to go to his employment, and about nine, applicant
was called in, and found the woman in her; parlour
bleeding from a terrible gash in the throat. He had
her conveyed to the hospital immediately.
Mr. COMM said he could not see in what manner
he was called upon to interfere.
Long wanted to know what be was to do with the
room in which she committed the act, which was co
vered with blood. _ _ _

Mr. CoMBE ordered him to lock it up until the hus-
band's return.

The applicant thanked the Worthy Magislate and
left the Court.

[The Reporter ascertained that the woman is sup-
posed to have committed the act in her own room on
the second floor, as there is a large pool of blood there
and a razor dyed with blood lying beside it. It would
seem that she regretted the act soon after its execu-
tion, for she put a wet towel to the wound, and then,
strange to say, walked down stairs to the parlour on
the ground floor, which she entered. A woman who
was sitting there was horror-3truck on seeing the
gaping wound from which the blood was flowing; the
unfortunate creature staggered and fell, but was
placed in a chair and removed to the hospital. Her
name is Maria Nave, and she is about twenty-eight
of age. She has no children. Late yesterday even-
ing the Reporter called at the Royal Free Hospital,
and was informed that she was still alive, in fnll pos-
session of her intellects, but in great pain. She had
expressed her contrition for the crime, and a clergy-
man was obtained at her request. Her recovery was
considered hopeless.]
John Jones was charged with being concerned in
stealing a gold watch, a gold chain, two gold seals,
and a ring, the property of Mrs. Louisa Barnechini,
landladyofthe Hole-in-the-Wall public-house, Kirby
street, Hatton-garden.
The prisoner and three others-went into the house
of the prosccutrix on the previous day and called for
some drink. The jewellery was lying on a desk be-
hind the bar, which had been left unattended for a
few minutes. Immediately on the departure of the
prisoners the property was missed.. Jones, who is an
idle disorderly character, was arrested in the evening
by Martin, police-constable 144 G. When the pri-
soner was apprehended he said he had attempted to
destroy himself at London-bridge on Sunday evening,
and that he would do for himself to-night.--Re-
manded. _ _

OUTIUGEOUS CONDUCT.—SIX labourers in Mr.
Barlow's brick-fields, White Conduit-flelds, five of
them named White, and a sixth named Pearson, were
charged with assaults of a very aggravated character,
on Mr. William Dennis, and on Mr. J. Price, builders,
residing at Twyford Villa, Caledonian-road, Is-
lington.
Mr. Price's face was bruised in a shocking manner;
one of his eyes was quite closed up, his head was
bandaged in consequence of the wounds which .had
been inflicted on it by his brutal assailants.
It appeared from the evidence, which was very
voluminous, that on the previous day a little boy, in
crossing the brick-fields, disturbed some of the sand
'which had been prepared by the prisoners. One of
them; John White, followed the lad, and because he
refused to return with them beat him cruelly, dashing
him against the ground with all his strength. Mr.
Dennis, seeing that the poor. lad was' fainting from
the ill-treatment, told White to desist, but White
immediately struck Mr. Dennis .on the, breast, and
knocked him down. Mr. Price ran to the assistance
of Mr. Dennis, but the other prisoners, and several
other of their fellow-labourers, nut in custody,
came running across the field in a body. They
immediately attacked the prosecutors. Mr. Den-
nis received a blow on the head which rendered
him senseless, and three or four other very severe
hlows.on the chest. On recovering somewhat he ran
into his own house, whicl-4 was hard by, but had no
sooner reached it than his wife cried out " Oh, for
God's sake go back, they are murdering poor Price."
He returned with a stick, and saw five or six men
beating Mr. Price, who was lying on the ground
bleeding profusely from several wounds on the head.
John White was crying out " Give it to the b—," and
" Give me a knife and Twill soon knife him." A
police sergeant came up; and Mr: Price was removed
into his house, in a state of insensibility.
Mr. GREENWOOD expressed his determination to
send the prisoners for trial, and depositions were ac-
cordingly taken down. The case was, however, re-
manded for the attendance of the boy, who it is hoped
will come forward.
Two dissipated looking young men, named Henry and
William Garden, were charged with the folloWing
rageous conduct.
. A decent-looking poor woman and her husband, re-
siding in' Milfield-place, Stoke Newington, were return-
ing hoine about twelve o'clock last night along the
Lower-road. The wife caught hold of her husband's
arm .to lean upon it. He in sport shook her off, telling
her she had walked by herself all day, and must do so
-then. At this moment the prisoners came up and made
use of the grossest and most offensive language towards
the couple.: The complainant desired them to go away,
but they struckthem knocked the woman down, and
kicked ber on the breast., The husband came to her
assistance, and him too the prisoners felled to the ground,
and treated him very roughly. Walker, 88 N, and several
civilians came up, and the prisoners were with much
'difficulty secured.
Two gentlemen named Laing and Grontage, who'sVit-
.nessed the occurrence, came forward and described the
prisoners' conduct as very brutal.
The complainant, when asked if he could account for
the conduct of the prisoners, said the only reason he
could assign was that they entertained. an old grudge
against him on account of his resisting them in an at-
tempt to rescue a prisoner from the police twelve months
ugo.
The defence set up by the prisoners was that the male
complainant struck their father; but. on investigating
this allegation Mr. CONBE said that he believed it to
be altogether a
