HATTON-GARDEN.

A rather elderly female, accompanied by her son and her
daughter, entered the office yesterday, and applied to Mr. Lange, for
a warrant against her husband, for an assault of an aggravated
nature. She stated that her husband was a silversmith and jew-
eller, and resided in a street near Hatton-garden. He accused her
and his daughter of stealing a certain book, called the " Woman
of Pleasure," from his bureau, and said he was positive that the
daughter knew something about ft. The complainant protested
that she knew nothing whatever of such a book, and remonstrated
with him on the subject; but he became enraged, and seizing a
butcher% cleaver, which happened to be in the way, he made a
blow of it at her head, and the consequences would have been
fatal, had not her daughter interfered. The force of the blow was
broken, and the cleaver cut her slightly on the head. He threat-
ened 4isi to strike his daughter, and vowed vengeance against her,
should she coins in his way spin: The complainant said she went
in danger of her life. She was married upwards of twenty years,
and had grand children. She now claimed the protection of the
Idagistrate./14 141.1140 granted the warrant without hesitation.

trunk that was cut from his carriage having been the

ornament, but as a relic of a dear and deceased relative.
