BOW-STREET.

John Hobson, a gentlemanly dressed man, was placed
at the bar on remand charged with pointing a loaded pistol
at Mr. P. Corrie, the musical director at the Royal Music
Hall, Holborn.
It will be recollected that the prisoner was refused ad-
mission to the Music- Hall, he being in a state of intoxi-
cation when he presented himself at the hall, and
this appeared to irritate him, and he then raised
a revolver which he held in his hand and threatened to•
shoot Mr. Corrie. The pistol was taken from him, and it
was found to be loaded in each of the chambers. Sergeant
Mathews, who had charge of the case, said he had made
inquiry, and found that the pistol was purchased at a shop
in Holborn a few hours before the prisoner threatened Mr.
Corrie. It was loaded for the prisoner by the shopman.
Mr. Flowers said it was a most uncourteous thing for a
shopman to do, load a revolver for a person under the in-
fluence of drink. A man might have been shot dead
through such a proceeding, but fortunately the prisoner
bad not done any damage, and as he seemed to regret hie
conduct he should call upon him to find two sureties in £2O
each for his good behaviour for six months. If he could not
-do that it appeared to him (Mr. Flowers) that he ought not
to go at large.
On.the application of Mr. Abrams, who appeared for the
prisoner, the magistrate said one surety in £lO would do
as well.

The prisoner was put back until bail was inattendance.

THAMES.

A ROMANTIC WOMAN.—ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—EIIen
Mansen, a woman about 25 years of age, was brought be-
fore Mr. Paget, with being drunk and disorderly last
night, and attempting to commit suicide. On Tuesday
last the prisoner was before Mr. Woolrych, at this court,
en a charge of being drunk and disorderly. She was then
Ellen Hickie, and a sailor said he was prepared to marry
her, with all her faults, and Mr. Woolrych said, " well,
take her away.marry her,and keep her from strong drinks."
He did marry her, directly after he left the court, at a
neighbouring church, and the bride,bridegroorn, and friends
made a jolly day of it, and all the parties were uncom-
monly merry. Yesterday the prisoner got tipsy again,
and ut a late hour she repaired to that modern tarpeian
rock, the swivel bridge over the lock of the. London Dock.
in New Gravel-lane, and then made an attempt to drown
herself by getting over the railings, but instead of fall-
ing into the water she fell into the recess in which the
bridge swings, and was seriously hurt. A pclice-con-
stable named Thomas Gurant, 432 K, procured assist-
ance and carried her to the station-house.
Mr. Paget—ls this:woman in a sound state of mind ?
A very healthy, robust-looking sailor here got into the
witness-box and said she is right enough, sir ; she was
three sheets in the wind last night, and wanted to tumble
into the water.

Mr. Faget —ls it true you married her last Thursday ?
The sailor—Yes, sir; but I had known her eight years
before that, and always stopped with her when I came
home.

The prisoner said she was very sorry, and would not do

it again.
Mr. Paget—This is very shocking indeed. You have
now a chance of becoming a decent and respectable woman
if you lead a life of sobriety, but you will come to sorrow
and ruin if you indulge in strong drinks. You have had
a narrow escape of your life. Take her home with you
Manse; and keep her sober.
