ATTEMPTED -MURDER THROUGH

JEALOUSY.

A young man, named Charles Peek, was taken before
Sir P. H. Dyke, chairman, and Messrs. Dashwood, Smith,
and Leven, the presiding magistrates at the Town-hall,
Dartford, on Saturday, on the charge of stabbing another
young man named Charles May, on Good Friday last, with
intent to murder him, or to do him some grievous bodily
harm. The prisoner was brought up from Maidstone gaol,
in custody of Mr. Brandon, a superintendent of the county
constabulary, where he has been remanded since the un-
fortunate occurrence, the prosecutor being so dangerously
injured as to be unable to attend to give evidence—indeed,
for some time his life was despaired of.
Mr. Gibson, a solicitor, of Dartford, attended on behalf
of the prisoner.
The charge appeared to be made under the following
circumstances :—The prisoner, who is not more than 23
years of age, is very respectably connected, his father
being a shipowner, residing at Guernsey, and he himself
being captain of a brig called the Anne, belonging to his
father. It seemed that on the day in question the pri-
soner's vessel was lying off Greenhithe, and the prisoner
was at the Hull Trader public-house, at Greenhithe,
which is kept by a person named Minter, to whose eldest
daughter the prisoner was paying his attention, and it is
said they were going to be married. The prosecutor

o
day, and it would seem that the *tuner paid a good deal
attention to Miss Minter, which annoyed the prisoner,
and he made some observations to that effect. Nothing,.
however, took place at this time, and in the course of the
afternoon the prisoner invited the two young men and
Miss Minter and another young woman to go on board
his vessel, and they did so, and afterwards rowed about
the river, and then returned to Greenhithe, where they
drank together, and during the evening an altercation took
place between the prisoner and May, and a scuffle ensued,
during which blows were struck. The prisoner, it appeared,
left the public-house about half-past nine o'clock at night
to go to his vessel, and he was followed by May and Webb,
and they began joking him upon the subject of his sweet-
heart; and the prisoner, being somewhat the worse for
liquor, answered him angrily, and at length a fight took
place between him and Al ay, but the struggle had only
lasted a short time, when the latter put his hand to his
breast and exclaimed, " I am stabbed," and instantly fell to
the ground. Assistance was procured, and he was carried
back to the public-house, and Dr. Seccomb, a medical gen-
tleman

the prisoner made the best of his way on board his vessel,
where he was taken into custody on the following morning,
and on his being taken into the room where the prosecutor
was lying, he at once identified him as the man who had
stabbed him. A search was afterwards made for the knife,
but for some time no trace of it could be found, but at
length Sergeant Hill, of the Kent eonsfabulary, upon mak
ing a close search in the prisoner's berth, found a knife con-
cealed in the wood work, completely covered with blood,
and with which no doubt the fatal injury bad been inflicted.
The prisoner was on the same day taken before Sir P. H.
Dyke, a magistrate for the county of Kent, at Dartford,
and upon evidence being given that the prosecutor was in
too dangerous a state to attend and give evidence, he was
remanded to Maidstone gaol, and on Saturday was brought
up for further examination.
Upon the prisoner being placed at the bar,
Mr. Brandon, the superintendent, put in a certificate,
a
which represented that the prosecutor was still too ill tottend, but was progressing favourably, and would probably
be able to attend in a few days and give evidence, and upon
this the superintendent asked for a further remand.
Sir P. Dyke observed that he was glad
to hear the pro-
secutor was likely to recover, but he had a most narrow
•,
the pr.]
escape, and, under the circumstances, the only course that
could be taken by the Bench was again to remand
Mr. Gibson said he did not feel that he was in a position
to offer any opposition to this proceeding on behalf of the
prisoner, and,
The Bench then directed that he should be brought up
again in a week.
