Considerable excitement was caused on Sunday inkhe East-end of the metropolis by a desperate attenti,t at murder and suicide. A young man named Charles Gobey had been living with a gill, named 111ary Ann Chambers, at 12, Schoolhouse-lane, Stepney. In rebruar3- last she gave birth to a child, and subsequently, in consequence of the constant cruel treatment she experienced from Gobey, she left him and went back to live with her mother, taking the child with her, at Upper Cornwallstreet, St. George's-in-the-East. One day 'last week Gobey called to see her, but was told that she was out ; and the man was afterwards beard to threaten that he "would knife his old woman" if she did not return and live with him. On Sunday morning, at a little after ten o'clock, Gobey again went to the mother's house and asked Mrs. Chambers to persuade her laughter to return home with him. She replied that she would not do so ; and at that moment a married daughter of Mrs. Chambers entered the room with Gobey's child in her arms. He at once seized hold of the child and endeavoured to cut its throat with a clasp knife ; but the woman succeeded in preventing him from effecting his purpose. Unfortunately the girl Mary Anne then made her appearance, when Gobey rushed at her and stabbed her twice in the breast. He then went into the back kitchen, and, standing opposite a looking-glass, commenced hacking at his own throat. Meanwhile a policeman and a doctor had been sent for, and Gobey was secured and removed to the London Hospital on a stretcher, where be now lies in a precarious state. The injuries sustained by the young woman, although severe, are not considered to be.*of a dangerous description.
