AN OUTRAGEOUS CULPRIT.—Mary Rayan, a stout
sturdy-looking woman, was brought before the magistrate.
Mr. Arnold, on looking at the charge-sheet, observed
that the defendant appeared to have been a wholesale offen-
der, by the entry made against her. She was charged with
being drunk, with breaking two panes of glass at a beer-
shop, with assaulting three constable; and wilfully break-
ing a window at the police-station.

IVlrs. Andrews, who keeps the Black Horse beer-shop,
Oat ham-street, Chelsea, said that yesterday afternoon the
defendant came there intoxicated, and upon her refusal to
give her any more drink, wilfully broke a pane of glass and
rushed after her to attack her, but was prevented by a
policeman.

Police-constable Watts, a detective in plain clothes, said
that he was at the house and endeavoured to restrain the
defendant's violence. When given into his custody she
assaulted him very violently, and threw herself down. A
large crowd collected, and she was three times rescued from
him. He was much ill-treated, and there were others in
custody for the part they had taken in the disturbance.
Defendant was so violent that it required four people to
carry her until the stretcher could be procured. During
which there were a groat many stones thrown at the police.
Tw) other policemen proved that the defendant attacked
them with great fury, and when she got to the station-
house she seized a jug, and threw it through a window into
the inspector's room.

Defendant said that she had been roughly handled, and
pulled about without any provocation.
Mr. Arnold—How do you get your living ? You are
described on the sheet as a a servant.
Defendant—l am.
Mr. Arnold—ls anything known of her ?
The gaoler—She has been before charged with violent
conduct, and with other offences.

Dennes (the gaoler)—She is a thief; and has been con-
victed.

Mr. Arnold—Your conduct is more like a wild beast
than a woman. You are committed for two months, and
will find bail in £lO for four months.

APPLWATION FOR A PROTECTION ORDER. —Mrs. C. Cox,
carrying on business at No. 82, St. George-street, applied
to Mr. Woolrych for an order for the protection of her goods
and chattles in consequence of her husband, James Charles
CoT The

feof her.
Mrs.
Cox has been a very unhappy
one. immoral, selfish, and brutal fellow,
commenced his ill-usage of her soon after marriage, and
only a fortnight after she gave him her hand and heart she
was labouring under severe illness caused by his indiscre-
tions. He abandoned her repeatedly, and but for her own
integrity, industry, and indomitable perseverance,
her husband's wishes that she woutd became a street-
walker would have been verified. Ho continued his
brutality until she caused him to be arrested and brought
before Mr. Yardley at this court, and ho was then bound
over, himself in £lO, and two sureties of £2O each, to keep
the peace and be of good behaviour towards her for two
years. He soon after deserted her, and as she had acquired
a little property by her own industry, she wished it to be
protected from her husband's avarice.
Mr. Woolrych asked the applicant when her husband
deserted her ?
Mrs. Cox—About seven years ago, to the beat of my re-
collection. The last time 1 saw him was on the day peace
was proclaimed after the Russian war.

-----
Mr. Woolrych could not recollect the day peace was pro-
claimed, and Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, believed it
was in 1857. A gentleman in court, who was appealed
to, said the event took place in 1855, and another
gentleman said it was in 1858. At last Mr. Bowdler, by
referring to the history of the Russian war, ascertained
that the Treaty of Peace was signed at Paris, Sunday,
March 30, 1856, and ratifications exchanged at Paris,
April 27, 1856. Mr. Cox then produced the certificate of
her marriage at St. Dunstan's Church, Canterbury, and
having sworn that she gave no cause for the abandonment
of her by her husband, the protection order was made out,
and signed by the magistrate, and the applicant, who had
been in continual dread of a visit from her spouse, left the
court much more happy and contented than she had en-
tered it.

Nicholls said the horse was driven about the streets

Mr. Woolrych—How old is tho horse.?
The defendant—Twelve years old, sir. I paid the fine
out of my own pocket, and released my brother on Moodas.
This statement was confirmed, and Mr. Wool rych said'
the horse ought not to kayo been sent out or driven in a
