UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.  At the Salford Police Court, before Mr. W. W. Gotilden and Mr. F. Moss, on Tuesday, Peter Thomas Hanel-item, Ellor-street, Salford, a traveller for a firm of engineers and machinists, was charged with having violently assaulted his wife. Before any evidence had been given the prisoner exclaimed, in an excited manner, that the proeecutrix was not his wife. The latter contradicted this statement, and proceeded to state that about four o'clock on Sunday morning, after "raving" about something, the erisouer kicked her out of bed, and forced her half dressed into the street. She vrent to a neighbour's house, where she had previously gone for shelter from her husband's violence tin Monday night the prisouer sent to her, askiug her to return home; and she did so te company with a neighbour, who intended toast, as a peacemaker. The proeecutrix had not, however, been in her house long before the prisoner jumped up from a chair, struck his wife on the chest, knocking her down, hit her between the eyes, and kicked her as she lay on the doer. He also turned the woman who had come to make peace out of the house. Sonic neighbours resened the priteecutrix by dragging her into the street through a window. The prisoner hail constantly abused the prnsecutrix niece his marriage with her, had threatened to cause her to be murdered, had twice broken up their furniture with a hammer, and had turned her out ef doors several butes. They were married 12 utouths ago at St. Thomas's Church, Wigan; but the prisoner had beetled his wife's " marriage lines," arid declared they were not married. In reply to the magietrates, he now admitted that the prosecutrix was Iris wife, but alleged that before their marriage she told him that her age was 37, and after the ceremony lie found it was 54. (Laughter) Mr: Goulden remarked that, even if this were true, it would not justify the prisoner in ili-treating her. The pristmer said his wife had been guilty of infidelity to him. Mr. Goulden remarked that the ease was a very aggravated one; but, in order to give the prisoner another chance of behaving himself properly, they would not send him to gaol, but only fine him 5 and coats.
