VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A WOMAN.

Luke Walton, g carter, was charged for having committed a
violent assault on a woman named Mary Johnston. Mr. Bluck
defended. The complainant's face and head seemed to have
suffered much. It appeared that on Thursday evening last
the woman was passing along Frederick-street, when she saw
the prisoner striking her sister ; she interfered, when he
struck her violent blows on the face and head, with a chain
black-band, inflicting s eribus wounds. In reply to Mr. Bluck
the woman said she did not know the prisoner, nor did she
know what he was beating her sister for. The sister of the
complainant said she was passing along the street, when she
saw the prisoner beating another woman, and she begged him
to desist, when he did so, but attacked her, and struck her
with the chain acr•;ss the face, blackening her eye. The woman
whom the prisoner was beating first was produced, and she
proved the assault also. Mr. Bluck called some witnesses,
who said some women had collected and would have killed the
Man, so that he only acted in self-defence. It was stated that
the whole row arose in consequence of the ill-conduct of the
prisoner's wife, who is now in jail, and who, according to one
of the bridewell-keepers, should never be .out of it ! Mr.
Raffles did net think the prisoner should have used such vio-
lence, no matter what his wife had done. He directed the
doctor who attended the woman to be sent for, and the
prisoner was remanded. At a later period of the day a sur-
geon stated that the woman was much injured on the face,
head, and ribs, all of which were bruised very much, and a
wound on the skull down to the bone, was at one time dange-
rous, but is not so now. Mr. Raffles said the case was so
serious he would send the prisoner for trial. Mr. Bluck: Will
you take bail ? Yes ; two in £2O each.
AN ARTFUL YOUNG FEMALE DODGER.

Anne Carrick, a peculiar looking girl, about 18 years of age,
was brought up by Detective-officer Rigby on the following
charges ;---Mr. Bluck appeared for her. Theofficer said, I re-
' ceived information that several children who had been sent to the
Provident Society, Queen-square, for money, by their parents,
had been robbed by a female, and I was on the look out,, and
from a description I got of her, watched. the square on Satur-
day, along with one of the children who had been robbed, and
after some time I saw her, and at once recogniied her from
the description given of her. On taking her into custody she
became outrageous, and said she was a reepectable girl, that
her father was a foreman in some house, and her brother in
another. I got several of the children who were robbed, and
placed the prisoner amongst several other females, and they at
once recognised her as the girl who robbed them. An intelli-
gent gift, named Jane Cumming, said I was sent by ray mother
from Dukinfleld-street to the Provident Society, in Queen-
square, with a card for le. 2d., which I got. When I came out I
met the prisoner, who asked my name, and I told her. She then
said she knew my mother, and said I was to go to a big house
of a message to my aunt, and that she would keep my money
and card, for fear any one would take it. I refused to give
the money, but she took it and ran away. In reply to Mr.
Bluck, the girl swore positively to the prisoner. Another fine
intelligent child, named Elizabeth Jones, who lives with her
parents in Roscoe-lane, proved that the prisoner robbed her of
2s. in Renshaw-street, where she was sent for flour by her
mother. This girl, in answer to Mr. Bluck, also swore to the
identity of the prisoner. Mr. Blehoe said he had upwards of
twelve cases more against the prisoner; but Mr. Raffles said
he was quite satisfied with the evidence.. Mr. Bluck said tie
only que
otion was as to the identity of the prisoner. Mr.
guilty, which she did, and was
Raines was quite satisfied on.that point. Mr. muck then
advised his client to plead
sentenced to three montks' hard labour.

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE CLOSING OF THE MARKETS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES.

SIR, —I am quite aware that many objections may be
raised against the position which I maintain on this
subject; but my object is simply to:place before the
public the inevitable results that must spring from a
continuance of the present plan. In a commercial point,
I think I have shown that it is an injury to two great
classes of the people—the vendors and the working
classes, and it certainly must reach the corporate pro-
perty if further persisted in. In a social and moral
point, it must work badly, and this is a deep considera-
tion. Mechanics and labourers go to the markets on
Saturday nights to purchase necessaries. These are
the great emporiums which supply their wants.
St. James' at the south, St. Martin's at the north, and
St. John's, the great central market, justly the pride (as
a market) Of the North of England. These are established
institutions, and people are used to them. A mechanic
and his wife go to one of these on flattirday night, because
they know they can suit themselYeS with anything that
their purse is capable of purchasing—beef, tution, pork;
veal, ham, poultry, Esh, vegetables, butter,
fact, everything. The closing of the markets at ten Wit
almost necessarily drive the purchaser to as many shoPg
outside as there are articles mentioned above, before
what is necessary can be had. This will lead to a loss
of tithe; and you may depend it will lead to the dram-
shop also ; for our people are not above temptation of
that kind, when wandering atiotit ott Saturday night
with a trifle of money in 'their pockets; looking into
butchers' and bakers', and grocers' and othet provision
shops, before they can suit themselves. In the markets;
all things may be found within the four walls. The
purchase made, the parties return home ; but if obliged
to seek elsewhere for their proviiions, the scene will be
different. If public-houses are closed, cellars, houses
in back and other passages, will soon be found (despite
the efforts of the police) to supply and entice the
wanderer about the streets (in search of butchers'
or other shops that may keep open all night) with
liquor ; and the result of this need not further be
'alluded to. This will follow, as the night the day, to
the destruction and demoralisation of families. Are we
a more moral and religious people than those of London
and other large towns ? And yet in London and maul
other towns, markets are opened from six o'clock in the
morning till nine on the Sunday, in order to' accommo-
date the populace. If the Corporation allow the mar;
kets here to open for three hours on Sunday rifoiningi
by all means close them at ten o'clock on SatirclaY.
night ; but I am of opinion that the one hour on Satat-
day night will do more good, and is certainly ten times'
more seeming, and a, hundred times less objectionable'
than a Sabbath morning traffic of any kind. Sunday
morning business will very soon be resorted to in Liverpool,
if the one hour be taken off the Saturday night—there
is no alternative—one of the two- things must take places
for the people must have their wants supplied. I shall
urge no more at present, but remain your obedient ser-
vant, R.
