UNIoN-Hm.t..—On Monday Hugb Evcnit was
.charged, before ThotviAs EvANcE. and -11.AL.F.H.
SMITH, Esquires, on the oaths of Elizabeth Pal-
mer and John-Hubbard, with having, on the even-
ing of the zoth day of, December last, most. wil-
fully and maliciously cut and maimed the said Eli-
zabeth Palmer and John Hubbard.
It was proved that the poor girl, who was talk-
ing with her sweet-heart, Hubbard, was stabbed in
'. five different places in her body, her head cut on
each temple, her neck, her lip, her face and her
arms were cut, and altogether so bad as to:preSent
a most shocking spectacle. Her companion was ra-
ther worse cut, and•they were both sent to thefins-
pital, from whence they with much difficult); made
their way on Monday .to the Office to "'take-their
complaint

it appeared that the only provrication
daring outtage, araSe from the following'. very in 7
nocent circumstance on the part of the Prosecutors.
They were standing in conversation together, when
seeing three persons about a shop window in Tooley_
street, they. viewed them, as the villains thought,
too closely. One, %vita.; theyalledge.to be the Pri-
soner, Evans, crossed over and demanded with
horrid imprecations to know " rtvho they was nosing
at ?" viz. " why they looked them ?" Thiat
question was accompanied by a blow, which it ap.
geared afterwards was done b.y a knife ; the girl
calling out for assistance; she was also assaulted and
cut,' the whole three men coining over, and cutting
the poor defenceless creatures in a most horrid way,
leaving them weltering in their blood; the humanity
of the persons who came up superseded their vigi-
lance, the assassins escaping while they were en.
deavouring to stop the bleeding from their wounds ;
not being able to succeed in that, they were very
properly conveyed to the Hospital, where they had
every possible care taken of them.
The most diligent exertions, although no reward.
was offered, have ever since been made by the Po-
lice Officers, to take the cowardly assassins. On
Friday night two men were taken, supposed to be
concerned, whose names are Joseph Augur's' and
George "Hatton,, by Collingbourn and Smith, at-
tempting to rob a Bart, and not being in any mea.
sureahle to account for theii appearance or•conduet,.
committed under. the Police Ad for the sessions, •
On Sunday night Collingbourn an.l Leckie, two
of the Officers, having. received information that
Evans was secreted in a house near the .Obelisk,
they repaired thither, and, after breaking the door
open, and a desperate struggle, got their man,
and him away. When they
had hint in custody,
he attempted to escape, and it was not till a cut-
lass passed very close to his body, and other Wea_
promise to be quiet—such was his
pons were presented, that he was induced to beg
for mercy and
:desperatecondud.
rfhe'evidetice against him being clear, and his
person fully identified, he was committed for
der a la teStatute which•now makes it a capital offence.
