A DOMESTIC TYRANT.—DREADFUL CRUELTY TO A
WlFE.—Richard Badre, town traveller, in the employ of
the proprietors of Scotch ale stores in Whitechapel, where
he was apprehended yesterday on a warrant, was brought
up before Mr. Yardley charged with a series of violent
assaults on his wife Sally Badre.
The prisoner is a well dressed man, about 35 years of age,
had long given way to habits of intemperance, and had
frequently beaten his wife. He had accompanied his vie,
lence with the foulest abuse, and had also gi ossly neglected
his home. The persecutions endured by the wife were most
lamentable. She appeared care worn and heart broken.
The prisoner had at last entirely abandoned her, and
though he was in the receipt of a large income
she was obliged to seek relief from the poor-
box fund, and Mr. Yardley kindly presented her
with ss. from the poor-box fund when the summons
was made returnable on Tuesday. The prisoner did not
make his appearance to the summons, a warrant was
granted, and Smith, a police-constable, No. 415 K, was
directed to arrest the prisoner wherever he could find him.
The details of the wife's sufferings created much sym-
pathy in court. She detailed many brutal assaults com-
mitted upon her while her husband was intoxicated, and
his brutality was increased by his foul language.

Several witnesses confirmed Mrs. Badre's statement,
and said they had seen her knocked down and turned out
of doors, and heard her abused and vilified, and the most
infamous language used towards her.
The prisoner did not deny what was alleged against
him, and said his wife was the best of women. In a
whining, suppliant manner he implored her to forgive him
once more, and it should not happen again. He also begged
pardon of the court, and more than once shed tears.
Mr. Yardley, in a long and eloquent address, said that
the prisoner's whining and cringing behaviour in that court
was characteristic of the cowardly manner in which he had
acted to a woman he had sworn to protect. There was no
sign of repentance on the part of the prisoner until a sum-
mons was served upon him, and then he had sent his wife
a whining, coaxing letter, and still tried to impose on his
wife by not appearing to the summons. The prisoner now,
acting through his fears and a dread of the law, pretended
to be very repentant, and asked forgiveness. An example,

and a severe one, was absolutely necessary after such a
long course of ill-treatment. He sentenced the prisoner
to three months' imprisonment and hard labour, and to

enter into his own recognisances in the sum of £5O to keep
the peace for nine months.
