The prisoner, in defence, said her husband threatened to
rip her open with a knife, and she took up a poker to de-
fend herself, and gave her husband some taps with it.
Mr. Partridge was satisfied the prisoner was a very vio-
lent woman indeed, and that she had wantonly and mali-
ciously beaten her husband and done him very serious in-
jury. He sentenced her to two months' imprisonment and
hard labour.

THE CAPTAIN ON A WRONG TACK.—Matilda Purdy, a
Lail and strapping wench, aged 25, of No. 2, Sarah-street,
Poplar, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with
stealing £8 10s. in gold from the person of Captain Edward
Hood, of Time-street, Newcastle, and master of the ship
John, lying in the river.
It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, a red-
faced, weather-beaten north country mariner, that he ar-
rived here on Sanday last with his ship. Last night he
came on shore for a cruise and aoet with the prisoner. He
treated her with grog and a supper. He was a "little by
the head," and he agreed to stop all night with the prise•
ner. They went to No. 2, Sally•street.
The prisoner—Sarah-street.

Mr. Partridge—And was the prisoner gone too?
Captain Hood—No, sir; she stuck by me all night and
never left me.
The prisoner said the prosecutor declared when he missed
his gold that ho had put it under the carpet of the room
in which they slept all night, and caused the carpet to be
taken up, She
never saw his gold.

The Captain—l am sure it was stowed away in my
pocket.
Mr. Partridge said the prisoner was intoxicated last night,
and he could place no dependence on what he said. He
advised the prosecutor, who was the master of a ship, and
ought to set a better example, not to pick up with such
company as prostitutes in future, and to avoid a place like
Sarah-street, Poplar, when he came to this port again. He
discharged the prisoner.

NETROPOLITAN CATTLE.
To-day's market was well supplied with beasts as to
number, but their general quality was inferior. Prime
stock sold steadily at full prices ; otherwise, the beef trade
was heavy, at barely late rates. The show of sheep was
only moderate. Downs and half-breds were quite as dear
as on Monday, with a good consumptive inquiry. Heavy
breeds were dull, but not cheaper. A few very inferior
Downs sold at 5s 4d per 81bs. Calves, the supply of which
was moderate, moved off slowly at barely stationary prices.
Pigs, however, were in fair request, and rather dearer.
Milch cows supported previous rates.
