POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FIT SUBJECTS FOR PUNISHMENT. A BRACE OF
BRUTES.—Alexander Driscoll, a tailor, living in Pulteney-
court, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following
brutal treatment of his wife, Elizabeth Driscoll :
The complainant, who seemed in rather delicate health,
and handed in a medical certificate, said—l don't wish to
punish my husband if he'll reform.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—How can I guarantee that ?
Wife—Cannot he be bound over ? I only want peace.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—l will hear the case.

The wife then said she had given her husband a shilling
for drink, and afterwards, while she was getting the chil-
dren's tea, he seized her and knocked her on the floor, and
tried to get a little bag from her in which she had some
money, but she resisted, He then kicked her on the leg
most violently, so that she was obliged to go to the hospital,
and after her return he again assaulted her. Her husband
was a carter, and she had two children.
Constable, C 9 C, said the wiman was sober at the time,
but the defendant had been drinking. He saw the woman's
leg, and it was very badly bruised.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he thought the prisoner as good a can-
didate for two months as could be, and committed him for
that term.

John Bell, a labouring man, was then charged with as-
saulting his wife.

It appeared that he was in the habit of illusing his wife,
and leaving her to support him and the family, and on the
constable going to the wife's assistance on Saturday night
she was nearly black in the face.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should impose no fine, and as in
the previous case, commit him for one month with hard
lahour.

ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Elizabeth Harris, a young
woman, was charged with stealing a dress piece and other
articles, and also with embezzling a small sum of money,
Miss Emma Adams, dressmaker, 88, South Moton-street,

said the prisoner had only been in her service a fortnight
when she missed the articles. The prisoner at first denied
all knowledge of the articles, but after wards said she had
pledged them at the corner of Gees-court, Oxford-street.
Ihe articles were produced and identified by the prosecu-
trix, having been pledged at a pawnbroker's, 168, Oxford-
street, by, as believed, the prisoner.
Miss Adams then said that on Christmas eve she sent the
prisoner for some articles at a tavern, giving her the money
to pay for them, but she got them in her name without
paying for thorn.
Prisoner—l am guilty of taking the things, and am truly

sorry.
Mr. Tyr whitt said the only thing in her favour was her
age, 18, but she must have three months' imprisonment.

TUE CONDEMNED MEN AT STAFFORD.—The be-
haviour of the men during the week which has elapsed
since their condemnation has been, so far as is possible
with men in their situation, of a satisfactory nature. The
execution will take place on Saturday next.— Staffordshire
Advertiser.
