POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

On Saturday a pastry-cook, named Ward, • was
brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged by his
mother-in-law with having violently assaulted her
that morning, at the unseasonable hour of four
o'clock.

The complainant stated that her daughter, the
defendant's wife, according to custom, dined with
her on Christmas-day,- after having arranged with
the defendant that if he did not call upon her before
eleven o'clock he would not call at all, and she
should sleep at her mother's house. Eleven o'clock
arrived and no huSband came, and the family retired
to rest without being interrupted. At four o'clock,
however, a loud knocking was heard at the door,
and the 4lefendant, in a loud Christmas•like tone of
voice, demanded to be admitted, and to take his
wife home with him. The complainant expostulated
with him upon the cruelty of compelling his wife to
rise at such an hour from a warm bed, and expose
herself to the rigours of the season; but he was so
warm within, that he swore he would have her out
of her nest to accompany him. It was useless to
argue with a person full of good things of the
day, and he was therefore peremptmily told that he
should not di,turb his wife. Irritated at this non-
compliance with his authority, he immediately
adopted forcible measures, and assaulted the com-
plainant in a most violent manner.
The LORD MAYOR and Mr. Hobler expressed
surprise and indignation at the brutality of the de-
fendant's conduct.

The defendant considered that a man's wife
should be at all times ready to attend to him, and
contended that the lateness of the hour, or the seve-
rity of th• weather, had nothing to do with the
question at all. He had directed his wife to be in
readiness to wait upon him home, and no person had
a right to interfere between married people. He
denied that he struck any blow, or used any violence
against the compla►nant, who had shown such a bad
example by encouraging disobedience in a wife.
The LORD MAYOR was not convinced by these
arguments, and ordered the defendant to find bail, in
default of which he was locked up. •
