ASSAULTING A WIFE..

James Burton was indicted for feloniously assaulting his
wife with intent, &c.

The prisoner and his wife had only been married two
years, there being one child. The wife separated from her
husband on the ground of his alleged cruelty towards her;
and on the day the assault took place the parties met in
Phosnix-street, Brick-lane, where the prisoner lived, and
carried on the business of a shoemaker. Although gene-
rally a well-conducted man, the prisoner had been drinking,
and on the refusal of the wifo to return home he struck
her with a shoemaker's knife and inflicted two wounds on
her neck. Assistance being at hand, tire woman was
rescued and the prisoner was given into custody.
Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, but strongly recom-
mended him to mercy.
Sentence deferred till next session.

Frederick Dickinson, pugilist, and John Harrington
were charged with a robbery with violence, and stealing a
gold chain, value £6, from William Tidy.
It appeared that a quarrel took place at the White Lion

scuttle.

The jury acquitted both prisoners.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH -STREET, THIS DAY,

THE HAYMARKET AGAlN.—Several charges from the
above place were brought before the magistrate this morn-
ing.

George Henry Garcey, of 20, Haverstock-hill, Camden-
town, and Joseph Whitbread Jones, of 17, Water-lene,
City, wine merchant, were charged with being drunk and
disorderly in the Haymarket.
John Brown, 128 C, proved seeing the defendants trying
to get into the Turkish Divan, in the Haymarket, about 1
this morning, and as they got a large crowd of disorderly
persons round them, and refused to go away, he took them
into custody, with assistance.

Mr. Knox asked the defendants what they had to say,
and they replied that they were inebriated.
Mr. Knox—l wish young gentlemen like you to feel that
to be found at such an hour in the Haymarket, with the
dregs of society, is a far greater punishment than any
trumpery fine I can impose. I wish you to feel the posi-
tion you are in, being placed in a dock where perhaps the
next two persons placed there may be thieves, and also that
your friends will know.where you have been. Don't come
here again.
The defendants were fined 10s. each.

Edward Douglas, a inedical student, was next charged
with assaulting Nathan Leech, 324 A, in the Haymarket,
but tho case was ordered to stand back for the attendance
of a witness.

The defendant was afterwards fined 10s.
Frederick Manford and Elizabeth Evans were charged
with being drunk and riotous in the Haymarket.
The first was fined 55., and the last-named, a drunken
prostitute, was committed for a month.
The female alleged that she had been ill-treated by the
police, but there were no grounds for the allagation, and it
was proved that she was a very disorderly person.

John Collins, a footman, at 11, Bolton-row, was charged
with being drunk and creating a disturbance in the same
place.

Fined ss.

There were other similar cases, and in each case a fine
was imposed.

DARING HOUsRBREAKING A 7
TRANMERE.

Yesterday afternoon a case of housebreaking oc-
curred at Lower Tranmere, accompanied with daring
impudence and brutality on the part of the thieves
not often heard of in that locality. About half-past
3 o'clock, a lady who resides in a house not far from
the railway noticed three men lounging about near
the residence of Mr. Arthur, one of the Sea Bank
villas, and was induced to watch them. She saw one
of these men proceed to the rear of the premises,
and enter by the back door, and shortly afterwards
the two other men, who had remained in the front
of the house, entered by the front door. Thinking

joiner and builder, whose residence is is the imme-
diate vicinity of Mr. Arthur's, and to whom
Sea Bank Villas belong. On hearing what had
taken place, Mr. Collis at once went to the house
in question, and found the three men in the sitting
room. The moment Mr. Corris made his appear.
ance the fellows pretended to be bailiffs come to
" take possession," and one of them took out a book
and began writing, as though he was taking an
inventory. Mr. Corris inquired their business there
and offered to give them every or any information
they required. The scoundrels made no reply, but
taking life-preservers from their pockets, they made
a murderous assault on the unfortunate gentleman,
beating him about the head and face most unmerci-
fully. He shouted murder with all his might, and
fortunately for him his cries were heard by some of
his workmen and the neighbours, who rushed to
the rescue. Finding they were in danger, the
cowardly assailants beat a retreat, rurning in
different directions. Two of them bolted from
the house by the front door across the ad-
joining fields, pursued by the workmen and other
people, who raised a hue and cry that attracted
general attention. Several of the county police were
on duty in the neighbourhood at the time, and joined
in the pursuit. One of the housebreakers was appre-
hended by police officer No. 110 (Potts) in the Old
Chester-road, and another by No. 198 (Jas. Oakes)

As-
sistance was rendered to Mr. Corris as soon as pos-
sible. He was found covered with blood, and we
regret to state that he has sustained great injury
—a severe contused wound on the left side of the
head, another contused wound no the shoulder, and
others on various parts of the body ; and he has lost
a considerable quantity of blood. Dr. Gorst and
other medical gentlemen were speedily in attendance
upon him, and it is satisfactory to know that no
immediate danger is anticipated. It seems that at
the time their house was entered Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur had gone from home, and shortly after they
left the servant also went out, so that it is evident
the scoundrels had been lounging about in the
vicinity, and had watched for an opportunity of
committing the depredation unmolested by the in-
mates. Though they had been but a few minutes
in the house they had ransacked a portion of it, and
carried off a quantity of jewellery, which they
dropped in their flight, and it was taken possession
of by the police. The two captured men were con-
veyed to the county lock-up, where they still re-
main. They are respectably dressed, but they are
no doubt well acquainted with this kini erf busi-
ness. A number of skeleton keys were found upon
one of them, we understand. They refuse to give
their names. The life preservers with which they
attacked Mr. Collis are in the hands of tae police.
