POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
B 011 -STR E E T.
CHARGE Or ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Sarah Thomas, who, it will be remembered, was charged
on Monday last, with attempting to cut the throat of a little
boy named John %%ilks, and was remanded in consequence of
the boy's inability to attend, was brought up to-day before
JARMINF. for re-examination. She was very clean and
neatly dre,sed, and looked much better than on a former ex-
amination.

John Wilk; examined—l am twelve years of age, and live
with my father and mother, at No. 10, Parker-street, Drury-
lane. The prisoner lives in an adjoining room. On Satur-
day, the 23d of April, about half-nast three o'clock, my
mother was out, and the prisoner asked me to fetch her half a
quartern of gin and a pint of beer, which I did. I soon
aftewards went into my mother's room, who shortly after re-
turned home. The prisoner then called me, and asked me
to mind hrr place for a minute, whilst she went out. I went
into her room for that purpose. She then told me to sit
down, which I did; she locked the door and told me to pour
out the gin. She was then drunk. I poured it out, arid she
said " Drink it." I drank some and she drank some. She
then said Pull your handkerchief off, for fear the gin
should choke you." I did so. She then gave me a halfpenny
to buy some peas-pudding. I bought some peas-pudding, and
asked her to have some, but she would not. She then got the
bread and butter out of the cupboard, and cut some for me.
As I was eating the last mouthful she called me to her. I
went towards where she was sitting, when she laid hold of me
by the shoulders, and cut me across the cheek with a razor. I
shoved her towards the fire-place, in order to get away from
her, and screamed out " Murder!" She again cut me across
the throat. when some people burst into the room, and I was
taken to a doctor's, and afterwards to King's College Hospital,
where I have been till now.
Sophia Wilks examined—l am the wife of John Wilks, who
is a labouring man ; the last witness is say son, and we reside
at No. 10, Parker-street. About half-past three o'clock in
the afternoon of Saturday, the 23d of April, I went home,
after having been out nearly all day, and I found my child sit-
ting by the fire quite intoxicated. The prisoner, who was
staged with drink, came into the room, and asked me to let
him fetch her a pint of beer. I told her he should not go. I
then lost sight of him, and about twenty minutes afterwards I
heard him screaming in the prisoner's room. I ran up stairs,
and called to him to open the door; the door was opened, and
when 1 got in, the prisoner had her left arm round his waist,
and was flourishing a razor in her right hand. The child was
bleeding very much. I fetched two doctors immediately, one
of whom sewed up the wounds in his neck. I then took him
in a cab to King's College Hospital.
Charlotte Repuke examined—l am a single woman, and
lodge with the last witness. About four o'clock on the 23d of
last month, I beard the child call out, and I ran up with Mr.
Wilks to the prisoner's roem, where, when we arrived, I saw
the prisoner with one arm round the child's waist, and hold-
ing a razor at his throat. Blood was pouring rapidly from his
neck and throat. Prisoner did not say anything at the time.
She appeared to have been drinking.
Mark Todd examined—l am a medical student and dresser
at King's College Hospital. On Saturday, 23d April, Jahn
Wilks was brought to the Hospital, and I examined him. He
bad a superficial wound two inches in length upon his throat,
gnd a similar wound upon his cheek. Neither of them were
of a dangerous character ; they appeared to have been effected
by a sharp initrutnent.
Police-constable F 43 produced the razor. He said that the
prisoner stated that she intended to murder tome 'one, but not
the boy.
This was all the evidence at present.
Mr. Burnaby said that there was a man present at the pre-
vious examination who heard the prisoner say that she would
cut the little boy's throat ; but that man was not in the Court
now.

TIIE METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS WESTWARD.
—There are many splendid squares and crescents being erected
opposite Lord Holland's Pal k, on the Uxbridge-road. Shep-
herd's Bush will soon be joined to London. Kensington New
Town, which is being built on the Earl of Harrington's pro-
perty, extending from Kensington to Old Brompton, came into
the Harrington family through the late Countess, who was
daughter and sole heiress of Sir John Flemming, of Brompton
Park. Sir John left a rent-charge on this estate for the support
of the almshouses which he founded in Cromwell-lane. There
are several widows of life-guardsmen inmates of this cha/ity.
ELOPEMENT.—The good folks of Inverness have
been thrown into some excitement by the elopement of a
young lady belonging to Invergordon, with a son of Mars.
The lady was to have been married soon to another gentleman
of the same profession, a widower; the marriage articles were
even provided, but the faithless one could got resist the charms
of the unwedded youth, and so took her route with him to Aber-
deen. On the faith of her marriage, rumour says that the lady
incurred several accounts in Inverness, and that under pro-
ceedings thereanent she has been captured at the above town.--
Ross Advertiser.

THE NEW CoRN-LAw.—Some doubt was felt at
first, whether the duty of 275. Bd., declared on the same day,
would not remain in force until a fresh declaration of the
averages and duties ; but yesterday morning it was intimated
at our Custom-house, that the nvw duties of 133. on wheat, and
on other grain in proportion, would be received. Some wheat,
we understand, was liberated at that rate of duty in the course
of the day, so that the Bill is now at work, as far as the duties
are concerned.—Liverpool Times.
TUB ROYAL GEORGE.—The operations against
this wreck, under the direction of Colonel Pasley, are to recom-
mence forthwith. Three lighters, with suitable gear, are pro-
vided for this ferric,. It is intended, if possible, to clear the
;whole of the remaining portion of this ill-fated ship during the
faseason. The process will necessarily be tedidus,
