The Prisoner—My mother-in-law abused me, and
threatened me. I gave my wife money on Satur-
day, and she gave it back to me.
Mr. Tyrwbitt—l daresay your mother-in-law
upraided you with deserting your wife and child, but
I d.j not believe that if you had offered your wife
money she would have refused it. You will go to
prison for two months, with hard labour, for brutally
assaulting the complainant.

THE CONSTABLE AND THE CYPRIANS.—EIIen
Bury, 21, and Eliza Smith, 22, were charged with
stealing a silver watch from the person of Henry
Gosling, a London Dock constable.
The prosecutor was on his way home at a very
late hour on the preceding night, and he entered
into conversation with the prisoner in the Bow-
road. They induced him to turn down a
dark street, where the females indulged in some
play with him, to which ho submitted, and
they took his watch out of his pocket, and ran
away. He did not miss it until after he had left
them five minutes, and he then made a police-con-
stable, named Jessop, No. 416 It, acquainted with
his loss. He went in search of the prisoners, and
found them seated on the door-steps of a house in
Grove-street, Bow-road. Smith said" Chuck it," and
Bury immediately threw a watch. It was owned
by the prosecutor. The prisoners were committed
for trial. _ _

A SEAMAN ON A LEE SllORE.—Margaret Munsby
was charged with stealing a gold watch, value £45,
and four or five sovereigns; from the person of
James Coruey, a seaman, of St. John's, New Bruns-
wick.

he prosecutor is the chief mate of the ship
Lotus, in the West India Dock. He was paid off a
few days ago, and has since been on the spree. Ile
met the prisoner on Saturday. His hands were in
his pockets all day, but in the evening he missed his
watch, £4 or £5 in cash, and some American coins.
He could not say how he lost his money : be was half
seas over—rather more than three sheets in the
wind.

Robert Billings, 103 li, took the sailor in custody
for being drunk and incapable, and the woman for
robbing him. No money or watch was found upon
her.

Mr. Paget fined Conway ss. for being drunk and
ncapable, and discharged the woman.
