SOUTHWARK.
BINGIILARABSAULT BY 4.lrOlLtN.

Nary Wright, a middle-aged female, was placed at the
bar before Mr. Bureham, charged with committing a
violent assault upon George Gaylor.
The complainant, whose head was bandaged up, said
that on the previous night he was leaving a public-house
in Jamaica-row, Bermondsey, when the prisoner rushed
huiluniana
Yo ' any seizing him by the hair of the head, said,
" You v. what have you done with my brother's
simper and a 't"
Mr. Burcham naked what he meant by such words. He
never heard of such before.

Witness replied that he understood them to mean that
he had robbed her brother of his watch and chain. When
she seized him by the hair she struck him on the head, and
he fell insensible. A constable afterwards conveyed him
to the hospital, where his wound was dressed.
The prisoner here said that she never used the words
imputed to her, and never beard them before. As for her
brother's watch and chain, he was never fortunate enough
to be possessed of such valuable articles.
Mr. Benham staked her what she had to say for
assaulting the complainant.
She replied that she and her brother had been drinking
in a public-house in Jamaica-row, and when the former
left several men surrounded him and pulled him about.
She rushed out and tried to rescue him, when she pushed
against the complainant, and he fell with his head against
the kerb, and cut it.
The constable said that the doctor thought the cut was
caused by some blunt instrument.
Mr. Burehum said there was no proof that she used
anything, and as it was most likely she pushed him on
the kerb, he should tine her 26a., or twenty-one days.
