SONMENT WITHOUT A FTTIZ.

.... _
An elderly woman, who gave the name of Bell comes,
and described herself a. a monthly MUM, residing at 12,
Mortimer-market, Tottenham-court-road, was charged with
being drunk, and assaulting Mrs. Mary Pernior, and her
daughter Jane Pernior, at Great Clarendon•street, St. Pan-

CM.
From the evidence of the compl►inant it appeared that
the prisoner yesterday was the worse for liquor, and as the
daughter of the complainant was proceeding along the pri-
soner took hold of her, and without any provocation beat her
violently about the head and body, so much so that the
poor child has been ill ever since. The mother ran to her
child's assistance, on which the prisoner sprang on her,.
beat her very violently, and endeavoured to bite her arm.
Not content with this violence the prisoner seized hold
of the complainant's hand, bit her finger through,
and had it not been for the wedding-ring, which was broken
with the prisoner's teeth, there could be no doubt that her
finger would have been much more injured than it was.
On the way to the police station she was very violent, and
it was with a great deal of difficulty that police covetable
Richard Neal, 2 8 S, could get her to the station.
The prisoner said she was very drunk, and did not know
what she was about. She was a sober nurse; in fact she
was the queen of nurses. (A laugh.)
Mr. Barker said it was a very savage assault, and sen-
tenced the prisoner to 21 days hard labour in the House
of Correction without the option of a tine.
The prisoner, on being removed, was very noisy, and said
that the magistrate was a very wicked fellow.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
FURIOUS DAMS°.

Robert Sutton, of Anne-street, Cavendish-
square, stockbroker, and Henry Woodson, of 30. Harley-
mews South, were charged, the first named with being
drunk and incapable, and the other with being drunk and
furiously driving a horse and dog cart.
Sergeant Horsey, 6 C, said that about 12 o'clock last
night he saw the two defendants in a dog-cart in Park-lane.
oodson was driving. After going about 20 yards he (the
sergeant) heard a loud crash, and heard a cabman, whose cab
the defendants had run against, call out after thedefendants.
On going up to the dog-cart he found the wheel and springs
broken, but whether the cab was injured or not be could
not say. The defendants were both very drunk, and be
then took them to the station.

W00(1.1011 nid be would acknowledge he was goings little
fast—about eight miles an boor.
The sergeant said they were going mach faster—the hone
was in full gallop.
Mr. Knox mod Sutton would have to pay the ordinary
drunkard's line, bat Woodson, who had put people's lives
in danger, would have to pay 20a., or seven days.

WA...NDSWORTH.
IMPORTANT TO VOLONITERS.

Joseph Scot, a working man and a member of the 11th
Surrey Rifle Corps, appeared before Mr. layman to answer
an 'dimmed summons for neglecting to pay the amount
of his subscriptions and clothing.
The case was poetpooed for the production of the rules.
They were now handed to his worship, and it appeared that
each member was bound to pay 10s. 6d. yearly, the amount
of the aibscription, and to provide himself with the
uniform of the corps. It was proved that the defendant
had been provided with the uniform, and

Mr. Dayman held that he was boniod no pay for it.
Mr. Haynes, jun., who appeared for the defendant, maid
Ws client was enrolled for the purvise of enabling a gentle-
man nainedChnstelaine, of Merton, to get a commission in
the corps. It was the practice adopted in many corps.
Colonel Cole, the commanding officer, said he wished to
keep that matter distinct from the case. Mr. Chastelaine
was promised a commission as soon as a certain number of
volunteers were enrolled. As the commanding officer, he
wu responsible to the tailor.
. .

Mr. Haynes admitted that his client, according to the
rules, was bound to pay the subscription, but not the bill
for the uniform. Mr. Chastelaine sent the defendant to
be measured and the uniform was nut to cost him any-
thing.
Mr. G. Chastelsine was examined, and he stated that he
held a commissiou in the corps. He obtained ten men as
required for his commission. The defendant was one of
the men enrolled. He never made any agreement with the
defendant for the purchase of his uniform. lie referred
the tailor to the commanding officer. U he were to pro-
vide the men with clothing, he might as well enter the
army at once and purchase a commission.
Mr. Hayman wad that if the defendant had a friend to
provide him with his uniform it amounted to a private
arrangement, for which he might be able to recover in the
county court, it the agrcement was not carried out.
That was nothing to do with the corps. He was
liable to the corps, and on account of his not paying
he was also liable to double the amount as •
penalty. He ordered the defendant to nay 51. 15s. ld. and
2a. omits, the amount of his uniform at contract price, and
• year and a half's subscription, and in default of distress to
be imprisoned for two months.
There were other cases of • similar description, and orders
were made for payment. Colonel Cole mid he did not wish
to be hard with the defendants, and would give them time
to pay.
