A FATHER CHARGED WITH THROWING BOILING WATER
OVER HIS DAUGHTER.—Thomas Beehar, a labouring man,
living at No, 6, Long's-court, Leicester square, was charged
before Mr Tyrwhitt with throwing a kettle of boiling water
' over his daughter, Susan Beehar, about 13 years of age.
Mrs Annie Beehar, a respectable looking woman, the wife
of the prisoner, said that last night her husband came home
bringing with him something to cook for supper. Her
husband had been drunk every day and night for a week
and had ill-used her a good deal. While the supper was
cooking her husband blew out the candle and then tried to
knock her down, but was prevented. He then seized hold
ot• a kettle of boiling water and throw it at her, and some of
the water went on her daughter.
In answer to Mr 1 yrwhitt, the wife said her husband
was sometimes a teetotaler, and spent the money he saved
while he was so when he got drunk.
Susan Beehar, the prisoner's daughter, said that her
father took up the kettle and threw it at her mother, and
some of the boiling wat, r went on her (witness's) face, in-
juring her eye. She was taken to the lnspital and had her
e} 'o attended to, Before her father took up the kettle he
was goirg to strike her mother, but she prevented him.
The prisoner said he did not intend to throw the water
over the girl.

Mr Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was a savage fellow
towards his wife and family, and he should order him to
find one bail in £lO to keep the peace for six months.

WESTMINSTER.

DISTRESSING CASE.—Mary Eugenia Park, a very nice
looking little girl, only thirteen years of age, was placed at
the bar charged with felony.

Elizabeth Barn ord. lodginghons:-keeper, 151, Tach-
brook-street, Pitnlico, said that the prisoner had been in her
service for three months, and left about the end of last July,
About a n onth ago, having occasion for a shawl which had
been put away at the end of last winter, she went to look
for it, and then found that both that and a cloak were miss-
ing. Suspecting the prisoner to have taken the things, she
sent to where she was living in service yesterday, and in
consequence of what she learnt gave the accused into cus-
tody.

The policy proved that they received infortuatiL n and
took the prisoner into custody, In consequence of a state-
ment she made they got the ticket of the shawl.
Thomas Clarke, assistant at Mr Karsgood's, pawnbroker,
Gloucester-terrace, Vauxhall-bridge-road, produced a shawl
pledged on the 13th of July for 5s in the name of Clarke.
Prisoner admitted that she had pawned the shawl, and
appeared very penitent.

On being asked what had become of the cloak, she said
she had pawned it, and given the ticket to a little girl, who
had lost it. The little girl's mother told her that she could
dispose of anything she brought there.

The former part of this statement was confirmed, but the
.atter denied.

1:Ir Arnold sent for the acculed's father, and asked him
if he would be answerable for her good behaviour for three
months ?

The father, an aged, respectable looking man, declined.
He said that this was unfortunately not the first time his
daughter had been guilty of dishonesty. He had tried
everything, but could do nothing with her.

Mr Arnold said he was very sorry, ani the law must
take is course. The prisoner was very young, and he had
thought her led away by bad advice and associates, and
was anxious to have given her another chance by handing
her over to her father to prevent her ruin.
She was committed for three months.
