POLICE IN7'ELLIGENCE This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHARGE OF STABBING.—Joseph Smith, a tailor,
living in Little Newport-street, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with stabbing a yoing woman named
Caroline Adams, living in Charles-street, Drury-
lane.

The Prosecutrix said—Last Saturday night,
shortly after 12, I went with three other females,
and a man, into a fish shop, in Whitcomb-street,
Leicester-square. The prisoner was sitting
there, having some supper, and a friend
of mine, who was pregnant, leant upon
me, and took a piece of the prisoner's fish. Upon
this the prisoner deliberately took up his knife and
stabbed me in the ear. The wound bled a great
deal, and I went to the Charing-cross Hospital and
had it dressed. I put up toy hand and it went
against the knife, and was cut. A soldier who was
present went out and brought in a constable, and I
gave the prisoner into custody. In striking me the
earring was knocked out of my ear and I lost it, and
also my muff.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—Are you to go to the hospital ?
Prosecutrix—Yes, when I leave here.
Sergeant John Page, 26 C, said—l was called on
Saturday night to a fish shop in Whitcomb-street
and the prisoner was given into my custoiy for
stabbing the prosecutrix. I found the prosecutrix
bleeding from a wound on the left ear, the cartilage
of the ear being severed. The prisoner said it wag
done by accident in defending himself. The pro•
secutrix was quite sober, bat the prisoner was
under the influence of liquor.
The prisoner—I had my knife in my hand, and
in resisting the female taking my fish the prosectl-
trix's ear was cut, butt it was an accident.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did the persons in the shop saY
anything?

Sergeant Pope—Yes, they said the prisoner
ought to be ashamed of himsJlf for using a knife.
The prisoner called a witness, a tailor named
John Nidd, living in Broad-street, Golden-square►
who said—While having some fish on Saturday
night with the prisoner, the prosecutrix and some Of
her companions came in and sat along with them•
One of the females took a piece of the prisoner's
fish, and I could see that the females were all bent
on mischief. The prisoner said the female should
not take his fish, and in preventing her taking
it the prosecutrix's ear was cut. The persona
who kept the shop were always complaining 0f
the prosecutrix and her companions, as they always
made a great disturbance.

Mr. Tyrwhitt--The keeper of the shop could
turn the persons out, but there was no reason will
the prosecutrix should have her ear cut. Ido 11()
ti
know the effect of the stab at present, and the pri-
soner will be remanded for a week.
