BATTON-GARDEN.
AN IRISH Row.—Ann Callis was charged with an
assault.

Mr. ComßE.—Where is the complainant? An old
woman who looked as though she was made up for the
part of Sangrida in the Wood Demon, here bustled up
to the Magistrates' table exclaiming :—" Faith, then,
that's myself, I'm Bridget Leary, place your Wurtchip.
Mr. CoMßE.—What have you to say ?
Bridget Leary—l've got nothing to say to you, only
I tould this woman last night to give her child some
suck, and instead of giving any thing to the poor child,
she flung the crock at my head.
The Defendant—She called me ondacent names your
Wurtchip.
Bridget Leary—She hit me with the crock, look at
the blood.

Mr. Co7.lßE.—Why have'nt you washed your face.

Complainant—That your Wurtchip might. see the
marks.

Defendant—She's got no mark at all, at all, your
Wurtchip. It's stuff, she's put on to make believe.
The police Inspector, who examined complainant's
face, here declared that there was no mark of any cut
to be found, and that she had smeared some red com-
position over her face in order to produce the ensan-
guined appearance she presented.
Complainant—Oh ! faith, but I've a witness, call
Mary Donovan.

Defendant—Don't call her for her, but call her for
me, she's my witness.
Mary Donovan was a long time before she made her
appearance, and when she did it turned out she was no-
body's witness, for on being called on to give evidence
she exclaimed—
Shame on you to want me to swear, and me in the
family way. I'll take no oath, and I never heard no
words nor never see nothing.
Mr. COMBE—You must go out and settle it.
