POLICE INTELLIGENCE

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Robert Benson, a genteel looking young man, was placed at
the bar, before Mr. Hall, charged with having stabbed, with a
penknife, Gearge Harrington.
The prosecutor stated that he was passing through Tavistcck-
street this morning, between two and three o'clock, with a
friend, when he saw the prisoner arid another young man talking
to two females. As the prosecutor passed, he made some
remark, and the prisoner run after him, and said,
you are one of the right sort, come and have something to
drink. He laid hold of the prosecutor by the arm and appeared
to be very drunk. The young man who was with the pri-
soner came up and took hold of the prisoner. They tried to
get into the Sheridan Knowles' Tavern, in Bridge's-street, but
they werenot admitted. The prisoner then took out a penknife
and flourished it in the air. Witness thinking this was mere brava-
vado, took no notice of it. The companion of the prisoner took hold
of him by the hand. The prisoner still flourished the knife, and
the witness, thinking that something serious might result, inter-
fered, and the prisoner immediately stabbed him in the breast.
The prisoner was given into custody, and witness went to the
hospital, where his wound was dressed. The wound was not
serious.

A witness was called, who corroborated this evidence.
The prisoner denied the charge, and said that he had
no knife in his possession, and called a young man
who was with him, who stated that the prisoner had no knife in
his possession. Witness went with the prisoner to the station-
house, but the officer would not admit him to see his friend.
He was walking away when a person called Deaf Burke came
up to him and said that the person who had been stabbed was
his friend, and if the witness would pay 5/. the matter would be
made up. Witness replied that if the prisoner thought proper
he might pay the money, and he ( witness) would go and see
him about it, but the officer would not admit him to the sta-
tion-house.

The former witness was then recalled, who persisted in
swearing that there was a knife in the hand of the prisoner
when the blow was struck.
Mr. HA LL fined the prisoner 51., or in default of payment to
be committed to prison for one month. The fine was paid.

UNION HALL.--(THIS DAY.)
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. OF AN ACTRESS.— Catherine Stanley,
an actress, was charged with attempting to drown herself in
the Thames.
A waterman stated that between two and thtee o'clock that
morning the defendant hired his boat, and wanted to be rowed
up to Battersea. As they were going alone the defendant cx.
claimed that she would drown herself, and was proceeding to
throw herself into the river, when the witness seized her by the
arm, and held her until he got ashore. He then gave her into
custody. She said that she did not intend to destroy herself,
and accounted for her being out so late by saying that she was
at a supper party. She further stated that she was a married
woman, that she was an actress, but was not living with her
husband.

The Magistrate held her to bail, and in default she was
locked up,
Margaret Jones, the woman charged on the preceding day
with stabbing her husband, was brought up, he being sufficiently'
recovered to give his evidence. In the course of the examina-
tion he said that the wound in his side was much better, and he
added that he gave his wife great provocation. The prisoner
was held to bail.
