MARLBOROUG 11-STREET.

Saturday, Mrs. Hill, wife of Mr. Hill, oilman, Piccadilly, was
brought up in custody of Clements the officer, on an assault war•
rant obtained against her by her husband.

This Lady, who was dressed in a superior style, and apptcred
to be about forty, has been repeatedly held to bail on
charges. Mr. 11111 placed on the table the fragments of a large
crystal salt celler, the instrument will which the assault had beet
committed, and proceeded to state that be was sitting quietly ii
the parlour, when she rushed in without th,, least twice, and begat
to abuse him in the most shocking manner; and not satisfied with
that, she laid hold of a large salt teller, and with the utmost fury
dashed it at his head. Luckily for him, he hail time to raise his
right arm to protect his face, and warded off the blow.
Mr. Mehl% confirmed this statement. Mr. Hill did not use
any violence or threats before t►is assault. There were high words
ou eac► side.

Mrs. Hill, who had repeatedly attempted to interrupt bet husham:,
on being informed by the Magistrate that he was now ready to hee
what she bad to say, proceeded to state her defence :—She had beet
separated from her husband at that Officc sonic time ago, and had
been allowed only 751. a year. That was a small pittance for a
woman who had formerly kept her carriage and servants, and h.. 1
plenty of everything at her command. Of that, however, she would
say nothing. She went to see her two daughters who lived with
their brother. to whom, and net to Mr. Hill, the house belong., acid
she considered that she had a right to go there. She went to h:n.
in the parlour. in order to see if some new arrangenitnt
made with the Trustees about her plate. It was worth 3001. and
as she wanted it much, she offered to give up something else in place
of it. She bad come from Brighton for that purpose, as well as t..
see her children, and on main the proposal to him, he refused ho
consent, and told her, that he bad bought het with a (con.
chiding the sentence with two vulgar words) which irritated her so
much that she took up the salt teller, and in her passion flung it at
the wall, but had no intention of hitting him with it.
Mr. Hires thought it more probable that she had thrown it with
the intention of striking her husband than the wall, and it any other
weapon had come in her way perhaps she might have used it against
his life.

I might, said she. If I had had a pistol in my bosom, I would
have fired it at him. The worthless fellow, to treat me in the way
be does. I hope my eon will yet fire a pistol at him before he dies.
Mr. Draa having ascertained from Mr. Aveling that Mr. Ilia
had not used the words imputed to bins, and that the house was
their mutual property, said he had heard quite enough to justify
him in calling 011 Mrs. Hill to find bail.
I'll find no bail, said she. I'll go to prison, but I'll not find bail.
The officer then took her into custody ; but she resisted his au-
thority for some time with the utmost obstinacy, until after many
entreaties and threats she was at last put into a place of security.
