DREADFUL ASSAULT BY A MAN ON MS WIFE.-Mr.
Stoddart, solicitor, applied to Mr. Woolrych for a warrant
to apprehend a dock labourer named James Elson, of No.
4, Salter-street, Canon .street-road, for committing a savage
assault on his wife. He pointed to a woman who was in a
weakly condition, and who was supported by another fe-
male. Her eyes were frightfully swollen and blackened,
and her face one mass of bruises. Mr. Stoddart said the
woman's husband came home intoxicated on Friday night
and demanded money, which she could not give him, on
which he beat her with his clenched fists about the head
and body, and when she fell he kicked her on the side. She
had been under medical treatment. She had been raised
from her bed, and brought to this court on Saturday evening,
but owing to a pressure of business she could not see the
magistrate. Dr. Kay, of the Commercial-road, who had
been in attendance on Mrs. Eisen, said she was much in-
jured, and was afraid her nose was ken. About twelve
months ago the husband was charged at this court with an
aggravated assault en his wife. The case was adjourned
for three weeks to enable the parties to coma to some ar-
rangement.

Mr. Woolrych—You may have a summons against the
husband.

Mr. Stoddard—Will you grant a warrant, sir. This is a
very bad case.

Mr. Woolwrych—lf the husband will appear to the
summons there is no occasion for a warrant. If he does
not appear to the summons, I will grant a warrant for his
apprehension directly.

polio, and approved by Sir George Grey, the Home Secre-
