THAMES.

Inisit REVENGE.—Johanna Driscoll, an Irishwoman,
about 35 years of age, was brought beforo Mr. Paget,
charged with wilfully and maliciously breaking live panes
of glass.

Timothy Flinn, an Irish labourer, of No. 6, Holloway-
court, Whitochapel, said he wont to bed last night at 9
o'clock after a hard day's work, and was aroused from his
sleep at one this morning by the prisoner, who was making
a great noise, swearing and raving. He got up and went
to the window, and directly a shower of bricks and stones
wore aimed at the window by the prisoner as fast as she
could throw them; ono large brick came through a pane
of glass and glanced past his head. Five panes of glass
were broken. He went out and gave the prisoner into
custody, and she said she was very sorry she had not
broken his head as well as the windows.

The defence of the prisoner was that the complainant
was her husband's step-father. Her husband earned 4s. 6d.
per day, and he had abandoned her and left her and her
children to starve. The relieving ofnoers came hat night
to give her children a loaf of bread. The complainant
harboured her husband, and she went to the house in
Holloway-court last night and broke the windows out of
revenge.

Mr. Paget said the prisoner had given no justification
for breaking windows, and that she had taken a gory
absurd revenge to destroy property as she had done. Sho
was before him a few days ago as a complainant, and it
appeared to him that she had drilled her child to tell a
string of lies. She had also,appeared before him on other
occasions and was a very bad woman. He sentenced her
to pay 40s. flue and ls. 10d. for damage, or be imprisoned
for 21 days and kept to hard labour.

DRINK AND DELIRIUM.—Thomas Packer Taylor, a
tradesmen, of No. 12, Church-lane, Whiteehapel, was
brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and
threatening to cut his wife's throat.
Isabella Taylor, the prisoner's wife, said her husband
came home drunk and delirious last night, and armed him-
self with a carving knife, with which he threatened to kill
her and her baby, and alarmed them very much indeed.
He was a kind, good husband when sober, but when he
was drunk he was like a madman. She wished to forgive
him.

The prisoner, who was lal:ouring under delirium tremens,
said he was very sorry for what he had done.
Mr. Paget said this was a very sad thing indeed. If the
prisoner was brought before him again ho should be under
the necessity of ordering him to find good and substantial
securities to keep the peace for six months, and if he did
not do so he should order him to be kept in prison for six
months. He asked the wife if she could venture to take
her husband home again and trust him.
The Wife—Yes, sir.

Mr. Paget said he would take the prisoner's own recog-
nisances to keep the peace and bo of good behaviour to all
her Majesty's subjects, and especially to his wife, for six
months, but he would not act so leniently with him if he
used any mote threats of the like nature.
