Orr's Kentish Journal, 6 September 1862.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

The young woman, Shepherd, attended again last Friday at the Police Court, upon the frequently remanded charge of attempting to murder George Drury Austin, a potman at the "Wellesley Arms," Woolwich, with whom she lived as his wife. Drury having recovered sufficiently to be removed from Guy’s Hospital to give his evidence, did so, the prisoner appearing much affected during the time. She was committed to take her trial at the coming sessions at the Old Bailey.
