VIOLENT ASSAULT.

lfatildes Audky. a Esshily-attited young woman, about
211 years of age, with a profusion of ringlets, was charged
with violently assaulting Julia Crofton, in Croseetreet,
Islington, and tearing her bonnet.
The complainant, a young woman about 20 jean of me,
said that last evening she was walking through Wing.
ton, when she saw the prisoner, whom she had never
seen before. watching her. She went into • publio-
house to partake of a little refreshment, and whilst she
was sitting at a table listening to the outpourings of her
dear Charles's love, the prisoner looked in, made some rude
remark, and then went out. A short time afterwards,
" dear Charles" and she went into the street, and just as
be was telling her that he loved her again and again, and
was making an arrangement to take her down the river on
Sunday, the prisoner came up, asked her what she meant
by being out with her young man, called her a midnight
serpent, and, before she could say one word, struck her a
violent blow on the chest, and tore her bonnet. The pri-
soner also scratched her face. . .

The magistrate inquired if the young roan (lid not inter-
fere to protect her.
The witness replied—Oh, dear no ! All be did was to say,
" Oh, ye infernal and persecuting goddess, leave me alone.
I wish this hour to die !" and then ran off. (The dramatic
Woe in which the complainant uttered these words calmed
great laughter in the court.)
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said the complainant
was out with her young man. The fact was that she went
in a van with the young man in question, and she was sorry
to say in that van she first raw the complainant, for from
that day she could trace all her unhappiness. The com-
plainant whispered words of poison into her young man's
ears, and after that be discarded her and made love to com-
plainant. Last night she saw them together, and the was
so much annoyed that she could not help striking the
complainant.
The complainant, in answer to the magistrate, said she
was not married, but Charles, who is a singer at various
concert rooms, had put up the banns.
The magistrate said the prisoner should not have struck
the complainant, and ordered her to pay a fine of lOn. and
the amount of the damage, or in default one month's im-
prisonment.
The fines were paid.

WORSHIP-STREET.
_HEANTLEBB ROBBERY._

A young man, who gave the name of Jona, but which is
suppooed to be fictitious, was charged with the following
heartless robbery in Wentworth-street, Whitechapel :
Ann Michael, a poor married woman, said—Last night I
left the street door open while I ran to fetch a drop of beer,
and, on returning with it, perceived, es I entered my room,
up one flight of stairs, the cupboard door gradually closing. I
put down the jug, looked about, and instantly noticed that
the top sheet was off my bed, and also that the clothes
of my two children, who lay there fast asleep, had been
removed ; all were safe five minutes previously, and I,
therefore, felt convinced that the thief was in the home
still, as he could not have had time to escape. Well, sir, I
was about to leave for the purpose of acquainting an uncle of
mine up another flight of stairs, and strangely enough for-
getting the cupboard door, when I saw it move again, and
then the truth struck me that some one was inside the
cupboard. Of course I did not know whether it was a man
or a woman, but making up my mind to have whoever was
in out, I opened it, and sure enough there was this fellow
with a bundle under kis arm. Wdl, I didn't give him no
time. but laid hold of him with both hands, dragged him
into the middle of the room, and I dare say that we
struggled together for nearly three minutes. Well, be got
oat of the place, but I stuck to him all down the stairs
right to the street door, and then he broke away from me,
and took the bundle with him. I followed him, however,
calling "Stop thief,' and he was caught by the police and
my uncle.
. . .

31I2ncle" gave evidence of having taken up the chase
oo hearing the alarm, and also to having seen the prisoner
throw away his plunder as he ran nearly into the arms of
Sergeant Gee, H division, and Inspector Broad, who now
produced it.
Prisoner, in answer to the charge, indifferently observed
that he really had nothing to say, and a remand was
ordered.

Prosecutrix-11 you plasm, MY, may I have the children's
clothes! There they are lying in bed, and can't get up
uotil I have them ; at lead let me have a part.
Thud very necemary seeorarnodation having been supplied
by direction of the magistrate, the poor woman, who had
recovered her property, wanifestly through her own resolute
courage, left the court apparently satisfied.
