GUILDHALL.

Patrick Fury and Mary Kennetly, his sister, were
again charged with violently assaulting Elizabeth
Fury, the wife of the former, whereby her life was
endangered.
This case was remanded from Saturday last for the
attendance of the prosecutrix, who was then in the
hospital, and who yesterday appeared in a very ex-
hausted state, having been conveyed from the hos-
pital to the court in a cab.
Prosecutrix said—l did live at 6, Sun-court,
Milton-street, but have no home now to go to, because
my husband broke it up last week. After leaving
this court on Friday last, when the summons against
my husband was dismissed, I went home, and shortly
after to Mary Kennedy's house, to seek my husband.
She said he was not with her then, but she expected
him there in the course of the evening, and that she
would take good care that he should never return to
live with me as long as my name was Elizabeth. I
then went to a public-house in the neighbourhood,
where I found my husband. He told me to walk out
of his sight, but I refused, and sat down, saying I had
nowhere to go but with bun. He insisted upon my
leaving the place, and I rose from my seat, when he
struck me on my mouth with his fist. Mary Ken-
nedy came up at that time, and I left the public-
house, and placing my hand on her shoulder I said,
" You wicked woman, you have instigated my hus-
band to leave me and my infant to starve in the
streets." She seized me by the hair of my head and
swung me round several times. My husband then
came out of the public-house and knocked me down,
when Mary Kennedy joined him, and they both com-
menced kicking me on the side. I got away from
them and went into Sun-court, and my husband fol-
lowed me, and said " be would be hung for me." He
again kicked me, and struck me several times, and
then continued beating me until I fell to the ground
in a state of insensibility, from which I did not re-
cover until I was in the hospital.
Alderman HUNTER said he would not dispose cf
this case until he had had time to consider whether
it would not be better to send it to the Old Bailey.
He therefore remanded it until Friday.
MARY LEB ONE.

John Owsn, a stonemason was charged with vio-
lently assaulting Mr. George Bennet, landlord of the
Ben Jonson Tavern, Harrow-road, and who, from
the serious nature of the injuries he had received, was
unable to attend.
Pamphilion, 115 D, said, about 10 o'clock on Sa-
turday night he was on duty near the Ben Jonson
Tavern, when he was called to take the prisoner into
custody. On entering the house he saw Mr. Bennet,
who was bleeding profusely from a wound on the
temple, supported by two gentlemen, who were
leading him into the bar-parlour. The prisoner was
then given into his charge for the assault. The con-
stable produced a certificate, signed by the surgeon
who had been called in to attend Mr. Bennet, which
stated that Mr. Bennet was so severely injured that
he was unable to leave his bed, and that if erysipelas
took place fatal consequences might follow.
The prisoner, in defence, said he had taken a little
too much, and was not aware that he had injured Mr.
Bennet.

Mr. BROUGHTON said he should remand tho pri•
soner for a week.
