The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1854-08-10


ed before justice In Baltimore on Monday, on a,
charge of hitting her husband over.the head with
stick, whilst he was asleep In bed. When interro-
gated as to the reason of her conduct she answer
ed that abe only hit him because she loved him. In
the Faderland, she said, it was the custom when
one wanted to show that they loved another, they
generally struck the object of their regerd and the
strength of the blow showed the strength of their
friendly feelings. The Justice, however, not liking
such striking manifestations of love, and being
backed by the wounded husband, committed her to
jail.
