Saturday 21 Jun 1845 (p. 4, col. 6) OCCURRENCES. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.-On the evening of Tuesday week, about half past nine o'clock, an extraordinary scene occurred in Church-street, in the city of Durham. At that hour, it appears, piercing screams were heard from the house of Mr. GOULEE, the head of the Durham Rural Police, which he was seen to enter a few minutes before in a hurried manner; after which the door was opened, and the report of a pistol was at the same time heard. A female, who was Mrs. GOULEE, rushed out and crossed the street, as if seeking refuge. She was followed by her husband, who fired another pistol at her, but happily without effect, the ball lodging in the door of the opposite house. At this moment Walter SCRUTON, Esq., solicitor, and Mr. JEPHSON, surgeon, were passing on the opposite side of the street. On hearing the shot they turned round to see what had happened, when the former gentleman was furiously attacked by GOULEE, who at the same time used (it is said) expressions which denoted that jealousy was at the bottom of this alarming outrage. Both gentlemen tried to escape by flight, but Mr. SCRUTON was overtaken by Mr. GOULEE, who beat him violently with the butt end of the pistol he held, until he was forced away by Mr. JEPHSON, and others, whom the alarm brought to the spot. Mr. SCRUTON, covered with blood, took refuge in a house, to the very door of which he was followed by GOULEE, threatening vengeance. In the meantime a Mr. SEWELL, and Mr. Thomas METCALFE, a butcher, succeeded in suddenly seizing and disarming GOULEE, with whom they proceeded towards the gaol. On reaching the gate, GOULEE getting one hand loose, contrived to draw a penknife from his pocket, with which he inflicted a deep, but not mortal, wound in his throat. On the wound being examined, he is found narrowly to have missed the carotid artery and windpipe, but is recovering. GOULEE was, on Thursday, before the Magistrates, but is remanded until his wife, whose arm is shattered by the pistol ball, can appear. Mr. GOULEE was well respected, and is a good officer. It seemed he borrowed the pistols of a gun-smith of his acquaintance, just beford [sic] the deed, in Sadler-street. As he was in the habit of using fire-arms, occasionally, no suspicion was excited by this, at the time. Since the above was written, we learn that the unfortunate woman died on Monday night, having been seized with locked jaw in consequence of the wound.
