AN ABUSED AND PLUNDERED SAILOR.—PabIo Salo,
an Italian sailor, was brought before blr Paget, charged
with assaulting Mary Williams.
The complainant, one of the Rateliff-highway girls, of
considerable personal strength, said she had been living
with the prisoner for eight days, and all the money he had
given her in the course of that time was £3, with which she
had supported him and indulged him in plenty of grog.
Last night he was tipsy and quarrelled with her and beat
her. He knocked her down with Ws fists and then kicked
her. She bled a good deal and her eye was blackened.
Two of the frail sisterhood, companions of the com-
plainant, gave evidence of the beating with much exaggera-
tion, and a police-constable said he heard the screams of
the woman, and when he came up she was bleeding from
the nose, and her face was bruised, The prisoner was
standing by, and was partially intoxicated.
The Italian, in broken English, said he came home to
England in the ship Gloriosa, and fell in with the com-
plainant, who obtained all his wages, and had been spend-
ing the money as she thought proper. Two nights ago she
brought home another chap, an homeward bounder with
money, and told him to turn out. Last night she met him
and abused him, and called him a dog, and a thief, and a
son of a —, and other vile names.
Mr. Paget—No doubt you have been abused and plun-
dered, as sailors who fall into the clutches of these women
generally are plundered, but I cannot tolerate any woman
being knocked about; they must not be ill-used.
The Italian said he was very sorry, but the woman did
call him such very bad names that it inflamed his blood.
He was never called such names before.

Mr Paget—l dare to say you were called dreadful names.
You ought not to have struck her. The beating of women
under any pretence is not allowed by our laws.
The prisoner said he was going to ship again this day
and on board the Uloriosa, on which. Mr Paget remanded
him, and directed Inspector Adams of the Thames police
to make inquiries about him, and to ask the captain of the
Gloriosa to attend.
