PROOF OF AFFECTION.
‘William Buikte, aged 21 years,
was < pitaßy indicted f.r assaulting
Leah Warren, by cutting her throat
with a razor, with intent to kill am!
murder tier. In a second count he
was charged with intending to disable
her; and in a third couni to do her
some grievous bodily harm.
Tiie prisoner was attired in a blue
aurtout —He is wliat is called a ‘pretty
fellow,’ witSi light hair, small and reg
ular features, and rosy cheeks.
The female whom he was char ed
with atleinpiing to inurd r is a prett
interesting girl, about 18 years of age,
ami vv s attired in a very been mm,;,
manner.
Mr. Maltby, the counsel fur the pro
sedition, said that it w\s nis duty
bring before the Court and Jut*}- to
f ts of this most painful and distres
sing case. The prisoner was cliarg
ed with attempting to murder a yooiit,
w>man of the name of Le .h VVarrm.
the. and lighter of a builder and brick
layer, residing at liradw 11 Ash, m
that county. The prisoner vv as in
the employment of the father of thei
girl, and paid his addresses to her.
Pie vious to Mi( healmas last, sue was
pursuaded by some of her relatives
to discontinue Ins addresses. He was
exceedingly distressed at this deter
min at ion on her par ; and having seen
the young woman with a other young
mao, some few days afterwards, be
was driven to a state ot dis ruction,
and attempted to put an end to his
life ny hanging hunselt. On tiie 7tli
oi June last, the prisoner saw me
young woman at her farther‘s house,
and lie proposed to renew his add res -
ses to her. She declined, and on the
9th of June, he saw her walking wnh
a voting man named Eli Hunt. It
was at lhat moment, in ail prohdUili
ty, that he first contemplated the i
commission of the crime that had
brought him to the bar where lie was
standing. On the same night he met
the young woman, and ask’ and her to
go with him to a place three miles off;,
and when she declined, he requested
her to go into a field close by in win h
there was a pond. Sue refused to g>*
with him, and lie seized her by the
head, pulled her by the bonnet sir ngs
tight under her throat, threw herd wn
upon her buck, and cut her throat
with a knife. He got uj and ran
way as soon as he had perpetrated the
d-.id; she found the blood trh kiing
from her throat, and made the best <l
her way to her aunt‘s and a medii ai
man was sent for immediately, hue
it firmed her un le and aunt where
the > s ault was committed; ami on a
seer ! being made near the spot, the

flictetf the wound. he bLole <>t which
was bloody. w„s found. V* iien Use

trite, he voluntarily made a state
meat, which would be proved in e\i
dti e, ..s l ulows:—

I’heJory would soe that this case

i trn-d on S turday (tne case of Woi.
.Vi il.) o t;.,s case there was an ap
1 p rem mot ve iu the jealousy nd

rejet ti in of l;s addresses. He (the
learned counsel) would not. attempt
to reas-rn up'io tin-facts, hut would
roo ed to pr >ve loem by his witness
es; ad iu* should leave it to the Jury
to il.-cide if Ihe intention of the jins
oner was not to murder or to disable,
or to do the young worn .in some griev
ous bodily harm; if such was their
opinion, they womd frul him guilty.
