SOUTHWARK.

A BRUTAL HUSBAND.—TimothyLeary, described as a
labourer employed at Bankside, was charged with assault-
ing oie wife.
Johanna Leary, the complainant, who had two black eyes,
and whose face exhibited other marks of ill usage, and who
carried an infant in her arms, stated that about one o'clock
last Saturday night she went into the street for the pur-
pose of inducing her husband.to return home. She met
him ,and requested him to come back, and mentioned that

the child was ill. She gave him no provocation, but he
struck her, kicked her violently, and knocked her down.
They had been married about a year and nine months, and
the prisoner commenced his ill treatment, which was of the
most brutal description, shortly after the marriage.
Mr. Burcham, addressing the prisoner, said that he could
send him to prison for six months with hard labour, and it
would serve him right. Unf.rtunstely, however, he could
not inflict that sentence without at the same time punish-
ing his unfortunate wife and child, who would in all pro-
bability be thrown on the parish, but he assured him that
even that consideration would not influence him if the
prisoner were again brought before him on a similar charge.
The corullainant said that she was unable to support
herself, or she would not live with him.

Mr. Burcham inquired if the prisoner would be able to
procure any bail for his future good conduct, but it appeared
that no person felt inclined to undertake that responsibility.
The worthy "magistrate bound him over, in hisown
security, to keep the peace for six months.

THE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.—AII incorrigible offen-
der, Ellen White, a smartly dressed, and very impudent
girl, aged 15, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with
robbing her parents.
The prisoner was before the magistrate some time ago,
and she was then charged with obtaining goods and
money under false pretences of tradesmen, and after
a week's remand she expressed her sorrow for what
she had done, and to behave better in future.
She was then discharged with an admonition. Lat-
terly the prisoner had relapsed into bad courses, and
her last act was to steal a shirt valued at 3s. Gd. belonging
to her father, which she sold to a "leaving shop" keeper
for Bd. A man named Johnson, who gave, or rather lent.
this Bd. on the shirt, said he intended to let the prisoner
have the shirt again.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
NI. Selfe commented on the conduct of Johnson, the
proprietor of the leaving shop, and said that such places
ought not to be tolerated. He was afraid the prisoner watt
a very bad girl. She was charged with many frauds a,
long while ago, and then was very mercifully, too znerci_
fully treated. He was afraid the prisoner would come to
lie sentenced her to three months' imprison-
mgreenatt
angridefhard labour.
