Mr. Paget told the prisoner if it was true that he had cut
the young woman's head open ha ought to make EOM)

mercy towards him. He would consent to the prisoner's
discharge.
It was understood by the police that the prisoner had
made the woman compensation before entering the court.

masculine woman, was charged with cutting and wound-
ing Lewis Thomas. _

The prosecutor, a tall young man, said he was a labourer
and dwelling at No. 2, Hungerford-street, Commorcial-
road.• This morning, between the hours of one and two
o'clock, he was on his way home in the Commorcial-road,
near the street in which he lived, and he saw a fight and
row going on. He went to see what the row was about,
and several persons, including the prisoner and her hus-
band, fell upon him. Tho man threw him down and
kicked him, and when he was down the woman cut his
left ear off with a knife.

Mr. Paget—Cut your oar off 1 how cotno she to do that?
Witness—l won't mix with them, they aro always upon
me. I never would associate with them.

Here the prisoner entered into a long harangue about
Turkel. Brown, who she said had assaulted her.

John Free, a police-constablo, No. 401 K, said ho was
called this morning to a riot in the Commercial-road,
nearly opposite Hungorford-straet. The prosecutor's car
was bleeding, the greater portion of it was gone. The
young man said the prisoner had cut his oar off. He saw
her throw something away, whether it was a knife or not
ho could not say. He did not look after it. If ho haddone
so he should have lost the prisoner.
In answer to questions by the magistrate, the witness
said the prosecutor was quite sober. He should have
taken the prisoner's husband if ho had assistance. The
whole of the upper portion of the prisoner's loft ear was
gone.
The Prisoner—l believe it was bitten off—l did not cut
it off.

Mr. Paget directed the police-constable to make further
inquiries about the case, and remanded the prisoner for a
week.
