WORSHIP-STREET.

r Beijarnin Freeman, described as a fellowship porter,
who has been remanded for several weeks on a charge of
dangerously wounding a young woman named Mary
Ann Webb, by stabbing her with a knife, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Bingham for final examination.
The prosecutrix, who had been lying in a very preca-
rious state in the London Hospital ever since the occur-
renee took place, and still exhibited the appearance of
great weakness and exhaustion, was now brought to the
Court in a cab, and in direct evidence fully confirmed all
that had been stated by the police and others at the first
examination, as to the prisoner with whom she had been
living for the last three years, and by whom she had had
two children. Returning home on the night in ques-
tion in a state of ungovernable excitement from intoxi-
cation, and, without any other provocation on her part
than an apparently gentle remonstrance and declining to
eat something he had brought home for supper, suddenly
rushing at humid stabbing her in the left side with a
clasp-knife. The poor woman gave her testimony with
the greatest reluctance and the most manifest anxiety to
shield the prisoner, who, she stated, had been previously
a very sober and industrious man, and very fond of his
home, and had made feeling and constant inquiries after
her all the time she had been in the hospital.
Mr. Smith Ayerst, assistant-surgeon at the 1400 an
Hospital, described the nature of the injury the prose-
cutrix had sustained, which ha said was a penetrating
wound below the last rib, an inch and a half in depth, and
of considerable breadth, through which a portion of the
intestines had protruded I and stated that, thow-l-
had for a long time been in a dancreron. *oa she
symptoms had at length yielded condition, the
and he had now the treatment adopted,
be ' —.I, reason to believe that she might
ea out of positive danger, but that she was still
labouring under such extreme debility as in his opinion
to render it unadvisable for her to attend at the Central
Criminal Court and prosecute the prisoner upon the
charge at the present sessions.
Mr. Rolphe, assistant to Mr. Pearce, a surgeon in the
Bethnal-green-road, gave evidence nearly identical with
the preceding, and deposed to being fetched by the pri-
soner to attend the injured woman immediately after he
had stabbed her, of which fact he made a voluntary con-
fession, and expressed extreme regret for its commis-
sion ; and Long, a policeman of the K division, to
whose custody the accused quietly surrendered himself,
also said that on his doing so he was seemingly much
affected,

The prisoner, who throughout the examination eV
hibited great remorse for the consequences of
his
governable temper, when called upon to an'''vrri,-oif
charge, declared that it was wholly unaccountable
he came to commit such an act, and he coubi O rli;
imagine that it arose from his head being giddy at
be
time, which deprived him of all self-control, and duds bo
should never cease to regret his conduct as lung as
lived. od
The depositions were then taken by the s 0
clerk, and the prisoner was fully committed to NWS-
for trial.

of soliciting his advice under the following eirc

The appellant stated that he belonged to the 1;-11•si4
cutter, and for the last eleven months bad been be
off the coast of Scotland, leaving his wife, whfh'-ie re'
half his pay, in London. That whilst at Le'tbeul

leave of his commander to come to London, in °„4

accordingly came to town, On his arrival, doped
quite quite unexpected, he found that his wife bad ari. 1111°
the house where he left her, sold off the tinnaioatbi,
had gone to live under the protection of a I.oo'
tradesman, in the neighbourhood of Blackfriars-roafoct. for
he (applicant) had ocular demonstration of the, b 4 It/
he saw the parties together on the preceding 14, pith
was prevented by some of his friends, who wei-uent
him at the time, from punishing the real delinci b-i,
the way he deserved. The object, therefore, ofpits
plication was, to be informed whether the igab,
could not separate them in such a manner that so 00,1
less a woman could no longer have any claim upon
that his commander told him that the object v
accomplished before a magistrate.
,„, Mb;
Mr. COTTINGHAM said, the applicant's corn floe,
misinformed hint, and that magistrates had not the rApplt
of separating man and wife; that, however, if tilinefidel
cant's statement was correct with respect to the Da P 7„
of his wife, he was not bound to maintain her, sive!:
he would be authorised in shutting his door fa Pr,
against her. The Magistrate added that, ave.- for,l'
wife consented to a separation, he could not Inarhijilor'
he did, it would be bigamy unless he obtained a eat
in the ecclesiastical courts, and a suit of that deac s bs
s :A
was attended with such an enormous expense °I
few men could bear it. he
The applicant here produced a letter, wine" r
was written by his wife the preceding night, in "
sence of a witness who was in Court.

Mr. COTTINGHAM perused the note, an P.
expressed a wish to see applicant's wife, in order te
quaint her of the position in which she stood
gard to her husband. That
m, as he had mentioneuce,
bet
the case was not one formagisterial interferente;
under the circumstances he had no objection 400:
arrange matters between the parties, so that oir
might be informed of her exact position, and tili
had no claim upon her husband.
The applicant said she still held his nlon'-ly tt„g
and had regularly received a portion of his Pb rot
the present quarter ; that he considered she
entitled to it. vbr
Mr. COTTINGHAM said that he could easily sttieel
ment by calling at the Navy Pay-office, and reprt'"
the facts relative to his wite.
spr
A messenger having been dispatched for the mist
cant's wife, she sent word that it was not convetae-t
her to attend, ani at the same time begged that
Magistrate might be informed that she was aware 110
what had transpired, and that she should promise ad,i;et
make any claim upon her husband for the future, a
that she was perfectly happy in the change she "
of
made.
The applicant, who evinced considerable an%ietoSity
mind on the occasion, having expressed his thanks
Magistrate for the advice, then withdrew.
