BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A female pauper, named Mary Roach, was brought up in
custody from St. Giles's workhouse, charged with assaulting
an aged pauper, of the name of Eliza Ticton, by striking her
with a pail in the workhouse-yard.
The poor old woman said that she told the prisoner, on the
previous afternoon, that the bell was ringing, and the pri-
soner immediately said what is that to you ? and struck her
with a pail in the face, by which her eye was very much in-
jured. She had given the prisoner no provocation whatever.
Other witnesses corroborated this statement.
The prisoner, in her defence, said the complainant struck
her first, and she appealed to the Magistrate, whether it was
likely that she would have struck the complainant under the
"equivocation" (provocation) of being merely spoken to. She
also insinuated that the food in the workhouse was not of a
aid lie should fine the prisoner 205., or in

She was locked up.

31ARYLEBONE.7-(THIS DAY.)
Henry Danton, jun., was placed at the bar, charged by his
father with having committed a violent assault upon his mo-
ther, sisters, and complainant.
The evidence proved that yesterday evening the prisoner
had entered his father's house, at West-end, Hampstead.
He commenced abusing his mother, and from words pro-
ceeded to blows ; he also kicked her severely, inflicting there-
by considerable injuries. llis sisters and complainant inter-
fered, when he knocked the two first down, and turning then
upon the latter, served him in a similar manner.
Mr. RAwriNsorr—Why, what reason had he for doing all
this? Complainant—Ohsno reason at all; it's a way he has
when he is drunk.
The sisters and mother did not appear to prosecute.
The prisoner expressed his sorKow for his brutal conduct,
and attempted to set up a plea ofdrunkenness in extenuation.
Mr. RAwuNsox-said that as his fiifher was the only pro-
secutor, he (the Magistrate) would only take the assault
upon him into consideration. rer it he should fine the pri-
soner 405., or in default of payment- two months in the House
of Correction.

The father prayed very earnestly that the punishment
might be mitigated, and
Mr. RAWLINSON said that if the prisoner could bring good
bail Tor his future good conduct, he might be induced to lower
the fine.
