A DESPERATE WlFE.—Ellen Fitzgerald, a strapping
Irishwoman, was brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe,
charged with cutting and wounding her husband, Dennis,
A labourer, whose left aim was bandaged.
The parties have been for some time dweling in Alma-
place, Cartwright•street, Rosemary-lane. On Sunday
last at dinner time, Dennis Fitzgerald was washing out a
pocket handkerchief while his wife was eating her dinner,
and he remarked that what he was doing was woman's
work, not a man's work. This provoked the ire of the
prisoner, who abused her husband, and took up a knife
with which she inflicted two wounds on his arm. He
was taken to the hospital, and has been under
medical treatment ever since. He said he was
only just recovering the use of his hand. He was very
badly wounded, and lost a good deal of blood.
The prisoner, in defence, said her husband attempted to
choke her, and was a great vagabond. She called a witness
named Briant, who said the Fitzgeralds were very sober
people, and only had a " bobbery" now and then.
Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner for trial at the Middle-
sex Sessions.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.—Mary Johnson, aged 23,
who was described as a prostitute, of 15, Star-street,
Bromley, was charged with stealing £4 in gold from the
person of Thomas Gibson, a watchmaker, of 1, Type-street,
Bethnal-green.

The prosecutor, a grave-looking old man, said he
met the prisoner last night in Bromley, and she said
that she had two sick children at home, and was in great
distress. He wanted to act a father's part towards her, and
took her to a chandler's shop and gave her bread and
cheese and a pint of small beer, with a bottle of ginger beer
in it. He then walked about with her, giving her fatherly
advice, until half-past four o'clock this morning, when he
missed four sovereigns, and then gave her into custody.
Mr. Selfe--And you were walking about with her six
hours and a half giving her fatherly advice?
The prosecutor—Yes, sir, I have fourteen children of
my own, and took pity on this young woman.
Selfe—Don't you act a fatherly part again to frail
women. The prisoner is discharged*. Give the man his
gold.

MARKETS-THIS DAY.

COVENT GARDEN.

The show of wheat is still very moderate, and the demand
rules steady at full prices. Vegetables, however, owing to
the good supply on offer, move off slowly, at our quotations.
