put up to it by a big boy, who showed him how to get
at the money, but it was not his intention to take much.
The Alderman gave some particular directions about

C LERKENWEL L.— William Gordon, a journey-rnan
tailor, aged 23, was charged by Ann, his wife, 23 year,.
of age, with having violently assaulted and seriously in-
jured her.
The proseoutrix appeared in the witness box in a
weakly state, with her head wound up and covered with
blood. _ _ _

It appeared from her evidence that she bad been mar-
ried to the prisoner only six months. He was jealou,
of her, and was in the habit of quarrelling with her with-
out the least cause. Ye,terday, at about one o'clock,
he came to his dinner which she had comfortably pro-
vided for him, when she perceived something strange in
his look and manner. They sat down together and
shortly after he took up the poker, and saying he would
have her life, he felled her to the floor with a blow which
inflicted a dangerous wound on her head. He was about
to repeat his violence, when her cries of " Murder" and
screams brought assistance, and the prisoner was taken
to the station-house by several officers, and she (prose-
cutrix) was placed under medical attendance.
The facts were confirmed by further evidence.
Mr. Corrie asked the prisoner what he had to say to
such brutal conduct ?

He did not deny the charge.
Mr. Carrie said it was a case of a most cruel nature
and deserved the infliction of the severest penalty of the
law, and he sentenced him to six month's imprisonment,
with hard labour, in the House of Correction. He also
ordered 10s. to be handed to the wife, who was so in-
jured and in distress.

WESTMINSTER.—HoIIoway, one of the summon-
ing officers of the court, introduced two clean-look-
ing Irish girls to Mr. Arnold's notice, under the follow-
ing circumstances.
Mary Foley, cne of the girls, a native of Cork, re-
ceived about a month ago a letter from her aunt, who
was engaged at some flax mills at Bow (Middlesex), in-
forming her that if she came to London she could obtain
her employment. The other girl, Norah Brien, an ac-
quaintance of the former, had a sister in the metropolis
who had some time communicated that a stout wiling
Irish girl could soon obtain a service here, and the two
girls, who were near neighbours and acquainted, booked
their passage for London per steamer, and a, rived on
Sunday morning, when, upon going to Bow, Foley dis-
covered that the flax mills had been burnt down, and
that her aunt, as well as she could learn, had gone to
Yorkshire. The other girl, Brien, was unfortunately in
no better condition, for on her way to the steamer slie
had to put up at some house for the reception of tra-
vellers, and there was robbed of her sister's letter, con-
taining her address and her passage ticket. After wan-
dering about the streets of London since ther arrival
they applie I at the police station attached to this court,
and were recommended by the inspector on duty to ap-
ply to St. Margaret's parochial authorities, and being
unsuccessful it was thought that their best course would
be to make the magistrate acquainted with their position.
Mr. Arnold, having interrogated them respecting the
r.bove statement, which they closely a ihered to, inquired
what answer they had received front the parish, it having
been intimated to him that they bal assigned a very
strange reason for not assisting them.
Tim girls replied that the man they saw at the work-
house gate told them that they had better not come there,
for they had got the cholera in the place.
Mr. Arnold thought their story a very strange one,
and inquired whether they would know the man at the
workhouse who had given them the answer they had
described.

The girls replied that they should.
Mr. Arnold directed the summoning officer to take the
girls to the workhouse and see whether they could point
out the man whose conduct, if the girls' statement was
correct, should be represented to the Poor Law B ,ard,
as it was most disgraceful to hold out a threat of cholera
to poor persons whose necessities drove them to a work
house. The relieving-officer of the parish was a:so to be
seen and told that it was his duty to relieve the girls,
who must be taken care of until inquiries were made
concernin; them.
The name of Brien's aunt is Catherine Ellis.

HAMMERSMITH.—John Redknap, a railor in her
Majesty's navy, at present attached to the Waterloo,
flag-ship, 120 guns, at Sheerness, was brought before
Mr. Paynter, on a warrant charged with having unlaw-
fully deserted his wife, Frances Redknap, and her child,
whereby they had become chargeable to the parish of
Hammersmith.

The prisoner In this case entered her Majesty's ser-
vice after he had deserted his wife, and it was supposed
that he could not be apprehended, as he was placed in a
position similar to that of a soldier, but on a reference
being made to the Mutiny Act, it was found that it did
not apply to sailors in her Majesty's service, and there-
fore the prisoner was liable.

The prisoner pleaded not guilty to the charge in the
warrant, and also declared that his wife had committed
adultery since he had been away.
The wife was then sworn, and she deposed that she
was marri-d to the prisoner on the 4th of April, 1853.
and at that time she had a little boy, about four years
of age, by another man. She had known the prisoner
since they were children, and he was perfectly aware of
her little boy-being alive at the time they were married.
They lived together up to the 12th of May last, when
the prisoner was committed from that court by Mr.
Beadon for ill-using her little boy, and he was sentenced
to two months' imprisonment. He did not return to
witness after be came out of prison, but went to live
with his friends, and upon afterwards hearing that Mr.
Bu-h was about to take a warrant out again-t him, for
neglecting to maintain her, he met her one Wednesday
evening, about a month ago, and said he would do some-
thing for her. On the followirg morning they met by
appointment, and went to Mr. Bush's office, where her
husband &Aid he was going to a place of employment,
and wanted a little time allowed him, when he would
be able to send for her. He then bade her good bye,
and left on the best of terms. She never saw or heard
from him afterwards, but she had since ascertained that
he had entered her Majesty's service, and was on board
the Waterloo, flag-ship, previously to being sent out to
the Baltic.

Mr. Benjamin Bush, the relieving officer, said the
commanding officer of the flag-ship told him that the
prisoner's pay would be thirty shillings per month be-
sides rations.

Mr. Paynter observed that the prisoner was scarcely
in a position to support his wife and her child, as his
fir.t month's pay had not yet become due.
Mr. Bush said the prisoner told him on board the
Waterloo that he was determined not to allow his wife
one farthing towards her support. He did not make
any reference to the child.

Mr. Paynter then asked the prisoner what he had to
say in not supporting the child, awl said, supposing that
his account of his wife was true, he was clearly bound to
maintain her child, as he had rendered himself liable fur
its support by marrying the mother.
The prisoner said Mr. Bush never mentioned the child.
He then stated that on the night he was sent to prison,
his wife went to Turnham-green, the quarters of the
militia, and she was afterwards seen marching throw4h
King-street, Hammersmith, in the company of a militia-
man, and with his knapsack on her back. On the fol-
lowing Sunday ~he had a militiaman with her to tea,
and he stopped with her until nine o'clock in the even-
ing. As for his not returning home to her alter he came
out of prison, it was in consequence of her having got
rid of his home, and he was obliged to go to his father.
Two men, named Carter and Fowler, were called for
the defence, and swore that an immoral intimacy had
existed between them and the complainant, but their
evidence was of so suspicious a character that the magi-
strate was almost resolved to commit them for perjury.
Mr. Paynter said be had some doubts whether the
prisoner entering her Majesty's service could be consi-
dered as having deserted his wife and her child, for which
he was liable to three months' imprisonment, and he
therefore should treat the. case as one of neglecting to
maintain. He sentenced him to be imprisoned fur one
month with hard labour, and to pay all the expenses.
The prisoner was then locked up, after shaking hands
with his father.
