mom have lima circulated to a very large entotot among
ties.

Dermas Donovan, a journeymen tailor, was charged with

The complainant, whom neat appearance was quite •
eentrest to that of the haggard drunken-locking husband,
mid—He came to my plea at one o'clock in the morning,
drunk, and swore that he would bays my life. I have not
lived with him them five years ow account of his drunken
habits and his gross ill treatment of roe ; and I fear ►e is
telling the truth whoa ke says be means mischief to me.
The Lord Mayer—How often has he been here for his
violent modern te lon ?
The complainant—l don't want to do hint any harm, my
lewd; I only want to be protected from want hint
never to NOM near me any mon.
The defendant—The Lord knows, your lordship, I never
intended to do her any injury; bet, aa I was goieg along,
I saw • man of our acquaintance kilo his wife, and I thought
I'd just all and kiss my wife, and she dew in a passion,
and charged me tato the cars of a policeman.
The Lord Mayor—She did what was pertectly right.
The defendant—l think it was enough to make a man
uneasy when his wife refuses to give him a kiss after so long
an absence, and I'd have been quiet if she only consented
to do me that favour._

BOW.STREST.

-
Mr. Sorry Francis, of Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury-
square, photographic artist, was charged with a criminal
assault upon Tabitba Howie, aged 13, a female @errant in his
e ploym.
Mr. Herring, jun., attended as solicitor for the complain-
ant ; and Mr. W. H. Smith appeared for the defendant.
The preeecutrix, who gave her evidence with great pro
priety of manner, stated that she went into the service of the
defendant, Mr. Francis, on Thursday week, the 20th sit,
having been engaged by his sister, who kept the house, at
Is. 6d. per week. the remained in the situation until the
following Sunday, when she left in consequence of the,
present occurrence. On Sunday evening, at about five
o'clock, Rim Francis directed witness to get her master's tea
and take it up to the parlour at sin o'clock. She then left
the house. At about the time mentioned she carried up the
tea, and was about to return to the kitchen, when her master
said, "Get a cup and sanerr, end have your tea with me."
She accordingly did so, and when tea was over took down
the things to wash them, subsequently returning with the
tea-things, to place them, as usual, in the parlour cupboard.
Her Buster then desired her to get down the wine, and
asked her to take a glass. He poured out a wine-glass full.
and witness drank it. He then harked her to have another
glass, but she drank only part of another. She asked him
if she should light the gas, the room being quite dark, and
the window-blind down. He replied " No." He then forced
witness upon the sofa and committed the offence. (The par-
ticulars sr* unfit for publication.) As soon as she could
get away from him she asked to go down stairs,
to remove the dogs out of the kitchen (five puppies and
their mother), or her mistress would be espy with her. He
said, " Very well," and having thus got out of the room
she ran home to her mother, in Newman-street, and related
what had taken place. It was about 7 o'clock when the
reached home.
. .

The complainant was cross-examined by Mr. Smith, bat
without shaking her testimony.
The mother of the child was nest examined, and deposed
to her daughter coming home in a very excited state, and
telling her what had occurred. On Wednesday, after the
mammas bad been issued from Bow-street, be cailrd to see
witness's husband. He refused at first to admit him, but
defendant followed her husband into their room, and im-
plored to be forgiven. He cffs red a sovereign, and said he
would do anything for the child in future. The husband
refused any of his proposals, and then the defendant left,
calling him a (Iselin, declining to settle the ease.
William Bowie, husband of the last witness, after con-
firming his wife's statement as to tee return of the prose-
cotes on Sunday evening, deposed to the conversation
which took place between Mr. Francis and himself on the
Wednesday. The defendant followed him in, after being
desired to leave the house, and said, " Mr. Bowie, pray
forgive me. I will own I have attempted, but I have not
harmed your girl. I will give aaytbing if you will pardon
me." Witness told him that if he wee to put down 601. on
the table it would be no see, as he was resolved to send the
matter before a magistrate. Prisoner said he was a fool, and
finally, by his dale*, left the house.
The defendant was committed for trial, his worship con.
seating to take bail for his appearance at a future day to
have the depositions taken. The defendant is a married
man, having lately separated from his wife.
