MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN GOODMAN'S FIELDS.—On 'Wednesday a dreadful and deliberate mur ) their arms,  The . men  der was perpetrated npOn a married female, named Catherine .Mobbs, aged forty-six, by her husband, Nathaniel Mobbs, • aged forty.three, a _ wine _ cooper and porter, re siding at 'Goodman's-fields, Minories, who afterwards cut his own throat with a table-knife. Mobbs had been in the service of Messrs. Walter Howell and Hale, wholesale wine merchants, but for some time past he has been leading a life of dissipation, and while intoxicated he would return home in a state of excitement, and cruelly ill-treat his wife. They had a family of four children, two boys and two girls, the eldest being about ten years of age. Mobbs went out in the morning, and returned about halfpast one in the afternoon, apparently quite sober, and told the children to go out and play, About three o'clock one of the landlord's daughters, who was sitting in the front parlour, heard a cry of " Murder," which was accompanied by a desperate struggling noise in the first floor room. The girl went on to the stairs to listen, when she met Mrs. Mobbs rushing down with a frightful wound in the front of her neck. Her hands were covered with blood, and her dress was also saturated with gore. Mrs. Mobbs reached the front of the house, and fell on to the stone pavement, where several neighbours, who had 'been attracted to the spot, raised her up, and placed her in a chair, while several persons ran for medical assistance. By this time a young man, named John Readen, came to the house and was asked by one of the family to go uP stairs, and see where Mobbs was. The man was lying in a corner of the room, with a severe wound in the throat. There were two knives, besmeared with blood, lying on the table, and a piece of grindstone, on which Mobbs had sharpened the weapons. The room was in a state of great confusion, as if the deceased and the wretched man had struggled together for several minutes. Two medical gentlemen were soon in attendance, and no time was lost by them in temporarily dressing their wounds, after which they were conveyed to the London Hospital ; but the female expired as she was being taken into the surgery. The man was sensible. As he was being carried to the cab he exclaimed, " I did it, I did it." Mobbs, who was a most desperate character, and was called in the neighbourhood, among the lower class of persons, " General Haynau," is in a fair way of recovery.
