THE AUSTRIAN ARMY IN ITALY.

A letter from Valeggio, dated June 20th, says :
There is nothing to record of any importance, save
that the movements by which the whole f the
Austrian army on the Mincio is placed in mutual
support are completed. Two army corps and part
of a third are still west of the Mincio, and the
whole line from Peschiera to Mantua is under the
supreme orders of the Emperor, who, whether he
intends to assume the offensive or the contrary, is
in a position to hold every part cf his enormous
force in hand. Although it is affirmed that the
allies are in strength in Brescia, no one believes
that an attack from that quarter is imminent.
I was yesterday introduced to Count Schlick and
his Adjutant-General, Baron Von Stannovics. Their
welcome to the camp was exceedingly cordial. Count
Schlick is one of those veterans who seem to have
lived half-a-century in camp. Weather-beaten and
tearful in the one eye that remains to him, he has
an erect carriage, which permits the full advan-
tages of his tall person to be developed. His com-
mand is not, however, the responsible one which
Count Gyulai enjoyed. He only directs the move-
ments of the Second Army, while his predecessor,
in addition to that important trust, wielded the
higher powers of Commander-in-Chief. These the
Emperor is now determined to concentrate in his
own hands, and the ardour with which he is known
to be inflamed will probably be tempered by the
matured experience of Hess. All the army expects
and hopes that under this new state of things a for-
ward movement will be made, and it trusts that if
the enemy be really in force in front of the right of
these positions, Castiglione and Lonato may yet
become the fields on which battles more fortunate
than those of the last century, and greatly con-
trasting with that of the present year at Magenta,
may be fought. I have already told you generally
that the Austrian army is in a highly efficient con-
dition for active service. lam confirmed still more
in that impression by a closer inspection of it.
From the heights about this place several eouside-
rable bodies of men are visible ; some are even en-
camped within this town, and their cheerful spirits
are very remarkable. Hard by, in the maize fields,
are men of various climes ; they are busy either in
cooking or cleaning their accoutrements. They
are formed in lines at proper distances, and the
knapsack or the cloak of each marks the place where
he lives. Here are no tents, no standing huts,
none of the paraphernalia of an English camp, the
Austrians have not even the tente d'abri of the
French, which enables each soldier to keep at least
the upper part of his person under shelter of can-
vass. The Austrians sleep on the ground, exposed
in the day to a sun of which those who have
visited Italy can appreciate the power • exposed in
the evening to heavy dews, which fall chill and
damp on their frames, and they are further without
cover of any kind against the frequent storms,
which suddenly sweep down from the neighbouring
Alps and inundate the fields. They are allowed,
however, to exercise their ingenuity in forming
temporary cover for themselves, and for this pur-
pose every bough or stalk of maize is useful. This
is fatal to the crops of mulberry or Indian corn be-
longing to the peasants on whose land the camp is
pitched. But, after all, 160,000 men do not cover
a very large-space of ground, and the damage must
be accepted as the inevitable result of war. All
the land is under cultivation. There are no com-
mons or vacant plains where troops can be brought
together, and whatever army occupies the country,
the result is the same.

Your correspondents in the Crimea have had oc-
casion to notice the speed and ingenuity with
which the French gave names to streets and num-
bered houses. The Austrians are perfect masters of
every detail of this kind. Officers and men told
off for that particular service occupy the place des-
tined for headquarters two or three hours before-
hand. They choo3e the fit localities for each officer,
and in front of the houses they nail up little rolls
of cloth, on which are already inscribed the names
of the officers intended to occupy them. Thus,
there is no vain searching for the quarters of any
officer, and it is as well known where the smallest
aide-de-camp takes his rest as where the General-
in-Chief resides. The same system is everywhere
pursued, and there is not a cart that does not carry
the name and rank of its owner.

I have as yet seen no field hospitals, because the
army is so near Verona that sick establishments are
unnecessary, and the number of sick is at present
very small. The officers of the medical department
state that the number of patients may be taken at
5 per cent. of the whole force, many of whom are
suffering from sore feet consequent on forced
marches. It is expected, however, that the average
sickness will be higher as the heat increases. The
corps of General Urban, which, since its campaign
against the volunteers of Garibaldi, has come to
the rear of the army, seems to have suffered most
from rapid movement. General Urban himself, a
'short, energetic looking man, is now in high coin-
mand at Verona.

Count Gyulai is still here much dispirited, and
asking for a court-martial, but this the Emperor
has refused, offering to the mortified pride of the
unsuccessful general the honourable post of Ban
of Croatia, vacant by the death of Jellachich.
Count Gyulti's father was himself Ban at
Agram, but the vanquished leader of Magenta
refuses tho,honours tendered to him, and seems,
like Olivarez in " Gil Bias,'' to desire the retirement
of a country life. Count Gyulai, More this war,
is not known to have been under fire. During the
disturbances of 1848-9 he commanded at Trieste,
and the fact that that city did not join in the
general outbreak was considered a proof of his tact
or ability. He was for a short time Minister of
War, and afterwards commanded at Milan under
Radetsky. He was known throughout Italy for
his great severity, not only as regards the Italians,
but as regards the troops under his command. The
death of Radetsky placed him in the high position
of Commander-in-Chief, in which he was main-
tained very much to the damage of the true in-
terests of the army.
Among recent arrivals at Verona are those of
Count Rechberg, one of the Austrian Ministers, and
Count Po urtales, the Prussian Ambassador at Paris.
As you may conceive, considerable interest is felt
even here as to the position which Prussia may
assume ; and alternate hopes and fears are expressed
when the calling out of the Prussian army. is the
topic of conversation. England's policy is also
much discussed, and the formation of the new
Ministry has been an object of considerable curiosity.
As news travels here but slowly, it was but yester-
day known to all at head-quarters that Lord Pal-
merston was at the helm in London, and the
intelligence caused no slight commotion.
The landing of a French corps on the coast near
Venice is still daily expected, but seems not as yet
to have taken place.

LA TV INTELLIGENCE—June 9.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

,(Sittings at Nisi Prins, in London, before Lord
Chief Justice Erie and a Common Jury.)

FERGUSON AND ANOTHER V. BARRETT-STRANGE

CASE OF LUNACY.

This was an issue directed by the Master of the
Rolls to try whether so long ago as between the
10th of December, 1834, and the 16th of May, 1837,
Mr. George Watts was of sound mind. Within the
period in question Mr. Watts hdd executed eight
indentures of mortgage.
Mr. E. James, Q.C., Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. H.
James appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Bovill, Q.C.,
Mr. Sergeant Parry, and Mr. J. Brown for the de-
fendant.

Alr. E. James, in opening. the case, said that the
plaintiffs represented Mr. Snook, who was formerly
a cutler in the city of Salisbury, a man of very con-
siderable property, of extraordinarily penurious
habits, and who delighted in the name he had men-
tioned to them. (A laugh.) The defendant was a
person who was appointed on a committee under a
commission of lunacy issued against Mr. Watts in
1845. As, soon as the executors of Mr. Snook claimed
the money which he had advanced to Mr. Watts
upon mortgage, Mrs. Watts, who had herself been
a party to all the transactions, who had been pre-
sent when the mortgages were executed, and who
had had the benefit of the money advanced, alleged

that her husband was of unsound mind. By an ex-
traordinary ex parte proceeding, for the mortgagers
could not be represented there, a commission of
lunacy was obtained, and Mr. Watts was found to
have been lunatic since 1822. More extraordinory
evidence upon which to find a man lunatic had
never been submitted to a jury. The person whose
sanity was to be impeached was formerly a gentle-
man farmer, entitled to a small estate of about £350
a-year, at Speen, near Newbury, in Berkshire. He
was now resident at Camden-town and was in very
good health, and therefore could be called by the
defendant. It was true he was 70 years old, but
that was of small consequence now-a-days when
persons of great age filled the highest office in the
State. (Laughter.) Mr. Watts married, in 1816, a
person of the name of Barnes, who was a little be-
neath him in position, and who was an extremely
extravagant woman, and had led him into the ne-
cessity of raising money by the mortgage deeds now
in question. He was informed that she was an ex-
tremely violent woman, and had led her husband a
wretched life. They had eight children, but they
had all died but one. The first deed impeached
was dated 10th December, 1834, and it was signed
under these circumstances :—ln 1834 Mr. Watts
applied to Mr. Hockley, a solicitor at Guild-
ford, who was since dead, to raise £3,000 by way of
mortgage upon the estate. Mr. Snook advanced
the money, and a mortgage deed was executed.
Mr. Deacon, the town clerk of Southampton, had
been for some time acting as attorney for Mr.
Watts, and he had become Indebted to Mr. Haw-
kins, a client of Mr. Baker, of Andover, to the ex-
tent of £2,200, for which a promissory note had
been given. It was alleged, on the other side, that
Mr. Watts never received the money for which the
mortgage was given on the 10th Dec., 1834, but he
should be able to prove that out of that money Mr.
Hawkins's note for £2,200 was paid. Mr. Hawkins
had also, in addition to the note, a deposit of Mr.
Watts's title deeds by way of equitable mortgage ;
and therefore it was necessary that the £2,200
should be paid in order to obtain the deeds. The
mortgage deed was ultimately executed at South-
ampton, though the pecuniary part of the business
was settled at the Bear Inn, Reading, and Mr. Cole-
brook, a surgeon at Southampton, a friend of the
attorney's, happened to be called in to attest the
execution of the deed. The whole matter had been
the subject of long and expensive litigation, and on
one occasion Lord Langdale decided that there was
nothing to impeach any one of the deeds except the
one to which reference had been made, and he added
that he would have been satisfied with that if any

medical man had been engaged in_the transaction.
The gentleman who then had the affair in hand
was not acquainted with the fact that Mr. Cole-
brook, a surgeon, was there. The next deed im-
peached was dated the 23d April, 1834. and that
was another mortgage for £430 money lent by Mr.
Hazlitt, a coachmaker, at Southampton, and a client
of Mr. Deacon. The next deed in question was dated
the 25th January, 1836, at which time Mr; Deacon
had ceased to be Mr. Watts's solicitor, and Mr.
Watts had employed Mr. Halford, of Salisbury, in
that capacity. Mr. Snook was a client of Mr. Hal-
ford, and he agreed to advance £5,300 upon mort-
gage, out of which sum the £3,000 and the £4OO
mortgages were paid off. The witnesses who
attested the execution of that mortgage mcould state
their surprise when they saw Mr. Snook take off
his coat and waistcoat, cut open the back of his
waistcoat with a pair of scissors, and take out of it
£5,300 in notes, so that he actually carried his
banker on his back. (Laughter.) Mr. Snook was
a shrewd man of business, and he was not likely to
lend his money to a man who was not competent to
execute a deed. Of the £5,300 it would appear that
Mr, Watts paid the greater part of the balance which
he received into the Newbury Bank, though in the
course of a year it had all disappeared. In May,
1837, there was a further charge on the estate for
£3OO. Mr. Snook died prior to 1842, and upon his
executors filing a bill to foreclose the mortgage the
defence of insanity was set up. In 1840 Mr. Watts'
difficulties increased upon him, and he was in Read-
ing Gaol from that year until 1842, and the officials
would say that there was not the slightest ground
for saying that he was insane. He was told there
were two facts upon which the defendant relied as
showing insanity. Mr. Watts was rather proud of
having a nice hand, but on one of his forefingers
' there was what was called a deer's foot nail, the
nail being divided down the middle. He was
twitted by his wife about this nail, and he in con-
sequence not only cut the nail off but a piece of
the finger with it. The other fact relied on was
that he had wilfully damaged one of his eyes. It
was true that Mr. Watts had been subject to occa-
sional fits of epilepsy, but it would be shown that
there was no pretence for imputing insanity, and
indeed it would appear by many documents that he
was a shrewd man of business.

Evidence was given in support of plaintiff's case
during the remainder of the day, and it was ru-
moured that the matter was likely to occupy seve-
ral days. .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. June 29.

CLERKENWELL.—ATTEMPTED MURDER OF
A WIFE THROUGH JEALOUSY.—John Bates, aged
29, a shoemaker, residing at 9, West-street, Somers
Town, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt,
charged with unlawfully cutting and wounding his
wife, Fanny Bates, by stabbing her in the face
with a knife, at Eyre-street-hill, St. Andrews.
The proseeittrix, who appeared in —the witness-
box with her face bandaged up, said that she had
deen married to the prisoner about seven years, and
left him about four months since ,owing to his ill-
usage. On the previous night the prisoner came to
her residence, and outside the house made use of
very disgusting and filthy language towards her,
and also threatened her. She went to the door to
see if she could appease him, and when she was
turning away he stabbed her in the face. The
knife went through her cheek into her mouth. She
bled a great deal, and was taken to the hospital,
where her wound was dressed. She had one child,
and the prisoner had before abused her.
James Hawks, a low-looking fellow, having been
sworn, said that he cohabited with the complainant,
and had done so for some time. The prisoner came
to the house and abused the complainant on Satur-
day last.
The prisoner said he should like to ask his wife
some questions.
Mr. Tyrwhitt told him that his time was past.
He would go for trial, and then he or his counsel
could ask what they liked.
Police-constable Taylor 226 G, said that he was
in the station when the complainant and the priso-
ner were there. The prisoner said he was sorry
for what he had done. He stabbed her with a
shoemaker's knife, and when he had done it he
threw it away. Search had been made for it, but
it could not be found. The wound, the doctor. *told
him, was about an inch in length, but was not

dangerous.
Mr. Tyrwhitt having given the prisoner the
usual caution, asked him what he had to say in
answer to the charge ?
The prisoner said he had been married to his
wife for about seven years, but out of that time he
had only had three years of a quiet life. His wife
was a good woman until that fellow (Hawks) came
to visit. She had had connexion with him four
years ago, but he never suspected her. He had
spoken to her about it, but he did not'know what
to do.
' Mr. Tyrwhitt told the prisoner he must have a
very thick head after what he had told him. He
had better not say anything, for what he-was say-
ing showed that he went to the house with a mali-
cious feeling.
The prisoner said that his wife went to Exeter.
He sent the money for her to come back, but in-
stead of returning to him, she went to her
paramour. The man Hawks had threatened to
take his (prisoner's) life on several occasions.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a case for a jury, and
fully committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial.

The prisoner, who seemed very downcast, was
then removed.

LAMBETH.—UNFOUNDED CHARGE OF FELONY
AGAINST A POLICE CONSTABLE.—A police constable,
stationed at Brixton, who has been in the P divi-
sion for upwards of twelve years, and 'whose con-
duct during the whole of that time has been with-
out the slightest reproach, was charged with
robbing. Michael Hogan, a jobbing gardener, of his
watch and 6s. in silver.
The complainant said that on the night before he
was returning from Stockwell to his residence, in
Chapel-street; Brixton-road, when he met the ac-
cused and asked hiin to have half-a-pint of beer,
and they had some words about it. He then pro-
ceeded towards a watering place, and was followed
by the prisoner, who drew his staff, beat him about
the head most unmercifully, and robbed him of his
watch and all the money he had in his pocket. He
saw the prisoner again that morning, and called on
another constable, present, to take him into custody,
but he would not, and the prisoner hurried away.
In reply to the questions of the magistrate, the
witness said he had drunk some beer, but he was
net drunk, and knew very well what he was about
at the time he was attacked.
Inspector Emmerson, who was present to watch
the case, informed the magistrate that the complain-
ant had been so drunk as to be falling about, and from
all the inquiries he had made, and the information
he had received, he had no doubt his worship would
find that there was not the slightest grounds for
the charge. He then called
Benjamin Smith, 213 P, who said that at four
o'clock on that morning, while in conversation with
the accused, the complainant came up to them and
said he had been robbed of his watch And six shil-

Hugs, but refused to say by whom he was robbed.
He did not accuse his brother constable at that

time, but merely said he should go to the police-
station in Kennington-lane.
Police-constable 127 P, said that on the night
before, he was informed that a man was running
about the Swan Tavern without hat or coat on, and
like a madman ; and some time after he found the
prisoner lying against a wall, asleep. He awoke
him, and told him to go home, but instead of going
towards Chapel-street, Brixton, he proceeded to-
wards Chapel-street, Stockwell.
John Clifton, a waiter at the Swan Tavern,
Stockwell, said he (complainant) was so drunk that
he was falling about, and broke a pane of glass in
the tavern by falling against it.
Mr. Elliott observed hAad heard quite enough
to satisfy him that there was not the slightest
foundation for the charge, and at once dismissed
the complaint.

WORSHIP-STREET.—THE THIEVES' HOME IN
WHITECHAPEL.—SamueI Bromley, a well-known
and convicted thief, was charged on remand with
stealing two gold watches and other appendages,
value in all £ll2, from ladies while passing in the
open day along the Whitechapel-road.
The particulars of these separate offences appeared
a few days since, and evidence was now called in
corroboration of the ladies' testimony. One of the
witnesses, a married woman, added that she had
been threatened by some costermongers and street
fruitwomen with violence, if she attended to give
evidence.

The prisoner, in answer to the charge, replied in
a lachrymose tone, " I'm very innocent."
Mr. Hurlston (the chief clerk) having completed
the depositions, observed to the magistrate—Since
these cases have been under y.)ur notice, sir, I have
made myself acquainted with the immediate vicinity
of George-yard, Whitechapel, the scene of so many
daring robberies, and a more intricate place, after
entering it, I cannot well conceive ; for the numer-
ous turnings, windings, and passages, in one sense,
more resemble a maze than ought else ; in truth,
the spot is a most intolerable and dangerous one,
from which, but for the constable accompanying
me, I probably could not have safely emerged.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—The only apparent service that
can be rendered is by having a great number of the
police there. All charges of robbery from the im-
mediate neighbourhood I shall send for trial.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial at the
Middlesex Sessions.

THAMES.—EXTRA ORDINARY AND UNFOUNDED
CHARGE.—Thomas Chalington, a respectable-look-
ing man, of good address, a commercial traveller,
in the employ of a respectable house in the City,
residing at 23, Plummer's-row, Whitechapel, was
brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with inde-
cently assaulting Sophia Charlotte Simpson, a girl
aged 11 years.
The complainant, a diminutive girl, who appeared
much younger than she really is, stated that she
was living with her parents, 47, Oxford-street, Step-
ney. On Tuesday night she was seated on the step
of a door, near the Effingham Saloon, Whitechapel-
road, and was putting on her bonnet, when the pri-
soner came up and put his arms round her neck, at
the same time saying, " Come along with me my
dear." She replied to this invitation, "No, I would
rather not," on which lie directed her to rise,
and. took her down several streets, and knocked
at the doors of several lodging-houses and asked
for a lodging for the night. All the people lie
asked for a lodging refused to receive them, and he
took her up and down several streets, with his arms
round her neck, when two men interfered, and he
said, " Good bye, good bye, my dear." The men
said, "What are you doing with this child ?" on
which the prisoner pulled his coat off and chal-
lenged them to fight. The men knocked him down,
and then gave him into custody.
_ _ _ _

In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley-, the
,girl
said that the prisoner offered her 6d., and took her
by the hand.
The prisoner in defence, with a manly simplicity,
said that the girl had been telling falseho)ds, and
that he had never entertained any evil design upon
the child. He saw her upon the step of a door
crying, and from motives of humanity, and with a
view of befriending her, inquired if she was in dis-
tress, or had been ill used. The child replied that
she had no hOme to go to, and that her parents had
turned her out of doors. He said if that was the
case he would give her 6d. for a lodging, and went
to several lodging-houses with her for the purpose
of ensuring her safety, but none of the lodging-
house-keepers would admit her. He was about to
consult the police inspector at the station-house,
when two fellows came up and interfered with him.
He took no liberties with the child, and his inten-
tion was to benefit her and provide her with a
lodging for herself.
Inspector Griffin, of the K division, said the com-
plainant was a very bad girl. He had often seen
her roaming the streets at late hours, and sent her
home.

Mr. Yardley asked the girl what caused her to
be out so late on Tuesday night. She began cry-
ing and evaded the question, and upon the magis-
trate repeating it, and insisting upon an answer,
she said she ran away from her father and mother,
and intended to stop out all night.
An old woman here stepped forward, who said
—This girl was brought home at one o'clock this
morning. Her mother is at work in the Kent-road,
and her father is a labourer. They often leave
this girl and two other children for several days.
Mr. Yardley said that nothing could be more
disgraceful than for" a man in the position of the
prisoner to take advantage of the wayward fancies
or irregularities of the girl, and attempt to seduce
her. The girl had given her evidence in such a
manner as to lead to the belief that the prisoner
had some evil design upon her. He was of opinion
that she had not told the truth, and that she was
very properly described by the inspector as a very
bad girl.
The prisoner said that imprisonment would be
too good for him if he had attempted to take im-
proper liberties with such a child.
Mr. Yardley—Yes, you are quite right. Im-
prisonment would indeed be too good for you if you
had attempted to take advantage of a child like
that.
The prisoner said his motives were quite mis-
taken by the persons who interfered with him. He
wished to obtain shelter for the girl for the night
to keep her out of harm's way.
Mr. Yardley was inclined to believe the pri-
soner's statement and discharged him. He directed
the old woman, who appeared interested about the
'girl, to take charge of her, and to tell the parents
they must prevent her roaming the streets at un-
seasonable hours.

• WESTMINSTER.—A SAD AFFAlR.—Avices
Green was apprehended on a warrant by Knowland,
one of the summoning officers of the Court, charged
with a very serious assault upon her husband, and
also with threatening his life.
Complainant, a hair-dresser, in Churton-street,
Pimlico, said that on Tuesday evening his father,
who was on a visit, was waiting for his tea, and
upon complainant going into the kitchen, he found
his wife pulling to pieces a watch time•piece, to
aggravate him, as he supposed, because his father
was there, to whom she had a great antipathy. He
told her to get his father's tea, but she refused and
said his old father should not be in the house,
He told her if she did not get the tea he would not
allow her to remain in the house, and accordingly
pushed her outside the door, when she seized him
in a very tender part of his person and held him
so tightly that he screamed with pain, and nearly
fainted, and had been since obliged to wear ban-
dages. *After committing this assault she ran into
the other kitchen, took up a knife, and, rushing at
him, said, "I will do for you, Hari7,.l will do for
you ;" but the lodgers interposing, his life was saved.
She then called out " Murder" and the police came,
but would not take the charge, and complainant
gave her ss. fur her night's lodging—as he did not
consider his life was safe—recommending her to see
the magistrate in the morning. They had been
married three years and a half, and had one child.
Mr. Arnold remarked, she had come to him that
morning, and said that owing to her bad temper
she and her husband had had a auarrel, and he bad
turned her out of doors, but she had said-nothing
about the assault.
Henry Joseph Martin, living at complainant's,
added his testimony, which was somewhat at vari-
ance with complainant's. He said he heard Mr.
Green ask his wife to get the tea, and she said she
would not. A slight scuffle then ensued, during
which they got to the end of the passage, and wit-
ness saw her commit the dangerous assault spoken
of. Complainant turned pale, but did hot scream.
Complainant immediately pushed her into the
kitchen, right along the dresser, when she took up
a knife and said, " I will, Harry, I will," but put
the knife down again directly, he believed. Com-
plainant then again asked her to get the tea, and
pushed her about again, when she called " Murder"
and "Police," and a crowd collected round the
door.

Mr. Arnold said it did not appear from the wit-
ness's testimony that the police had been called in
either while complainant was suffering the acute
pain he spoke of, or because he feared she would
take his life with the knife, but rather because she
would not get the tea or leave the house.
Complainant only said, the witness must be
slightly mistaken.
The defendant, a very pretty, lady-like woman,
and to all appearance a mere child in years, said,
with the tears in her eyes, and in a tone of truth-
fulness, that when her husband came into the back
kitchen she was merely looking at the timepiece, as

it had not gone lately, and told him, in reply to his
question, that she was setting it going, as he took
his watch out with him, and she could not know the

time of day. He asked her to get the tea, and she
said she would not while his father was there, as he
had broken the peace-of their home, and caused all the
disturbance that had happened between them. Upon
her refusal he swore that he would make her, and
dragged her by the hair of her head from one room
to the other, where his father was sitting, who im-
mediately said, " That's right, Harry, serve her out,
the - . If she were my daughter, I'd throtle
her." She then said, "I cannot bear this any longer,
nor will I," and siezing the knife, said, " I will, I
will," meaning no harm to her husband; and the
thought striking her at the moment what a horrible
thing she was going to do, she threw down the
knife on the instant. She had witnesses who could
prove that her husband behaved to her in a shame-
ful manner. The lodgers where they lived before,
and those in aChurton-street, all knew what his con-
duct was to her. He did not black her eyes, nor
strike her much, but ill-treated her in every other
way, and every word he addressed to her contained
some cruel insinuation, threat, or saying. It was
only last Sunday he said, "If you are with child
again I hope (using a horrible oath) you may not
come through it," and frequently told her she was
the curse of his life. As regarded the assault, she
said he would swear anything to have her out of
the way.
Defendant was remanded till Tuseday, upon bail,
which she procured, and
Mr. Arnold said she was to have the charge of
her child, but he would not recommend her to live
with her husband meanwhile; and on the com-
plainant making some demur about keeping her,
