The Grand National Hunt Meeting takes place on Thurs-

There is every probability of the sport being first-class,

ASSAULTING A SlSTER.—Michael Roche, clerk in a gas
factory, was charged with violently assaulting Celia
Iligginbottom, his sister.

The prosecutrix, whose face was very much swollen, said
that on Sunday evening she, her husband, prisoner, two
cousins, and other relations were in Knightsbridge, the
prisoner making a disturbance which resulted in his
striking her. Her husband returned the blow, and after
more querrelling the party separated, she, her husband,
andcousiu going to First-street, Chelsea, whither the pri-
soner followed them, and, when in Walton-street, tho pri-
soner came up to har without any provocation and struck
her in the face a fearful blow, swelling her face considerably.
Prisoner said he respected his sister as much as any-
body, and this quarrel arose from family matters which he
could not mention in a public court. He did not mean to
hit her, but was assaulted by four or five others, and hit
her by mistake.

Evidence was given to show that no one else was near.
The sister only wanted him to be bound over to keep the
peace.

Mr. MA) said the public must be protected as well as
individuals. Were it not for the recommendation of the
sister he would send him to prison without a fine. He
fined him 10s. or a month, and bound him over in his own
bail to keep the peace for three months.
