Alexander Lovey, a working gunsmith, was placed at
the bar bcfore Mr. I ammill, charged with cutting and
wounding his wife, Charlotte Lovey, with intent to
murder her.
Samuel Taylor, street-keeper of Whitechapel, stated
that, while on duty in High-street, between six and
seven o'clock on the preceding evening, he saw a gen-
tleman advancing towards him, supporting a woman,
who was grasping the right side, of her neck with her
hands, through the fingers of which the blood was
streaming down upon her clothes, which were completely
saturated. On questioning her as to the cause of the
injury, she told him that it had been inflicted by her
husband; and he, therefore, immediately directed Ser-
geant Barnes, who was passing at the time, to proceed to
the house she indicated and tae him into custody, whilst
the witness procured a cab, in which the wounded woman
was removed to the hospital.
A lad named John Woolcott stated that he had been
for four years in the service of the prisoner, who lived
in Boar's Head-yard, Whitechapal, and that he and his
wife had lived upon very unhappy terms for a consider-
able time past. An altercation of a serious tleccription

ensue-] between them on the preceding morning, at ;*
termination of which the prisoner's wife sharpened
small table-knife, with the expressed intention of cutting
her own throat, hut was dissuadel from it by ber hus-
band, who took the knife from her, and she soon after-
wards left the, home. On her return home in there ven-
ing the prisoner told her that he hoped they wou live
more comfortably together in future, and went oat for
some wine, with which be came back, and after partaking
been
of a portion of it, she apprised him that she bad
to the Thames Police-court, to obtain a warrant against
him, and that she intended to renew her application
on the following morning. The prisoner, who vvr‘
cooking someting at the fire, and had a knife
his hand, upon that became much excited, and in.
stantly stabbed her in the neck, with the exclamation
that she meant to swear his life away. The wifl started
from the chair on which she was sitting, the blood pour.
ing profusely from her throat, and rushed down litnt,r4,
screaming " Murder," and witness followed her ill
the street, where a geatleman caught her in his arms $
she was in the net of falling, and assisted her to a en':
goon's in the neighbourhoed, who directed her
at
removal to the hospital. The witness added that but
niaraatiot!
wife was a very sober and well-conducted woman, "
jaten7e.
that the prisoner himself was addicted to very
rate habits, though perfeLt'y sober at the time the c'
currence took place.
Sergeant Barnes, 16 11, stated that upon reaching Pe
prisoner's home, he found him sitting at a table, eel
a slice of bread, and taking his tea in the most coearle
manner; and upon apprising him of the nature (f
charge against him, and that ho must take bin' jam cube
tody for cutting his wife's throat, he replied til
lt
knew all about it, and that he had done it with the el,
