BOW.STREET.
AN NOCIMILIC CASUAL.
A dissipated looking young woman, who gave the name
Mary Annie Collins, was charged by Poliesronstable Har-
grave 147 F, with being drank and disorderly, at the
entrance of St. Gases Workhouse. She was also charged
with assaulting Mrs. Smith, the female searcher at the
statios.house in Bow-street.
The constable stated that about 7 o'clock on the previous
evening he was on duty in frost of the workhouse, and saw
the prisoner there. She was applying for admission to the
casual ward. The porter refused to admit her, as she was
drunk. At about half pest 8, and again at about 10, she
repeated the application, being each time more and more
intoxicated than before. On the third occasion she said to
the porter, "I will go in, and if you don't let me in I will
shoot you." She became; so troublesome that witness was
obliged to take her to the station-house and look her up.
Mrs. Smith, the female searcher, deposed that she
embed the prisoner. and found under her clothes next the
skin a revolver loaded and capped, tour gold watches, two
gold ear-rings, two breast pins, and two brooch's. While
she was stooping to examine the prisoner's clothes the latter
struck her a violent blow en the back of the had, which
nearly knocked her down. She recovered herself., however,
Is time to ward off a second blow which the prisoner was
aiming at her. She used very. abusive language.
Inspector Brennan said inquiry had been made, and it
was found that the prisoner was a married woman, the
wife of an Italian named Gaetano Massarenti, from whom
she bad been lately separated. She had broken into his
house • few days back and taken away about 501. worth of
property belongus4 to him, of which the articles now pro.
Need were a portion.
Mr. Vaughan asked if any other person was concerned
with her in taking sway the property.
Inspector Brennan said he had reason to believe that
man who was living with her assisted.
Mr. Vaughan said in that case the paramour ought to be
charged with felony. At present, however, he should only
deal with the charge of assaulting Mrs. Smith, for which he
should commit the prisoner for a fortnight.
The prisoner—May I say a word, your worship ?
Mr. Vaughan—so, there is no occasion. I am only
dealing with the mmult.
The prisoner was then removed.
OLIHLKEN WELL.
ASSAULT ON A CIIILIL

Emily Richards, a low-looking woman, was charged
before Mr. Barker with committing an unprovoked assault
on Ann Budd, aged 8, residing with its parents at Hatton-
walL
Mr. H. Allen, prosecuting officer of the Associate Institu-
tion for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protec-
tion of Women, watched the case.
The complainant was last night sent on an errand for her
wicuts, and on her return the prisoner kicked her on the
•he without the least provocation. The kick was given
such force that it knocked the poor child down, and
caused her to shriek with pain. Her screams brought the
mother of the child, and Police-constable Harrod,
261 G, came to her assistance, and then the
prisoner tried to make her escape. The child was much
injured, and last night could hardly put her leg to the
ground, and this morning she had a large bruise on her
thigh. The prisoner has been seen loitering about Hatton-
wall for some days past, and the only reason for her com-
mitting this savage act was that the mother of the child
bad found the prisoner in her back yard, and had turned
her out.
The prisoner said she had no defence to make, and com-
plained that the mother of the child had thrown water on
her.
Mr. Barker said this was a very savage assault, and
sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard
labour in the House of Correction for one calendar month.
The prisoner on being removed was violent, and threatened
the mother of the child that when she came out of prison
she would serve her out.
MARLBOROUGHSTREKT.
A CABMAN CHARGED WITH CAUSING TRH DEATH Uk,
ANOTHBR MAN.
Charles Fisher, cab driver, badge 8,124. was charged with
causing the death of man, name unknown, by knocking
him down with a horse and cab. •
Benjamin Nicholas, 89 E, said—About half-past 1 this
morning I was in the Tottenham-court-rood, and saw a man
coming down the road towards Oxford-street walking on the
pavement. The prisoner, who was driving a Hansom cab, was
coming down the road on the opposite side ate steady pace.
The man then crossed from the chapel side, appearing to be
drunk and staggering along, and when he had got about
two paces from the cab rank the shaft of the cab caught
his head and knocked him down. The prisoner called out
" Halloo" as the man went down, and after going a few
yards turned his cab round and came back. I cannot say
whether the cab went over the man or not. The prisoner
was on his proper side. I picked up the man, whose bead
was bleeding, and on telling the prisoner that I should take
the man to the hospital, he told me to put him in his cab
and he would take him anywhere. I took the man to the
University Hospital, and the house surgeon dressed his
bead, but could not take him in, saying be had no beds,
and that I had better take him to the station. The man
never spoke from first to last, and died at the hospital.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—How long did he live after he was wanted
to be taken away?
Constable—About 20 minutes. After he was lifted from
the bed he sat on a chair, and there died, and was taken to
the dead house.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—You do not know who he is?
Constable—No, sir.
Mr. Tyrwbitt—At what rate was the cabman going ?
Constable—Five miles an hour. On telling the prisoner
the man was dead he cried, and said that he would rather
have lost his cab and two horses than such a thing should
have occurred.
The prisoner—I was coming along Tottenham-court-road
and thought the man was • cabman standing by his horse,
but instead of that it was a man who walked right on to the
horse.
The constable—There were witnesses, but they are not
Present.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—They ought to be present. I hope it is
11 mere accident brought on by the man himself. I will
take one bail in 11. for the prisoner's attendance next week.

WORKHOUSE DESPERADOES._ - • •

Ellen Cruse and Elizabeth Wisdom, hearty looking
young women, were placed at the bar charged with refusing
to work in Bermondsey Workhouse and breaking windows
in the separation wards.
Maria J °Deathe headiness and assistant siatron, said that
the prisoners were inmates of Bermondsey workhouse, and
were this most troublesome they bad in the house. About
1 o clock yesterday they were directed to clean the dining-
room. They proceeded there, but nothing was done for an
hour and a half. Witness then went to them and remon-
etrated with them, at the same time called the master's
attention to them, when the prisoners became abusive.
They were then removed to the separation wards, where
they broke the windows.
The magistrate eked what sort of place was the separa-
tion wards
Witness replied that they were in a different part of the
house, and a person was employed to watch the inmates
and give them their food. Hem they were furnished with
oakum to pick, but they refused to do it.
The magistrate asked if they gave any reason for that.
Witness replied in the negative. Had they only shown
en inclination to do some no notice would have been taken
of their conduct. Oakum picking was only resorted to in
the workhouse as a punishment to refractory inmates.
His worship asked what was the usual conduct of the
prisoner,.
Witness replied that they were the worst behaved girls
in the lionise. •
William Fairburn, the porter of the workhouse, said that
the prisoners were supplied with two pounds of oakum,
which one of them colld easily have done in a short time.
He told them to do a little, but they would not attempt it.
Mary Lane, the conductor of the separation wards, proved
the riotous conduct of the prisoners, and that Crume took
up a metal spoon and broke the windows.
The prisoners, in the moat impudent manner, said that
they were cruelly need in the workhouse, and they were not
going to do the work. They would see the matron and
master first.
The magistrate observed that it war shameful such
hearty-looking girls should be a burden to the ratepayers.
He sentenced each to five dale bard labour.
ANDSWORTH.
BRETAL TIOLIECH AND HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Walter Fetlock, and George Charles Rose, rough.loolring
young men, were charged with being coecerned in stealing
• watch and chain from the person of William Hancock,
and also with committing a violent and brutal assault upon
hins.
Pattock was apprehended at the time, but Rue was taken
into custody at the court.
The prosecutor, an inoffensive-looking young man, said
that he was returning home along the Binfield-road, South
Lambeth, after 12 o'clock at night, when the prisoners, who
were strangers, stopped him, and noel bad language. Put-
tack caught hold of him by his coat, struck him • violent
blew on this chest, and knocked him dews. He this kept
him down, and kicked him on the chest. Ross also
Meek him. When he accused Putlirck with steeling his
watch Rue went away, and the priumer Puttock
again kicked bins on the chest, and ocutinnad to ketch
