A REGULAR TERMAGANT.—Mary Page, a strong and
masculine-looking woman, with a baby in her arms, was
brought before Mr. Woolrych, in custody of Daniel Smith,
an officer of the court, charged with assaulting Mary Page,

an elderly woman.
The case arose out of a transaction which took place in
a Intable yard in Poplar, a few weeks since. There was a
great disturbance there, and a police-constable was seriously
wounded with a pitchfork. Tb a offender was committed
for trial. The complainant, Mrs. Page, was a witness on
the occasion. Directly the parties left the court one of
the witnesses was struck in the passage on the eye, and on
the same night a mob, consisting of the friends of the ruffian
who was committed, assembled in front of the com-
plainant's residence in Brunswick. road, Blackwell,
and set up a shouting and yelling, and also
threw stones at the windows of the house. The
woman rose from her bed for the purpose of expostulating,
and was assailed with the most vulgar abuse and threats.
One stone hit her on the head. The complainant spoke
doubtingly of the prisoner at first, but afterwards said that
she was sure the prisoner was among the rioters.
Mary Ann Stnerman said she was struck on the eye in
the passage of the court, directly after the investigation of
the riot of June.

Other evideuee was given, from which it appeared that
the prisoner lutd been in custody before fos an assault, and
that she did not appear to the summons against her, and
was arrested on Saturday night upon a warrant.
Mr. Woolrych said if he had been satisfied the prisoner

was among the rioters on the night in question he would
have punished her with great severity. The prosecatrix had
spoke doubtingly of the prisoner's identity at the commence-
ment of the inquiry.
The complainant said she was sure the prisoner was
among the rioters on the night in question. She saw her
and spoke to her. She also saw her strike a witness in the
passage of the court.
Mr. Woolrych said it was a serious offence to assault and
intimidate witnesses, and he should have punished the pri-
soner with six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour if he
had been quite satisfied she had participated in the outrage.
The complainant first spoke doubtingly of the prisoner, and
he should discharge her.
