The accused said she did.

Prisoner—lt was not me that did it, and I've a witness
;0 prove it.

Prisoner's mother made some incoherent remarks, which
after a caution from the Bench she repeated.
Mr. Arnold—Lot that woman bo brought forward.
This was done, when Mr. Arnold said—l cannot per-
mit the proceedings of the Court to be interrupted in this
way. You must find one surety in £2 to keep the peace
for three months.
She was removed in custody.
Police-constable 68 B said he found prosecutrix bleeding
copiously from the face, and took the prisoner into
custody. •
Mr. Arnold—l shall feel it my duty to send the case
before a jury, but I will hear the prisoner's witness if she
pleases.

A man was called, who said the prisoner's sister inflicted
he injury with a key.
Prisoner was remanded.

THAMES.

THE QUARRELSOME SlSTERs.—Elizabeth Carty, a noisy
and dissipated-looking woman, was charged with stabbing
her sister, Catherine Phillips, with a knife on the head.
The complainant, who was as pale as a spectre, and was
.in a weakly condition from loss of blood, stated that she
went on Saturday morning to assist her sister in Choppin's
Court, Old Gravel-lane, St. George-in-the-East. In the
course of the day family arguments took place, and her
sister took a knife off the table and plunged it into her
head. Her. sister was " be-daddled" with drink.

Ellen Donahoo, a widow, of No. 136, High-street, Shore-
ditch, said she was theleother of the women before the
court. Catherine Phillips was blind drunk and slapped
her sister's face. The prisoner did not strike her sister
with the knife, and the wound was not inflicted in the
house at all.

James Burke, a policeman, said he was called into the
house in Choppin's-court, and found the complainant bleed-
ing profusely. At the same time a knife was handed to him.
It was covered with blood. Mrs. Phillips said her sister
had stabbed her. The other denied having.done so, and said
they had a struggle together, and her sister fell on the
fender.

Mr. Joseph Silverthorne Belcher, a surgeon, said the
complainant had received a wound on the head three inches
above the ear. The wound was three quarters of an inch
wide and three quarters of an inch in depth, in an oblique
direction. He was of opinion the wound could have been
inflicted with the knife produced or with one like it.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

ANOTHER PAIR OF QUARRELSOME SISTERS.—EIIen
Mulcahy and Catherine Ash, two big women, sisters, were
charged with being drunk and fighting in Three Colt-street,
Limehouse, on Saturday night.

The prisoners are vendors of old shoes and garments,
and were stationed under the railway arch to the south of
Limehouse Church, and were so very successful that they
began drinking heavy, and fought. They pulled each
other about and exchanged a great number of blows. They
fell into the shop of Mr. Brown; a draper, who separated
them. He believed they would have killed each other if
he had not interfered. The prisoners and the two women,
Carty and Phillips, in the last case, are Irish cockneys, the
most troublesome part of the London population.
Mr. Brown complained of the nuisance and obstruction
caused by the noisy assemblage of vendors in Three Colt-
street on Saturdays. He had made complaints in vain of
the evil.

Inspector Beale, of the K division, said that Three Colt-
street, near Limehouse Church, had been a market and fair
every Saturday for many years. He had walked up and
down the street every Saturday at all hours. He had never
heard a single complaint of the numerous vendors of fruit,
vegetables, pamphlets, and shoes, clothes, toys, and other
things on Saturdays. The footpaths were under the super-
vision Of the parish constable and the inspector of the
Limehouse District Board of Works.

Mr. Paget said the prisoners had been locked up two
nights, and he should discharge them, but if they were
brought before him again under similar circumstance; he
should punish them severely.

"And then he drew a dial frem his poke,
And looking on it with lack lustre eye,
Says very wisely, ' It is ten o'clock :
' Thus we may see,' quoth he, how the world wags."

ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.--Pure Blood.—
As this vital fluid, when in a healthy state, sustains and
renovates every part of the living system, so, when it becomes
impoverished or impure, it exerts a precisely. contrary
effect. It is abundantly manifest that any medicine which
does not reach the circulation, can never exterminate the
disease ; but any preparation capable of exercising a sani-
tary influence over the blood, must with it be carried to
every living fibre of the frame. The lungs, heart, liver,
kidneys, and skin, all receive benefit from its more whole-
some condition. Holloway's purifying pills operate
directly, powerfully, and beneficially, upon the whole mass
of blood, whether vinous or arterial. They strengthen
the stomach, excite tho liver and kidneys, expel disease,
and prolong existence.

CURIOUS CASE.--CHARGE OF ROBRERY AT THE EARL OF
Comes.—Mary Costello, a respectable7looking married
woman, residing at Ware's-pa,ssage, Euston-road, and
lately in the service of the Earl of Cork as a•wetnurse, was
charged before Mr. Knox with stealing, at No. 1, Grafton-
street, St. George's, a dressing-gown and several other
articles, the property of St. Lawrence, Earl of Cork.
It appears that on Saturday night Police-constable Wm.
Camps, 99 C, was called to No. 1. Grafton-street, and the
accused given into custody by Lady Cork, and taken to
the Vine-street station.

On the accused being placed at the bar this morning, the
constable said there was no prosecutor in attendance, and
a letter was handed to the magistrate from the Earl of Cork
stating that he had no wish to prosecute.
The accused said the property she was charged with
stealing was her own, and was made a present to her. On
Saturday evening she was given into custody, and locked
up till Sunday afternoon, and refused bail till Lord Cork
was sent to. She was charged.falsely, and had never been
in a police court before.

Mr. Knox asked the accused whether she wished the
case gone into.

Mr. Knox said as there was no prosecutor in attendance
the accused would be discharged, and if she had been
wrongfully given into custody she could consult a solicitor.

CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—Mary Ann Carey, a respect-
able-looking woman, was placed at the bar charged with
feloniously assaulting and wounding Matilda Dawes, the
daughter of a coffee-house keeper in White Lion-street,
Chelsea.

Prosecutrix said—On Saturday night the prisoner and
two young men came into my father's house and had some
coffee. Shortly after this another woman came in and
quarrelled with one of the men, using very bad language
at the time. My father went to her and told her she must
go out, but she refused, and my father laid hold of her and
was endeavouring to put her out, when the prisoner got up
and stabbed me in the face.
Mr. Arnold—Had you at all interfered respecting the
other woman ?
Prosecutrix—Not at all. I did not know at first that
there was any connection between the other woman and
the prisoner, but when she was being put out the prisoner
said she was her sister, and she would not see her ill-used.
She then got up, and I merely said, "Don't make a noise,"
when the prisoner raised her arm and stabbed me. I saw
the knife in her hand.
Mr. George Dawes, coffeehouse keeper—l was present
when a woman was making a great noise in our house, and
I was about to put her out when the prisoner struck my
daughter with a knife in the face, and she was taken to the
hospital.
