The Attempted Matricide.--Mrs. Bosley, the colored woman who was recently cut down with an ax by her daughter, in Elizabeth street, was able to appear in Court yesterday, although still very weak. Her daughter, and Elijah Martin, the colored fellow who is charged with being the instigator of the crime, were brought before Justice Brennan for examination. Mrs. Bosley made an affidavit charging her daughter and Martin with the attempt to murder her. The examination will be continued today.
