THE ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT OF A LUNATIC.

—Yesterday Mr. G. S. Brent, deputy coroner for West
• Middlesex, and the jury previously empanelled, reassembled
at the Colney-hatch County Lunatic Asylum, Friern Barnet,
for the purpose of further investigating the circumstances
connected with the death of Samuel May, aged 49, whose
death, it was alleged, was the result of injuries sustained
through the violence of an attendant, as reported in our
columns of Monday last. Some further evidence having
been taken, the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a
verdict, " That the deceased Samuel May died from ex-
haustion, accelerated by fractured ribs, but how those
injuries were produced there was not sufficient evidence
before them to prove." The jury were about to attach to
their verdict a recommendation that the asphalte flooring
should be removed, when Mr. Scaife said that was already
in hand, and would be completed in about three months.
Extra attendants would also be engaged.
BUCKLEYS' SERENADERS AND THE SHEFFIELD
MAGISTRATES.—An application for " a license is perform
Stage-plays" was made by Mr. Broadbent, at the Town
Hall, Sheffield, on Tuesday last, on behalf of Mr. Joseph
Johnstone, Manager of Buckley's ',Serenaders. The license
was to authorise them to perform Stage-plays, in the Music
Hall, for a fortnightt. The application was opposed by
Mr. A. C. Branson, on behalf of Mr. Charles Pitt,
Lessee of the Theatre Royal, who said that, to grant
the present application, would be attended with ruinous
consequences to Mr. Pitt, who took the Theatre on some
sort of representation. If a license was granted
'to the Music Hall, it would be unjust sot to license
other singing rooms in the town, if application was made.
Mr. W. Smith, a magistrate—These singing rooms are
drinking rooms as well. Mr. Branson—Yes, over which
you have a power, and if they transgress you have the
license in your hands, and can remedy the evil. I contend
that there has been no case made out on behalf of the pub'
lie. The Bench well know that there is a large building in
the town, capable of holding 3,000 or 4,000 persons, for
which applications have been made, but without success'
Mr. W. Smith—There is an additional inducement there•
There they can have the drama and gin. Mr. Branson-1
didn't know that before. Mr. Branson—Well, they Can
have beer, which is the same thing. Mr. Dann—l thini'
the justices will not deem it right to grant stage licenses t°
public-house. After some other unimportant conversation,
the ma gstrates retired, and on their return granted a license
for a fortnight —Era.

CAPTURE OF A FEMALE FlEND.—Ycsterday
ing an altercation took place between two females, aPPer-
ently drunk, in the Waterlob-road, when a most desperate
fight ensued, and the result was that one of them, n
well-
known desperate character, bit off the nose of her opponeaG
and swallowed it. This caused a strong feeling against her
by the mob. She was taken to Tower street station, se"
verely biting the hands of the officer on her way to the
station-house.
An extraordinary act was committed yesterday
in the Rue Boulay. A young man, Joseph A--, called
at the lodgings of his brother in that street to receive some
linen which he had confided to a young woman who lived
with his brother, to get washed. The linen was not ready'
and ho got into a violent quarrel with the female ; at length
hi became so irritated that he took her child, six weeks old,
who was sleeping in a cradle, and threw it out of the 'win-
dow, which was on the first floor. The little creature was
not killed on the spot, but was so injured that it is not ex-
pected to recover. The young man took to flight, but NvaS
afterwards captured and sent to the Prefecture of rohcei
