THAMES.

JEALOUSY.—SIX MONTHS AFTER MARRIAGE.— Charles
Biggs, of No. 2, Edward-street, Limehouse, who, it was
stated, worked at and attended upon steam cranes, was
brought before 3.1 r. Paget, charged with assaulting his
wife Mary Ann, to whom be has been married six months.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, appeared for the com-
plainant.
The magistrate recommended an arrangement, and the
solicitor said he was most anxious the parties should be
reconciled, and that all Mrs. Biggs required was protec-
tion from injury.
Tho defendant declined any compromise, and the case
proceeded.
Mr. Young said the parties were married on the 9th of
May, and the defendant commenced ill-using his wife on
the sth of June. Although she was a well-behaved, de-
corous, and faithful wife, the green-eyed monster jealousy
took possession of her husband's soul, and there was no
happiness afterwards. Last Saturday week, the 16th inst.,
the defendant came home at half-past 11 o'clock. The
complainant was sitting by the fire. The defendant
wanted to send for a pot of beer. Complainant said a pint
would be enough. The landlady of the house fetched a pint
of beer, and the defendant afterwards fetched a pint of
beer. The complainant went into her bed-room, and pre-
pared to go to bed. She was undressed, and her husband
came in and would not go to bed, but laid down on the
floor. The wife pulled his cheek coaxingly, and urged him
to go to bed. Ho refused, and abused her and went into
a front room and sat on a chair. The complainant seated
herself on a chair alongside cf him, and he suddenly turned
round and struck her a brutal and violent blow on the
mouth, knocking her over, chair and all, and cutting
her lip, which for a short time bled profusely. The
defendant then struck her on the head several times.
The injured wife ran down stairs, and the landlady locked
her in her bed-room. The defendant said " l'llhave her
out," and was extremely violent and noisy. He ultimately
turned his wife out of the house, aad without any clothes
on. She was again admitted by the landlady, got into
bed, and her husband beat her again. This was only one
of many outrages olearly proved.

The prisoner, in his defence, imputed infidelity to his
wife, for which there was not the shadow of foundation.
The magistrate sentenced Mr. Biggs to two months' im-
prisonment and hard labour.

711 E DUKE OF NEWCASTLE'S BANK-
RUPTCY.

This morning the petition as to the adjudication
of bankruptcy against the Duke of Newcastle came
on before Mr. Commissioner Winslow for judgment.
The learned commissioner said that the Legislature
intended persons having the privilege of Par-
liament to be free from arrest or bankruptcy,
and therefore the petition must be dismissed with
costs.

tors' bills." Made simply with boiling water or milk.
