POLICE-THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET.

TEE THEE GRACES.—ASSAULT.—Amelia Alder was
placed at the bar, charged with assaulting her sister, Emma
Wall.

The complainant, a very lusty woman, whose face bore
strong evidence of punishment, said—l live in Short's-
gardens. The prisoner is my sister. This morning we
had a few words, when she took up a brick and bashed it at
my head.
Prisoner—Oh I what a falsehood.

The gaoler—Be quiet. Hold your tongue.
Prisoner—l shan't. 1 can't hold my tongue when she's
telling such lies about me. (Laughter.)
Mr. Corrie—But I say you must.
Prisoner—Very well, sir, then I'll I try.
Mr. Corrie—ls there any person who saw this sisterly
quarrel ?

Police-constable 116 F said—My attention was called
this morning about nine, o'clock to a disturbance in Drury-
lane. I went up and saw the prosecutor strike another
woman—not the prisoner. I parted them, and they went
away.

Prisoner—Of course she did. It was my other sister;
she's in court ; she's my witness.
The sister alluded to, who was in the body of the court,
here exclaimed, " Yes, that's right; here I am." As she
refused to remain quiet while the charge was being taken
she was I emoved out of court.
The Prisoner—Let her stop ; she's my witness. It's very
hard my witness should be shoved out—(laughter)—whit•
hers (pointing to the complainant) is allowed to remain.
(La7ughter.) We're all three sisters. (Laughter.)
Mr. Corrie (to complainant)—Have you any witnesses ?
Complainant—Yes, sir ; here she is.
Mary Powey—Wail is my mother-in-law. (Laughter.)
This morning she and the prisoner had a fight.
Mr. Corrie—But who began it ?
Witness—Well, Alder threw the brick first; but after.
wards they both went down on the ground.
Complainant—Look here, sir, where the brick hit me on
the forehead.
Mr. Corrie (to the prisoner)—Now let me hear your wit-
ness.

Prisoner—Look at the lump of hair, sir, she (corn-
plainant) lugged out of my head. (Laughter.) The pri-
soner here held up about a handful of hair. Here, Sarah,

come up.
Sarah Bowles—The prisoner and complainant are my
sisters. I have for some time been living in the house of
the stout 'un (complainant), but she gave me warning a
short time ago to quit, and I went. A week or two ago
Wall lent me a pair of trousers, which I pawned, and spent
the money with her in gin. This morning I went to com-
plainant's house to give her the trousers, when she threat-
ened to give me in charge for stealing them. I told her it
was a lie, when she catches up a brown baking dish, which
she broke over my head—(laughter)—she also threw three
tea-cups at me. I bolted out, when she foliowel me, and
then we had another fight, when she struck me in the face.
Mr. Corrie—Then that was before the battle with the
prisoner.

Witness—Yes, sir, the policeman came up and separated
us. She said me and my husband were pot stealers and
pot melters.
Prisoner—Yes, sir, and then I went up to Wall some
time after to ask her why sho called Sarah a thief, she
made no more to do but pitched into me—(laughter)—and
we both had a fight, and went down together.
Complainant—Look, sir, where she's bit me, pointing to
a severe wound in her arm.
Prisoner—She's made it worse by putting salt upon it.
Mr. Corrie—l cannot pass over such a circumstance as
that.

not done so.
Prisoner—Look at the size of her—(laughter)—and look
at me. Why, she got me down, and was kneeling on me,
what chance had I. She weighs about 20 stone. (Laughter.)

Mr. Corrie—l shall fine you 10s., or seven days.
Prisoner—Thank you, sir. She then left the dock
laughing and dancing, and turning round to the com-
plainant, who was following her, said, " You've got a jolly
lot of satisfaction now, havn't you ? " (Laughter.)
