GUILDHALL.

Phabe Ales, who was charged at this 01lice about a month ago
with stabbing her husband, and has been detained in the Compter
ever since tin his life should be pronounced out of danger, was yes-
terday brought up before the sitting Magistrate, Alderman Maionar.
John Allen, the husband, appeared to be in a very weakly state,
with his left arm-still in a sling, and was obliged to sit the whole
time he was giving his evidence. The prisoner, on the contrary,
seemed a robust healthy woman, and exhibited towards bins no
other feeling throughout than that of rancorous resentment.
The husband stated that he was waiter at the Horse-shoe and
Star public•house, in the court of that name in Fleet-street; that
his wife did not reside with him, but had been charing at the house
during the week; that she had frequently conducted herself towards
hint with great violence, and that on the morning of the 20th of
September (when this occurrence took place), between eight and
nine o'cloc::, as he was cleaning the bar windows, she threw an
open knife at him, and With such force, that though by bobbing his
head It missed him, it went through the window, and almost to the
bottom of the Court.

Prisoner-I'll4es false, for the window don't open.
He proceeded—When he had finished, he went into the tap-room
to take his breakfast. She came in and took op a knife—
Plisoner—That's false, for I was cutting bread and butter at
the time.

Witness cordt.nued—She had been cutting the bread and butter.
and made a stab at me with the knife; but my fellow-servant
caught her arms and held her.

Prisoner—Oh ! you false wretch, he was not there at the time.
Witness-h—Thitiking her temper had turned, he then let her loose;
upon which she again caught up the knit:, and exclaiming, " Now
I'll do for you," stabbed the knife at him with her whole force,
and if he had not held up his arm, it must have entered his body :
he received a very deep wound in his arm, seven or eight inches
in length.

Prisoner—That's because they opened it at the Hospital. •
The witness said he had been confined a month to-morrow; and
had only been pronounced out of danger this day or two.
Mr. Alderman Mactray—Had you had no previous quarrel?
Witness—Oh yes, many Sir; but not that day. Shy gets drunk,
and makes away with my things, and has distressed rue very much.
I inarikd her six years ago. I did not know much about ber, but
she turnerrout .o be an abandoned characur.

Prisoner.—You false wretch, you! I was in a good place when
you married me.
Mr. Alderman MACINAY.—Was she in liquor at this time ?
Witness.—No, Sir; she bad not been drinking that morning.

William Smith, the porter, confirmed this statement.
Mr. Tanner, a dresser in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, deposed
to the nature of t'he wound, which might, he said, have occasioned
death. The main artery of the arm was divided, and ocher prin-
cipal vessels injured.
The prisoner put in a written paper as ber defence, which she
said she had taken advice upon, and desired might be read. It
be-
g.mn by stating, that she had always done her duty to her husband,
during the six years she had been married to him, and assisted to"
gala thrir livelihood by honest employment. That he, on the con-
trary, bad formed bad connexions, and had even injured her health;
that she was in bed when she heard him send the man up to call
Ann, the servant. That she asked him for ss. the sum the slagis-
trate had ordered him to allow her weekly ; and that he made an-
swer, that he had none for her ; that Ann was going to leave her
place, and that be should go and spend a week or a fornight in the
country with her. This provoked her; she forgot the knife, and
struck him, and she did not know. that she had the knife in her
hand till she saw him bleed; and this she alarmed was the true state
of the circumstances.

Allen, the husband, declared this statement was altogether false;
that she had often threatened to murder him, and still, he heard,
prolested the same disposition.—She was fully committed, under
Lord Ellenborough's Act, for the cai.itil felony.

Yesterday Louisa Evans and Mary Sgaith, two females of the
lowest description, were brought before G. B. AIINSUCIA, Esq. on
a charge of stealing a 0 bank-note front the person of Al r. Chas.
Trufort, a respectable shoemaker, re,ltling in the City-road, whom
they had inveigled into their lodgings while in a state of intoxica-
tion, and when nearly senseless from the elects of the potent liba-
tions be had swallowed, they contrived to possess themselves of
the note in question, and also of a bunch of keys. On coming to
himself, he discovered his loss, and inunt•diately opplied to the
watch, who after much difficulty succeeded in taking the prisoners;
but on searching them, neither the note nor keys were found.—
They were remanded.

Willson Lewis, a well-dressed young man, who on Tuesday last
was charged by Willism Gregory, upholsterer, 145, High Holborn,
with stealing from his shop a large piece of fine sail-cloth, above 100
yards, and who was remanded till yesterday, NVZS brought up fur
further examination.

The reluctance evinced by Mr. Gregory (who, together with his
shopman, was examined) in giving his testimony, called forth the
repeated rebukes of Mr. CONANT, the presiding Magistrate, who
told him his conduct wai most improper.
He was fully committed, and thy pArties bound over to prosecute.

A charge was preferred in behalf of Julia Larment, a little girl
between eleven and twelve years of age, against the conductors of
a most revectable boarding-school, at Clapham-rise, k, pt by three
young Lades. The parents of the little girl are suppohed to be in
Wince, and have not, for some time, remitted any money for the
maintenance of the Child, in consequence of which she had been
ordered to walk in the garden, perform menial offices in the house,
and was not allowed to associate with the other scholars. On Sun-
days, when the boarders were taken to church she was generally
locked up in the water-closet, and kept there for hours without
food. The defendant's Selicitor here asked the girl if she had not
been confined there for bring a thief ? The reply was, only for steal-
ing victuals. In defence it was alleged, that the girl was perverse
and disobedient, but the charge of ill-treatment was denied. The
parties were held to bail to answer the charge at the Sessions.

Tueiday forenoon, as the Highland Lad steam-boat was
leaving Dumbarton, the engineer found considerable
difficulty in setting the machinery, which is on a new
principle, to work. At last, it set-to unexpectedly, and
being off his guard, the engineer by some means became
entangled with it, and had.his arm dreadfully lacerated
and the bones shattered. He was taken to Greenock,
where the part of the limb was amputated, and he is
fast recovering.
A son of that excellent actor, KNIGHT, of Drury-Lane
Theatre, has " taken to the Stage," and has been per-
forming at several of oar Provincial Theatres. Young
KNIGHT is so extremely like his father in voice, face,
person, and manner, as to have realised some of the in-
cideats in the Comedy of Errors. At the Margate
Theatre, where they played together in. the Rivals, this
similarity created much surprise and amusement. The
