AII'EMPT ro 11011 AND MURDER.

On 'Tuesday night, bet teen nine anti ten o'clock,
the following tlespetate occurrence tpuk place on
the premises of Mr. La [loop, of Yotk-idarv,
Mile-end-toad :—On that night the family of Mr
La Hoop had, as is their custom, retired to rest
at an early hour, Soon after nine, however,
they and the whole neighbottrhood, were distnrhed
by a voice which seemed to proceed from a paisage
between the flower and cabbage-gardens, where
Evans, Mr. La If.)op's gardeoer, Was arcnstomed
to lay np his tittustl,. The illness of the master of
the itonst, prevented him from personally !Wert ain-
hig the cause u. the dist,' b-oice, Init his friends
proceeded to the spot, and saw EVaos ing"on the
ground without motion or sense. 1.1i3 head was
bleeding nrofikcly, anf! upon a chaser examination
three of big ribs %Atte !mind to have been broken.
*A spade, the weapon with which the viol-nce was
committed, lay on the ground close to him ; it
was stained with blood, and the paisage between

the gardens, woich is long and narrow, bore
the appearance of being the scene of 3 violent
strug!..le. Upon a wootkii paling, it hide interven-
ed between the gardens were the toqrks of feet,
and in a small building appropriated to the gar•
dentin implentents, &e. tvds lotind his desk broken
open, front which his papers and toOla seemed to
haste been throvin upon the ground. In a few
hours the gardener was ablelo ntemtion the fol.
lowing circumstanre :—He had just returneei from
the cabbage-garden, .nut was in the act of fasten-
ing the d. or, when he saw it bundle of plants lying
in -the p4ss..;ze, ,A [licit he knew he had not placed
there himself. Ile was confirmed in his suspicion

that snmethllugwastvt ong upon hearing t he breath of
smile concealed person, who appeared to be much
agitated. lie pit.hed at the dnor of the tool-
house, hut met with resistance. He called upon
the person within to come forward, hitt:the door
still was closed. " Then," said he, cc bring
p.o forward, " and stooped down to look -for
some means of attack or defence. At that
moment a Mall Intro from the tool house, end,
swearing he- would beat his brains out, •mall
di blow at him with a spade. The- blow broke
his riha, but still he struggled with the .rut.
&go, ho again struck hint with the - spade.--
The contest was of course unequal, the gardener
fell back ,vards, but providentially staggered against
a door at the side of the garden, which flew open
and presented to the view of his assailant two or
three houses, which appeared to be inhabited. The
fear of detection prevented him trout putting the
threat which he made at Avery blow he struck into
execution. Immediately before the occurrence
two or three men were seen by the neighbours
Cunning across the fields behind the gardens with
great speed.

A:MOO:GUS AfitAULT.—As two respectable fe-
males were on Tuesday evening. about seven
o'clock, walking along Elizabeth-street, Ken-
nington, they were attacked byone of those mon-
sters who are a disgrace to the name of men, who
after tearing the clothes of one of the Ladies in*
most indelicate manner, was proceeding to take
other liberties, when he was alarmed by the ap-
proach of * Gentleman, who was drawn to the
spot by the cries of the women. He immediately
'made off across the fields. The Gentleman pur-
sued him, but unfortunately lop him
,in the dark-
ness of ie night. The Lady who was thus bru-
tally-attacked was much agitated at the time, but
happily received no serious injury. _
