assist him, and so effectually did she do so, that she

committed the following outrage. Policeman 442 said
about 12 on Wednesday night he heard the loud screaming
of a female issuing from a passage in Vauxhall road, and as
he app-oached he heard a female cry out" You scoundrel, let
me alone--I am a married woman." He then ran into the
Passage, and found the prisoner acting in the most
outrageous manner towards the female. The constable
grappled with him, when he tripped him up, and when
assistance came, the Prisoner took out a knife and attempted
'to use it. He then got away, but was subsequently
captured. The woman refused to come forward, saving,
:She did not wish her name to appear in the newspapers."
when he was taking the prisoner to the station, he
kicked him in an outrageous manner. The woman told him
that she was passim along the street on business when the
litisoner dragged her into the passage. Mr. Mansfield

two months with hard labour.
