from Hamburg, relative to the statements which have
recently been published in the English newspapers upon
the subject of the abduction of a girl, named Susannah
Evans, from London, who was detained and sent back
by the authorities at Hamburg, which statements the
nolice of that city considered, in some respects, to he
incorrect, and to cast reflections upon them which they
did not deserve :

"Tim police of Hamburg were requested, by a tele.
graphic message from the Superintendent of Police, City
of London, on the 6th March, to arrest one Susannah
Evans, who was about to arrive in company of a man,
whose description was given, and several other females,
by the steamer Countess of Lonsciale, on the 7th March,
at Hamburg. The necessary measures for the fulfilment
of this request were immediately adopted, and the desig-
nated persons were, at their arrival on board the steamer
taken into custody by the police, and brought directly to
the head office of the police. These persons were the
above-named Susannah Evans, five other English girls,
and one Maria Schein, who accompanied them. These
persons were interrogated by a functionary of the Crimi-
nal Jurisdiction, who is conversant with the English lan-
; guage. It became evident, by such inquiry, that Susan-
; oaf' Evans, who said she was 15 years of ate, but who
appeared older, has not fully known for what prpose
she hal been brought over. The other girls, who had
evidently belonged to the worst class of London prosti-
tutes, had come over with the free resolution to enter
into a house of prostitution, an l they declared that such
was still theirintention. It was found necessary to send
three of these girls to the hospital, in consequence of
bodily indisposition. The remaining two, being of full
age, so that the police had no right to interfere, went to
a brothel kept by a person named Munch, according to
their own wish.
" Some days later the police officer, whos 3 arrival had
been announced by the telegraphic message, presented
himself to the police at Hamburg. Susannah Evans,
who till then had not been kept in a house of detention, I
but who had been given into the charge of a respectable
private woman, was placed at the disposal of the English
police• officer, and the proceedings of the police were
communicated to him. The interview he desired with
the other girl; wee not only conceded, with all possible
facility, but an effer was made to him to take back with
him all those persons, but he declined to do el, after
having seen the two prostitutes at the house of Niunch,
Goal having refused to see the three other girls, who had
been sent, to ti:e hospital.
" In this whole case the Hamburg police have acted
With the strongest desire to facilitate the object of the

fulfilled, and who desired, on his departure, to be Pre-

that all his wishes had been attended to, and that his
superiors would he willing to reciprocate their vrvices.
" It may also be stated that the accusation of theft
against Susannah Evans, alluded to in the English
papers, had hardly come under consideration, but was
immediately overruled on the production of the letter
referred to."

The Lord Mayor said he felt sure that the press would
give the same fair publicity to the communication which
had been male on the part of the police of Sunburg,
as had been given to the report of the London officer.
BRUTAL ASSSULT.—.IoIuz, Felix, a powerful fellow,
who Eaid he was a labourer, was charged with commit-
ting a most brutal and ruffianly assault upon a woman
vyith wimin he had for some months cohabited, named
Mary Ann Brookes. The prisoner had been remanded
for some days, in order that the prosecutrix, who had
been an inmate of St. Bartholomew's Hospital ever since
the time the assault was committed, might prrsonally
attend. The following is the evidence in support of the

charge :
J. Fisher, city constable, No. 672—About half•past
11 o'clock on the night of the assault, I went to the

third floor of No. 11, Foster street, where I saw the
prosecutrix lying on her back in the room ; her head
was in a pool of blood, which was running from her
mouth and nose. I then fetched a surge,m, after which
I removed her to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. On my
Apprehending the prisoner he said he had struck her in
the face, but he did not think it was anything serious.
John 111‘Leod—I reside in the same house as the pri-
soner and prosecutrix did. When I went up stairs about
9 o'clock on the night in question, there was a row. I
saw the prisoner give the prosecutrix a smack on the
right side of the face. She then ran down stairs,
he pursuing her. She again came up stairs, following
me, when the prisoner took her up in his arms and
threw her down on the floor. She went to the window,
and said to the prisoner, "This is the last time you
shall do this if I get over it." He then went up to her
and knocked her down with his fist, on the face, on the
right side, and she appeared senseless. While she was
clown he kicked her three times on the back part of the
head, he having his boots on. He then stooped down
and hit her three times on the right side of the face.
The floor instantly became covered with blood. The
prisoner has been in the frequent habit of beating her.
On one occasion I heard the prisoner threaten her that
if she attempted to send him to prison for ill-treating
her, he would stick the hooks (a large pair of double
hooks used for the purpose of lifting bales of wool) into
her.

The young woman, Marian Daniels, who attempted
to stab Lady Chantrey at the Pier Hotel, Brighton, with
a cheese knife, has been pronounced by one of the parish
surgeons decidedly insane. On Wednesday an order was
made by the borough bench for her removal to Bethnal-
4reen.
DUBLIN, March 29.—Private Michael Byrne, 69th
Regiment, who was tried by court-martial last mouth
for general insubordination, and flinging his cap in the
face of Mojnr Hickey, commanding the depot of the regi-
iuent in this garrison, has been sentenced to eight years'

great tenderness. She was in an exceedingly weak
state. She was not in immediate danger, but from the
injuries she had received she would have been in danger
if she had not been immediately attended to. She is
now progressing towards health. The ribs which had
been set on the former occasion were not again br.,ken.

The Lord Mayor having asked the prisoner what he
had to say in answer <to the charge, the latter replied
that he should leave the matter to be dealt with by his
lordship.
The Lord Mayor said the whole case presented far
too serious an aspect to be dealt with summarily, and
he thought the ends of justice could only be attained by
committing the prisoner to the Central Criminal Court
for trial, on the charge of unlawfully and maliciously in-
flicting upon the prosecutrix grievous bodily harm.
Committed accordingly.

BOW-STREET.—Tan PARK GUNS —A number of
boys, of ages varying from 12 to 16, were severally
charged with throwing stones at the soldiers engaged in
working the park guns.
It appeared that about one o'clock that afternoon
orders were received to fire the guns in celebration of
the c mclusion of the peace. They were accordingly got
ready on the parade, but the order being countermanded
at the last moment the charges were drawn and the
guns removed. A crowd had assembled, principally of
boys, some of whom commenced pelting the soldiers,
and the police apprehended all whom they caught in the
act of throwing stones.
Penalties were inflicted of from ss. to 10s., or in de-
fault, imprisonment for from 7 to 10 days.
Win. Randall, age 23, was fined 205., or in default,
sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment, for a similar offence.

Mary Ann Brookes, the prosecutrix, a sickly, ema-
ciatid-looking woman, who was carried into court in a
chair, and remained seated during her examination, and
who appeared to he still suffering intense agony from the
injuries she had received, said—l have been cohabiting
with the prisoner about seven months, and have now cnne
here from St. Bartholomew's Hospital. On Saturday night,
the Bth March, the prisoner came home rather tipsy, and
complained that his supper was not ready. He then
struck me, and knocked me down, and on my telling him
that if he repeated the blow I would put him where hecould
not come out, he lifted me up in his arms, and threw me
upon the ground with the left side of my face downwards,
and then struck me several blows on the right side of
my face. He then kicked me on the back of my hod ;
he had his shoes on at the time. The blood gdshed
from my mouth. I screamed "Murder," upon which
he returned and gave me another kick on my right side.
I was, at the time, an out-door patient of the London
Hospital, in consequence of the ribs on my right side
being fractured by a blow from six or seven weeks be-
fore.

Mr. J. Allen, house-surgeon at Bartholomew's Hos-
pital, said—The last witness was brought to the hospi-
tal about two o'clock on the morning of the 9th March,
when I examined her, and found her in a very weak
state. She appeared half stupified. There was coagu-
lated blood upon her face. There were marks of a blow
on the right eye, on the right cheek; and on the right
side of the chin. There was also a swelling on the back
of her head, apparently from a blew or fall. She had a
