THAMES.

ADULTERY IN Low LlFE.—Catherine Callaghan, a dis-
sipated, quarrelsome woman, aged 36, and described as a
costennonger, of Darby-street, Rosemary-lane, was brought
before Mr. Yardley charged with cutting and wounding
Mary Quick, of Carstine-place, Goswell-street, St. Luke's.
The complainant, a pale and careworn little woman, who
appeared to have lost a good deal of blood, and who had a
surgical plaster on her fprehead, said the prisoner had
stabbed her with a knife.

Mr. Yardley—Explain how it was, and tell me what
brought you from Goswell-stroet to St. George's-in-the-
East ? _ _ _

The complainant said her husband had abandoned her,
and had been living in a state of adultery with the prisoner.
She went to Rosemary-lane and St. George's-in-the-East
in search of him, and ultimately found him in a public-
house with the prisoner. She was about to
speak to him, when he abused her and shoved her
away from him. She was about to follow him for the pur-
pose of remonstrating with him, and advisinghim to return
home, when the prisoner seized her and held her while her
husband made his escape. The prisoner then beat her and
tore the hair out of her head, and, while they wore strug-
gling together, stabbed her with a knife on the forehead.
In answer to questions by the magistrate, the witness
said that her husband ill •used her before he left home, and
had been cohabiting with the prisoner for several weeks.
She lost a large quantity of blood after she was stabbed.
The prisoner said all that was said against her was ea-
tiroly false, and then abused the prosecutrix, and said Mrs.
Quick's sister was a common woman of the town, and Mrs.
Quick was no better.

Andrew O'Brien, a respectable working man, said that
he saw his two countrywomen, Mrs. Quick and Mrs. Cal-
laghan fighting and tearing each other, and a lot of low
blackguards looking on and laughing at them. He asked
if no one would interfere, and there was no answer. He
then assisted in taking the women's hands out of each
other's hair, and each brought a bunch of hair away with
her. The women afterwards got fighting again about the
•omplainant's husband,and Mrs. Callaghan took up a knife
and plunged it into Mrs. Quick's head.

After some other evidence, proving great provocation on
both sides,

Mr. Yardley said the conduct of O'Brien was highly
praiseworthy, and convicted the prisoner of an aggravated
assault. He sentenced her to two mouths' imprisonment
and hard labour.

sale for calves was sxtremely inactive, at a decline in prices
of fully 4d per 81bs—the top figure not exceeding 5s 6d.

well as much cows, sold heavily at late rates.
Per 81bs to sink the offal.
