EXTRAORDINARY OuTRAGE.—Mary Ann Ryan,- alias
Castor, a tall, strong, masculine woman, with a baby in her
arms, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with
violently assaulting Jane Webb, of Market-street, Poplar.
. _

The complainant, a respectable and modest young
woman, the wife of a bricklayer, who is far advanced in
pregnancy, said she went out last night to obtain her hus-
band's supper, when the prisoner and three other women
who were perfect strangers to her beat her in a most
brutal manner. The prisoner seized Ler by the hair of her
head and knocked her down, and when she was clown
stamped upon her. She was rescued by the bystanders,
and carried to her home.

In answer to questions by Mr. Partridge, the complain-
ant said she offered no provocation, and never offered an
insult or spoke a word to the prisoner.
Edmund Langton, a police constable, 280 IT., said the
prisoner was a dissipated character, and ranging the streets
