where Murray lived. On approaching the spot,, he saw the wo-
man Donovan hanging by her hands from a mall balcony on the
first floor, and the prisoner in the act of chopping at her fingers
and arms with a case knife, as if to force her from her hold, in
which he at length succeeded, and she fell on the pavement bleat-
ing profusely. The watchman sprang his rattle for assistance,
and succeeded, though with considerable difficulty, in securing the
prisoner, and conveying him to the Foundling watchhouse. The
unfortunate woman was taken to Mr. Macdonnel's, in Gray'e-
Inn-lane-road, and from thence to Middlesex Hospital, whims she
was first considered to be in a very dangerous state, it tieing ascer-
tained, that in addition to the lacerations in her hands,end arms,
she had received two cuts or stabs in the left thigh. She was
now, however, considered out of all immediate danger, but was
unable to attend at the office.

declared her intention not to appear
,against him.

serape, and he hoped it would operate as a warning to him in fu-
ture. He should require him to give twenty-four hours' notice
of good bail to keep the peace to the unfortunate woman in future.
