TIIAMES.

A BRUTAL HUSBAND.—William Nicholls, a
boiler-maker, was brought before Mr. Partridge,
charged with violently assaulting his wife, Eliza-
beth, a little woman, whose mouth was cut and
face contused.

The complainant said she had been married two
years to the prisoner. They had one child. Her
husband had been out of work since Christmas,
and were chiefly maintained by the union. A fort-
night ago he beat her very brutally. She had a
black eye, and was confined to her bed for two
days. He brought in the parish doctor to pro-
scribe for her, and said she had fallen down stairs.
Last night her husband came home at 12 o'clock.
She asked him where he had beon, and he said it
was no business of her's. She said if he went out
night after night he might take her with him.
He then beat her about the face with his clenched
fists and cut her mouth. She lost a good deal of
blood and her dress was coverel with it. She went
out and sat at her door until a policeman came by,
and then made him acquainted with the way she
had been treated.

A police-constable said the young woman was
bleeding copiously from the mouth when he saw
her.

Mr. Partridge asked Inspector Beare of the K
division if there was not plenty of work for boiler.
makers.

Inspector Beare—No, sir, the boiler-makers can
get no work ; there has been nothing for them to
do in the port of London for some time.
Mr. Partridge—Then I will withdraw the obser-
vations made about the prisoner being without any
work for six months. I am. sorry to hear of the
long cessation of employment. The case of assault,
a brutal one, is clearly made out, and I sentence
the prisoner to two months' imprisonment with hard
labour.

GREAT FIRE AT BERMONDSEY THIS DAY.—The
most extensive conflagration that has occurred on the
Surrey side of the river for a considerable time past took
place about a o'clock this morning in the immense range
of premises belonging to Messrs. Ostler and Palmer, leather
manufacturers, japanners, cte., situate in the Grange-road,
Bermondsey. The whole of the engines were set to work,
but in spite of the vast torrents of water thrown upon the
blazing buildings the flames continued to progress, and
several hours elapsed before the firemen could get the
flames under their control. The loss will amount to seve-
ral thousands of pounds sterling. The origin of the mis-
fortune is unknown.
THE FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON,
CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY.—CORONER'S INQUEST.—
This forenoon, Mr. Payne, the coroner, held an inquest at
the Barley Mow Hotel, Salisbury-square, Fleet-street, on
the body of Alexander Henry Dim, who lost his life on the
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway on Saturday night
last. The particulars of the case appeared in The Sun of
yesterday. After hearing evidence at considerable length,
and the learned Coroner having summed up, the jury re-
turned a verdict of accidental death.
