A FIGHT{ ABOO: •
Miss Mary Ellis, the maiiiigei or, the ‘tAaget Laittet,”
North JOhnstreet, was summoned by ltiisidha M‘Dettatd,
a tall, stout Scotch girl, with a very strong' Caledonian
accent, for having assaulted her. Mr. Block appeafed
for the defence. The complainant, who spoke in a hur-
ried and excited manner, commenced by telling the
story of her life, but was interrupted by Mr: Black,
Who politely informed her that it might be uncommonly
interesting to some romance writer, if she could catch
hold of one, agife hini the information which she so
gratuitously tendefed fo' their worships : but as the
latter were gentlemen of business, their time would not
admit of their hearing the little history. .The witness,
however, notwithstanding the admonition, Went oar at
the-rate of a fox-hunt, although two or three efforts
were made to arrest her progress. Mr. Lamport at last
addressed her, and begged she would confine herself to
the 7th Yovember, the day recorded in the summons,
as the memorable period when the alleged assault took
place. The girl inforined
.his "lordship" that she
would conic to that in due Black said per-
haps the magistrates would be prevented from eating
their Christmas dinner at home if they sat until she
"came to that." After great exertions on the part of
several officials the girl was induced to " come to it,"
after this fashion :—I was sent out that morning for
three pounds of fourpenny soles. (Laughter.)—Mr.
Block again interposed, and said that was too " flat " a:
beginning, dud protested that the girl should not
be allowed to " walk " of on the "solos" in -that
easy manner. Several Mg's were then taken at
the girl, to compel her to come, to the sticking place,
and at last she. was induced to come up to twelve o'clock,
the witching time of day, when the mighty offence was .
said to have been committed. Here followeth • the
interesting narrative in her own words, except the
accent and action, both of which were vehement :—At
twelve O'clock on that day Miss Ellis asked me if I had'
the potatoes ready down for the gentlemen's dinner, as
they would be.coming in? I said I had'not, and that
would leave at once, and asked for the wageS that I
wrought for. She. told me I was a thorough blackguard, •
and to,leave at once. I said I would not go withcint
my wages, and then she struck me three times and
pulled my . hair. • , Mr. Block : And so you
,have come.
here, have you ? Witness : Yes; •If I wasn't here, how
could you see me to ask me ? Mr. Block : Wellyeu
are here, and a real beauty you are. Was there any
one present when this dreadful disaster took place ?
Yes, Mr. Campion, the manager of the spirit vaults.
She admitted, in answer to further questions put by, Mr.-
thick, that she would have given Miss Ellis one of the
greatest thrashings that ever a hiunarrbeing got from
another, but that Mr. Campion interfered and prevente l
her. She called Mr. Campion to sustain her case about
the assault ; hut he completely upset that, as his evi-
dence went to show that she was outrageously violent,
and would have torn Miss Ellis but for him,
,and he had
no small trouble to hold her. Mr. Black proceeded to
address the court; and said the girl was in fault,' and all
arose about the potatoes. Ile denied, that Miss Ellis
had struck the girl. He was going on, when the bench,
---,on the girl's own showing, as said—dismissed
the charge

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLE:IIEIIT.
Mr. Louis Selig, an importer of foreign fancy' goods,
in Lime-street, charged a young man, named Joseph.
Hillbraw, ',with having embezzled the sum of .tIS odd.
Mr. Cobb (for Mr. Black) appeared for ,the prisoner.
The prosecutor stated' that he sent the prisoner, who
was ,his salaried servant, into Yorkshire on the 12th of
November with goods to the amount of from. £l3O to
£l4O. He was to visit Bradford, Leeds, and Sheffield,
and was to remit when he received £5 or upwards. On
the 24th the prisoner returned, and gave up goods and
money to the amount of £lO7 6s, 7d. ; and, on making.
out his expenses, the prosecutor alleged he was short
over £lB. This was the charge, and the prosecutor was
subject to a fiery cross-examination by Mr. Cobb, and
he admitted that he had the prisoner's watch, ring, and
chain, as security for the money. The prosecutor
alleged that the, prisoner had received sums of money
that he had not returned, and on that account lie asked
for a remand. This was not objected to, and his worship
agreed to take bail for the prisoner. Two gentlemen
came forward to bail the prisoner, and one of them said
he had formerly employed him, and would take him
'back again into his employment. The case was then
adjourned.

CHARGE OF STABBING.
A woman named Elizabeth Caterell was charged with
having stabbed Dulisa Green, in Titehlield-street, on
Monday night last. It appeared that on the night in
question the parties had some difference about a partner-
ship which they had in a pawnbroking transaction, and
a quarrel followed. The prisoner got a small knife, and
stabbed proseentrix in the head; and Surgeon Sheppard
stated that there were four punctured wounds on the
woman's head, and that they were down to the bone.
The prisoner was sent for trial.
(Before Messrs. CASTELLAIN and CORBALLY.)
ASSAULTING TURKS.

Two " duffers," named Martin. Dcvany and John
Lindsay, were charged for having assaulted two Turkish
sailors. The prosecutors, who spoke English very well,
said they were in Great Crosshall-street when they were
attacked by the prisoners and others not in custody, and
assaulted severely. The first named prisoner being a
well known character, was fined 405., and the other
20s. and costs, or in default two and one months' impri-
sonment.
