A tall, powerful looking woman, named .mia Aw„n,
was charged by Mr. Henry Lemon, landlord of the
George Tavern, Rosemary-lane, in whose service she
had been for some time, with the following desp,rate
assault :
Mr. Lemon stated that on. Friday afternoon his wife
sent the prisoner out. When she returned she was the
worse for liquor, and nearly let his child which she was
carrying fall out of her arms. A woman who was
standin, at the bar took it from the prisoner, who im-
mediately seized her by her hair and dealt her a violent
blow on the head. Witness interfered, when the pri•
soner assailed him with the foulest epithets, struck him
several blows, and then proceeded to demolish two
squares of glass, two bottles of gin, broke a tub contain-
ing a gallon and a half of bitters, and finally took up a
knife and threatened to stab him. • i
This evidence having been corroborated,
Mr. TIALLANTINE inquired if the woman who had been '
injured was present, and on receiving an answer in the
nega ive, directed her to be informed that she must take
out a warrant against thit prisoner, whom in the mean-
time he sle ulft fin, 255., the amount of the damage done,
or a month's impri ooment.
The prisoner, who said nothing in her defence, was
removed, and the Magistrate again directed Mr. Lemon
to follow up the case, which he con.idered a most serious
one, by bringing other witnesses who were said to have
been prestait at the transaction, on the occasion of her
appearing to answer the warrant.

James Cuffc and George Cu
.tre were charged with
stooling 4o -overeigns and a 51. note, the proptrty 0:
Thomas Lloyd.
From the evidence of a number of witnesses it p-
peared that the prisoner James lodged at the house of
the prosecutor, with a person whom he call d his wife.
The prosecutor had in his box 40 sovereigns and a a
note, and on Sunday, the 2d instant, upon his going to
the box, he found that twO of the screws fastening the
stapl,! had been removed, and the box being still locked,
it was opened, and then he s.tv that his money was
taken. The younger prisoner called to see his brother
the day before. The prosecutor gave iiformation
to the police. Soon afterwards the elder prisoner
k-ft the lodgings, but being wary hed closely, he
was traced to a house near Drury-lane, which
!
was found to be well furnished, and each of the
prisoners had a good silver watch .upon him, although
previously they were known to have been in ratherdis-
tresied circumstances.
Mr. ARNOLD, the sitting magistrate, ordered the pri-
soners to be remanded until Friday next, in order that
further inquiries might be made about the disposal of the
prosecutor's money.

FIRE ON THE LONDON AND N ORTII.WESTERN
RAILATAL—Betsvem twelve and one o'clock on Frirday
morning, when the down luggage train on the London
and North-Western line was near the Willesden station,
trucks was discovered to be on fire,
and the train was instantly stopped. Immediate exer-
tions were made to subdue the flames, but without effect,
as the first truck was speedily on fire from end to end,
and before the vehicle could be detached from the train
two others were also on fire. Other assistance, however,
speedily arrived, and
by great exertions the destruction
of property was confined to the three trucks with their
contents, all of which were totally consumed. The amount
of property destroyed has not yet been ascertained. The
accident is supposed to have been caused by a red-hot
cinder having been thrown from the engine.

drag tho horse out by ropes, the footpath and roadway

the earth to some depth, thus enabling the animal to
walk out. escaped being
