Mrs. Haines being now fortunately out of danger, although in such a state of debility as to be scarcely able to leave her room. The evidence of the injured woman's husband, and of the police and others, was again taken at length, and several new points elicited; the most important were, that for the purpose of fixing the identity of the prisoner as being on the premises, the constable produced a hat which had been found near Mrs. Haines s cottage, and that the prisoner had frequently exclaimed, when asked what his motives could be for making such a murderous attack upon a woman with whom he had been always on the most friendly terms—" She knows the reason herself, I did it for to have revenge and satisfaction;" and also that he said to the husband, " I intended doing this the night before, and would have done so most assuredly had you not come twine so soon." The evidence of the surgeon who attended her was taken at considerable length, and it appeared from it that Mrs. Haines had received no less than five incised wounds, as well as several wounds on the head, and further that for a considerable time after the injuries had been inflicted he entertained serious apprehensions of ber death. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said lie should reserve it for the present,, and complained that he was unable to procure professional assistance, and that it' sent for trial at the present sessions at the Old,Builey. he would labour under the same disadvantage. He maintained the utmost apparent indifference during; the whole of the investigation, and showed considerable tact in cross-examining the witnesses.
