THE GREATEST VIRAGO IN THE DISTRICT.—Emma
Mason, a very drunken and dissipated woman, who has
done immense mischief in h^r ti-me, was brought before Mr.
Partridge, charged with I Cog drrnk and disorderly, and
violently assaulting Salmi& Ctr'ckland, No. 83 K.
The complainant said, flat at an early hour this morn-
ing the prisoner and a ma whom she cohabited were
quarrelling and abusing i other in the Old Manor-roe
at the back of Stepney t ' urch. He desired them `ego
home and the man after •snasion did leave, but the
prisoner would net leave, a..d made use of the most
horrible language that ever escaped the lips of a
human. being. He then took her into custody
and she made a violent attack upon him, and bit his fi :ger.
He removed her a short distance, and she then threw her-
self on the ground, and kicked and plunged in such a man-
ner that he could not remove her until he obtained assist-
ance. She repeatedly struck him and attempted to scratch
his face.

The Prisoner—You took advantage of my weakness, you
villain. (Laughter.)
The Policeman—Weakness, indeed 1 The prisoner is a
match for any two men in the force, and five men were
engaged in bringing her to the station•house.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had
been repeatedly in custody for assaults, drunkenness,
riotous conduct, attempting to commit suicide, and other
offences. The prisoner and her paramour were a nuisance
to society, and had frequently created a disturbance in the
Commercial-road and other places, to the annoyance of ti .d
respectable inhabitants.
Mr. Partridge—Has she been punished before ?
Roche—She has been committed to rrison over and over
again.

Mr, Partridge—l shall commit the prisoner to tho House
of Correction for six weeks, and to be ,eept to hard labour.
The prisoner gave utterance to a volley of obscenity cud
abuse, and demanded two months' im2risonment, She was
about to resist the gaoler, when he declaral he would
have none of her antics, forced her into a cell in an instant
and locked her up.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was about an average supply of beasts on offer in
to-day's mark. All breeds met a dull inquiry, and Monday's
prices were barely supported. Tha extreme value of the
best Scots was 5a 2d per 81bs. The show of sheep was
seasonably gosd. Downs and half-breds moved off feely, at
full currencies; but heavy sheep were a slow sale, at late
rates. The top figure was 6s per Sibs. Choice calves were
firm, and the turn dearer. Otherwise, the veal trade was
inactive. Pigs and milch cows were very dull, but not
quotably lower.
Per 81bs. to sink the offal.
