THAMES.

A Pnacious CourLa.—John Sullivan, a dirty and
rough•looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Woolyrch,
charged :with violently assaulting a woman of the town,
named Margaret Maloney.

The complainant said that she and the prisoner came
from the same town in Ireland, and were distantly re-
lated. They had lived together off and on for some time.
There was not an ounce of her flesh that was not beaten
black and blue. Last night he came home oat of temper,
and said take that, and struck her a violent blow on the
head and knocked 1 her down, and when she was down
kicked her. He had repeatedly said he would take away
her life, and that he did not mind going to prison. He also
Carew her down stairs and bruised every bone in her body,
and if it had not been for her crinoline she would have been
killed. The witness, like all the frail sisterhood, wore a
huge crinoline, which any lady of title or fashion in the
West might have envied.

The prisoner here pointed to a scar on his forehead, and
said :—She cut my head open with a teacup. She says my
half a crown a day for dock labour is not enough to keep
her.

The complainant—He abuses me for not bringing horn e
money enough.

Frederick Martin, a police constable, No. 135 H, said he
was called in to the lodgings of Mr. Sullivan and Mrs.
Maloney, in Lambeth-street, Whitechapel, last night.
Everything in the room was brokan and smashed up, the
complainant was bleeding from the nose and mouth, and
the man's clothes were torn. They were continually quar-
relling and fighting.

Mr. Woolrych—They are a most disgraceful couple—
wosthy of each other. The prisoner has committed a most
cowardly assault, and he is sentenced to one month's im-
prisonment, and hard labour.

THE ROBBERIES IN THE LONDON DOGS.—John Healey
and Thomas Ward, labourers in the employ of the London
Dock Company, were brought before Mr. Woolrych charged
with stealing tea.
There have been numerous convictions of dock labourers
and others for stealing tea. On Saturday, the Bth instant,
Mr. Selfe sentenced a fellow named Watson to six months
imprisonment and hard labour for stealing 191 b. of tea,
which he had ingeniously contrived to secrete about his
person, and on Monday, the 10th instant, a labourer named
Haggerty was found guilty by a jury at Middlesex
Sessions, and sentenced to four months imprisonment and
hard labour for bringing 31b. of tea out of the dock. Three
summary convictions for stealing tea took place at this
cow t last week. The officers have been called upon to ex-
ercise unusual vigilance in detecting the tea thieves,
and yesterday they captured the prisoners, both labourers,
as they were leaving the dock. On Healey, an old man,
six ounces of black and green tea were found concealed in
his pockets and neckerchief. Ward had managed to secrete
fourteen ounces of tea about his person ; it was slang in
front of him, to his waistband.

In answer to Mr. Woolryoh, the officer said the prisoners
would never be employed in the dock again on any account
whatever. There were now 17 tea ships discharging their
cargoes in the London Dock.

Mr. Woolrych said the prisoners had been guilty of a
very gross breach of trust and betrayal of confidence, and
ought to protect, not plunder, their employers. He sen-
tenced them each to ten days' imprisonment and hard
labour.
