Yesterday Janscs----liaters, a watchman helonging to St. Pancras
parish, was brought before Sr Gaoaus FARIIibT charged with
stabbing with intent to kill or do some grievous bodily haws to a
woman named Leah Goldin. _ .

The complainant, who appeared in a very feeble and exhausted
state from a copious loss of blood, being sworn, gave her evidence
thus :—I live at Deer's-place, Somers Town. I live there with
a man named John Perry, who is a watchman of St. Pancras
parish. I have lived with Perry for upwards of six years, but ant
not married to him, although we were outasked at Lambeth
Church with an intentiOn of being married, but the ceremony was
never performed. I amin the habit of going every morning to
meet Perry as be leaves off duty as a watchman, and of coming
home with him. On Monday morning last, about six o'clock, I
went as usual to meet him, and saw him in the Hampstead-road
walking with the prisoner, who is also a watchman of the same
parish. Not having any very good opinion of the prisoner, I said
to Perry, •• I wonder, Perry, how you can kiell the company of
ouch a man as Waters ;" upon which the prisoner said to me—
" D— your eyes, what is the matter with my company ?" and
struck me over the bead, and kicked me violently in the back part.
Perry immediately interfered, and said that he was surprised how
the prisoner could behave so ill to me after all the kindness and
civility he experienced from us both. Some warm words then
passed between the prisoner and Perry, as we all three walked to-
wards the watchhouse, where Perry and the prisoner were going
to deposit their watch coats, &c. After they had done so, we
came away again together from the watchbouse, and words having
still passed between Perry and the prisoner about the cone
duct of the latter to me, the prisoner struck Perry, and
knocked him down and fell upon hint. I then struck the pri-
soner, and dragged him off Perry, and they both got up
The prisoner then separated from us, and walked away.• leaving
Perry and myself together. As we bad proceeded a little way to•
wards home, Perry recollected t►at be bad kit the key of our
lodgings in the pocket of his waistcoat, and we turned back again
towards the watchhouse to get it, but as we wete proceeding, the
prisoner again came in our way, and said that as we were going he
saw to the watchhouse, he would go there too. I told him that
we were not going there about him, but only to get a key that
Perry had left in his waistcoat pocket ; and on this the prisoner
once more went away. When we got to Roberts Mews, close to
the watchbouse, I sat down against a wall to rest awhile, as I had
a severe fit of coughing, to which I am subject, and Perry went
forward to get the key. While I was sitting against the wall wait-
ing the return of Perry, the prisoner again came up to me, and
taking something which I did not then see out of his jacket pocket,
be struck at me with it, and I instantly felt myself wounded in the
side. The prisoner then dashed a large knife down upon the pave.
ment, and exclaimed." D—n your eyes, there now I have done for
you, and I shall be hanged for you." I instantly called out murder
as loud as I was able, and fainted away, until I found myself re-
covered in the watchbouse, to which some men had carried me.—
The knife glanced slightly over the thick part of my right arm, and
penetrating through a thick whittle I wore at the time, through my
gown, which was lined, and through both the linen and a flannel
under garment I had on, entered the fleshy part of my breast, and
inflicted a deep wound.
The clothes worn by the prosecutrix at the time were here pro.
duced, and found to be pierced just as she had described, and utu
rated with blood.

John Perry confirmed the whole statement of the proucutrix,
up to the time that he left her sitting against the wall in Itobens
Mews. lie did not know that any thing had happened to her, he
said, until be met some men carrying her to the watchhouse as he
WAS returning to her with the key. She was then in a tainting
state' and the blood flowed copiously from her aide; but a surgeon
who had since examined the wound, pronounced that it was not
dangerous, although a very severe one.
Other -witnesses having given their evidence,
The prisoner said that be wanted time to consult with his Soli-
citor and .employ Counsel.
The Alogistrate said, that no doubt be would have sufficient time
for that purpose afforded him.
The prisoner was then fully committed on the capital charge,
and asbe was quitting the office to be locked up, in the custody of
the gaoler, he set up a loud whistle u be proceeded through the
passage.

Mr. Gedge—No, I have not, your Worship; there is nothing
In it.
" Nothing in it!" replied a respectable old gentleman who acs
companied the parties to the office, "why, you have boasted re.
peatedly in my presence that you could tate her Irons her father
whenever you pleased."
" And she bas poisoned herself this morning in consequence

HATTON—G A R DEN.
Peggy Wallach appeared to prefer a complaint against J*4g
Alley. tor maltreating her. and using her in an unmanly manner.
Peggy told her tale to the Magistrate as fallow.:
" Flaw your worships, I come to complain of the man that is
standing before yees, for hating me cruelly last Sunday. Jim as
we was gain' to sit down to a hit a dinner, Alley says to me,
' Peggy, what's the rason that I sees you an often spaking wid that
grate big red-haired county Cork man, klichal O'bricti ? .1-1,
I don't like it.' Is it nee that you mane?' says I. 'As for Mike,
I never is the one that says a word to him unless he spikes to me
first ; and if you mane to siairsawliashos I is not thrue to yees its a
burning shame ; and if I wasn't, Mike isn't the man 1 .hould take;
but if you wou'dn't be after spaking so much wid ould lOsn Ma.
earthy ',deter that keeps the !Nitta shop, I should feel more obliged
to you than taking away my Litwin in thi. way.' ' Oald lilw
Macarthy's dater, say. he, 'is it that that you're after! I neon
ehang'd a word wid her any how.' •By the billy Virgin,' says 1,
• but that's a lie, fur you slept wid her last Friday night.' He thee
got 111(411 a tearing passion. and lute me about the Mad and lat..,
and cut me lip as your Warship's sees. OW bad luck to him fie
raising his hand against a tamale; nicer again will I go itito the
same bed wid him.'

Alley, being called upon to answer to the charge, thus began—
Wid your Worship's kale I will tell. your Worship all about the
matter. Peggy bl•Cullnch and me came over from Ireland tu.
getlser as man and wife."
Alr. LAIMO—Oh : then you are not married to this woman?
Detendant—fhb ! no. your Worship. for I hadn't motley enough
to get mauled ; and Peggy vowed to he as thrue to me as any mar•
tied woman in the tree kingdoms; but I lately have seen her fra-
quently waking wid Alike Olkien, who is a brkklayer'slabourer;
dnd so I thought that I had a right—

Mr. Lantn—To knock her down.
Defendant—No, your Worship, but to postulate wid bet 'hoes
it, and to tell her I didn't like this same Mr. Mike O'Brien's way
of behaviour. Peggy then threw a piece of cabbage at me, and
called me many curious names about mild Faw Nlscarthy'. da'tsr,
and mild me not to kick up a bother all about nothing. 'By my
soul,' says I to her, ' I do not concave it I+ about nothing, Minds
Peggy ; and if I catch this Mike O'Brien coming to my place
again it wiU be worse for the pair o' ye.' Peggy then seized me by
the nose, and in the scuffle she fell down and hurt herself, as yow
Worship percavea. Arrab ! I scorn to strike a woman, and Peggy
knows shelas been telling an nutting's.
Mr. bona then ordered him to be fined 101. or imprisoned
default of payment one month.

• DREADFUL, ACClDENT.—Wednesday night, jest after
the Bristol Mail had changed horses at Speenhamland
(Newbury), and the driver and guard a ere about to
mount the coach, the animals suddenly started off at
full speed on the Reading road. There was only one
inside passenger in the coach, a Gentleman, we have
heard, connected with one of the Bristol banks, and he
being dreadfully alarmed, threw himself frmi the door
into the road. Unhappily he fell 'on his head, and re-
ceived so much •injury, that he died soon afterward'.
The horses stopped themselves a short distance from the
town, indeed before they had cleared the outskirts,'
