MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STABBING.—Wm. Marks, a painter, of No. 4,
Warren-street, Fitzroy-square, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting James Mur-
dock, of No. 19, Warren-street, by stabbing him in
the left arm.

James Murdock, a baker, said—On Saturday
night I went to put the prisoner out of my father's
room, at No. 4, Warren-street, as he was disturbing
the old people, when he said he had more right there
than I had. I went to put him out, and a struggle
took place between us, and he caught hold of my
throat, and held me down, hurting my throat. I
got up, and the prisoner then stabbed me in the
arm.

[A certificate was handed to the magistrate,
signed by the house surgeon at the University Hos-
pital, stating that the complainant had been stabbed
in the arm.]
By Mr. Tyrwhitt—l did not see what the pri-
soner did it with. I afterwards went for a con-
stable, and gave the prisoner in charge, and then
went to the University College Hospital and had
my arm attended to. The prisoner was only three
parts sober.
By the Prisoner—lt was between twelve and one
o'clock. You said of my sister, " There's that
in the streets drunk." My mother did not say you
had been out with my sister all the evening.
_ .

By Mr. Tyrwhitt—The prisoner is no relation.
He is acquainted with my sister.
Prisoner--I live with the family. Did you not
say you would throw me down stairs and break my
neck ?

Complainant—No.
Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the prisoner)--I see no answer
to your stabbing the complainant. You will be re-
manded for a week to see what becomes of the
wound. It may turn out perhaps to be very
serious.

STREET OUTRAGE.—Wm. Davis, a paperhanger,
of 18, Fladborne-street, Chelsea, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Caroline Howell, of
2, Lancashire-court, Bond-street.
The complainant said—l was coming down
Oxford-street on Saturday, having walked a little in
advance of a friend who stopped to speak to a
friend of his, when the prisoner came up to me and
said something very wrong. I told him if he did
not go ou somebody would give him something, and
he replied " I will," and immediately gave me a
blow in the eye, and he then struck me again on
the arm, and I fell, hurting my back. lam all
over bruises like this (showing the magistrate her
arm badly bruised). I fell from the effects of the
second blow.

John Ogilvie said—l was stopped in Oxford-
street to speak to a friend, the complainant, who
had been in my company, walking on a little way.
Shortly afterwards I saw the complainant on the
ground, and the prisoner holding her. I tried to
rescue her, and three or four young men, no doubt
the prisoner's companions, came up and struck me.
I called " police," and gave the prisoner Into
custody.
Prisoner—l don't think I could have struck her.
Witness—But she has a proof of it.
Francis Moore, G 3 C—Hearing a cry of " Police "
I went up, and the last witness gave the prisoner
into custody. I took the prisoner, who had been
drinking a little, but knew what he was about, but
was very violent, into custody.
Prisoner—l know nothing about it. I had been
with some friends, and had a glass.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Women are not to be exposed to
insult, and then knocked down in the street. I
shall commit you for a month, and that with hard
labour ; and I do not know that I ought not to send
you for two months.
