Baker, 108 E, deposed, that being on duty in Buckeridge-street, St. Giles s, that morning, he heard cries of "murder!" and. thg violent screaming of a woman proceed from a house there he.h4s.tened to the place whence they_proceeded, a back room in an upper story. When he •entered the apartment he saw two women and the prisoner there. The prisoner, on seeing witness immediately attempted to conceal a lump of pewter beneath his dress, and to remove a pan which had been on the fire, and in which were particles of pewter pots, some of them in a liquid and part in a solid state. The prosecutrix was screaming, and showed witness two cuts on her „throat. and pointed out a knife which lay on the floor, and with which she declared the prisoner had attempted to cut it. The prisoner immediately rushed upon her, and, before witness could secure him, struck her two violent blows on the breast and kicked her.  Mary Anne M'Evoy, aged eighteen, deposed that she resided in the same house with the prisoner. On that morning he was beating the woman with whom he cohabited in a very brutal manner. She interfered, fearing he would murder her, but the prisoner knocked her down, kicked her on the side, which was quite black, and so sore that she could not touch it. Lie then fastened his teeth in her head, and inflicted a severe wound upon it. (The girl exposed the wound). She arose from the ground, and cried out " murder!" upon which ho seized a knife that lay on the table, and, throwing one of his arms round. her neck, so as to pull back her head, drew the knife (which was produced) twice across her throat—the knife being very blunt did not • cut deep, and she was endeavouring to withdraw her.--elf from his grasp when the constable arrived. The prisoner refused to give any accoent of how he came by the pewter. The girl, he said, had attempted to cut her throat, and lie prevented her. Mr. COMBE said he would send him for two months to the House of Correction and hard labour, for the possession of the stolen property. At the termination Of his imprisonment, the 'proseetitrix must again came forward, and the prisoner Would then be dealt with for the attack upon her. The prcrecutrix, crying, declared she was in danger of her life from the prisoner's asseciates, who had thratened to. murder her. ,  . Mr. CONDE ordered warrants to be issued against the parties. • Peter Jowett, a spruce-looking young fellow, was charged with being riotous, and ringing the bell at the house of Mr. Bowna, a surgeon, residing at No. 12 Charterhouse-square. It appearld from the evidence that Mr. Bowna has a pretty servant-girl, to whom the prisoner has been for some time paying his addresses. On the previous evening he adjourned from a public-house to the front of the complainant's resi-dence, to which he laid siege, very vigorously knocking at the door and ringing the bell, so as to disturb and alarm all the inmates, particularly " Mary," who felt quite abashed at these violent and uncouth demonstrations of the affection of her admirer. Remanstrance was useless—he must see " Mary ;" but " Mary" would not see him, so he was formally introduced to a police-constable, who conducted: him to the station-house.  The prisoner, whose subdued and sheepish look fully ex, emplified the words of the. Irish song-" Love so hot will soon grow cool again,"  declared he was very sorry for wliat had taken place. Mr. CoMaE fined him IL, or three weeks' imprisonment. Mr. Etowna—l am authorised by the girl to pay the fine, whatever it is.  Mr.
