complainant stated that she had gone into the ward
where Mr.. MONEYS is, only to get her pail filed
with water, when Mooney assaulted and came near
ochoking her. The Recorder asked Mooney what
re had to say 10 the charge. Mooney told quite
different story from his fair antagonist. He said
that on the morning in question, he was dressing
IN his house when this woman came into the yard
to get water. He told her then that he had to pay
for water, and that she could not have any. He
had told her this often before, without effect. She
then pretended TO be in passion, and used obscene
language of the worst kind towards him, following
threats up by entering his house aud abusing him
there. la the expressive Lana uage of Mr.. Mooney
himself, "she first fired billet OF wood at me and
then she fired an old boot at me-" Mooney had a
whole army OF witnesses, one Of whom proved
more than Mooney ever thought or dreamed Of and
all of whom confirmed ali he said Mary, unfortu.

therelort,, from the intsnt 10 kill % part of the
charge, but as far as the assault went, the Magis
tTate could not overlook The testimony of very
lea med physician, who deposed that, when he wa
Called in TO McKeOn, he was in danger of dealt
from various wounds, but particularly from hemor
rhsge in the nose. The case was therefore sen
down to the First District Court marked by tbs
Recorder simply " Assault and Battery"
Richard Holloway, again-W atchman Barrett
yesterday made affidavit that this man had assault
sd and threatened him while in the discharge o.
his duty. IL will be remembered by those who take
interest in our police proceedings, that Holloway
was up before Acting Recorder Hale on Monday
and got off little zoo easily, considering that be
had " colt" in his possession. 1t is not likely
that he will fare so well to-day.
