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 constables, and wilfully break-
ing a window at the police-station.

Mrs. Andrews, who keeps the Black Horse beer-shop,
Oakham-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, lie 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 bur 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 jut, 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.
M. Arnold—How do you get your living ? You are
described on the sheet as a a servant.

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 bat for her own
integrity, industry, and indomitable perseverance,
her husband's wishes that she would become a street-
walker would have been verified. Ho continued his
brutality until sho caused him to be arrested and brought
before Mr. Yardley at this court, and he 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.

Mrs. Cox—About seven years ago, to the best of my re-
collection. The last time. I saw him was on the day poace
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 1355, and another
gentleman said it was in 18,58. At last Mr. Bowdler, by
referring to the histbry 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, an t the applicant, who had
been in continual dread of a visit from her spouse, left the
court much more happy and contented than she hod en-
tered it.

CRXELTT TO A HORSE.—Richard Brewer, a cab pro-
prietor, appeared before Mr. Woolrych charged with send-
ing out a poor old broken-down horse to be worked in a
very unsound and unfit condition.
The defendant's brother, Samuel Brewer, aged 18, and
dwelling at No. 32, Hudson's Cottages, Old Ford, Bow,
was fined 40a. on Monday. Stedman Nicholls, No. 433
repeated this morning the evidence he gave on Monday.
He found a horse and cab unattended opposite a coffee-shop
in the Milo end-road at half-past one o'clock on Monday
morning. He was about to drive the horse and cab to the
green yard when Samuel Brewer, the driver, came
out of a coffee-shop. Nicholls called his attention to the
horse, and said it was only fit for the knacker's yard. There
were running sores on its knees, cud also on the shoulder
under the collar. The animal could scarcely stand, and in
very bad condition. The driver was not wearing any badge,
but some hours afterwards a badge, No. 15,764, which, he
said, belonged to his father, was found upon him,

The defendant said he was not aware the horse
w
such a bad state, and that it was taken out of his stableas on
n
Sunday night contrary to his directions.
Nicholls said the horse was driven about the streets of
London three days in succession, before he saw it.
Mr. Woolrych—How old is the horse?
The defendant—Twelve years old, sir. I paid 'the fine
out of my own pocket, and released iny brother on Moucly,
This statement was confirmed, and Mr. Wcolrych said
the horse ought not to have been sent out or driven in a
cab at all in the state it was in. He should take into con-
sideration that the defendant had all eady paid 40s. for his
driver, and impose upon him the mitigated penalty of 20s.
