IN RE T. G. GABRIEL.

This bankrupt was described as of Midford place and
London•street, Tottenham-court-road, and to-day was
appointed for his last examination, but no accounts
having Leen filed, and there having been a previous ad-
journment, the case was adjourned sine die, with leave
for bankrupt to apply, previously paving the costs into
court, which, however, would probably be allowed to
him if the accounts were fi:ed without unnecessary delay
and were satisfactory.

POLICE INTFJ.T.TGENCE.—(This Day..

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEUALlt.—Robert Fuller
was charged with committing a violent assault on a
widow named Taylor, under the following circum-
stances :

Elizabeth Taylor said that she resided in Han way-
yard, Soho, and that on Saturday evening the prisoner,
who had been drinking, after abusing her daughter,
with whom he lived, and making use of the grossest ex-
pressions towards her, struck her a violent blow, knock-
ing her into a chair, and rendering her insensible. She
expostulated with him on his conduct, when he seized a
ohair with which he gave her (prosecutrix) a violent blow
on the back. He then seized her arm, and pinched it
till it was black and blue, bit her finger in a very violent
manner, and gave her several severe blows on
the head. He then seized the fire shovel, with which
he attempted to strike her, but a younger daughter pre•
vented him. He then caught hold of her by the throat
and tried to choke her.

A daughter of the prosecutrix confirmed her mother's
evidence.

A constable said, hearing cries of murder and police,
he went to the prosecutrix's assistance. The prisoner
had a shovel in his hand. The younger female's face
was covered-with blood.

Prisoner said be had been drinking and that the female
had seized him by the hair of his head. Sbe was always
doing it. Once she had stabbed him, at another time
bruised his head.

Mr. Birgham said it was strange, if he was treated
in the manner ha stated, he did not run away—
he should have thought any man would have
done so. However, it was the mother who was now the
injured party, and for the brutal asiault he had com-
tnittod on her, he should fine him 3/., or two months,
with bard labour.
