DREADFUL SCENE IN BLUEGATE• FIELDS.—Mary Ann
Mahoney, a masculine Irish woman, was brought before
Mr. Partridge charged with being drunk and aisorderly in
that horrible place Bluegate-fields, Shadwell, which is in-
habited by thieves, ruffians, prostitutes, and other bad cha-
racters, and where numberless eutrages and robberies have
been perpetrated.

Robert Thimbleby, a police constable, 119 K, stated that
at half-past two o'clock this morning he was on duty in
High-street, Shad well, and heard cries of murder and police.
Hew ent to Bluegate Fields whence the cries proceeded, and
almost immediately afterwards the second floor window of
one of the infamous houses in the street was opened, and a
man in his night clothes jumped out, and fell on the stones
below. The man was dreadfully mutilated, and was con-
veyed to the London Hospital in a cab. The poor fellow,
a sailor, said he accompanied the prisoner to the brothel in
Bluegate-fields, and in the middle of the night she took
away his trousers, the pockets of which contained Li 108.
in gold and 3s. in silver. She was leaving the room with
the trousers when he seized her, and a struggle took place.
She chased him round the room with a poker, and,
fearful of being murdered, he opened the window
and jumped out into the street. He recovered the sailor's
clothes and money. The prisoner left the house directly
after the sailor jumped into the street, and was very dis-
orderly. She made use of foul language, and exposed her-
self in a most flagrant manner.

Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been
frequently in his custody for assaults, disorderly conduct,
and felonies.

Mr. Partridge said the prisoner was a very bad woman
and it was probable she would have to answer a charge of
attempting to rob the sailor. He sentenced her to 21 days'
imprisonment and hard labour.

DREADFUL SUICIDE.—On Sunday morning last
Captain Sterling, of the town of Moneymore,
himself in his own bedroom, deliberately discharging the_shot
contents of a loaded gun into his forehead, drawing the
trigger with his foot. His death was the immediate result.
Shortly afterwards an inquest was held before Mr. Belly,
coroner for the county, when a verdict in accordance with
the above facts was returned. It appears that Sterling
had been a hard drinker umil a late period, when ho became
a rigid teetotaller. He was subject to great melancholy.
