Corhiding a Nan.--Mrs. Giovanni Devote
was summoned before the Mayor yesterday for
cowhidnt Juan Luce in the street. The com
plainant testified that she had performed the
operation in most powerful and convincing
manner, and proposed TO show the evidence
which was declined by the Mayor. Il
appeared that the dispute between them
had arisen about the ownership Of some
barrels Of smoking tobacco, during which
Luce had called Mrs. Devote some outrageous
names, and applied Q. tibet to her, which
she answered by applying cowskin. The
Mayor said he could approve Of the acts Of
neither of the parties; it was certainly not
right for the woman to use the weapon or the
man 10 provoke her 10 do it. The account be
ing about equally balanced, he would dismiss
the case, leaving the ownership Of the tobacco
to be determined in another mode.
