POLICB INTELLIGENCE.—June 2.

MANSION-HOUSE.--41r. Thomas Jones, a
respectably-di eased man, of about 40 years of age,
was charged before the Lord Mayor with having
assaulted Anu, his Wie.

The prosecutrix, 'ho exhibited a black eye, and
was accommodated vith a chair whilst giving her
evidence, said—YeEterday I accidentally met the
defendant, who has leserted me for a twelvemonth,
in a confectioner's shop in Old Broad-street. I
asked a friend of his who was with him to lend me
a few shillings to pry my lodgings, but he declined
doing so. I then asked the defendant whether he
intended to let me starve in the streets, as I had
not received any money from him for my support
for nearly a twelvemonth. He made no reply, but
attempsed to rush past me, upon which I told him
that he should not go like that, and that I had been
looking for him fcr 12 months in order to compel
him to maintain ne. He put up his hand, and I
struck him on the hat with my parasol. He took
lrom his pocket a knife, and said he should like
to stab me with it, but I do not think he in-
tended anything-of the sort. We then went to a
public house in •Bistropsgate-street, where he per-
suaded me to give him my wedding-ring and
keeper. He called for some port wine for me, and
drank several glasses of gin and water himself,
when he suddenly gave me a blow in the face and
darted out of the house. I pursued him, calling
out " Police," and he was overtakenand locked up.
Cross-exaniined by Mr. Wontner—l do not know
where the defendant is Lying now. He drove me
from home though his misconduct. When I left
him I swear I did not take
1,2001. worth of pro-
perty belonging to him with me. I will say how
much I took when my solicitor is present.
The Lord Mayor—l do not think it at all neces-
sary to enter into these particulars. I have simply
to deal
with the charge of assault.
Prosccutrix—Four months
ago I received fur
some tirn) Is. 61. per week from the parish. I
have been compelled to pawn my gold *watch,
chains, and rings, to maintain myself.
t
Cross-examination continued—I have been to
Guildhall and to Br„osiere.e-avells police-station. I
was bound over at Gull:flail to keep the peace for
six months for breaking glass.
The Lord Mayor—The only question is whether
an assault has keen committed. The prosecutrix
exhibits a black eye.
Mr. Woutner—The question is whether she did
not g !t, it in the souffle between herself and her
hes') end when he attempted to get out of here -mi.-
pat,y. I understand that when she left her hus-
band's house she took 1,2001. worth of property
with her.
The Len! Mayor—With that I have nothing
whatever to do het e. Under any circumstances it
is a most cowardly action for a man to strike a wo-
man. It is the duty of the defendant to provide for
his wife inAotid of de3erting her fur a twelvemonth.
I shall adjourn the case for a fortnight, in the hope
that in the meantime some friends attic, respective
parties will intercede and effect a satisfactory ar-
rangement between them. The defendant must
enter into his own recognisances in 20/., and find
one surety in 101., to attend on he day of adjourn-
ment ; and if an arrangement is not then come to,
I shall adjudicate upon the case.
The defendant, in the course of a short time, put
in the required bail and was liberated.
