A WARM RECEPTION.

A woman residing at NorthOwersby was recently
summoned to appear at the Rasen justice-room, to an-
swer a charge of assault preferred against her by the
rate-collector of that place. It appears that some time
ago the woman in question had a son convicted of poach-
ing upon the lands of the complainant, for which be was
sentenced to two months' imprisonment. The remem-
brance of this casualty was at all times a sufficient in-
centive to her anger, without the further provocation of
a rats application. One day last week the rate-collector
met with one of her sons, of whom be solicited the
amount of rate due; bat the young man, after stating
that he had no money, advised him to apply to his
mothr, and she would doubtless pay him. He accord-
ingly did so, and on his pony rode up to the front door of
the domicile, where he was met by the fair proprietor
with a sweeping brush, with which, on stating his
errand, she aimed a terrific blow at his head; fortunately
for him it did not reach its destination, but descended
on the pony, which, smarting from the blow,
began to rear up and retreat. The woman con-
tinued the charge with unabated fury, the poor
fellow dodging his heal from side to bide to
avoid the succession of blows which were mercilessly
inflicted upon him. In this manner, having lost com-
mand of his horse, they continued backing across the
garden until they arrived at a wide ditch, knee-deep in
stagnant water and filth, over the brink of which the
hind legs of the animal slipped, and the luckless rider
was quickly deposited in the mire; over her fallen
enemy the outraged woman here wrought with batter
efifact, inasmuch that after a few " decided hits," the
vanquished and mud-soaked collector begged for mercy,
in eonsideration of which he declared he would forgive
her the amount of the rate. The woman's defence was
that she expected that he was going to ride into the
house on horseback, and that, on endeavouring to drive
the pony back, she perceived that its hoofs were destroy..
jag the whole of her herbs, from which she concocted a
affair the whole
spieicvieis of medicine, and by its sale she partially obtains
ish--°'"°d; this circumstance so exasperated her that
° committed the assault. During the recital of the
ter. the
