Maude did all in hi* power to meet these objection', and it
was believed the poor woman would consent to be taken
back to the Infirmary. She appeared to be in great pain,
and screamed whenever any attempt was made to lift her
about the court. It was stated that several of her ribs had
been fractured. The magistrate was evidenly of opinion
that the ease would prove to be one much too serious to be
dealt with summarily under the now act. Richard Yates,
the other cowardly brute mentioned by the witnesses as
beating Ann Rooney. had not been taken by the police.
The prisoner Davis is a tall young man, powerful in frame
and well proportioned. Standing before the court, as he
did, charged with such a wanton and unmanly offence, it
was surprising to see how little approach to feeling or emo.
tion of any kind there was in his bearing throughout.
