SAVED BY A PIECE OF WHALEBONE.
A WOMAN STABBED,
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) Dunkdix, Monday. A case of stabbing took place this afternoon in Maclaggan street, A woman named Emily Shea entered a second-hand shop, and was followed ina few seconds by her husband, Peter John Shea, who asked her what she was doing there, at the same time producing a pen knife, and stabbing her in the abdomen.
He was about to repeat tbe blow when Hamilton, the shopkeeper, restrained him until assistance came, when Shea was given into custody. The woman wns examined by a doctor who found a wound on the left side of the abdomen. It is not considered serious, but the woman had a narrow escape, for had not the knife struck the whalebone in her corset, it would have penetrated much deeper, Shea was under the influence of drink at the time, The relations with his wife have been much strained of late.
