CLERKENIVELL.

James Shaw, a determined looking Irishman, was
charged by Margaret Death, a young woman, with
having brutally assaulted her.
The prosecutris, who was dreadfully disfigured,
said that for some time past she had cohabited with
the prisoner as his wife. Oa Wednesday night, at
ten o'clock, she left her residence, No. 20, Bell-court,
Gray's Inn-lane, and went to a public-house in the
neighbourhood to request him to accompany her
home. He refused to do so, but beat her most shame-
fully on the head with a tin warming-can, and
would have murdered her had it not been for the in-
terference and assistance of some persons present,
who called a policeman and gave the prisoner into
custody.

Mr: TYRWHITT fined the prisoner 403., or one
month's imprisoniment.

On the instant the sentence was passed the prisoner
made a spring, leaped over the bar, and, with his
clenched fist, struck the prosecutrix a desperate blow
on her head, which knocked her down. He then
kicked her on the side. and was about to jump upon
her body, when he was seized and pinioned by
several policemen, and prevented doing further
mischief. After a most determined resistance he was
again placed at the bar, aril charged with the second
asssult, when he was fined 51, or two months' impri-
sonment with hard labour in the House of Correction.

William Keely, aged 16, was charged by John
Buckley, a young man, with having stabbed him with
intent to murder him.

The prosecutor was in a very weakly state through
loss of blood, and was allowed a seat while he gave
his evidence. He fainted several times, and was evi••
dently suffering great pain.
Mr. TTRWHITT asked the prisoner what he had
to say to so serious a charge P He said—l did it
because he kicked me.

The prosecutor denied this.
Mr. TYEWIIITT said he would remand the prisoner
for a week, when the fate of the injured man could be
made known.

Ile was taken back to the hospital.
