which caused considerable interest was tri
before Alderman Vincent on Thursday eveuii
last.
Mrs. Maggie carroll accused Mr.. Jas. Mel
tire, butcher, tor asssulting her in the Marks
and made complaint before the Alderman WI
issued a warrant for his arrest by officer Sole
mon. The evidence was as follows:
Mrs. Carroll testified that she had purchase
q piece Of meat from Mr.. McIntire for tweni
cents; that after McIutirs had chopped it an
placed 1t in her BASKET, upon examination sh
found thatit was bad OF quality and smelt unde
the kidney, and she wished the money returne
or another piece of meat substituted; that Nj
Mclntire refused to do this, and that she the
placed the meat on his stall, went away an
left it The next Market day she called on MI
Mclntire and again demanded more meat; tina
Mr.. Mclutire called her bad name and tol,
her to clear out; that she then seized some NUT
ton chops aud threw them down; that Mr.. Nc
lntire then went around his stall, seized her
dragged her around, punched her arm SO tina
| 1t acbed all night and she could not sleep b,
also wreuched her basket from her hand anC
placed 1t behind his stall and refused 10 let he
have il; that afterwards she went behind biz
stall and took it away.
Mr.. McIntire summoned as witnesses Messrs
Joseph Richardson, Robert Geary, @, Giuder
Jao. Campbell, James Richardson, John Rich
ardson, Ashley Simpson, James Kerns, ana
Peter Durham, butchers in the market, some Of
whom witnessed one part of the ARRAY and
some another, and their testimony was to the
effect that the meat sold Mrs. Carroll was per-
fectly sweet though damp, and on that account
1t was sold at less price; that Mrs. Carroll
had come up to his stall and abused him; that
she had seiAed piece Of meat and made mo-
tion to throw it at him, and then seized some
chops, when Mr.. McIntire took his chops away
but that he had not used more violence than
necessary to recover his property; that he also
took her basket away from her and placed 1t
behind his stall.
The Alderman said that Mr. McIntire had q
right to use all due force to recover his prop :
erty, but no more force than was necessary for
that object--thst the taking the basket of Mrs.
Carroll and OBTAINING it was not necessary to
recover his property, and was a violence the
law did not justify, but in consideration of the
provocation and the dispute, he fined him only
i've cents, as from the number of witnesses
there would be heavy costs. He also said Mrs.
Carroll was guilty of punishable offence in
taking Mr.. McIntire's property without his
consent.
Letois Lise.-It will be recollected that pre-
vious to the election, a German wandered to
'Manitoo" or "Rosendal" on the Brandy wine :,
and deliberately committed suicide by blowing
his brains out. We have made inquiry re-
specting the deceased, and learn that he was
tor several years citizen OF Wilmington pre-
vious to the outbreak OF the rebelllon-that he
was hard working, industrious man, and was
for long time In the employ of Pussy, Jones
X Co., and that he was a native of Hanover
At the commencement Of the rebellion he es-
poused the cause OF the government and en-
Hated in mi nj ha nala e.,
three months, with which he served honorably
after which he joined a Pennsylvania regi-
ment ard conducted himself with integrity and
bravery throughout the war, receiving several
wounds In defence of his adopted country. He
was in principle Republican and at the time
OF his decease, paper was found in one of his
pockets with the signatures Of many Of his
German friends pledgiug their votes to eustain
the true aud tried friend OF the soldier, James
Riddle, for the Gubernatorial chair. Sudden
and unexpected want of means, it is said,
caused him 10 commit this rash and terrible
act. He leaves wife in this city with no chill
dren.
