TRUE.— Wilhelm Kraus, a German shoemaker, about 40 years of age, and dwelling with his children at No, 6, Plummer'srow, Mile-end Old-town, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with assaulting Elizabeth Holmes, a married woman, of Grove-cottage, Shacklewell. The prisoner was arrested last night.  The complainant, a most respectable and lady-like female, who was much agitated sad trembled excessively while giving her evidence, stated that on Tuesday night last, about half-past eight o'clock, she was passing along Greenfield-street, Whitechapel, when the prisoner came up to her, looked very fiercely at her, and walked alongside of her a few yards, and then seized her in his arms and said, " I have got you." She called out " Murder," end said "Leave me alone." A crowd assembled and she appealed to them for assistance. They were all Germans and did not pay any attention to her. The prisoner continued his grasp of her, and pushed and kicked her along the street for a distance of 200 yards. Sherepeatedly said to him "Let me go, if you want my money take it." At last she reached the door of a chandler's shop, and implored of a woman there to relieve her. The woman at first refused, and told her to go away, but ultimate') released and sheltered her. The prisoner then ran away. She was very sore all over, particularly about the chest, from the prisoner's violence. In answer to questions by Mr. Woolrych, the witness said that she allowed the prisoner no familiarities, and did not converse with him about the weather or time of day before he seized her. She never talked to or held communications with strangers, whether.on foot, in a railway car • riage, or in an omnibus. The prisoner, in defeace, said that his wife, who was thirty-eight years of age, left him a few weeks ago, and eloped with a young man. He met the corn plainant in Greenfield-street on Friday night, and mistaking her for his wife, said to her in German, " Dear wife, dear angel, do come home and look at your children, and then you may go again." lie pushed her along, when she resisted, and directly he found out his mistake he left her. He had since made an apology for his conduct, and was , very sorry for what had happened..  Mrs. Holmes was recalled, and said the prisoner only spoke three words to her, and in English, " I've got you." She did not hear him speak in German.  "in home,statu re and For the defence several witnesses were called, who said as he dthees c rpirbiesdo,n earn' sd appearance, was very much like abandonedu th, her, and their wthifaat htande dresses, particularly their shawls, were similar. On Friday night a little girl told the prisoner his wife was in Greenfield-street, and he went there, and seeing the complainant put his arms round her waist, and said to her, in German," My wife, my Louisa, comehome ;" and then led her along the foot-path, but did not kick her or push her. Mrs. Hitchc, ck, who keeps the chandler's shop, referred to in the evidence of Mrs Holmes, said that when she saw the prisoner struggling with the complainant at her door, she refused to interfere, believing she was his wife ; but when Mrs. Holmes exclaimed, " I don't know the fellow," witness said to Kraus, " You have made a mistake. Go about your business." _ . _  Mr. Woolrych said the complainant was not 38 or any thing like it, and was a respectable woman who had con'ducted herself with great propriety. lie believed a mistake had been committed by the prisoner. It was a great blunder, but he did nit think the prisoner intended to hurt the complainant. Re dismissed the case.
