A Pus Of Gegrri.it FILSALZW.—Ann POMO, of
Portland, was semmoned by Harriett Orme for an
amminit on Ole. 4. There Wee a ereareumrsons in this
atm.—Mr. Howard appeared for Peens —Harriet Crum
said on the day in question she was pieklag up sinders,
thrown oat from the saw-mill. Ann Potreo mune out
of her house and called her all sons of ill hornet With-
out her saying a word to her. Pearce threw cinders at
her, and go • pier* oat of one of her fingers and
noratehed her la the arm. Abe (Croon) should not have
takes any patios of her unless Pearce had arreanited her
on the Bth. On that day Pearce carne out of her hones
win and sidled her all aorta of filthy name& Neither
of them had any business at the saw-mills. When
going into the house POUVO capsized the Whet with
the tinders in it. Bhe bad hold of her (Croat) and tore
the jacket off her beck, and tore the hair from her
heed, so that she had not beim well since. [Jacket and
look of hair triumphantly produeed.] Pewee then
followed her into her bonze and dragged her about the
holm —Crose-exemined by Mr. Howard: She w.s
obliged to summon the defendant before because she
had horse-whipped her. She (Cross) did not um the
word "bitch ;" she did not remember it. She did not
throw any clinkers at Mrs. Pearce. She caught hold of
Mrs. Pearee'e bonnet in self-defenee. She " never
*peeks" to Mrs. Pearce when she passes. When she

ehild and • horse in the one. She (Mrs. Cross) had
been obliged to leave her bons* in consequence of defen-
dant's conduct.—Mrs. Cross said she had • witness, but
he would not some unless he was summoned.
Howard said it was a woman's quarrel, and be believed
that after they had heard the evidence on the part of
Mrs. Potreo they would be warranted in dismissing the
summons it was somewhat remarkable that in all
was of semalt where women were ooseerned, the come
plainest was generally "as quiet as • lamb," and what
she did was merely in self defence. He had winnow*
to prove that his client had been assaulted. The Bench
dismissed the two oases, characterising the conduct of
both as discreditable, and hoped that as they were now
living at different points of the Inland, the Bench would
bear no more of their quarrels.
