BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Thomas laidiato, a young man about twenty years of
age, and very respectably attired, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Jardine, charged with attempting to murder
a female with whom he cohabited.
Rotert Donca, drummer in the Coldstream Guards,
deposed that last evening he was present at a concert at
the Assembly-rooms, rrinces-street, Drury-lane. The
prisoner and the yemale were part of the company. Wit-
neas heard the prisoner call the female, who,e name is
Catherine Vitch, a "street walker," to which she replied,
"If I am, you made me so." The prisoner said, angrily,
" What ?—s -yr that again." She repeated the words,
and he struck her. The female screamed out "I'm
stabbcd! I'm stabbed!" Witness ran up t.) her and
found blood issuing from a severe wound on the left
breast. The prisoner here darted out f the room and
witness followed him. While in Princes-street the
prisoner threw away the knife with which he stabbed
his victim, and witness picked it up. It was a common
table•knite.

Mr. Watson, a medical man, said it was a moat den-
geroue wound ; she was removed t,.) the hospital in a
most precarious condition. . _ .

Mr: JARDINE asked the prisoner if he had anything
say to the terious charge.
The prisoner burst into tears,';but stt'd nothing. lie
