TIIE SECRETARY OF A FORESTER'S LODGE CHARGED
WITH EMBEZZLEMENT.--Robert Thomas, secretary
of Court 1715 of the Ancient Order of Foresters,
held at the house of Mr. Rowlands, the York Mins-
ter, Wardour-street, Soho, was brought before Mr.
Knox on a warrant, by Sergeant Charles Cole, of
the C division, charged with embezzling the sum of
£1 ls., the moneys of the trustees of the lodge.
Mr. William Rowlands, of the York Minster, 50
Wardour-street, Soho, said that Court 1715 of the
Ancient Order of Foresters was held at his house,
and he was the treasurer. The prisoner was ap-
pointed the secretary three months ago, having for-
merly been sub-secretary. On the death of the late
secretary a grant was made from the funds for the
purpose of defraying the expense of the funeral, and
Dr. Sanders gave a guinea towards the object,
which the prisoner had failed to acknowledge, and
he (Mr. Rowland) had never received the same. It
was the prisoner's duty to account to him for all
moneys he received.

Dr. Sanders, of South Molton-street, proved pay-
ing the prisoner a guinea, and taking his receipt for
the same.

I he prisoner was remanded.

THAMES.

A VIRAGO.—DREADFUL ASSAULT ON A HUS-
BAND.—Ann Allan, a dissipated woman, was
brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting
her husband, a strong, hard-working fellow, with
a wound over his left eye, which was terribly in-
flamed and swollen.

The parties have been married several years, and
their life has been anything but one of Elysian har-
mony and comfort. The wife was addicted to strong
drinks, and her husband, insteadpf finding a cheerful
hearth and a sober wife at the termination of his
day's labour, had often found her helplessly intoxi-
cated. His earnings for the last week—the whole
of which, like a good husband and father, he had
brought home for the support of his wife and family
—were as follows :—On Saturday, 7s. ; Monday,
Gs. ; Tuesday, ss. ; Thursday, Gs. ; Friday, 4s. Last
night he requested his wife to fetch a pot of beer
to drink with their supper. She was gone a long
time, and he went out in search of her. He found
her in a beer shop with most disreputable company
and brought her home. He remonstrated with her,
and she abused him in a furious manner, and took a
kettle from the hob, with which she struck her hus-
band a tremendous blow on the forehead. lie fell
insensible on the floor, a severe wound was inflicted,
and bled copiously. There was a surgical plaister on
his forehead, and he was in a weakly condition from
loss of blood.

The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. Paget
sentenced her to be imprisoned for two months in
the Westminster House of Correction, and kept to
hard labour.
