Effects £68 0s. 6d.1746 Morning Post Thu 26 Nov 1874 police intelligence Page 6 Article MARYLEBONE. George Morwarty, aged 40, described as a slater, who said he had no home, was placed in the dock charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with being drunk in the police-court. He was further charged with being disorderly in Grotto passage and Paradise-street. The prisoner has been charged at this court between 30 and 40 times, and has been sent to different asylums as a lunatic, but has managed to escape on three or four occassions. About three weeks ago he was charged with drunkenness and fined, and as he could not pay the fine he was sent to prison. Several times he has been sent from this court to the Marylebone Workhouse, but they only keep him confined for about a week, and there is no doubt that if he is not confined he will stab some person or other, as he has been charged with violent assaults, and has also threatened the police. Police-constable Stephen Sheaf, 7 D Reserve, said that on Tuesday afternoon, about half-past three, he was at the corner of Paradise-street, High-street, Marylebone, when he saw the prisoner coming from the direction of this court, and on coming up to witness he said he had been turned out to get a witness. He went down High-street, and in a few minutes he returned, having a white-handled knife in his hand, saying This is my witness. He then walked through Grotto-passage into the court, and knowing his dangerous character witness followed him. As soon as he entered the court Anstead, the gaoler, shut the wicket leading to the entrance of the court, and asked him what he required. He produced a pawnbroker's duplicate, and Anstead asked him for his witness, and he then flourished the knife, the blade being open, and it was a mercy that Anstead was not stabbed. Witness then caught him by the arm, and, with the assistance of Police-constable Fagan, 6-*, D, the knife was taken from his hand, and he was conveyed to the Marylebone-lane Police station, where he was locked up. Anstead, the gaoler, said the prisoner entered the court the previous afternoon, and seeing him in an excited state he asked him what he wanted, and he produced a pawnbroker's duplicate for the magistrate to sign. He told the prisoner that he must get a witness, and he then left the court, but returned in a short time and again produced the duplicate. He asked him for his witness. and he then flourished the knife, which was open. In answer to the magistrate, Anstead said he was certain that the prisoner, if he were not confined, would do serious injury to somebody or other, and he (witness) believed that he went from the court and purchased the knife for the purpose of stabbing some one. Sheaf, the first witness, said that after tbe prisoner was taken to the station he made inquiries, and found that the prisoner had bought the knife at the shop of Mr. Drabble, in High-street, Marylebone, after leaving the court. The prisoner here became very violent, and asked not to be sent to an asylum. He commenced to bite his hat into pieces, and became in such a state that he was con-veyed, by the assistance of several officers, to the charge-room, Mr. D'Eyncourt stating that he would send the prisoner to Colney Hatch after receiving the medical certificate. Mr. Tubbs, the relieving overseer for Marylebone, attended, and said that the prisoner was well known in the workhouse, and had been confined in different asylums. He had been discharged because he recovered so well after treatment that no magistrate could comnit him as a lunatic. Mr. D'Eyncourt said if the prisoner was not confined he would be committing murder, and it was a mercy that he did not stab some one on Tuesday. He (the magistrate) should certainly, after receivirg the medical certificate send the prisoner to Colney Hatch. Mr. Tubbs said the whole of the asylums were, full, and he could not be admitted. Mr. D'Eyncourt then committed the prisoner to the workhouse previous to his removal to the asylum. Prisoner was then taken to the workhouse, and he was no sooner placed in the room than he attempted to jump through the window, and had got bill way through when he was captured by the constables. | ||||||||||||
