POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL—FURTHER EXAMINATION ol' Aucorr.
—Mrs. Abbott, being sufficiently recovered from her
wounds to appear against her husband, she was brought
to this office yesterday morning, to be examined by Sir P.
LA UR lE.

She is a pretty young woman, and gave her evidence
very calMly, considering the circumstances in which she
was placed. She stated that she was married to the pri-
soner, at St. Peter's, Worcester, about eight years ago.
She could not speak much in his favour, and therefore did
not wish to speak about his former conduct. She went to
work at the public-house next door, with his permission.
He conic to her the day before the transaction, and fetched
her home ; they had a few words. He said she was
sitting too near the waiter, and listening to his conversa-
tion. She denied it, and said that the waiter had been
there that day only. He lay down on the bed in his
clothes. He had often before falsely accused her of being
intimate with other men. He then pretended to he
very kind, and she went to sleep. lie awoke her about
two o'clock in the morning, arid asked her whether she
would take is. or Ss. a week, and keep the three children,
which she said she would if he would give it her. He
then struck her a violent blow on the side, saying, " take
that." She called out " Murder !" on which he desired
her to be silent, and said " God Almighty had prevented
him from doing what he intended." lie came to her next
day when she was at work next door, and said they would
not take her at the workhouse, but wished them to live
comfortably together. He then offered her some gin in a
cup, but she thought it looked white and cloudy, and re-
fused to drink it. She did not like to sleep with him that
night, and went into the next room ; but he knocked at
the door, and told her to come in, and said she should not
go to Perry's any more. She went into her room, and
lay down in her clothes. He was very friendly for some
time ; but then suddenly laid hold of her hand, and cut her
quite across the throat with a knife. She got hold of the
knife, and cut her hand, but could not get it out of his
hand. It was quite dark. She screamed " Murder !"
and he said " Hush !" She called to Mr. Pitts, and got
out of the room, but could not tell what happened after-
wards.

Sir P. LAURIE said, in looking at the motives for an
act so monstrous and unusual, he could not help noticing,
that whenever such an atrocious deed as that of Corder's
was committed, it was followed by a number of horrible
acts, such as that of the prisoner, and those with which
the newspapers of that day teemed—he believed he had
read of two or three murders, or attempts at murder, in
them. The too great excitement of the mind respecting
such affairs as Corder's, must have its influence. With
respect to the prisoner, he should commit him for trial on
Saturday next, and the evidence would be prepared in the
meantime.- Under any circumstances, men could not be
permitted to give vent to their passions. It must be put a
stop to by every possible Means.
The prisoner was then partly removed from the bar,
but he stepped hack again to the front, and the Alderman
asked him if he wished to say any thing. The prisoner
could not open his lips, but the constable said he xvished to
shake hands with his wife. She had just risen from the
chair ; she looked upwards, and closed her eyes, and a
deathly paleness came over her face. She seemed about to
faint; but she staggered across the fluor to him, and clasping
her hand, he bowed down his head upon the bar to weep
over it. She hung her head over his, and so they re-
mained in deep but silent anguish for a minute. He then
slowly raised her bead, and they kissed each other. His
head then drooped again upon the bar to hide Ids weeping,
and she hung over him again most affectionately. So they
remained silent and motionless for two or three minutes,
till the Alderman ordered them to be separated.

BOW-STREET.—TnE LATE AccinENT EXETER-
STILE ET.-Mr. Corder, the vestry•clerk of the parish of
St. Paul's Covent-garden, waited upon Mr. Mucsitur,L,
the sitting Magistrate, to inform him, that i❑ consequence
of the precarious situation in which the adjoining houses
stood, the parish bad made considerable stir about the mat-
ter. An annoyance Jury had condemned the houses,
and therefore the slight boarding which was at first put up
at the instance of Mr. HA 1,1,5, had been made complete,
and every precaution take❑ to prevent any danger to thy
public, previous to the houses being pulled down.
Mr. AltNsitut.r. observed, that he sincerely rejoiced to
hear that the parish had taken up the matter, as he hourly
expected to hear of some accident.
Mr. Corder replied, that they should have done it be-
fore, but it had taken some tune. The necessary notices
which the law enforces on such occasions had, however,
been put up, and nothing had bee❑ left to endanger the
public.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-- George Curtis, a
young man having the appearance of a groom or stable-
man, was charged with obtaining some saddlery and har-
ness under false pretences. It was proved, that on the
evening of the 15th September, the prisoner entered the
shop of Mr. Gullock, a saddler, at 213, High Holborn ;
and representing that he was groom to Mr. Smith, of
No. 2, Raymond's-buildings, Gray's Inn, procured a set
of harness worth 4/., which he said Mr. Smith was in
want of until the following day. The prisoner not return-
ing on the following day, inquiries were made, and it was
discovered that he had not bee❑ sent by Mr. Smith, and
that he had pledged the harness with Mr. Howes, of High-
street, within an hour after he had obtained it. He called
a second time at Mr. Hon•es's shop to procure a further
advance upon the goods, and he was then taken into
custody. It also appeared, that he had obtained saddlery
to the amount of 61. from Mr. Turtle, of Queen-street,
Holborn, but who declined to prosecute the prisoner on ac-
count of the expense of prosecuting. On the 13th of Sept.
be obtained from Mr. Briggs, of Kingsgate-street, Holborn,
saddlery to the amount of 41., under the pretence that he
was sent by Mr. Leigh, of Verulam-buildings, whose
servant he said he was, and who, be said, was an old cus-
tomer of Mr. Briggs's predecessor.—He was remanded.
MARYLEBONE.—The mother of a lad of colour, and
the secretary of the central Marylebone National School,
were summoned before the sitting Magistrates, to spew
cause why the indentures of apprenticeship between the
lad and Mr. Cooper, a builder of Gloucester-place, New-
road, should not be cancelled. _ .

Mr. Cooper stated, that some time ago he assisted a
person named Goddard with money to embark in the trade
of a pawnbroker, in the neighbourhood of the Borough.
Mr. Goddard soon afterwards died, and Mr. Cooper
placed the concern under the management of a relative,
Richard Jones. Jones launched out into every kind
of extravagance at his expense, by making free with
the goods in the shop. Ile kept his lady, Miss
Baxter, in Friar.street, and was tried at the Old
Bailey, together with Baxter as an accomplice, fir
the same, and they received sentence of transportation.
While Jones was neglecting his duty in Friar-street, the lad
was serving under hire as an apprentice, and it appeared
that he was not only privy to the improper connection
which Jones had formed with the female Baxter, but be
even acted as a messenger between them, and visited them,
and after they were apprehended some property belonging
to Mr. Cooper was found in his box, which he endeavoured
to account for by saying Jones had given it to him to take
it to Miss Baxter, but he had not had an opportunity, and
therefore it was in his possession.
Mr. Cooper said he made all these circumstances known
to Sir R. Birnie as soon as he discovered them ; but as
the lad Smith was a material witness against Jones and
Baxter, Sir Richard advised him not to bring them for-
ward until after their trial; this having taken place, he
applied to the Magistrates of Union-hall, and they referred
him to those of St. Marylebone, to which parish the, ap-
prentice belonged, and he hoped they would, unless suffi-
cient cause was shown to the contrary, cancel the inden-
tures, for had the lad Smith fulfilled the covenants of
them, and made him acquainted with the conduct of Jones,
it would have saved him a thousand pounds.
Smith's mother and the secretary were very anxious that
the indentures should be fulfilled, and under the advice of
the Magistrates, who severely censured the lad, but made
allowance for his youth, and the temptation he had been
placed in, the case stands over for the parties to endeasaiur
to get him another master.
About three o'clock yesterday afternoon a rough, austere
looking man, named Harland, was placed at the bar, and
Mrs. Emma Sophia Jane Matilda Rose, of No. 14, Bry-
anstone-street, stood up to snake a charge against him.
She stated, that on Wednesday the prisoner came to her
house, and insisted on seeing all the ladies there, for be
was sure his wife who ran away was among them. Mrs.

the house morning, noon, and night, for she was secreted
in the kitchen, cellars, or elsewhere. He came again
yesterday, accompanied by Joseph Clifford, of No. 8,
Croydon-street, a constable. Mrs. Rose thinks the pri-
soner had made the constable tipsy, to suit him fur
his purpose, for the constable came in very abruptly,
and said, " you have Susanna Harland in your house."
