A respectable and fine-looking young man named EVB3I
Lloyd Mathias was brought up on warrant charged with
having assaulted his wife, Jane Mathias, an elegantly-attired
and interesting-looking female, of about 30 years of age. Mr.
Cobb was for the complainant, and Mr. Bluck for the prisoner.
The complainant said, I live at 12, St. Jude's-place, and have
been married nearly four years to the prisoner ; he is a sailor.
On Friday last, he came in and asked for money, but I had
none to give him, when he threw me on the floor, put his knee
on my chest, and got a hatchet and knife, and swore he would
kill me. I got from him, and then he asked if I would
forgive him, and I said I would In order to get away from hini.
He then asked me if I would take a glass of ale, and I said
yes, and told him to go into the kitchen to get a jug : and this
I did to get away from him, and I ran away to the house of a
friend, in Prescot-street. I have not been near him since, and
lam afraid of my life from his violence. Cross-examined by
Mr. Bluck : He went on his knees to me, asking forgiveness.
He came .home on Sunday week and stopped with me until
Friday. He did not fins me drunk, but I bad had some drink.
I knew what I was saying and doing. Mr. Bluck : Now, is
he not very fond of you ? I don't know ; but if he is, it is
rather a strange way of shoNiiiig it by taking a hatchet to me.
After some discussion, it was agreed that the prisoner should
enter in his own recognisances to keep the peace, and he pro-
rniied not to go near his wife any more ; and he was then
'discharged. "
