MALICIOUS STABBING.

TVoodger Was indicted for maliciously stab-
bing Elizabeth, his wife, with a case-knife, at
Offitam, on the 20th of March.

It appeared, from die evidence of a young wo-
man, named Fanny Kettle, and James Nurrell,
that the prisoner and his wife, who are both la-
bouring people, had been marl ied about a twelve-
month, and dining that time had lived together
upon very unhappy terms. About II in the
evening of the day mentioned in the indictment,
the prisoner returned home from a public-house
ar Town-mailing, in a state of intoxication. His
wife, who bad been to her uncle's in the same
frla e, returned in a few minutes after him with
her baby in her arms, and complained that she
wanted food for herself and child. The prisoner
hegaiv to abuse her in violent language, which
,Wki6 answered by the wife in terms equally pio-
yoking. He threw her on die floor, and in ihe
sttuggie which she afterwards made to get up, he
seized a case•knife and inflicted a slight wound
upon her left breast. The husband then left her,
and returned home agaio about three in the morn-
ing. Nothing was applied to her wound : no sur-
gical aid was called in, and when she saw a sur-
geon two days afterwards he thought the injury
so slight as to require none of his assistance. It
was stared by the witness Nurrell, that he had
reason to suspect that the wife was unfaithful to
her husband's bed, and he swore that he did not
sec any wound inflicted.
The Learned Baron, doubting whether be could
examine the wife as a witness to support the in-
dictment, conferred with Mr. Justice Park, who
being of opinion that she might be examined,
she was accordingly put into the witness-box.
After undergoing it strict examination by the
Learned Judge, she prevaricated and contradict-
ed het self in several particulars. She was
contradicted in part of her statement by the
gaoler. From the whole tenour of her evidence,
at appeared that she had instituted this latoer.eding
