OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
James Cummins, aged 38, was indicted fur =alit:loll-4Y
cutting, with intent to kill and murder, his wife Cathr.
rine, on the sth of August last, in the parish of 64
Air. C. PHILLIPS stated the case. ..2•

Catherine Cummins (who at first refused to he swot*
but afterwards consented) was then called up by Idr:
Baron Garrow. She appeared ready to sink, and - stet&
to the Court that she began the assault with a flat
and dared bins to hit her.
Mr. Ilsron GARROW-Prosecutrix, you are brought
here to perform one of the must painful duties that can bi
performed in administering justice ; Ivlsicb duty, however'
you are bound to pet form, even if it affects the life of Y!lit
own husband.
The prosecutrix (supported by her nurse) was affected,'
almost to fainting; she answered that she knew she rove
tell the whole truth, but she knew that she was much in
fault.
She was then examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS-She livet
with the prisoner at No. 8, Church-lane, in the parish
St. Giles's; was, on the sth of August, cutting some veal
for her children; the prisoner was there; be came is 11'
eleven o'clock, with two shillings and four pence; aske'
bins why he did not bring in more money ; he said dial'
he was coming in first to have something to eat, as lit
could work better after it; she began to jaw at him ; Ise
called her souse out of the way name, and she struck hint
with a fiat iron ; he said he had a good mind to strike her
again with it ; she dared him to do it, and he then strut
her ; she took her own part es wril es she could, aol
screamed out; she fel!, but she did not exactly know srha
caused her to fall ; she had been examined before the Ma.•
gistrate, but she was then almost insensible, nod did not
hardly know what she said.
At this stage of the case, Mr. Baron GAIMOW intimatel
to Mr. Phillips that he did not think the indictment caul
sust:inchl, as, to support the present charge, it was net
cessary tba the crime should have been murder, if the per"
sun assaulted had died.

The Jury immediately acquitted the prisoner.
The Learned JUDGE then told him that, from the et
duct of the prosecutrix on this occasion, he was bound
future to show more than the usual tenderness expec'
between persons in the married state.
The prisoner and his wife appeared much affected dill:
the whole case ; but, when • the prosecutrix ascertrtillA
that her husband was acquitted, she clasped her hands, Fi
cried with joy; in fact, there was hardly a female in C°°r. ,
who did not follow her example.
