COIIIIIIOI3. Those complaints were made in 1856, and also in April last. When he saw them in April last they were in a shocking state from disease. He saw one of the sheep without an ear, which had fallen off from disease, and the other ear was merely hanging by a piece of skin. Some of the feet of the sheep were rotten, and they could scarcely walk. The board had complained to the defendant on several occa,stens, but no notice had been taken, with the exception that they were removed from one common to another.  Prisoner—Why, ono day that boy told me not to go to his home, for if I did he wouldn't have me there.  Witness—No, father. You came in one day and going to the cupboard you took some of our bread, which was little enough for us four, and I told you if you couldn't bring us any money you had better keep away. That was all. The Lord Mayor--And very proper too, when you wanted to live on his small earning,. You are one of the greatest brutes for a father that ever came before me. It is plainly proved that you have neglected your children, and I shall send you to hard labour for a month. If you ever come here for the same thing again I shall send you for three. Elizabeth Ohamberg, a respectably dressed middle-aged female, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and wilfully breaking a square of glass, value 255., and also with attempting to commit suicide in a cell at the police station. It appeared from the evidence that on Monday evening the prisoner and two other women went to  Mr. James Clousely, veterinary surgeon, of Parkroad, Clapham, Mr. John Donough, the medical officer of health for Clapham, and Mr. William Curtis, a butcher, of Clapham, gave similar evidence of the diseased state of the sheep. The medical officer stated that they were in a deplorable state, apparently starved, and covered with scars and sores.  Edmund Knight, the officer of the Clapham Branch of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said that the secretary had complained to Mr. Martin of the shocking state of the sheep some time during last year. The defendant denied that any of his sheep were in a diseased state, or that he had lost any of his flock. This proceeding was taken at the instigation of the butchers who wished him not to turn his sheep upon the common. He took the sheep away on Saturday when they were complained of. The defendant's shepherd was then called, and admitted that the sheep were diseased, but not more so than other persons', and said they would not harm anybody. Mr. Ingham said he could not conceive a worse case, and as the defendant had repeated the act after frequent warnings he should fine him the full penalty of 101. and costs. The money was paid.  the [labia Hood public-house, Skinner-street, Bishopsgate, where, after they had stayed drinking for some considerable time, they got fighting in parlour. They were, however, turned out of that room, but immediately afterwards "stripped," and turned to, for a second time, iii the bar, to the great annoyance of the landlady and customers, until at last they were put into the street. They then began creating an uproar outside, and the prisoner, walking up to the door, deliberately put her fist through a square of glass value 255. She was then given into custody, being quite drunk and conveyed to the Bishopsgate-street police-station from which she was removed shorty after to the M or-lane station, where about "'in.,: o'clock, police conitable 150, on visiting her in her cell, found her nearly strangled by a piece of tape, which was twisted and tied so tightly round her neck, that it was oily by the aid of his wife, whom he called to his assistance, he was able to cut it off, and only after some considerable trouble, and the liberal application of restorative; they were able to briag her to her senses. The prisoner said she lived in the Hackney-road, and went out on Mind ty morning to receive 100., when she met the two women referred to in the evidence, who asked her to treat thorn, and she took them into the Robin Hood for that purpose. They were c ,mfortable enough so long as her 10s. lasted, but when her money was gone her companions, who she supposed thought she had get more, abused her and struck her, and that was how the row began. As for the window, she was leaning on the door and her elbow went through it accidentally.
