wm. Smith, a collector of goodsf .r wholesale housete
She had known the dec 'ased dut ing th tt time. He
was a gas wolker, and lived with hie wife. They had
no children, but were bringing one up. She saw the
deceased inflict the wound. It was on Sunday even-
ing, at about a coarter o 7 o'clock. He was with Isis
wile in the back kitchen. Witness heard them
quarrelling, and the deceased 'ssid to his wife,
" No, yeti shan't, old girl," but witness d'd not
know what it was about. She then went indoors,
and had scarcely got into her room wh-n she'heard
the screams and cries of Mrs. Osborne. Witnes
ran down acrd saw the man cutting and choPpin,
her about, the head. (The chopper was bete pro-
duced. It is a large hand ',Mittel, such as is used
for ciloppi,,g up woo 1. It was about 12 inches
long.) He cotitieued staking her as long as she
stoo up, 'aid when she fell he continued striking
her. Witness ran to the front door inti ca'led for l
assistance, but none came. She returned to the
kitchen, when he threw the choppur out of his
hand and commenced cutting his throat with a large
black-handled table-knife. He continued cutting
for a few minutes when he fell on the floor, over,
his wife, in a pool of blood. Mr. Richardson, the
surgeon, soon atter arrived. His wife had nothing
in her hand. During the time that witness had
lodged in the house she never saw the deceased
the worse for liquor but twice. She saw him twice
on the Sunday. On Saturday evening she let him
in about leilf-past aix' and went and told his wife
that he had come, when the latter replied that she
was glad ef it. They had no quarrel that witness
heard of, but in the morning the wife told witness
that they had had a little quarrelling riming the
night, and that he had taken a razor to cut her
threat. She said that if he meant to do so. he
might as well do so at first as last. He then
told her that he was only jekieg, and wanted to
frOiten her, when she said that she was not
frightened at anything. He had complained of
her conduct. There were other ledgers
in the house—a widow named Jones, a
widower named East, (the man who is. said
to be the cause of the deceased's jea-
and a woman named Bromwich. Deceased
had never threatens d to injure his wife, nor did he
ever strike her Witn,ss had no positive proof
that Mr•. Osborne gave him rea.s et to believe that
her conduct was improper. From what witness
knew, she had seen Eist and Mrs Osb 'rue go out
very of en. It was East',, child that they were
keeping, and it di-d la,t Friday. East and Mrs.
Osborne used to take their meal together, and she
had said that .he was fonder of him thin her own
hus,,and. On the night when the affair happened
East had no gone out more than two mii,utes.
aitiorne had told his wit', that if she did not live
with him no other man should hive her. He wag
very little at home—on Saturdays coining at five
o'cleck and going hack at ten, and scarcely at all
on Sundays. He worked at the gas works, Bow,
and his wife refused to live there.

Mary East.. the sister of East, said that she lodged
at 15, Pembroke-street, and her brother occupied
a room on the second floor back. She was at home
on Sunday evening last, and saw the comme.mce-
mtnt of the attacktipon Mrs. Osborne by her hu•-
baud. Wanes.; was sitting in the ki'ellen, and hal
been all day. He clamed himself, and said ht! was
going to Somers-to ,n. He had his breakfast, and

went to Somers-town, returning at a quarter to
four. He then had his dinner, but he was not
sober ; his wife was in the kitchen at the time, bur
be laid asleep on diet sofa. Af or dinner he laid
down his head ou the 'ab:e and went to sleep ; he
woke about half-past five. He asked his wife to get.
the tea, and she replied she would get it scaan. He got
up then, and went out of the house ; t here was no
quarr:-.lling etwe n them a, thattime. He returned
about. a qu ‘r er to six, and wen: to a cupboard, his
wile bung in the kitchen, after which ho l oo came
into the kite en. He said to btr, " Have you
had your tea, Nance ?" and she sail " Yes, I have."
He then said "That shall ba the la,t you shall ever
have," and she said " The same to you." He had
noling in his hand at the time ; he spoke vary
angi ily. Witness said, " Pray, Smith (one of his
aliases), don't talk like that," and he said "I'm
if I don't do for her before I go back to
Bow to-night." His wife made no remark. She
was perfectly sober, but he was not quite sober.
Witness never Faw him worse in liquor. She asked
him why he went out before he had any tea ? and
he said he could see that she did not want him to
have any tea. She made no reply, and he left the
kitchen. Witness was afraid that there was going to
be a quarrel, and begged his wife to say nothing
to hEw. The latter r,plied, "Oh, if ho is going
do it, let him do it if he illus." Witness arose and
met him at the kitchen door—he had the chopper
in his hand. She said, " Oh, pray don't, Smith ;"
and he took her up in his arms and threw her against
the parlour door, saying, " You have nothing to do
with it."

( he witness here swooned away, and had to be
removed from the table, attended by a medical
gentleman.)
M. Richardson, surgeon, said he was called in
about a quarter to 7 o'clock, and found the man
quite de d. He had ex ainioed the body of tie de
ceased, and found a wound about six inches in
length, which included the carotid artery, and was
quite sufliciect to cause des h.
Mary Oswald, the wife of John Oswald, a black-
smith, residing near LJieliton Buzzard—The de-
c-ased was her son. When he was a little bey he
had the brain fever, and had never been since what
he was before. When he was grown up he had the
fever again, which affected his head very bat He
was in hospi al for it some weeks. He was suddenly
taken, when at work at Farringdou, in ;he coup ry,
as if not right in his mind, and was moved to the
infirmary. He complained of noises in the head.
Site never saw hitn iutoxivat,d. He had been mar-
tied nine years. He bad never been confined in a
lunatic a'.ylum f. 'r the complaint.
The wane East, having recovered from the
swoon, c intinhed her evidence—Site said when
Osborne threw her against the parlour do .r
she fell on the floor. On getting up he held
the billbo; k over lair saying, " 'Tis wthi ng to you."
He tli n took hid of his wife by ihe hair t.f the '
bead and stru kh r with the chopp,r. Witness
then rail out of the front, door to call assis ance,
and did not see him cut his throat. Toere was no-
thing whatever that happened either on Saturday
night or Sunday to provoke biro. Witness was with
them up to 11. o'clock on Saturday. They had some
quarrelling. He cud he 11,..d heard ag+ eat deal ab .ut
b.r. He did tot threaten her ; he told her that
she had been "great." witit Ea t, and she owned
that she had. He 'hen asked for a reason why she
wa to I to have East instead of hi iiself. Her
answer was, " B cause she like d him better." She
exa,perated him vi ry much, ;:nd said that as soon
as the child was buried she would go and live wit h
East altegetber. (This was East's child, that had
died ou the previous Friday). He did not threaten
her in witness's presence, but he threatexed her on
the Saturday night.
The Coroner here stopped the case, and said there
really was no use in pushing the matter further, as
they were not trying a question of adultery, but
whether the man was labouring under a delusion
respecting his wife's immorality, and it appeared be
was labouring under no delusion at all, for the wife
confessed it. His mother had shown that he was
affec ed in his head from early childhood, and was
jut such a man as an affair of kind would be
likely to drive insane. It was his opinion that the
poir fell...whad become irresponsible for his actions,
on account of the rumours he had heard abouttie
v g
his
wife, and her open dectiration to him tutnhial,ti,
she
her guilt to
is
in-
tended as soon as she could to leave him and go
with East;
st;i he woman, in an
aeby
lmanner,enad acknowledged
n o doubt at all about the matter. Mary
East had given her evidence very fairly, consider-
ing the parties involved ; and it appeared to him
one of the clearest cases he ever knew.
Tae jury immed:ately returned a verdict that the
decealad laid destroyed himself while in an unsound
state of mind, and the proceedings terminated.
Tuere is ev-ry probability of the recovery of Mrs.
Osborne, notwiihstandiug the severe injuries she
has received,
