tLEAKBNOPLL gSSIOYi

On Tuefday Jofeph Ilrandon, a Jew, was raddled
for three feveral a&alts on his wife on the ad, loth,
and isth of February. The lady lilted, that the
had married Brandon about four years ago., That
the brought him soul. in call], betides plate, china,
and articles of furniture. She left him on the t sth
of February lad, in confeqaence of his brutal ufage.
She had that day alked him for money to buy a pair
of thoes; which he refuted, detlring her to order a
pair, for which he would pay when they were fent
home. She went on this bufinefi, and did not re-
turn till ten at night, having gone to drink tea with
her filler. When the came in, he fell upon her,
and beat her molt violently over the arms and brealt,
(wearing nifferably at her.
The brother of the profecatris defcribed the fitua-
Lion in which his lifter was, in confequence of the
treatment the had received. Her arms were black,
and the complained much of a pain in her breaft.
Dr. Price Said he obferved her arms were back
above the integuments of the elbows. Such an ap-
pearance mull have ken produced by Vows. He did
not examine Mrs. Brandon's brea'. It was always
a delicate part to infpeet ; but from her complaining
of pain ill it, he fent her an embrocation.
Mr. CIIMMON SBRJFANT, its defence, laid it 'would
have been more decorous had the parties fettled the
bufinefs out of Court; the afftult actually taking
place had not been fupported by any oiher teflituony
than that of the prolecutrix. The Jury, as married
men, would do well to reflea on the fituation
which they would reduce the married part of the
community, if they gave a vertfie for the prufecution.
By Co doing, they would authorize a woman, merely
out of revenge, nr probably to gratify fpleen and
vinditlive ill nature, to drag her haband before a
Jury entirely without f‘nindation. The Jury found
the prisoner Guilty. He aas ordered to be tined aos.
and to enter into rectignitances to keep the peace for
two years, under the penalty of ;col.
Three perfons, named (tt2itt, Bell, and Nowell, were
indicted for affaulting :rod obitritaing Trevallion,
Movie, and Taylor, Officers of the Thames Police, in
the execution of a peels warrant. Q.2in is mailer of
the Ballad Lighter public bottle, in Star-Street, Shad-
well; Bell is a Ship captain; and Newell a navy agent.
The affray happened between eleven and nrelve
o'clock at night the 241 h of June. The Officer*
f4w a man enter the ptibliL hone whom they knew to
be a failor They tolowed him tip Slaws and Secured
him. When they came tint, they were followed in
a moment by the pi-Sorters, who btat them and af-
tuced them violently. They, however, focceeded
in curing the nun, and now indieed the prifoners
fot the atfault.

'I his cafe occupied the attention of the Court for
fever at hours. It i. needle(' to tetail all that pad. It
is foffic lent to fay that the latement of the Offic. r. was
vary much invalidated by the telt imony cf a number of
wit oars, who declared that the prifoners did not leave
re h. ule till a good while after the Officers had gone.
The Jury accordingly found them—Not Guilty.
