years of the appellant's life bad been spent in this
litigation some might think wasted not— but
she felt that she owed it to herself to strive after
what she knew to be truth and justice as well as she
knew anything in this world.
The Lord Chancellor—Would the appellant wish
to address the House further?
Mrs. Yelverton, who seemed deeply affected and
very feeble, again stepped forward to the bar. She
said she had not much more to say, but she would
prefer waiting until after the adjournment.
The Lord Chancellor said the House would ad-
journ for half an hour.

CENTRAL CRfM(NAI, COURT—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Mfore the Recorder.)

Jeremiah Regan, Ilonora Rogan, and Nary Shoon, were
indicted for unlawfully assaulting and nsaliciously wound-
ing Thotnai Sheen.

The prisoners were defended by Mr. Cooper.
From the evidence it appeared that the last named pri-
soner was the wife of the prosecutrix, and daughter of
the other prisoners. The parties lived in Denham-yard,
Drury-lane, and the assault took place on the Bth of May.
Shortly before five o'clock on the morning of that day
a violent disturbance took place, and on the police going
to ascertain the cause they found the prosecutrix lying in
the passage, and the prisoner Sheen standing over her
with a flat iron in her hand, and Honorer Regan with part
of an iron pet in her possession. Sheen was bleeding
from a number of wounds on his head, and he was
in such an exhausted condition that he was at
once taken to King's College Hospital, where
ho remained for some time, his life being
despaired of. Tho prisoners were taken to the station-
house, where the male prisoner Regan said all he did to
Sheen was in self-defence, and pointed to a severe wound
on his head. On the recovery of Sheen ho stated that
he went to Denham-yard to see his wife, when the male
prisoner seized him by the throat, and told him
he would settle accounts with him. Tho pro-
secutor made some observation about his wife,
who was lying intoxicated at the foot of the bad, when
Regan seized him by the throat and thrust him out of the
house. He went up to the door again, when the three pri-
soners attacked him, and committed the injuries on him
which led to his being taken to the hospital.

The prisoner Sheen said her husband accused her of
stealing his money, and ordered her out of his place. She
went to her father's, where the prosecutor followed her.
When her husband came he took her by the hair and
pulled her out of bed, and a quarrel ensued between the
,whole lot. Prosecutor took up an iron pot and struck
her father with it, and hit her mother very violently. Tho
flat iron which she had in her hand her father took
from the prosecutor, otherwise her mother would have
been killed. The prosecutor bad been summoned for ill-

treating her, but her father had prevented her appearing
against him.

The jury found the female prisoners guilty, and acquit-
ted Jeremiah Regan.
The Recorder said he thought it would be best for him
to refrain from passing sentence on the two females, pro-
vided the husbands would enter into sureties for their
good behaviour, and also for their coming up for judgment
when required. If they for the future lived like Christian
people, they would hear nothing of the matter, but, if not,
they would be brought up for sentence and severely
punished.

TILE ALLEGED FORGERIES ON TILE LEEDS BANK.

The grand jury have returned three true bills for felony
and ono for misdemeanour against Thomas Edgeley.

(Before Sergeant.)
Edward Price and John Sidley, who wore convicted last
session for a burglary in the dwelling house of Byatt
West, were brought up for sentence.
It will be recollected that the prisoners formed part of
the Brixton gang, who had committed so many depreda-
tions in that neighbourhood. They were remanded last
session, in order that their characters might be inquired
into. A former conviction was proved against Sidley.
The Common Sergeant sentenced Price to five years'
and Sidley to seven years' penal servitude.
Willian Smithers was indicted for feloniously receiving
from curtain evil-disposed persons three .£l.O Bask of Eng-
land notes, three £5-notes, and nine postage stamps, the
property of Nettorvillo Barrow, and a purse and an Ame-
rican 10 cent note, the property of Joel Edwards, well
knowing them to have been stolen.
The property was stolen from the two gentlemen during
their visit to the Italian Opera.
The jury found him guilty, and the Common Sergeant
sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonment.

MUSIC-HALLS AGAIN.--Mr. Humphries (Humphries and
Morgan) solicitor, applied to Mr. Vaughan for a summons
against Messrs. Holland and Sweasy, of Weston's Music-
hall, High Holborn, for performing selections from Barnett's
opera of the " Mountain Sylph," without a theatrical license.
Mr. John Hollingshead, hon. secretary of the Theatrical
Law Amendment Society, proved that selections wore
given from the opera in question, with dramatic action,
costume, and scenery, and programmes of the cast of cha-
racters sold in the hall. He paid for admission.
It was stated that the proceedings were not taken in any
hostile spirit, and Mr. Sweasy and Holland had been duly
informed of them. The object was to ascertain the law,
and thus facilitate a settlement of the question, so as to
avoid future litigation.
Mr. Vaughan granted the summons.
Messrs. Holland and Sweasy were not represented.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
TRAINING A CIIILD TO BEG.—Diary Marley and Mary
Manny, mother and daughter, the latter about nine years
of age, wore charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by the Marquis
Townshend with begging.
The Marquis Townshond said—A little before twelve
o'clock last night I saw this woman and child begging of
every person they met in Piccadilly. I saw the woman
go into a public -house and drink some beer, and on coming
out she asked him for money. Knowing the woman !o be
in the habit of going about begging,
and to be of intem-
perate habits, I gave the child some money, so that I
might charge her with receiving money, with the view of
having her taken from her mother, and sent to some place
where she might be taken care of.
The Woman—l was waiting in Piccadilly for some ono
promised me work, and feeling faint I went into the public
house for half a pint of beer, and my child asking me for
some bread, and having only a halfpenny, I asked the
Marquis.

Marquis The —Her story is not true, as I saw her ask
five persons before she asked me.
Mr. Tyrwhitt shall send the woman for ton days, and
the child, after receiving some food, can bo taken to the
workhouse for a week that it may be soon what can bo
done for her.
