The plaintiff's daughter Alice was then called, and
proved the facts stated by the Learned Council. On
cross-examination she stated that the defendant has
two sisters, and though he keeps " the book" at the
manufactory, she has seen him engaged as a warper in
the warping room. She herself earned on an ave-
rage Gs. per week as a hand-loom weaver.
Mr. WILKINS, for the defence, submitted that the
case should be treated as a quarter scssions case, and
such damages alone given as the Justices would have
awarded as maintenance there.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.
Mrs. Peggy Flynn, a woman remarkable for taking her
own part, was brought up, charged with having flung a
brick through the window of a public-house, and wound-
ing a poor woman who was standing at the bar. The
injured woman did not appear.
The waiter said that Mrs. Flynn, who was tipsy, was
desirous to get more so, and having been refused more
gin, became so noisy and offensive that he was obliged
to take her by the shoulders and gently put her out of
the house, an indignity which she resented by throwing
the brick into the premises through the window.
Mrs. Flynn—Why then to be sure I did ; didn't he
give me this tundering black eye ?
Waiter—l never struck her, on my life, my Lord.
Mrs. Flynn—What a d—d liar you are, you villain of a
thief.

Policeman—l saw her, my Lord, with that black eye
two days before this happened.
Mrs. Flynn (turning about to the officer)—What a
rascal of a liar you are, to be sure I I'd serve you right
if I'd jist give you sich another; and if I hadn't the
babby in my arms I'd be about thinking of it.—( A laugh.)
The LORD MAYOR—I suppose this woman is well
known?

Policeman—Yes, my Lord, she is able to take h( r
own part.

Mrs. Flynn—l believe you! Sarve you right if I'd
knock your two eyes into one, and your nose into the
back of your head, you villain of the world.
The LORD MAYOR--I suppose you are able to pay a
pound to repair the damage you have done to the window ?
Mrs. Flynn—The divil a pound I can pay; I spent eve!),
rthing I had.
The LORD MAYOR—Where? Mrs. Flynn—Where ! in
the public-house to be sure.
Mr. Nobler—What part of Ireland did you come from,
Mrs. Flynn? Mrs. Flynn—From Waterford, to be sure.
Mr. Hobler—Because we wish to know the particular
spot that had the honour of your birth ? Mrs. Flynn—Oh !
you've had me here among you every year these fifteen
years. I wasn't half the thing I am when I first came over
to you.—( Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—She is committed. And when the
woman she struck with the brick is able to come up, we
shall punish her for that too.

Mrs. Flynn—Good morning to your Lordship. Its often
you gave us nothing. As for you (to the policeman),
mind if I don't pitch into you right and left when I comes
out of quad, you b--y cock-eyed son of a b--.—(Great
laughter.)
