THAMES.

WOUNDING.—Mary Buckley, a middle-aged and dissi-
pated woman, was brpught before Mr. Partridge charged
with assaulting a young man named Wm. Hea.
The complainant's head was enveloped in surgical
bandages, with the words " London Hospital," in large
capitals, thereon. He was very weak from loss of blood,
and pale as a spectre. He said he was at the corner of
White Horse-court, Whitechapel, last night, and while in
conversation with a young woman he kept company with,
the prisoner, her husband, and others passed and insulted
them. The prisoner made a vulgar noise with her mouth,
and applied offensive epithets to him. He pushed her
down, and she got up and seized a brick, with which
she struck him a violent blow on the head, inflicting a
large wound, which bled copiously. Ho was carried to
the London Hospital, and his wound was dressed.
Mr. Partridge—Were you sober ?
Witness—Yes, sir; I am a teetotaller.

Martha Healey, a young woman, was called to confirm
the statement of her sweetheart, which she did, and was
asked by the magistrate if the complainant did not push
the woman down.
Witness—l did not see that.
Mr. Partridge—The young man said he did push her
down.

The Prisoner—He knocked me down, and I have wit-
nesses to prove it.
Mr. Partridge—You will enter into your own recognis-
ances to keep the peace.

Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk—You hereby acknowledge
yourself indebted to our Sovereign Lady the Queen in the
sum of .£2O, on condition that you keep the peace and be
of good behaviour to all her Majesty's subjects, and espe-
cially to William Ilea, for the next six months. Are you
content ?
The Prisoner—Quite content, your Honour. God bless
the Queen. I'll owe her £2O as long as I live.
AN IMPROPER CHARGE.—John Sheridan, a respectable
looking man, was charged with being in an enclosed yard
for the purpose of committing a felony.
Mackay, police-constable No. 414 IC, said he found the
prisoner fast asleep under a piece of timber in a cow yard
last night.
Mr. Partridge—You charge him with being there, sup-
posed with intent to commit a felony.
Mackay—Many robberies have been committed near
there. _ _

Mr. Partridge—Nonsense. You had no business to
charge him on the police sheet as you have done.

Roche, the gaoler of the court—The prisoner appears to
have just recovered from a fit of drunkenness.

Mr. Partridge—l shall mark the police-sheet with my
opinion as to the impropriety of making such a charge
against an innocent man. He went there to sleep, he was
asleep, and did not go there to commit a felony. Common
sense ought to have told you that. The prisoner is dis-
charged.

►SHIPWRECK ON THE IRISH COAST.-WEXFORD,
IRELAND, Nov. 7.—A large iron ship,. the Savoir Faire,
from Liverpool to Calcutta, with salt, went ashore this
morning, on the Blackwater Bank, during a north-easterly
wind. The Wexford and Calton lifeboats of the National
Lifeboat Institution put off, and fortunately succeeded in
rescuing the crew of 22 men. No doubt the ship will
become a total wreck. Two tugs had been telegraphed
for, for the purpose of saving that portion of the cargo
which was on the upper deck, as the lower hold was full of
water when she went ashore.
