DREADFUL SC/ENE IN BLuRGATF.-vrir.T.D2.—Mary Ann
Mahoney, a masculine Irish woman, was brought before
Mr. Partridge charged with being drunk and disorderly in
that horrible place Bluegate-fields, Shadwell, which is in-
habited by thieves, ruffians, prostitutes, and other bad cha-
racters, and where numberless outrages and robberies have
been perpetrated.

Robert Thimbleby, a police constable, 119 K, stated that
at half-past two o'clock this morning ho was on duty in
High-street, Shadwell, and heard cries of murder and police.
He vent 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 0 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 £1 10s.
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
af t after t h
the
s sailor
em
jumped
ade
useof foul into th e street, and was very dis-
orderly.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.
