NEXT Doon NEIGHBOURS.—Mary Ann Burchey,
a married woman, carrying a half-starved child in
her arms, was brought before Mr. Benson charged
with violently assaulting Mary Ann Mayse, of No.
3, Upper Charles-street, Bromley.
in the course of the investigation the prisoner's
husband called out to the complainant, " Don't tell
such -- lies. Your father jumped out of window
to illuse my wife." The man, who was drunk, was
immediately ejected from the court by Mr. Living-
ston, the chief usher, who soon afterwards removed
two other noisy persons who were disturbing the
proceedings.

The prisoner and the complainant are next door
neighbours. There was a quarrel between them on
Sunday afternoon, which was followed up by another
and more disgraceful riot last night. The prisoner
knocked at the door of the house in which the
complainant, her parents, and brother are liy;--
auu wonting until the
complainant came down and opened the door.
The prisoner immediately pounced upon her, beat
her, and called her all manner of names, and tore
her hair from her head. She also struck the com-
plainant with a brick, and inflicted sundry injuries
upon her. The complainant's brother and sister
left their beds to see what was the matter, and the
people of the adjoining house left their beds. A
regular fight took place, and at one time there was
a dozen persons on the ground tearing each other's
hair, kicking and beating each other. Blood was
shed, cries of "Murder" were raised, every window
was raised, and the affrighted inhabitants of Upper
Charles-street looked on astonished at what a wit-
ness described as the " Battle of Bromley." The
police interfered, and the prisoner, who was clearly
proved to be the cases belli, was the only capture
effected by a neutral power.

The prisoner said that Mrs. Emily Moyse beat
her daughter on Sunday afternoon, and knocked out
four of her teeth, and that all the family of the
Moyses were sitting up for her last night when she
came home.

Mr. Benson said it was clearly proved by disin-
terested witnesses that the prisoner commenced
the disturbance last night by knocking up the
Moyses and rousing them from their sleep. The
complainant, her parents, and other relatives, were
very foolish to leave their beds and go down stairs.
They invited a fight by their conduct.

The prisoner repeated that her daughter's four
best front teeth were knocked down her throat by
the complainant.

Mr. Benson would send for the girl and examine
her mouth, if the prisoner wished it.
The prisoner wished to go home to her three starv-
ing children.

➢lr. Benson—Shall I send for the girl who lost
her four best front teeth ?

The prisoner—Her mouth was bleeding on Sun-
day afternoon at any rate. I don't want her to be
sent for.

Mr. Benson said the prisoner was the sole origi-
nator of a most disgraceful riot and fight, and if she
was brought before him again he would send her to
prison without the option of paying a fine. He
ordered her to pay a penalty of 10s. or be imprisoned
for seven days.

corresponding period of last year, exhibit an excess of
5,200 tons.
RICE. —Thera has been an active inquiry, and prices
show an upward tendency. The high rates demanded by
holders, however, have materially checked business opera-

tons at the corresponding period of last year.
TALLOW.—There has been more business doing in the

been done, amounting to over 10,000 casks in the week.

55,838 casks, and the price 451 silver roubles. The ex-
