fixed residence was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman

living with her husband, and the prisoner was continually
persecuting her because she would not consent to make an
appointment to meet him unknown to her husband. Some
time ago he attempted to murder her because she resisted
his overtures, and for that he got 12 months' imprison.
sent. When he came out he still followed the com-
plainant, and on oaocession threw a large stone at her
as she was opening the shutter of one of her windows. He
had threatened so often to murder the complainant when
an opportunity offered, and h■d made such attempts at it,
that she believed he really would do it if he had the
chat oe.
