At about halfpast eight O'Clock Tuesday night
q woman Of notorious character, who appears at
the Tombs Court now and then in the role OF prs-
oner, went into the lager beer saloon kept by Fer
dinand Genna at No. 43 Mulberry street, and
called for glass Of beer. Genna gave her the
beer and when she had drank it she marched to-
ward the door, saying she had no money to pay
for her drink. Believing what she said be true.
Genna issued from behind the counter and as
sisted the woman into the street. In few minutes
she returned, in company with Onlcer Regan, OF
the Sixth precinct, who said he had come to az
rest the proprietor for assault and battery. Genna
was behind the bar cutting bread, and as he does
not understand English he did not pay particular
attention to what the Olflcer SAID until he came
up to hlm and attempted to drag hlm out. Gennas
wife ran to his assistance and the officer grabbed
her and dragged her and her husband Off to the
station house. In the station house a charge OF

her beer. In the meantime the store and It's busi-

ollicer with having boasted tnat he would send the
prisoner TO the Island somehow or other, and he
did not deny 1t.
Judge Fammer thought what was called "the

officer, who, by the way, win not have the pleasure
OF seeing the Italian go to the Island, as his fine
was paid last night and he Is to be released this
