F Ellen Haxal was brough, before his Honor,
the Mayor, yesterday morning, charged with being
concerned in a regular fight and annoying the
neighborhood generally. She belonged to house
of i'll fame, somewhere on 3rd street. between Mar.
shall and Broad.
Mr. VIM. H. Woodward testified that he saw her
issue from the house in question, (Which is next

screaming, and when he looked out, saw Ellen in
Mr. Woodward's yard, almost naked, having moth
ing ON but the remnants of frock, which was dis
arranged and dragging on the ground behind her,
and the blood streaming from her face. On en-
curing at the house in question, which 10 kept by

beaten by her, for some offence, and SO had rushed
forth upon sudden in the state of disha5iue which
we have described. The merits OF the dispute did
not appear, but Miss Ellen Yves required to find
sureties to keep the peace for l2 months, or be
committed. The security had not been given when
