LOCAL MATTERS.


Womon's Lore.-An instance Of the strong
atfachmentof woman occurred at the Mayor
Court yesterday. man named Merriwether
Roach was arrested and Gagged nv officer
Chalkley Oh Sunday last, for being drunk aud
disordcrly on the Canal bank. and beating his
wife. When the case was called on Monday
Mrs. X. failed to answer, and the inyesti-
cation was continued. Yesterday morning
she was brought into Court, and after being G
sworn, stated that her husband was a little
noisy, and that because of the complaint of
the neighbors he had been arrested. When
asked IL he had not beaten her, she answered
after some hesitation, that he had given her q
few blows with a strap but added imme-
oIateIy that he was drunk at the time or he
would NOT have acted So The Mayor, after
nearing he evidence, decided that he should
commit the prisoner in default of bail
Scarcely had tie sentence been pronounced
when the devoted wife imploringly beseeched
ms Honor not to imprson him that time-to
spare him for the sake of his children-and to
give him one more chance 10 reform She
could not bear TO see him sent to JAIL and felt
sure that he would get drunk no more. The
prisoner solemn!y vowed that he would drink
no more, and the poor wife exhibited so much
anxiety for him, that the Mayor let him off
II he does not keep his promise, and cherish
and protect his wife in the future, he deserves
to live and die in lail
