DISTTJREANCE IN TIGER BAY.--John. Smith,
a tall sallow-looking man, attired in a guernsey frock, was
brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting Mary
Howard, of No. 33, Brunswick-street, better known as
Tiger-bay, St. George's-in•-the-East, and breaking up her
household furniture.
The complainant, who belongs to the fat, fair, and forty
order, said that Mr. Smith was her lodger—in fact he had
been living with her, and she mainly supported him by her
own industry. Yesterday she went out chafing, and earned
Is. 6d., which she brought home in the evening, and spent
a few halfpence in supplying him with beer and tobacco.
He wanted the rest of the money, and on her refusing to
give it to him be broke up her bedstead, chairs, chimney
ornaments, washing-basin and stand, and then danced on
the ruins of her property. When she remonstrated with
him he beat her about the head and body and nearly killed
her.

Mr. Selfe—Come, Mrs. Howard, you are exaggerating ;
there is a slight mark on your face, and that is all. This
was done in Tiger-bay ?
Mrs. Howard—Yes, sir. That is what they call our
street.
Mr. Selfe—And a very appropriate name it is.
The prisoner—Every word she says is false. She broke
the things by wrestling with me.
Mr. Selfe— She broke a bedstead, two chairs, two tables,
and a lot of crockery by wrestling ?
Prisoner—Yes, sir.
Mr. Selfe—lt was a most extraordinary wrestle indeed.
The prisoner—The things don't belong to her, but to me.
She got my half-pay while I was away, sir.
Mrs. Howard—He was away in the West Indies on a
sugar plantation for 10 years, and he came back on the Gbh
of December last ill, with £2 4s. Bd. in his pocket, and I
have lived with him ever since. He lived with me 18 years
ago, and I have been a true and good wife to him for a
lon time.

Mr. Salta—No. You are not a true and good wife. You
are not married to him, and have no claim on each other.
Mrs. Howard--I want a separation from him.
Mr. Selfe—will you keep away from 33, Brunswick-
street, Mr. Smith ?

Thti prisoner—I will, sir, indeed.
The prisoner was then bound over in his own recognis-
ance to keep the peace and be of good behaviour towards all
her Majesty's subiertg, and AspreinliF M.ry Uovrard,fvr
Six mouths.

Mr. Selfe—Give the prisoner his papers. He has him
discharge now, and a discharge from Mary Howard and
Tiger-bay.
