WOOLTON PETTY SESSIONS.-FRJDAY.

(Before ROBT. NEILSON, Chairman • EDWARD GIBBON,
THEODORE RATHBONE, and F. W. EARLS, Esqrs.)
John Johnson Armstrong, of the Lamb Inn, Waver-
tree, was summoned for Sunday trading. Mr. Worship
appeared for the defence, and contended that the sale
had not been sufficiently proved; but, the magistrates
over-ruling this objection, Mr. Worship strongly argued,
that there was 'no wilful intention on the part of the
tdreaftee defendant to

WIVE BEATlNG.—Nicholas O'Brien was brought up,
in-custody, charged with cutting and wounding Laura
Donohue, his mother-in-law, with intent to de her' Sortie
bodily injury ; and alSo with violently assaulting ..his
wife. Mr. Worship appeared for. the prisoner. This;
was a painful case, and occupied the attention of the
magistrates for a considerable time. Mr. Worship. con-
tended there was no "malicious" intent on the, part of
the prisoner, and the more serious charge was, therefore;
not-supported ; and the magistrates, though viewing the
prisoner's conduct with great disgust, taking into consi-
deration all that had been so ably argued in his behalf,
thought that justice would be satisfied by a sentence on
the prisoner of three months' imprisonment with hard
labour.

o'clock on Tuesday morning an accident of the most

was removed to the jioyal Infirmary, where he died in
a few minutes!
