and inflicted a dreadful wound. He bled like a horse and
fainted away.
Charles Stennar, a police constable, No. 439 K, said that
he was called to an infamous house in Elbow .lane, and saw
the prisoner there. She was a most savage and disorderly
woman. She had the scissors in her hand brandishing
them. He took them from her. They were covered with
blood. The prosecutor had a cut hole in the temple, from
which the blood was flowing profusely, and he conveyed
him to a surgery.
Mr. Woolrych commented on the atrocious conduct of
the prisoner, who was a perfect fury. He sentenced her to
pay a fine of £5 for the assault, and in default to be com-
mitted for two months.
AN INCORRIGIBLE SON.—Thomas Melrose, an ill -con-
ditioned morose-looking boy, about 16 years of age, was
brought before Mr. Woolrych, on a charge of robbing his
parents, who are poor, but industrious and respectable per-
sons, dwelling at No. 2, Smith's-place, Liraehouse.
The parents of the prisoner said he had been continually
pilfering, that he was a constant source of trouble to them.
He had almost beggared them. He was vicious and idle.
He was apprenticed to the sea service, and invalided home,
and would not go to sea again. His last pilfering exploit
was to steal a sovereign which his mother had deposited in
a drawer and was intended for the payment of a debt. The
want of it had put his parents to great inconvenience.
The boy, who treated the charge with great levity, roared
out that he only took 16s. lid. last Saturday, and spent it.
The Mother—lt was a sovereign- I left the front room
for a minute or two, and when I came back he was gone
and the money too.
The prisoner pleaded guiltY, and Was sentenced to one
month's imprisonment, with hard labour.
