THAMES.

FRIGHTFUL CASH OF STABRING,—JOhn Coksley, an
Irish labourer, aged 23, was brought before Mr. Selfe, on
remand, charged with cutting and wounding Bridget
Collins, his sister, and Bartholomew Collins, her husband,
while he was in a stare of intoxication.

On the prisoner being placed in the dock, it was stated
that his sister and brother-in-law, who had been grievously
wounded, were not in attendance, and would not appear
against him.

_Mr. Selfe—The man Collins was represented to me to
have beon stabbed three times, and to have been sent to the
London Hospital.

A policeman of the H division said that was so. The
man Collins was stabbed in the loft arm, on his breast, and
on his side, and after his wounds wore dressed by Mr.
Comley, a surgeon in High-street, Whitechapel, he was
sent to the hospital. He has since left the hospital, and
returned to his house.

Mr. Selfe said this was a case of a most serious na-
ture. The prisoner, inebriated, made a great disturbance,
and annoyed his sister and her husband, and when they en-
deavoured to quiet him he took up a knife, stabbed his
brother-in-law three times, and his sister once. The in-
jured parties were kind enough, and Irish enough, to for-
give the prisoner, but ho would not allow the prisoner, who
came home in the middle of the night and wounded his re-
latives without any provocation, to escape punishment. He
should act upon the evidence already heard, and convict the
prisoner. Ho was proved by the testimony of his sister to
have wounded and cut her arm with a knife. He convicted
the prisoner of an aggravated assault upon a woman, and
sentended him to two mor4hs' imprisonment and hard
labour.
