POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day).

MARYLEBONE.

THE MURDER IN THE HA.RPSTRAD ROAD. Car•
nelius Denny was placed at the bare in accordance
with the remand, charged with the murder of Gallo
Benzonelli.

It will be recollected that on the night of Saturday,
the 22d inst., the prisoner, Cornelius Denny, went into
the shop of Joseph Baretta, coulee inner, 17, Adam's-
row, Hampstead-road, in company with some other per-
sons, and requested to be served with some ginger beer,
This request was complied with, after which Denny lay
down on a form and went to sleep. At about three in
the morning the deceased, who was in the employ of
Mr. Baretta, woke him up, when an altercation ensued,
and in the struggle Denny stabbed the unfortunate man
in the abdomen with a clasp knife. The wounded man
was taken into the University College Hospital, where
he died on Thursday last.
Francis Julian Hanley, 366 S, said he attended at
the hospital and took the depositions of the injured man,
as follows :

"My name is Gallo Benzonelli. I reside at 17,
Hampstead-road. The prisoner before me is the man
that stabbed me. He came into the shop at twelve,
midnight, and ordered three bottles of ginger beer, and
then fell asleep. He slept till three in the morning.
I awoke him, and asked him to go out. Oa my doing
so he struck me in the face. I defended myself, and
struck Lim in return. He then took out a knife
and stabbed me. Itnrned;ately I discovered I was
stabbed I returned int) the shop. I told the boy, who is
called Cresar, that I was stabbed, and that I should soon
die. Some one called a policeman, who placed me in a
cab, and I was c.inveyed here."
Witness said after taking the deposition in French, he
translated it to Denny, who said, " All I have. to say is,
I am guilty ; but I did not stab him in the shop, I stabbed
him on the pavement." Denny asked deceased if he would
shake hands with him, as he was sorry. Deceased said,
" Yes, but it is no good. You have brought me here.
I will shake hands with you, and forgive you, if God
will."

Mr. Vincent Jackson, a surgeon, said when deceased
was a knitted into the hospital there was an incised
wound in the abdomen, inflicted by some sharp instru-
ment. Six inches of the gut were protruding, which he
replaced without making a further incision. hflamma-
don supervened, and he dted on Tuesiay from perito-
nitis, caused, as was proved by a post mnrtem examina-
tion, by injuries to tha peritoneum, the effect of a
wound.

Sergeant Edwards, 21 S, and Francis Leverett, 68 S,
gave evidence to show that on going to the shop he
found deceased and Denny struggling on the pavement.
Denny was removed by force, and deceased was found
to be bleeding profusely.
. . .

Other evidenea having been given, and the depositions
having been signed, the prisoner WM fully committed
fur trial for wilful murder.
