with the following brutal and unprovoked attack upon a
woman. 'Mrs Barnes. a young married woman, said that
she was returning home with her hubband and a friend
last night when the defendant came up and used a very
disgraceful expression to her. She threatened to give
him into the custody of the police, when he gave her a
violent blow in the eye and she fell up against some rail-
ings. Defendant said the account given of the transac-
tion was all wrong ; but an independent witness informed
his worship her version of the outrage was quite correct.

sons, machinist, of No. 26, Little Windmill-street, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the Marlborough-street

said that last night he was on duty in Brewer-street, when
he was informed that a man had been ill-used in Wind-
mill-sheet, and on going to No. 26 in the street, and
charging the prisoner with ill-using a man of the name of
James Thomas, the only reply he made was that Thomas
had been interfering with him all day, and that he could
stand it no longer. He took the prisoner into custody, and
the injured man was taken to the Charing-cross Hospital,
and was at present unable to attend. Mr. Tyrwhitt re-
manded the prisoner, who it was stated was married yes-
terday, till Wednesday next.

Inverness, the other day for stealing a pig. In order to
prove that a pig found in the woman's possession was the
pig which wag missing from the prosecutor's house, the
animal was produced in court, much to its own dismay
and the public amusement. When the policeman was
carrying it in the animal squealed and struggled violently,
but after being safely deposited on the floor it became
reconciled to its novel position, gave a few satisfied
grunts, and trotted in among the members of the bar. The
witnesses fully identified the pig, and the theft was clearly
traced to the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of
guilty, and the woman was sentenced to ten months'
imprisonment.

UNRULY UNDERGRADUATES AT CAMBRIDGE.—A
Cambridge correspondent writes :—" In consequence of
the inconvenience arising from the crowding in the body
of the Senate House on public occasions, and the inde-
corous conduct of the undergradutes in the galleries,
a syndicate was appointed to consider what means might
be advantageously adopted for providing seats and for
maintaining order. They report that it is desirable to use
more frequently the system of admission by tickets, and
to have a separate entrance on the south side of the Senate
House like that now used by the doctors on the north side
They recommend that the undergraduates who are found
to interrupt the public proceedings in an unseemly
manner should be severely punished, and that a syndicate
be appointed for the care and superintendence of the
Senate House. _ _
