LAMBETH.

A/4)11 :LT ON • Shirk) Brook, the
musician and composer, was charged with tkreateuing and
attempting to Mackie his wife.
hire. brook, whose manner and arpearanos wcn moat
lady-like, deposed that tor the last two jeers out of the
seven she had been married to the defendant her life had
been rendered must wrstAied by the c•mt.sct of her husband
in drinking to excess. m►kirg use of use most violent
threats, and ill-using bir. Fur the last two months be
bad given way to his passion for drink ar.d violence to such
an extent that her life became almost intolerable, and on
Sunday morning last he attempted to put hie threat ot
etriusgung her into execution by twisting her bed-gown
about her throat wails in bed, that she actually
felt herself bring suffocated, but by some effort
sbe drew herself sway from him to as to be enab:ed
to ►larm the sore ints in the nonce, and bring taus to her

assistance. In reply to a quesuon :rom the magistrate uto
the cause for her bustrant's violence, Mrs. Brook said t►at
in cons, quence of Mr. Broth's indiffereace in the pursuit of
sic profession, and the income settled upon him by his
friends being wholly inadequate to their Maintenance, her
Mends enabled h. r to pureness the furniture io the Issuais
in York Road in which they. resided and support herself, by
letting it out ir. lodgiogs. Her doing this appeared to give
great offence to ►er husband, for since she lied deco so he
had 'not g leen her the slightest pease of mind, and she bad
now to beg his worship to bind him down not to molest her
for the future. She should not, she said, trouble him for
anything, and all she required was to be left to attend to
her house an peace—a to:eiaing she had been • long time a
stranger to.
Mr. Brook, in reply to the charge, said that he was
labouring under ■n ad evion tor which he was obliged to
drink, and he would adroit that while under the influence of
spirits his temper was not the best, at.d he might have com-
mitted himself. With respect to the charge urged by his
wife of attempting to straogle her, he should submit it to his
worship's own judgment whether he thought it likely that if
he used the violence rp.,keo of by Mrs. Brook she could
have called out fur assistance. . . _

Mrs. Brook hue rep and that all she required was peace
and her husband's keeping away from her; and the magic
trate ordered Mr. Brook to find two aunties in tarsal
pounds to keep the peace end be of good bzhariour towards
nis wife for two mouths.
