THROWING STOIC'S tj vug PVILPC STRISTS.
Samuel Barber, a boy 13 years of lir, was es comoned
by Superintendent Caldow for throwing semen in
Silver-street, on Sunday evening, the 24th of May.
The defendant pleaded guilty to throwing one
'too'. —The superintendent staled that about a
quarter before nine o'clock on the evening of the
Sunday in question, he observed a man run into a
doorway in Silver-street and shortly afterward" be
observed the defendast who was with another boy,
throw • dose at the man. The stone bounded from
the pavement, sea struck the shutters very sear
where the man was standing. The man's name was
Wood, sad be was rather of an eccentric charecter.
He took the defendant to the station-house, where
he wive The fictitious name of Frank Pearson—The
eienllant said that Wood had run after him,
and be took up • stone and threw at bins.
'He Mad DO intention of striking him, and he
• expressed his sorrow for the offence. —Superin.
tendent Ci'ddow said if the stone had struck the man
the consequences might have been very serious, as it
was thrown with great force. Wood bad informed
him that the defendant' had been teasing him, and
be ran into Mr. Brown's doorway for protection.—
Hrs. Barber, mother of the defendant, said she had
emit her .on to chapel, and she was very sorry he
had so offended. She believed he was perfectly
sensible of the nature of the offence, and that be was
sorry for what he had done. —The Bench, in oonsi-
deratioa of the excellent character received from the
defendant's master, fined the boy ss. and the ex-
panse, or a week's imprisonment. —The mosey was

'Anetutv.—A HAPPY FAMILY.— Asa Curtis. •
marsied woman, was summoned by her sister Maria
Fosest, for assaulting her on the 23rd of May kat.—
On the occasion in question it appears thet the de-
fendant knocked at her sister's door, and made some
enquiry as to a child that had mine on a visit
from WA171611401% The complainant denied that
the child was in the house, which seems to have
been doubted by the defendant, who contradicted her
sister in language not the most bsiooming. This led
to a rather warm altercation, in the course of which,
it was asserted that the defendant applied an epithet
to the oomplainant, casting an imputation upon her
chastity. The latter became somewhat annoyed,
and she complimented the defendant in similar
terms. A little scuffle ensued, when it was stated
by the complainant that the defendant pushed her
in her own penage, a liberty which the former could
not overlook even from • aster, and she accordingly
took out • summons against her. The defendant's
husband witnemed the whole of the transaction, but
he remained a passive observer of the affair. The
complainant, in the most pathetic language, stated
to the magistrates that the only motive that actuated
her appealing to the Court was her very great
desire to have "peace." She represented herself to
be of a toast amiable disposition, and that she had
never shown any signs of disaffection towards her
sister, or had she ever neighed ber.—The de(en•
.dent, however, detailed a very different amount of
themsmplainant's behaviour than the magistrates
• received from her lips. The child from Warminster
seems to have been the oases of the quarrel, for it
was virtaed by all parties concerned in the dieter.
bases, although it was not shown whether it

Fe=nCsi an
history of the affair, the accompanied her
husband to her sister's residence, when she pat •
very peaceable inquiry to the complainant in re-
ference to the aforesaid child. The tatter then
dragged her into the house, and each entered
heartily into the quarrel. The defendant drew her
sister'sattention to the fact that she had given birth to
a couple ofthildno, although she had not entered the
matrimonial state, and this as may be supposed drew
forth a strong rejoinder in the way of a denial from
the complainant. The defendant explained to her,
from the facts she was acquainted with, that
it was of no use her denying her statement, and the
complainant flavoured her relative with other com-
plimentary impressions. The defendant, however,
persisted in denying that she had ever struck the
complainant.—The latter called a woman, named
Yates, who only spoke se to the language used on
both sides.—The mother of the parties was sworn,
and she stated that defendant called upon her, and
asked for the child. She said ohs could not tell
where it was, upon which the defendant used an
opprobious word towards her sister.—Mrs. Curtis
•oontradicted her mother's evidence, and added that
her father had taken off his coat to light her husband.
The defendant then burst into teen, and informed
the magistrates that she had been harshly treated by
her friends. The Beech were of opinion that there
were faults on both Ides, and that it was very
doubtful if an aseault had ever been committed.
They therefore dismiased the cam

Flue AT BUDIENHAN. —On Teesday evening •
serrate fire broke out in the dwelling-boom occupied
by Mr. Stratton. The house was partly thatched
and partly tiled, and it is supposed that a spark
from ooe of the chimneys alighted on the dhaMb, for
about tialtpuit seven it was diecovered to be on
fire. The news soon spread, and meisengers were
at once sent to the mat of amen' Buckley. H. P..
and Longford Chattel, for ASSOILADOe. The
engine from the Hall was first on the spot,
and soon set to work, but the supply of
water was not sufficient to enable them to
eheck the progrem of the flainea Lord Folkestone's
fire engine followed in quick snocemion, and, after a
1 little delay, commenced playing on the burning
building. The inhabitants of the village rendered
every assistance in their power, and we believe they
succeeded in mvinkthe greater part of the furniture.
In the excitement that prevailed, there was not the
greatest care Mown, but all seemed desirous of
saying as mach at they could, and, therefore, they
removed the goods with as mach speed as parable.
The Salisbury fire engine had by this time arrived,
bet water could not be obtained in sufficient
quantities to keep the engines at full work, for if
each bad been the cue the fire would have been
speedily extinguished. By the united effort' of the 1
firemen, that portion of the house roofed with tiles:
was saved, but the whole of the other premises were
destroyed. It is very fortunate that there WU not
a breath of air stirring at the time, as the bosses in ,
the village are, for the most part, roofed with '
thatch. the fire was got under about ten o'clock.
The premises we understand are humid. Saperin-
tended& Matthews, of the Wilts County Coostabo•
larv, was present with a strong body of polies, and i
good order was preserved.
