POLICE INTELLIGENCE--May 14.

CLERKENWE L L.—THE LATE ATTEMPTED
MURDER AND BURGLARY AT ISLlNGTON.—Frede-
rick Strugnell, a butcher, who stands enlarged with
feloniously cutting and wounding Mary Ann Red-
kison, with intent to murder her ; and George
Quilter, and Wm. Linner charged with being con-
cerned with him in the committal of the assault,
and further, with feloniously stealing a box and
the sum of £lO5, the property and moneys of Mr.
George Higgins, butcher, of 47, Chapel-street,
Liverpool-road, on the 21st ult., were again placed
at the bar before Mr. Barker, for re-examination.
The avenues of the court were, long before the
usual hour appointed for the commencement of the
ordinary business, crowded to excess, and the ex-
itement against the prisoners has not in the least
abated. When the prisoners were placed in the
dock they seemed to treat the matter with the
greatest indifference, and did not pay the least
attention to what was going on. Daring the pro-
ceedings the prisoners were smiling at some of
their companions at the rear of the dock. It
may be stated that the poor girl who has every
attention paid to her at the Royal Free Hos-
pital, appears very cheerful. She has been re-
moved to a separate ward, and a nurse is up with
her night and day. The subscription which is
being got up for the unfortunate female is progres-
sing very satisfactorily, and a large sum is now in
the hands of the committee for her use.

Inspector Judge, N division, who has charge of
the case, handed in the following certificate :
" Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road,
May 14.
" I hereby certify that Mary Ann Redkison is
daily improving, bnt I do not consider she will be
sufficiently recovered to give evidence under a fort-
night.
" J. D. HILL, Resident Surgeon."
Under these circumstances he (Mr. Judge) did
not intend to offer any further evidence to-day, but
would simply ask for a further remand. The
officers, Pomplain 315 N, and Waters 56 N, have
not as yet succeeded in recovering the box,
although they have been very diligent in their en-
deavours to do so, and they have traced it to more
than one house.

Mr. Beard and Mr. Lewis, who attended for the
prisoners, said they had no objection to a further
remand, and were pleased to hear that the injured
female was out of danger.
Mr. Barker again remanded the prisoners pro
forma for a week.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—CURIOUS AFFI-
LIATION CASE.—William Henry Bromhall, a valet
in the service of Lord Dungliv, son of the Earl of
Home, 6, Grosvenor-square, was summoned to
show cause why he should not be adjudged the
father of the illegitimate child of Mary Holland, a
single young woman, residing at 11, Haddon-street,
Regent-street.
Two summonses had been issued, and the de-
fendant was to have appeared lalt Saturday, but did
not, the reason assigned being that he was with
the family in Scotland. Upon this Mr. Lewis, of
Ely-place, who appeared on that day on his behalf,
obtained an adjournment, to afford the time that
was necessary for his return to London.
Mr. Wontner now appeared for the complainant,
but still the defendant did not come forward, and
his contempt of Court was shown in the fact of one
of the witnesses deposing that he had seen him
three•quarters of an hour before, when he declared
he should not come up.
On this statement, the hearing proceeded in his
absence, on Shannessy, the warrant officer, prov-
ing service of the summonses.
Mr. Wontner, in a feeling manner, having ex-
posed the heartless conduct of the defendant, who
now shirked from making his appearance, informed
the Court that the complainant had come expressly
from Birmingham to attend her case. The defen-
dant and the complainant had got acquainted
through formerly being together in the service of
an honourable baronet. After this she entered
the service of the Earl of Ellesmere, and he that of
Lord Dangles, and then the intimacy began which
roi„itpd in the birth. of the CLAW. ghP was now
driven to the Court to obtain an order of affiliation
on the defendant.

Mr. Wontner then read certain letters of invita-
tion to the complainant from the defendant, both
to the town residence of the Earl in Grosvegor-
square, and to Brighton, while there with the
family. In the first of these he speaks of the
" many little indulgences she had allowed him,"
and says he should be "ungrateful" not to inquire
after her. In another letter, dated Grosvenor-
square, he says, " I'm off to morrow, but shall be
shortly in town, and shall be glad to see you." And
soon after a letter of invitation was sent, in which he
says if she can come it will be very agreeable. This
was accepted, and produced the present result.
Henry Merritt, coachman to Sir George Chet-
wynde, proved the defendant had often told him
he had been intimate with Mary Holland, the
complainant. •
The complainant proved the birth of her female
child on the 9th of February last, and that the in-
timacy which led to its birth took place on May
the 14th last year, at the house
i in Grosvenor-
square, when the porter let her n, and again in
June, when Eliza Cook, the housemaid, opened the
door to her. Similar intimacy took place with the
defendant on a subsequent date. She had been ac-
quainted with him five years.
Shaw, the hall porter, and Eliza Cook, the house-
maid, proved letting in young women to the house
in Grosvenor-square, and their being alone with
the defendant whom they came to see, and that one
of these resembled the complainant. This the
housemaid said she did several times. Sometimes
he said " Not at home," and then she denied him.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the case had been proved
against the defendant with all reasonable certainty;
he should, therefore, make,the order for 2s. 6d. per
week and full costs, together with two guineas as
fee for the complainant's solicitor.
Half the amount of this fee Mr. Wontner gene-
rously ham:ed to the complainant.

LAMBETH,—THE FATAL FIGHT AT NORWOOD.
—Henry Wright, a gardener, who has been out on
bail to answer a charge of having caused the death
rencontre, attended of Thomas Hall in a pugilistic

before the Hon. G. C. Nel ton, in discharge ol" his
recognisances to be finally examined on the charge.
It will be recollected that the cause for quarrel
between the prisoner and deceased was of Cvery
trivial character, and that the former had used
every means in his power to avoid the fight, but the
latter insisted upon it. They went into a field on
the evening of that day, yesterday week, and in
the fourth round the deceased was knocked down
and instantly became insensible, and never spoke
afterwards. He was trundled home to the house
of his brother in a barrow, and died at one o'clock
on the following morning.
Mr. Webster, a surgeon at Norwood, said be
made a post-mortem examination of the body of the
deceased, and on opening the head found a quantity
of extravasated blood on the left side of the brain,
occasioned by the rupture of a blood-vessel, and
which was the cause of death.

The prisoner said the-account given by the
witnesses of the unfortunate affair was perfectly
true, that ho had done everything in his power to
avoid the fight, and was truly sorry for the result.
Mr. Norton committed him to take his trial on
a charge of manslaughter at the next assizes for
the county of Surrey, but admitted him to bail in
the interim.
