MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY)
Henry Bishop, a young man, a bricklayer, was charged
with committing the following brutal outrage on his wife.
The complainant, a young woman, of cleanly and
decent appearance, stated that she was living at No. 15,
Morton-street, Middlesex Hospital. She had been mar-
ried to the prisoner about two years, and, before a week
had expired he commenced using her in a most brutal and
inhuman manner. She was scarcely ever without a black
eye, or severe bruises about her person. She had been three
times in the hospital from his violence, and, in one
instance, her life was placed in imminent danger by his
kicking her with dreadful force on the head. His ill-
usage at length became unbearable, and, about Christmas
last, she left him, he having previously sold off all the
furniture, and dissipated the produce in drunkenness, to
which he was habitually addicted. Her father supplied
her with the furniture she had at her present
lodgings. Between one and two o'clock on Sunday
morning last, the defendant, in a state of furious drunk-
enness, gained entrance to the house, and forcing open
the door of her apartment, beat her in a most shameful
manner, and broke the chairs, table, crockery, and
nearly everything in the place. As he *as leaving the
room, lie inflicted a severe kick on her person, as she
was lying nearly insensible on the bed. This morning
he again came to her place and ill-used her, on which
she gave him in charge to the police.
Mr. MALTBY asked the defendant what he had to say
for himself ? The defendant said he certainly had
struck his wife, because she was saucy to him ; but he
did not hurt her.
Wilks, the gaoler, said the defendant had, a few
months ago, been committed from this court for two
months to hard labour, for assaulting the complainant.
The complainant said such was the fact.
Mr. MALTBY ordered the defendant to pay a fine of
51., or undergo two months more imprisonment to hard
labour.

THE 9th LANCERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sltt,—l read this morning in the Times a paragraph
quoted from the Observer headed " The 9th Lancers,"
stating that there were reports in the military circles
that in the late transactions the regiment had wholly
disappointed the general expectation, and that the cir-
cumstance was attributed to the backwardness of one
of the superior officers ; and that their readers must be
struck with their not having been mentioned in the offi-
cial accounts.
It is much to be regretted that the editor of the Ob-
server should have pulished a report without making
more careful inquiries as to its correctness.
There is no report implicating the gallantry or good
conduct of the 9th Lancers, and they are honourably
mentioned in Sir Hugh Gough's official dispatch, from
which I quote :
" The demonstration on the enemy's left by the 9th
Lancers towards the conclusion of the battle was made
in the best order under a sharp cannonade."
There certainly is a report abroad that an inquiry
into the conduct of one of their superior officers was
going on when the last mail left, at the instigation of
the officers of the regiment ; but I think it hard that
the regiment, who are as fine a regiment as any in the
service, and most anxious for distinction, should be im-
plicated in rumours only affecting an individual, and
possibly unfounded.—l amn, sir, your obedient servant,
April 13, 1846.
