A FURY.—Ellen Pyburn, a tall and dissipated-looking
wortan, was charged before Mr. Woolrych with breaking
a large pane of plate glass in the window of the Cape of
Good Hope public house, opposite Limehouse Church, and
biting a police constable's thumb.

The landlord of the Cape of Good Hope said that a party
were quarrelling in front of his bar last night, and ho re-
quested them to desist and leave his house. On their
refusal to do so he put them out. The prisoner, who was
very noisy and abusive, was among them, and she returned
to the door and was attempting to force her way in when
he pushed her back and requested her to go home. She
immediately took up a stone and smashed a large pane of
plate glass. The value of it was 40s.

Mr. Woolryeh—Are you insured?
Witness—Yes, sir, I am. I don't wish to hurt the pri-
soner. I should be sorry if she is sent to prison. She has
a large family. A good talking-to would be of service.
William Tyler, a police•constable, No. 155 K, said lee
took the pri,oner into custody. She made a most deter-
mined resistance, kicked, plunged, and repeatedly struck
him. She also got his thumb into her mouth and bit it
severely.

The prisoner, in defence, said she would own she broke
the window. She lied five children at home by the fire.
side. They were in want of food. She went after her
husband to ask him for money to buy food. The landlord
would not iet her in the house for the purpose of looking
after her husband, and she broke the window.

Mr. Woolrych--You have committed two offences--
broken a plate of glass, and bitten the policeman's finger.
You are sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard
labour.

The prisoner—I will pay a fine.
Mr. Woolrych—No ; I will not inflict a fine. You will
go to prison for two months and hard labour.
Richard Pyburn, the husband of the last prisoner, was
charged with assaulting Tyler in the execution of his duty,
and was fined 10s., which he paid.

STRAI'FORD OR LONDON ? as the Site for the
National Monument to Shakspere.—On Monday a
meeting was convened by the Mayor of Liverpool, in the
Town Hall, to consider an application made by Mr. Flower,
Mayor of SttatfJrd-on-Avon, on behalf of what Mr. Flower
described as that "paltry little town." Mr. Flower pointed
out the claims of Stratford, as, in preference to London, the
proper place for a national monument to Shakspere; and
he urged his audience to accept that view of the case, and
pledge themselves to assist the local Warwickshire Com-
mittee with funds. A motion to that effect was actually
