A FURIOUS FEMALE.

A Welshwoman, who gave her name, as we understood,
Milly Lloyds, was charged with having on Monday night
created a disturbance in Church-street.
Police-officers 80 and 298, appeared as the accusers. The
former stated, that about half-an-hour past midnight he heard
" a hideous cry of police, in Church-street." He went to
the spot, when a female and a man who were there, pointed out
to him a person in sailor's clothes, who had, with some other
persons been abusing them. Officer 298 came up, and he
(witness) attempted to take hold of the man who was pointed
out. The moment he did so, the defendant (Mrs, Milly
Lloyds, who had been out on bail) rushed at him with the
fury of a tigress, and beat, and cuffed, and scratched, and
tore away at his face and head at a fearful rate. 1 never saw
such a woman in my life, said the officer. Itred to get away
from her, but she followed me, and knocked my head about
till I did not know where I was. As Mrs. Lloyds stood be-
fore the magistrates with an air of great meekness and re-
signation, and as she was moreover very obviously enciente,
it was difficult to believe this statement. The truth was,
moreover, made manifest, by the corroborative testimony of
the other officer, and subsequently by her own admission.
A hair-dresser, who had seen the first part of the transac-
tion previously to the arrival of the officers, was present in
court, for the purpose of giving an account of that part of
the transaction, into which, however, it was not deemed
necessary to go.
The defendant, with great volubility, but in sorely mangled
English, defended herself at considerable length. She said,
" We was takin' class of ale, an' that parper with the tother
man was there, an' they set to work an make fun of my man,
coss he ax for light of his pipe ; an' they set to quarrel, an'
the woman hits my huspant, and my huspant ht she ; an' the
parpar took his part coss she hit him. An' the tother man
poke my huspant in the eye, an' then they shout out police-
man, and the policemans coomt up, an' knock her pick stick,
an' the tother policemans coomt up an' knock wit her stick
'pon top of the pavin' stones too. An' the parper laughed,
an' say tat's the man, an' they took holt of my huspant, coss
he strike the woman tat strike him. So I say to her—you
take sharshe for sharshe (charge for charge;) but they not
to that, but 'sist 'pon take my huspant ; so then I interfere
to telifer him from them. Then they tookt me to the cole-
hole, coss I strike them to telifer my huspant when he was
put upon. They was all crocky, (groggy) an' they took me,
an' let the tothers co."
Mr. Rushton.—You foolish woman, your husband has
brought this upon you. Why do you interfere in such cases ?
Defendant.—l take my huspant's part always ; coss he
kets put upon.
Mr. Rushton.—You have behaved very ill ; but as you are
not in a situation to bear any punishment, you are dis-
charged, and I hope you will behave better in future.
CAUTION TO BUTCHERS AND OTHERS.
Robert Denton, who occupies a stall in St. John's market,
was charged by Maguire, one of the market constables, with
having continued to keep a dog in the market, notwithstand-
ing repeated cautions that it was an offence against the by
Laws to do so.
The defendant was fined 10s. and costs.
DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND. -

Thomas Bradshaw, one of the inspectors of police, was
charged by Maguire with having passed through St. John's-
market accompanied by his dog.
Maguire stated, that he saw Inspector Bradshaw' passing
through the market with his dog. He went to him and told
him that he had no right to take his dog into the market, as
it was an offence against the by-laws. Bradshaw turned
round, and pointing to some other dogs, said, " See, there
are other dogs in the market, why don't you turn them
out ?"
Inspector Bradshaw produced his dog in court. It was a
very handsome small French lap-dog. He said he was pass-
ing through the market with his dog at his heels, unaware
that there was any law against it, when Maguire came up to
_him and told him that he was not allowed to take his dog
into the market. As he saw several very large dogs there,
he asked Maguire why he did not turn those out.
Mr. Rushton said, as he (Inspector Bradshaw) was an
officer, he ought to set a good example. The defendant was
fined 10s. and costs, which was immediately paid.
It has been suggested, that a notice should be placed in
some conspicuous place about the market, stating that per-
sons are not allowed to take their dogs there, as many indi-
viduals violate the law through ignorance.

ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH.—The well-wishers of our estab-
lished church, will be glad to perceive, from an advertisement
in our columns of this day, that the good work of church
building is fast progressing in Liverpool. We are ourselves
happy to observe the walls of St. Saviour's Church fast rising,
whereby Windsor and the surrounding neighbourhood will be
blessed not only with the advantages which convenient church
accommodation and a resident ministry confer, but that (ac-
cording to the plan upon which this work proceeds) they
will have placed within their reach daily Sunday and infant
schools, calculated to receive from the lanes, and alleys of
that populous and increasing neighbourhood not less than
1000 of their little ones, thus amply providing for the spiritual
necessities of both old and young of this portion of the com-
munity. For our own part, we have but one feeling—namely,
of sincere good will for the prosperity of the undertaking ; we
wish it all success, and when we consider the distinguished
patronage of which the intended bazaar may boast, and the
determined perseverance of the parties engaged in it, we con-
fidently entertain the most sanguine hopes of a satisfactory
issue. Lady Sandon has, with her accustomed liberality,
sent three boxes, containing the work of herself and several
members of the Ryder family ; and the Earl of Harrowby
has announced his name as a subscriber of £,lO.
