MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SCENE IN N CONCERT ROOM.—Ellen Farr, a
young woman, was brought before Mr. Knox, on a
warrant, charged with assaulting Ellen Barry.
The complainant, whose face was injured, said
chat on Tuesday night she went to a concert
at the White Lion, Hemming's-row, and was
called upon to sing a song. While the
chairman had gone down stairs the prisoner
came up to her, asked her a question, and then
said that he would smash her nose. The prisoner
then struck her, and they went downstairs into the
street and had a fight, and the prisoner fell and
hurt her head. The prisoner was taken to the
Charing Cross Hospital, and some time after re-
turned with a bottle of something which had been
given to her by the doctor, and struck her (com-
plainant) in the face, and she had also to be taken
to the hospital.

Mr. Knox said that as far as the first part of
the matter was concerned the complainant was as
bad as the prisoner.
The prisoner said that she was in the concert-
room when the complainant came and muttered
something to her, and told her that she was too fast,
and stripped off her things, and struck her two or
three times. The complainant then challenged her
to go down stairs and have it out, and on going
down stairs the complainant threw her on the kerb,
and hurt her head. She went to the hospital,
and, on returning with a bottle in her
hand, the complainant said something to the
landlady about her, and she then asked the com-
plainant why she had given her such an eye, and
struck her with the bottle.

Arthur Herring, one of the warrant officers, said
that on taking the prisoner into custody, and tell-
ing her the charge, she admitted it, but said that
she was not sober at the time, that she was sorry
for it, and that the one was as bad as the other.

Air. Knox said that appeared to be the case—
one being taken to the hospital of ter the other.
The prisoner said that she would compensate the
complainant as far as lay in her power.
Mr. Knox said he would remand the prisoner for
seven days on her own recognizances, when both
parties could come and tell him how they were
getting on, one appearing to be as much to blame
as the other.

THE OWNER REQUIRED FOR A ROLL OF FLANNEL.
—Reuben Cooper, potman, of No. 3, Johnson's-
court, Fleet-street, was charged with having in his
possession a roll of flannel, 21 yards, supposed to be
stolen.

The prisoner was seen by Joseph Wiuter, 97 F,
last night in company of the other lad going to dif-
ferent shops in Dudley-street with a roll of flannel
under his arm. Windsor saw him go to Donaf, a
marine store dealer, and he then went up and
asked him where he had got the flannel from, and
he said at first that he had bought it in Gough-
square of a young man on the previous night, but
afterwards altered his story, and Windsor then
took him into custody.

The prisoner, in answer to Mr. Knox, said that
he bought the flannel of a young man he did not
know.

. Mr. Knox told the prisoner that he did not be-
lieve him.

On the application of Windsor the prisoner was
remanded.

How SAUSAGES ARE MADE.—Edward North-
durft, a German, was charged before Mr. Paget
with the following serious offence, to wit, having in
his possession and preparing bad meat unfit for the
food of man. The present is probably the worst
case that has been brought before a court of justice.

Samuel Pritchard said that he had received nu-
merous complaints of the neighbours in St. George's-
in-the .East of an intolerable smell proceeding from
the premises occupied by the defendant. Yesterday
he went to his house, which was numbered 50, in
Everard-street, where he saw meat being chopped
up and made into German sausages. There were
some sausages in skins, which stunk fearfully, and
