MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Yesterday. these Sessions commenced before FRANCIS
CONST, Esq. and a full bench of Magistrates.
Mrs. SIMEON, the mother of Mrs. Chatterley, the Aetna,
was tried for committing an assault upon Mrs. Christmas.
Mr. CHAS. PHILLIPS, for the prosecution, stated the Pee,
in doing which he said he should avoid any allusion to certain
scandalous hints that had been thrown out, and which he be-
lieved to be without foundation.
Mrs. Christmas stated the facts of the case as they appeared
in the Bow-street account. She had gone to the house at which
Mrs. Simeon lodged in Craven-street, when Mrs. Chatterley
was at the door, and entered the hall, in which Mrs. Simeon
met her, and struck her in the mouth with a candlestick.
Cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY—It was between nine and'
ten at night ; took tea for supper, and nothing stronger than
tea the whole day. Mrs. Chatterley parted with Mr. Christmas
at the top of the street, but witness had never seen him with
her ; never touched nor attacked Mrs. Chatterley. Had in
fit sworn that she would wish to dip her hands in Airs. Chatter-
ley's blood ; never swore that she would cut Mrs. C.'s face into
deformity, but said she would scratch it; had often seen Mrs.
C. and her husband together.
Re-examined.—Had been six years married to Mr. Christ.
mas, and had a difference with him before he saw lUrs. Chatterley.
Mrs. McDonald, the landlady, stated that she opened the
door for Mrs. Chatterley. There was confusion in the hall, and
Mrs. Chatterley said she should be murdered. Mrs. Simeon
came from the parlour into the hall, and Mrs. Christmas bled
at the mouth.
Cross-examined.—Mrs. Simeon was very ill at the time, and
could not be left alone. The knock at the door was alarm-
ing, and so was the noise in the hall. When Mrs. Chatter-
ley entered the house Mrs. Christmas had, witness believed,
hold of her : had seen Mr. Christmas at the house,_ in com-
pany with Mrs. Chatterley and Mrs. Christmas also. Mr.
Christmas had been once at the house after ..11rs. Christmas
had left off coming, but that was to write letters for Mrs. Chat-
terley. Mrs. Simeon and Mrs. Chatterley left witness's house
on account of the rent, and there were also some words about
Mrs. Christmas, as witness did not wish that lady to call.—
Charles Belvin attended Mrs. Christmas to the house : she waS
quite sober, and never abused Mrs. Chatterley.

Mr. BOLLAND, in addressing the Jury, accounted for the
circumstances which had excited the jealousy of Mrs. Christ-
mas. Mrs. Chatterley, much to her honour, had after the de-
cease of her husband aid off his debtsto the extent of upwatfl*
of 400!., and she availed herself of Mr. Christmas's services is
settling the accounts. He represented that Mr. Simeon could
have known nothing of what had occurred outside the door, but
having heard her daughter implore assistance, in her case of ex•
tremity, she had started up from her sick couch to defend her.
Mrs. Simeon was therefore justified. She was nearly 70 years
of age, and extremely' infirm, but such were her fears for her
child that she forgot those impediments. It was to be regretted
that such a delusion existed in the mind of Mrs. Christmas on
jealousy` but it was well known how hideously such a piaisshr
would operate, notwithstanding that there existed no do
the world that. the suspicion could be traced to no source.
Mr. PHILLIPS asked whether Mr. Bolland would call Mrs.
Chatterley ?
