BIRKENHEAD.

BEFORE MESSRS. FIELDEN, ELSE, AND SHAW,

DOINGS OF A LIVERPOOL MERCHANT.—Mr. William
Parry Wilson, of Dacre park, Rock Ferry, a Liverpool
merchant, summoned one Winifred Lloyd, a single lady,
for an assault upon hfh, by giving him a blow upon his
right eye. Complainant stated, that on Saturday evening
last, at about a quarter to eight o'c'ock, he was in
Birkenhead market, and that on going down the steps on
leaving, he suddenly received a blow on his right eye,
which was given him by the defendant with her
clenched haul. That he had not spoken to her to give
any provocation whatever. Mr. Bretherton, who ap-
peared for the defendant, cross-examined the complain-
ant, and elicited from him that he had known defendant
for eight years—particularly so—indeed very particularly,
and that he had had one child by her, for whose [pain -
tenanca an order had been made upon' him at this court
for the payment of 2s 6d per week. That at the time
the defendant struck him, he was talking to a Mrs.
Brown, whose husband is a coloured man, but at present
absent at sea—he had a stick in his hand at tke time, but
did not touch the defendant with it. - I have never tusked.
Mrs. B:own to take wine with me. She is not here as a
witness. I asked her to come, but she refused without
being subpeened. I saw the defendant about three weeks
before this affair in this court. I Was summoned in the
county court for the non-payment of a Doctor's bill for
attending to the child I had by her. She did say, how
could she keep the child upon 2s 6d par week and pay
the doctor too. I have gone to her at different places-
to pay the money for the child, because she would•
not coma to my house to annoy my wife. The last,
payment was 21s. Mr Bretherton then addressed
the Bench and said he was sure that they would
see that the whole of the facts were not before
them. Is it likely that she would have struck-
him without something being said. A man like thoi
complainant to come here against a woman whom hp
admits to have been on intimate terms with for eight
years, a❑d by whom he bad a child for which he would
not pay until made to do. The defendant assures me
that he did poke her with his stick when he was talking
with Mrs. Brown, and it was thenithat; she struck him
in the face with her open hand. lam sure when you
take into consideration all the circumstances of the case
you will see that be was deservedly punished for the
wrong he has inflicted .upon the defendant, and then
deserted her. Complainant : All I wish is for her to be
bound over to keep the peace. Rev. Mr. Fielden : Hear
the Bench, sir; you might have called a witness, not
having done so, we do not think proper to call on her
to be bound over. We therefore dismiss the case. The
result appeared to give great satisfaction to a crowded
court, and the complainant crept out of the court as if
heartily ashamed of himself.
