Aksender Salami: a siaTieman, was brought up on a
warrant charged with brutal treatment of Louisa Jane
Holland his daughter, a delicate looking girl, aged 13.
Proceedings_ had been taken by the Society for the Pro-
tection of Women and Children.
Ike little girl, who exhibited a very bad black eye, said
she lived with her father at 2, little Tufton-street, West-
minster. Lest Thursday morning the defendant came
home at one o'clock and knocked at the door. She
got out of bed to let him in, but while she was lighting
a candle the door was opened by a little boy in the house
and she got into bed again. When defendant came into
the room he beat her in bed about the face and head with
his fist. On Wednesday afternoon he shook her and
kicked her two or three time, with his heavy clogs because
she was playing in the street. Her mother was from home
at these times. Defendant had beaten the child several
times before. _ _ _

B;rab Amelia Holland, aged 11, confirmed this account,
and added that the defendant had also pulled her out of
bed and beaten her. _ _ .

hended the defendant he admitted having struck Louisa in
the face and kicked her.

Defendant;;;Ti that she did not let him in as she ought
to have done, and he merely gave her a slap. On the
other oceasion spoken of she had left her home dirty after
being told not to do so, and was found playing in the street
with the youtiger girl, who had no frock on.
Mr. Arnold, having convicted defendant of the offence,
inquired of his wife what was his general conduct to the
children P
The wife replied that when in drink he was very violent,
Mr. Arnold observed that his conduct had been im-
proper in the highest degree. Nor was there anything
like good reason assigned for chastising her, even had it
been indicted properly. He had no right to have treated
her as he did, which was in a most cruel and unjustifiable
way. He was a man of uncurbed feeling, and in duty to
the public be should commit him for four months' hard
labour.

Emma White, a woman of the town, waa charged with
wilfully breaking a sheet of ease, valued at IW., in the
New Crown and Cushion, Westminster-bridge-road.
Mr. Lewis Hart, landlord of the house, said about half-
past 12 o'clock at night the :prisoner was in his house
making a great disturbance. She said she had been
insulted by some persons in front of the bar, and taking
up a drinking glass wee about to hurl it at the alleged
offenders, when it was taken from her by the barman,
and she was told to leave. Instead of doing so, however,
she seized another drinking glass awl threw it at a man,
who stooped down, and so avoided the blow, which was
spent upon a looking-glass, 6 feet by 3 feet. behind the
bar, shivering it to pieces. She was then given into
cu,tody.
Mr. 'Elliott—You have not proved the wilful damage.
The prisoner did not, as it appear., throw the drinking
glum at the mirror, but at some person.
Prosecutor—But, your worship, the result of her throw-
ing the drinking glass caused the damage.
Mr. Elliott—lt is not a cam of wilful damage, in my
opinion. You have your remedy against her in the county
court. The prisoner is discharged.
