POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Da

MANSION-HOUSE.
CHARGE OP MANSLAUGIITER.—Ann Harnett was placed
before the Lord Mayor charged with causing the death of
Joseph Holland.
Mary Ann Allington said she lived with deceased as his
wife. They occupied apartments in the name house as the
prisoner, in Smith's-buildings, Bishopsgate-street. About
three weeks ago, for some cause she did not know, the
prisoner threw a quantity of water over her as she was
in the yard. The deceased remonstrated with her, and
asked why she had done it. Prisoner replied that it was
an accident, but on Saturday, the 10th instant, she again
quarrelled with her. The deceased was sitting in the par-
lour, and on his hearing the disturbance, he came out into
the passage, and said he would have no quarrelling there,
but that he would settle all differences with the prisoner in
another way (meaning that he would take out a summons
against her). Upon hearing this she rushed furiously at
him,
and struck him with great force with both fists
in the chest. He fell into the room, and in doing so the
lower part of his back hit the table, which prevented his
going into the fire. The prisoner then got hold of her, and
as she
he was using her very roughly the deceased came for-
ward again and released her (witness) from the
prisoner's hold. She then seized him by the
shirt and tore his sleeve out, after which she went away.
Holland went to bed about ten minutes after, but after do-
ing so, he said he was frightened at what had taken place.
When be got up on Sunday morning he appeared in his
usual health, and went to his work at Messrs. Defries, the
gas engineers. He did not complain of feeling unwell be-
fo doing so. At six o'clock in the evening he was
broughtre home by two of his fellow-workmen, who said
he had been emitting great
quantities of bloood. The parish
surgeon was sent for, and he attended on Tuesday evening,
and him daily until last Thursday morning, when he
died. sall
She had lived with deceased as his wife for the last
two years, and he never had complainee of anything being
the matter with him.
Esther Holland, mother of the deceased, who lived in the
to that occupied by the deceased, corroborated
the e
the last witness in every particular. She

said she of
had never heard him complain of any ail-
ment ; on the contrary, he always enjoyed good health.
