with brotilly assaulting his wife from time to time,.
and 'particularly on .Wednesday last, when he con-
ducted himself. towards her so as to endamler her life.
The principal witness against the prisoner was his
own daughter, an interesting young female, who
stated, that for a considerable time her father had
behaved to her mother in the most cruel manner, that
he had not only beat and abused her in the most
.savage manner, but had frequently seized a hatchet,
with which he traversed the apartment and threaten.
ed to take her life. These outrages were rendered
still more aggravating on Wednesday last, by his
sud ienly attacking her, knocking her upon the ground,
and while in this state, dragging her along a flagged
passage, until she was rescued from his furious grasp
by some of the inhabitants. The prisoner was fully
committed for want of bail.

szoN.Hau..—John Curing was yesterday brought
before Mr. EVANCE, charged by May with a brutal
assault on Ann Monterief. It appeared hoist May's
statement, that the prisoner's wife and Mrs. Mout-
cri4 are of the same profession. they each superintend
an oyster-stall, and generally take their standing near
each other in the vicini..y of St. George's Church, in
the Borough. In the course of trade some dispute
had arisen between the women, which terminated in
blows, and Mrs. Guriag had obtained a warrant of
assault against her opponent ; the case was to have
come on for a hearing yesterday, but the !itkoner
had determined not to wait tht• tedious delay of legal
forms, but to take the law into his own hands, sox'
to do himself justice ; accordingle, having met Mrs.
Montcrief or, Wednesday evening in the court where
they both lived, he kn.:Aed her down, and, whilst
on the ground, he kicked her about the head and
body in a most brutal manner, and left her insensible,
and apparently dead. In this situation she WAS dis-
covered by the neighbours and taken to the Hospital,
where she still remains in a state affording no hopes
of her recovery. The prisoner appeared quite un-
concerned for what he had done. 'The woman, he
said, had assaulted his wife and struck him, and he
considered be bad a right to give her a beating. He
was committed for re-examination.

afterwards struck him several blows evith a stick.

'Pais evidence was corroborated by the young um
who laup,i:e4 who said he dtd not laugh to give
offence to Mr. Pearson. _ _ _ _ •

Mr. Pearson admitted having struck complainant
as state,!, but adduced several teas- ns for so doing.
He said, about five months back he had a smart
handsome girl as servant, who was
.constantly an-
noyed and insulted by the complainant ; and on re-
monstrating with his master, Mr. 'Putts, he was not
reprimanded, and since then, both complainant and
the person who laughed (his witness), had been in
the practice of ridiculing him.
Mr. Mom, the Magistrate, said, however that
might be, he was not justified in committing so violent
an assault, merely because he was laughed at, con-
sequently he must bad bail. With tl.is le was pro-
vided, and bail was given accordingly.
Sarah Palmer was charged with robbing her ready
furnished lodgings, and likewise stealing a conside-
rable quantity of wearing apparel, the property of

in Winkfield-street, Spitalfields, and the prisoner
Came to lodge there. Some time back, having occa-
sion to go out with his family in the evening, she re-
quested to be locked in. Singular as this wish ap-
peared to be, she was locked in, and no suspicion
WAS harboured of her until the family returned, and
she was not to be found. On examination, the apart-
ments were found stripped of every portable article,
as well as her own lodging. Information was given
at this Office, and the prisoner apprehended, and
part of the property discovered to'be pledged by her.
She was fully committed.
