GROSS OUTRAGE BY A ThiTSBAND.-011 Thursday Caleb.
Bold, watch-jeweller, Roscommon-street, and Martha
Roberts, a bold, dashing-looking female, were charged
with a gross assault upon Mrs. Bold and her two daugh-
ters. Mr. Davenport, solicitor, who, appeared for the
complainant, stated that,-about seven-or eight years ago
Mrs.-Bold had occasion to. bring her husband before the
magistrates. At that time it was arranged that she should
be allowed a certain sum ,per week. She had brought up
her family in a very respectable way. At the time of the
separation the eldest daughter was little more than an
infant. When she came to be fifteen or sixteen years of
age, the allowance, which at first was £1 a-week, was
reduced to 15s. When the son reached the same age, the
allowance was reduced to 10s. ; and, since June last, it
had again been reduced to Bs. On Wednesday week
Mrs. Bold went to speak to her husband at his house in
Roscommon-street. At first Mr. Bold was denied ; but,
at length, he made his appearance, kicked her severely,
and threw her and his two daughters into the street.
From the evidence of Mrs. Bold, who seemed to be in a
very weakly state, it appeared that the female, Martha
Roberts, had also struck and injured her. A number of
witnesses proved the assault. Mr. Rushton sentenced'
each to a fine of SA, and Mr. Bold to find bail himself in
£2OO, and two sureties in £lOO, and give 48 hours' notice.
of bail, or be imprisoned five months in default.
SUICIDE UNDER DERANGEMEINT.—Yesterday, an in-
quest was held on view of the body of Mary M`Millan,
widow, aged 40. The deceased was well known as the
daughter of the-late Etty Taylor, fruiterer, &c., in. St..
John's Market, to whose business she succeeded some
few years ago. About half-past eight o'clock on Saturday
morning she left her house, in St. Vincent-street,
to the market, and then appeared in a thinking way
spoke very little. She returned home in about an hour*
and went into the parlour for a bill, for which she searched
amongst some papers in a box. She then went into the
kitchen with several bills or papers in her hand, and sent
her servant girl for a threepenny receipt stamp. When
the girl returned deceased' told her it would not do, as it
was only for £lO, and she wanted one for £6O, giving her
ls. 6d. ba pay for it. It was brought and given to
her. She then sent witness to the market to., ask her
(deceased's) father to remain at the standing until she
came down, as she had some particular business to attend
to which must be settled by eleven o'clock, or it would
ruin her for ever. On the girl leaving deceased, gave her
a key,.saying, " take this, as I shall be goin out." The
girl thought it was the key of the door, and''e
she returned
withat in a quarter of an hour, and tried to open the lock,
but the key was too large. She knocked twice, and heard
deceased call out her name. She then looked through
the key-hole and saw a shadow on the kitchen floor. She
called to her mistress, and saw her feet beta een the stairs
and the front door. She (deceased) was walking back-
wards and forwards in and out of the kitchen. Another
female came up, and peeping through, saw der standing
at the kitchen door, flapping her arms at her sides, and
she then observed blood upon her elothing. The woman
ran to the market for her father,, and he got in by the
parlour window, the house being otherwise secured back
and front. She was then found with her throat cut, and
quite dead. A bloody razor was found near her. The
girl had observed her for two or three months to be much
agitated, and in very low spirits, and could not cheer her.
George Taylor, whose step-daughter she was, and who
resided in Chester, said he had seen her on Friday night
and Saturday morning, when she appeared to be dejected.
On her asking her what was the matter, she replied,
" Nothing." He did not know or think that she was at
all in difficulties. Several other parties had also observed
her to be low spirited, and not like herself in transacting
business. Her brother, George Taylor, who had been her
partner for two or three years, had also observed her to
be in a melancholy way on Friday, but had not noticed it
before.—The jury returned a verdict to the effect, that she
had destroyed herself during a temporary fit of insanity

CHARGE OF MURDER.—A man named Simes has been
taken into custody at Durham under the following cir-
cumstances :—A poor tramp named Maley had been stop-
ping for three or four days at a common lodging house,
kept by a woman named Richardson, situate in a court at
Claypath, in Durham. On Saturday evening last the
accused, who is the son-in-law of Richardson, ill used
some of the women lodging in the house, and was remon-
strated with by Maley and others, whereupon he chal-
lenged Maley or any of the others to fight him. saying he
was ready for either Englishmen or Irishmen. He laid
hold of 'Maley, and a scuffle ensued, in the course of which
Maley was thrust down upon a bed. He succeeded in
getting up, and another scuffle took place, during which
Simes a wife entered the room, and shouted to her hus-
band to "rip the villain's guts out." Simes had again
got Maley upon the bed, and was observed to take some-
thing out of a pogket in his jacket, and stab Maley in the
abdomen in two aces, from both of which the bowels
protruded. Assistance wasobtained, and the unfortunate
man was conveyed to the union workhouse, where he
lingered but a very short time.
