IVEBTAIEI'STER SESSIONS, GUILD 'LILL.

Saturday. John Hicks was indicted for assaulting
-the'Paroness De Hinckwitz. It-appeared that the
Prisone'r had been employedin.this.Lady's:family'as
a hair-dresser, but having formed- an improper con-
- nexiOn with one of the maid servants, he was dis-
charged. He became irritated at his dismissal, and
behaved exceeding ill at her door, in consequence
of which she went to Marlborough street
and in walking along* the Street he struck her several
times, making use of the ho:rible- expresSion,..that
if it had been night he would have Wrung her neck,'
and she would have been foUnd in the kennel like a
dead cat. The Prisoner was' found Gniity, and
' through the interference of the prosecutrix, he was
hekl. in recognizance to keep the peace. .
John Earres stood charged before the Cdurt, with
.1
not maintaining his wile, Or alloWing her an adequate
sum for that purpose.
It. appeared, that the Defendant had been sepa-
rated from -his wife upwards.of twelve years, and
each supposed the other'dead. He had worked as a
gardener at different Gentlemen's:, seats throughout
the country, and it came out that he had 4001.' in
the funds. During this period, the wife was..put to.
her shifts to maintain herself, and for that purpose
assumed the dress of a man, in which.. character she
did labodring and other manly employments.
About three years ago, she entered into His Ma-
jesty's sea service as a volunteer, and'went on board
a tender then lying in the River, but, upon a,dis7
covery of her sex, she was discharged. Since that
'time she as3umed.the various occupations of a porter,
a shoe-black, &c. &c. when at last, on discovering
that her husband was alive, and here fusing to give
her a maintenance, she applied to the Magistrates
i for redress. Some time was spent in considering
whether he should make her an allowance, or take
her home to his dwelling. To this latter proposi-
tion she made many objeClions but the husband
declaring he would take her home, and treat her
well, the CHAIRMAN -told her, that as her husband
had agreed to take her and treat her well, she was
bound to go with him.
With this she reluctantly complied; and they left
the Court together in no very good humour with
each other.

This Remedy, this Balm, is now in the highest re-

which from time to 6 .e have appeared in the public

ordinary in their nature; that that person must be
void of belief indeed, who does not attach credit to
them.
