BOW-STREET.

Yesterday, Mr. Stewart and his wife, a respectable old Scotch
couple, appeared at this office, to aditht a domestic broil. Mr.
Stewart was accused of assaulting his wife, and putting her life e
jeopardy. On the usual oath being administered, Mrs. Stewart
raised up her hands after the manner of testificatioa adopted by per•
mina belonging to the Church of Scotland ; and
The Magistrate (Sir It. Basins) inquired if she profaned the
tenets of that Church 7—lndeed I do, replied the old Lady, and your
Worship will be satisffed of the fact, on reading t►is letter.
Sir R,. gam received the letter, and, on reading it, buns into
an immoderate fit of laughter,and declared, that, although be Mal
in the daily habit of reading extraordinary effusions, that that epistle
beat them all hollow.

This letter was a aptly lithographed circular, and was directed
to Mrs. &ewart.
As non as Sir Ibestaiao Bowe had tecovered his gravity, he
(paired whether the old Lady had been to the meeting ?
Mrs. fitewan-.06, undoubtedly, Sir ! It was a n.ost comfort-
able sight.
Sir IticnaariWell, well, never mind the sight, but return to the
assault.
Mrs. &ewart then stated, that she and her husband bad bees is
London for upwards of as years, during which time, and untilsof
recently, they were as happy as happy could be. A decided alit
lamentable alteration, however, had become visible in her husband's
behaviour, and instead of the kind and *affectionate manner in "Wei
he was wont to
violent, and his language, which formerly was chaste as tormenter,
had become painful even to listen to. On the previous Sunday
night, while sitting at their supper, he abruptly Jumped fi oat ha
seat, snatched a boos from the dial:, and flung it at het head, which
was severely cut by the blow ; in addition to this he had beaten Id
most unmercifully.
And to what do you attribute this change? Inquired the :Vas**
trate.—lnsanity, your Worship, answered Mrs. Stewart; fur to
nothing else can I ascribe it.
Well, Sir,. old Sir Rinser.," addreuing Mr. Stewart, and what
have you to iay to ell this ?—Nothing, Sir—nothing, respu::ded the
Gentleman; I am quite unconscious of the business ; my wife nay
speak the truth, and no doubt does, but I am unconscious of every
thing.
Alai of the bone, too? asked the Magistrate.—Certainly, Sir—
it was a very small bone, and I had no intention---
What then you are conscious after all? observed Sir Mous°.
No, Sfr Richard; no, lam not. I got a bad cut on the head
some time since, and I am in consequeoce at Limo suconicious.
The Magistrate, however, ordered him to hod bail, and there the
MUM, ended for the present.
