MARLBOROUGII-STREET,

A FORGIVING WIFE. —Wi!liarn DlStaCe, a brass finisher,
Denmark-street, St. Giles's, was charged with assaulting
his wife.

The complainant, whose eyes and face were much dis-
coloured, said that on Saturday night last her husband•
came home, pulled her out of bed, said ho had some one
else to fill her place, and would have done her some serious
injury but for the interference of her landlady. On Mon-
day ho again beat her eight or nine times. Notwithstand-
ing all this illusago she would forgive bins if he would let
her alone. She added that her husband was sober when
ho assaulted her, and that she Lad in her arms her baby, a
few weeks old.

The defendant said that ho went home on Monday night
and found one of his children lying on the floor, and his
wife out. He went out and saw his wife drinking in a
public-house with a woman, known as a drunken cha-
racter, and when she carne home she throw the scrubbing
brush at him, and that caused a disturbance.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said as the defendant took home all his
earnings that made all the difference. Ho should require
him to find two bail to keep the peace for six months.

SENDING CHILDREN OUT TO BEG FOR THE PURPOSE OF
(JETTING THEM PROVIDED FOR.—George Powell, about
eight yoars of age, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
begging.

Police-constable Cane, 305 0, said he saw the boy
throwing somersaults, and begging in George-street, St.
James's, and receive money from gentlemen, and he
then took him into custody, He went to tho boy's mother,
who lived in Prince's-court, Drury-lano, and found she
was living with a man who Rever worked, and the boy
told me he had to keep them. The boy told him that he
wanted to go into the Regent's-park Home for Boys, as
he had a brother there, and he would have to leave the
streets.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would send the boy to Feltham,
and the mother would have to pay ls. 6d. a week for his
support.

The mother said she could not pay anything
Mr. Tyrwhitt said she would be made to pay. Ito was
well awaro that children were sent out into the streets for
the purpose of begging so that they might be taken into
custody, and then. sent to some institution to be provided
for out of tho taxes paid by hard-working people.
The bay, who informed the officer that he was obliged to
take home money or not go home, was thou sent to Felt-
ham for five years.

During the last few weeks several boys have been sent
from this Court to the same place.

THE IMPARTIAL ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.-In-
Spector liarlam, of the B division, stated to the magistrate
that Julia Grantham, of 48, Tachbrook-stro3t, was charged
on the Brompton police-sheet with being drunk and in-
capable of taking care of herself. She was subsequently
bailed, but was not now present, it being stated that illness
prey-exited her attendance, which Mr. Dickenson, a medi-
cal mau, was now present to prove.

Dr. Dickenson said he had just left her, and she cer-
tainly was not in a fit state to attend before the magistrate.

Mr. Arnold—What is she ?
Dr. Dickenson— Sho is a lady.
Mr. Arnold—A real lady, or

A Gentleman, who accompanied Dr. Dickenson —She is
really a real lady and cannot attend as stated.
Mr. Arnold—As she is really a real lady, I must see her
here. I can't let a person off who is drunk and incapable
because she has the good fortune to be a real lady. She
must appear here the same as any person of low degree.
Inspector Horton—She was brought to the station by a
cabman, who did not know what to do with her. He had
taken her up at the Victoria railway station to drive her to
Brompton, where he found her lying at the bottom of the
cab.

Mr. Arnold,Had you any doubt of her condition when
you saw her ?
Inspector Horton—Not the least.
Mr. Arnold—Was she drunk ?
Inspector Horton—Clearly drunk and incapable of tak-
ing care of herself.
Mr. Arnold—There is no reason, because the woman is
in a better condition of life, that she should not attend here
like any other person. I shall extend her recognisances
until she is able to attend.
Extended formally till Tuesday.
