MA.RLB OR O U Glb STREET.

iliichael Kelly, residing in Leicester-street, Re-
gent-street, was charged with violently assaulting a
young widow of respectable appearance. The case
was of an extraordinary character. The widow
stated that she had been spending the evening at
her brothel's, where she had partaken freely of
liquor. On her coming out into the air she became
insensible, and on her recovery from her stupor she
was alarmed on finding herself in bed with the pri-
soner. She instantly jumped up, and endeavoured
to leave the house, but was prevented by the pri-
soner. A violent struggle ensued, during which he
forced away an iron window-bar, which the com-
plainant had caught hold of, and attempted to throw
her on the bed. Her screams brought up the land-
lord, when the prisoner threatened to murder him
if be attempted to enter. Two policemen, how-
ever, were called in, and the prisoner conveyed to
the station-house.
The prisoner, in defence, said, that she had con-
sented to accompany him for money; but the com-
plainant declared most solemnly that she had no
money with her, which was confirmed, and that
her character hitherto would bear the strictest in-
vestigation.
The Magistrate observed, that, under the cir-
cumstances, it would be impossible to entertain the
principal charge; but that he should fine the prisoner
3/. for the brutal assault. In default of payment,
he was committed for six weeks to hard labour.
