dapper little man with sandy moustache long sandy
ha ana from his general ara there was no
against good looking Irish girl by the name of Ann
Welsh, who he said wanted to run away with him,
and thereby separate him from his lawful wife aud his
two babes. We will give his account, as related
before the Justice Officer Prince John Davis brought
the parties into court that the might decided
cording to the code, which is short and sweet
as administered by the worthy justice.
MAGIsTRArE-fou appear to be in trouble, Gross
let me hear what you have to say about this young
man.
TALon--Yonr honor, l have been for the last three
years in this city, and have niver had the scrap of
pen against me before in your books sent for my
wife and two children to out here and they arr
we'd here about five months ago. and in the same ship
this young woman came overland, in course as she
knew my wife, she came to board in the same house,
at No &c James street, in the
MAGIsTRATE-Wel what is that to do with the case?
How do you make it out that she wants to away
with you! Come to the point at once.
NJ, IhnLoh-Weil, Judge, II must, l must tell you
often into my room, aud we would be kind of socia
BILE together, and my wife popped in rather sudden
day and thought she something wrong, and she
ordered Ann out Of the room, and said if she ever
caught her in the room again with me she would lick
her. STILL she will come after and says she will
have me any how; do you see, Judge, afraid to
leave the room where have been shut up and confined
for the last two days for fear she would at mel
and for that reason Judge want her bound over to
keep the peace my wife she will lick both
MAGIsTRATE-lt would have been sad thing for
your wife if Ann had succeeded in carrying you OF
Your storyis certainly a funny one and no doubt YOU
tell the truth. What have you to say, Ann against
this desperate charge of attempting to carry of this
man from his lawful wife and small family!
ANN-Judge, its a such thing; his wife has abused
most shamefully; to- be-sure he's nice little man.
but don't want him; there are plenty more mnch
nicer than be is and hasn't got no wife. This morn
ing his wife, when down in the yard and just
STOPPING down, coined behind me, pushed Inc down
six stone steps and then threw pail of water all
me, and she said there you Id b., take that; that
will cool you, and I'll serve you dn sight if
catch you after my man again. Oh Judge, she's
abused me most shamefully and here's witness who
seed her do it, without my saying word. Ann
then directed the attention of the Judge to little
chunky fat, red faced woman, with red hair looking
as if she might be the mother of twenty children
with about much figure as barrel would appear
that her name, seeing she was about being called
Witness began to perspre most freely till 1t fairly
MAGBrRArE-wen, Mrs. Coddy Laughing at her
dro appearance what do you know about the matter?
What did you see done to Ann?
Mrs. Copy (taking long breath)-Your honor, all
! seed was just this-Ths young woman Ann Welsh,
was down in the yard and without saying nothing to
nobody this Mrs. Gross give her push behind, throw
ing her down six stone steps and threw pail of water
top of her. All her back is dreadfuy bruised and
indeed the poor girl is ruined and If your honor
only to see her back you would say don't believe
she'll ever be able to her back again and If there
is any law or justice in America, this Mrs Gross
ought to be punished.
MAGIsrRATE-My advice would be for Ann to get
situation and leave the house. and not interfere with
the privileges Of this mans wife. There is jealous
feeling existing on the part of the wife already, and
shown from the husbands own statements. Ann is q
pretty good looking girl, and doubt will be soon
supplied with lover there is yet in the city large
number of unmarried aiiors If judge from the
watch returns, which frequently show the names of
half dozen of a morning.
AMI don't want to take her away from her chill
dren. but want her to be bound over to keep the
peace for long time
MAGIsTRArE-Well, the husband has promised to
keep his wife peaceable If you leave him alone and
course to pursue. How much better would 1t be for
you all to speak kind to each other than to be
friendly.
Ann then promised the Judge she would let the tai
Tor aone that she wouldn't look at his door If he
would promise to make his wife keep the peace towards
her This they mutually agreed to do The magistrate
told them to and on leaving the court they appear
ed to be much better tempered towards each other,
having told their grievances thereby letting of the
perabund dance of steam that had been swelling within
them.
