MARY LEBONE. Yesterday Williant Harrwood was placed at the bar, before Mr. Rawlinsou, for final examination, upon the charge of having attempted to murder his son; Arthur. aged 16, by striking him on the head with a fire-shovel. The appearance of the poor lad excited the commisseration and sympathy of all present; his head was bound round with a handkerchief, which concealed from view numerous wounds, and upon his face were several contusions; his eyes and nose were also much distigurecl, and lie was so extremely weak as to be scarcely able to stand. The worthy Magistrate therefore ordered fur him a chair, in which lie sat close to the Bench. The evidence now given, coupled with that before adduced, went to show that on Sunday, the 14th instant, some words took place between the prisoner and his son Arthur; ifiet:lplements named. In the and that in the afternoon of the same day one took up the poker and the other the tongs, but. no injury was inflicted, '‘a' it hstotohle, when the prisoner, while lie (Arthur) asleep, with his head evening, Arthur, who had been out fur a few hours, returned home, and, sitting resting was thus tying, caught op the tire-shovel, and struck him either by fattier or sou, evening, with it rep.ea:tedly On the 'head' with such force, that the shovel was nush bent by 64,e blows. A scuffle had previously occurred, in the course of which Arthur struck the prisoner, who said would have redress for it. The police upon a chair, were called in, and 01 their arrival they found Arthur in a state of insensibility, old completely smothered in blood. All that could be gatherer I from what fell from him prior to his being taken to the hospital, were the words, "Father - asleep." The prisoner stands comn:itted for trial, but will be brought up again this day, when the 'whole of the depositions will be read over.
