At Union Hall, on Thurfday, a decent young
woman, in the neighbourhood of the Afylum,
Lambeth, charged her hulband and his mother
with aliaulting her, and threatening her life.—
ghe Rated, that on the t tth of July, which was in
lcfs than a fortnight after marriage, her hatband
came to her before the was up, and demanded the
key of her dray/err, to fearch, as he alledged. for a
letter which he fill-pelted her to have received from
a female friend, whole acquaintaace he had defired
her to drop ; upon her hefitating to' give him the
key be treated her very roughly. and (be had at that
time applied for a warrant, Let upon his promife of
better treatment the had contented to drop the bull
nefs ; he had, however, lance that time. continued
to nit her ill, and ;" eqiiently threatened to put a pe-
riod to her exigence. Among other regions of com-
plaint (he Elated, that he was in the habit of receiv-
ing a weekly Wary, which he regularly gave to his
mother, who lived with them, and thereby rendeted
the complainant entirely fublervitnt to her will.
The hufband in his defence denied the charge of
having tiled any threatening language te.wards his
wife : he acknowledged to have forbidden her to
correfpond with the perfon the alluded to, but Paid it
was in confequence of her being a perfon of impro-
per charafter. He was entering into a long written
defence, when the Magiftrate interfeted, oble • ag,
that it appeared plainly there had been faults on both
fides, and advifed them to retire, and if poflible
come to terms, and not expofe themfelves as a poblic
exhibition. Thi4, however, the woman pofitively
refilled, tido; apprehenlive as the laid, that if the
went home with him again Ise would mtrder her.—
The MAgiftrates then advifed her to prefer a Bill of
IndiCtment againfl him at Hort-monger-lane, on
Monday next, and to place herfelf in the mean time
under the protation of her father and mother, who
were prefent in Court, which advice the expreied
herfelf determined to follow.

A publican in the Mint was charged with affault-
ing a poor miferable looking old man, and punting
him out of doors.

The publican, in his defence, (Wed that the plain-
tiff had come to his houfe the evening before, and
had continued there all night and the nest day; he
laid, that having generally eight or nine lodgers
every night, and as they were ufually grangers, and
feldom flept at his houfe two nights following, it was
his rule to receive fixpence for their lodging every
night before they went up (lairs; the plaintiff had
paid his lodging the fiat night, but the fccond night
he had no money, the defendant therefore had refuf•
ed to let him fleep there, and had gently pjhed him
out of the houfe.

The Mvgiltrate made particular enquiries with
refped to the hou!e where this tranfadion took place,
and allured the publican, be would not get his li-
cenfe renewed next Eicenfing day, the Magiltrates
being determined to put down all thofc fort of gene-
ral Indging.hottles, which in fad were a receptacle
for nothing but rogues and vagabonds. The publi-
can was ordered to find bail to anfwer the affeult.

putation.
An accident lately happened to Mils F. daughter
