beaten his wife, Matilda Ishold.

the prisoner, her husband, had been iu the habit of con-
stantly dinning and threatening her. On the morning of

threatening to kill her, and, suddenly becoming violent,

pushed her backwards till he almost threw her on the fire.
It was with great difficulty that she got free from him,

that for some time past his conduct had been most strange.
He had not undreseed or had his clothes off for more than
a fortnight. At times he refused all food, threatened, and

he had nut done any. work for more than a fortnight, and
was under a delusion that she (prosecutrix) was only
waiting an opportunity to poison him and all her chil-
dren; that was why he at times refuied his food. She
had been married to him for nearly twenty years, and
had nine children by him. They had lived very happily

Tabemaele-square. Finsbury, and he had always been
both a good hush:gird and a good father.

children, and their Idms of living was too noisy for him.
lie supposed that was the cause of it all.
