A STRANGE CASE.—Mary Martin, a stout female, was
charged before Mr. Woolryo as follows :
Henry Martin, the defendant's husband, a fishmonger,
said yesterday my wife, having first threatened to rip me
up and to be the death of me before night, sat down to tea.
She then began singing very wildly. I told her not to kick
up such a row, and she then threw all the flower-pots off the
window ledge, and then flung. herself out of the windovi
across the ledge. I instantly rushed to the window and
succeeded in grasping her hands, all the rest of the body
swinging out of the window
; and had I not been a power-
ful man I must have let her go, and she would most proba-
bly have been killed, as she is a very stout woman. She
has been at Hanwell once.
Mr. Woolrych--How did she get that bruise on her arm ?
The defendant had a large discoleuration on her arm.
Defendant—You (to the husband) gave it me.
Husband—No, I did not ; you were in the hands of the
her
police
confi nem on Monday night. My wife is always like this in
Mr. Woolrych—Was she drunk?
Husband—l think not.
Wife—l was confined three years ago.
Husband—She seriously, threatened me.
Mr. Woolrych (to the husband)—Take her home, and
take care of her. Tho charge, which is that of being
drunk and threatening her husband, has not been made out.
You are discharged.
