BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FRUALR. —LENIENT SRN
TENCE.—Bartholomew Niamey, a tall powerful-looking
man, was brought before Mr. Corube, charged with
committing a murderous assault om Johanna Hunter .
The complainant, who exhibited two black eyes, and
a cut over the right eye, stated that she lived in
in Moss-
alley, Bankside. and the prisoner also resided the
same neighbourhood. About four weeks agl he was
committed to prison at this Court for assaulting his
wife; and, because witness gave evidence in her favour,
he bad frequently threatened to serve her out. On
Saturday, while she was standing in the alley, be passed,
and abused her very much, and struck her on the face,
making it bleed, and blacking her eye. She ran aura;
from him, and Mended to apply at this Court for a
warrant, but it was too late. On Monday in)rning she
was standing at her door, when he came up to her, and
without the least provocation knocked her down, and
she fell on the stairs inside. He then kicked her on
the face and neck, and she believed be would have mur-
dered her, bad not a policeman come up and took' him
into custody.

Susan Stevens, the wife of a labourer, residing in
Moss•alley, said, that she was standing at her door,
when she sav the prisoner go up to Mrs. Hunter, and
deliberately knock her down. She fell inside on the
stairs, and witness went and fetohed a constable, and
be was given into custody.
Mr. Combe asked the prisoner what he had to say in
answer to the charge I—He replied, that every time he
passed the complainant she called him very bad
names, and he had told her, if she did not hold her
tongue be would make her. While he was passing on
Monday she repeated her abuse, when he pushed her in
her house, and she fell down. He denied having
kicked her.

Mr. Combs told him that it was satisfactorily proved
to him that he had not only knocked her down, but
kicked her in a brutal manner. He should therefore
sentence him to three months hard labour in Wands-
worth House of Correction.
