charging him with having beaten her
last night. The summons was issued
this morning at the Essex Market
Court by Justice Simms, who gave tn.
woman strict orders TO serve the paper
herself. She followed his directions and
was nearly killed for her pains. And
upon this hinge turns a strange story
which serves to show the workings OF
an east-side political coterie.

before returned and begged to be take
in as partner. The woman says she
feared to give her husband half shar'
n the business because. she claims. h,
was n habtual gambler.
However. she told him he could make
his home with her. and she would not
| let him want for anything. He had not
been installed long in her home and
| affections. she says. when he insisted
| on putting his name on the show-win-
dow and In other respects exercising
rights of ownership. After that he
| carried matters with such n high hand
| she says, that she was compelled to
sue him. and by some hocus-pocus which
she says he practised the Court was
deceived and Judgment was rendered
whereby she found herself only joint
