TELLIGENCE,--This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

DOMESTIC FELICITY.—Mrs. Welch, of High-street,
Aldgate, appealed in answer to a summons taken out
against her by her husband on account of her using
threatening language towards him.
Alderman Waterlow (addressing defendant)—Can't you
settle these disputes with ut coming here P
Defendant—Settle 'em I of course we could—he's just as
bad as I am. His temper's awful.
Complainant— The fact is, your warship, I've settled our
disputes a great many times, but it is all of no use. I've been
compelled to take out this summons as I go in fear of my life.
Alderman Waterlow—What I from defendant?

Complainant—Yes, your worship, I am afraid she ll do
for me some of these days. She has often threatened to do
so. The occasion of which I now complain is not the first
time she has taken up a knife to me.
_ _ .

Alderman Waterlow—Well, I suppose I must hear what
you have to 'ay ?
Complainant few days ago I was occupied up at the
top of my house hanging some paper, when I heard a row
below. I didn't take notice of it, because I'm used to that
sort o' thing. I shortly afterwards heard my son call out
" Look out, father, she's got a knife," and then I
saw my wife coming up-stairs towards me with
a knife concealed under her apron. This is the
one prtducing a white handled dinner Knife) I calls out to
her to stop, but she didn't take notice of that, and then I
said "If you come another step nearer me, I'll knock you
down like a bullock."
Alderman Waterlow—That was exceedingly affectionate
on your part. (Laughter.)
Complainant—Well, she comes up and takes out the
knife, and says "Now, you'll either cut my throat or I'll
cut you'rn" (laughter) and that's what I complain of.
Defendant—l used them words admit, but he's not
told you the whole o' the story, sir. Why, he attempted to
throttle me. (Laughter.)
The Chief Clerk —Then you plead guilty to the charge of
using threatening language against him.
Defendant—Well, if you call that threatening lan-
guage I must say I did use the words.
Alderman Waterlow—l must bind you over to keep the
peace towards him.
Defendant—Oh I I'll keep the peace towards him if he'll
keep the p-ace towards me. (Laughter.)
Alderman Waterlow—You must find a surety to become
bound with yourself. You can do that, t suppose ?
Befell. Lent —Yes ; but what are you going to do with him,
he attempted to throttle me,
Aide, man Waterlow—We have nothing to do with that
now. It' he threatens you you can bring him here, and if
he pleads guilty he will be punished. I bind you over with
one surety in the sum of Li to keep the peace towards your
husband for three months.
Defendant—lv'e nob ,dy here at present, but I'll get some
one I dare say, I can do that
Alderman Waterlow—Very well, when the surety is corn-
ple ed you will be discharged.
