as created in this town on

report that an unforunate young woman, a
public-house, had been stabbed by an
Antonio Pogetto, and that her
) serious a nature that a fatal result was

sof the case are these. For a considerable time,
years we believe, the victim of this Italian's dark
lose name is Margaret Crabtree, lived in a state of
a with him. Having at length separated from him
erself as servant of the public-house named above,
_ea° sometimes visited her. On Friday morning
called at the Tontine about half-past eleven o'clock,
ving gone into a room he was waited upon by the

woman, Acisupplied him with a bottle of ginger-beel- and
two-pennyworth of rum. He wanted her to sit with him, but
she told him she had.some work to attend to, and was on the
point of leaving the room when be seized bold of her, vici-
ously scratched her face, and otherwise maltreated her. Hav-
ing called for assistance she got out of his clutches, and the
fellow left the house.
By and by he came again, and had some more ginger-beer
*.nd rum ; but this time the woman refused to serve him, or
to sit with him, although he wanted her to do so. Being
disappointed in this respect he departed a second time ; but,
after being absent a short time, he returned in-company with
a calico-printer from Crawshaw Booth, who gave the name
of Charles Holt, and again called for ginger-beer and rum.
Margaret Crabtree waited upon him this time, and on again
refusing to sit with him he seized hold of her in a demoniacal
passion, threw her on the floor, and with an old pair of com-
passes stabbed her in various parts of the body with the
utmost fury. The poor woman screamed " murder," and
assistance having been obtained the wretch was secured and
given up to the police. On being taken to the station-house
he said he was sorry he had not killed the b—h, but he would
finish her sometime, if she did not die from what he had
already done to her.

Dr. Martland was immediately sent for to the woman, and
on examining her found no lees than eight wounds in different
parts of her body, one of which was beneath her left breast.
and was of a very dangerous nature. We are, however, glad
to say that she is recovering, and when she is able to appear
the villanous fellow will be re-examined before the magis-
trates, (he was up on Saturday, and remanded,) and dealt
with, we doubt not, as his case deserves. -Blackburn. Standard.

This hazardous exposure of the susceptibilities

so unwise and dangerous a measure. It cannot for
