SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A WlFE.—Wilhelm Nortetnann,
a tall gaunt man, aged 35, a native of Hanover, was brought
before Mr. Self*, charged with violently assaulting Eliza,
his wife.

The complainant, a little woman, whose face was bruised
in a terrible manner, and had one of her oyes closed, said
that her husband kept a Dutch boarding-house for English
and foreign seamen at No. 29, Albert-street, Shadwell, and
put in a printed card to that effect. That morning at half-
past eight o'clock she was in want of money for housekeep-
ing purposes, and looked in her husband's pockets to
ascertain what silver he had. Directly afterwards she went
to the cupboard to cut some broad and butter for her child,
on which her husband commenced abusing her, and said he
would kill her for looking in his pockets. She said ho was
crazy again, and he then made a savage attack on her and
beat her about the head, face, and body with his clenched
fist and knocked her down. She bled a good deal from the
nose and mouth, and became insensible.
Mr. Selfe—Has he struck you before ?
The witness sobbed loudly. All the recollections of for-
mer bad usage seemed to rush into her mind at once, and
she exclaimed, in German, " Oh, yes, sir; yes, yes, ho has
beaten me and trampled upon me, and I have taken sum
monses out against him and forgiven him, although my
body has been covered with marks."
The prisoner, in defence, said times wert bad, and he
could obtain no lodgers. His wife scoldel him and made a
noise. He told her to be quiet, axial she came towards him
with a knife, and he accordingly hit her.
Mr. Selfe—Nonsense. You could not have accidentally
hit her to have produced all those marks. i.ook at her
face. She has been most savagely treated by you, and I
believe your general conduct towards her has been very
creel. You are sentenced to three months' imprisonment
and hard labour for an aggravated assault.
