The officer stated that at a qusrter before ten o'clock last night he saw the defendant driving at a furious rate through Wellington-street, from the direction of Ws orlon Bridge, and on turning the corner of the street in the Sirens' he continued whipping the horse so violently that it was with the greatest difficulty persons passing escaped being seriously injured. Constable 137 A, who was on duty at the English Opera House, assisted in going in pursuit of him, and when they overtook him at St. Mary-le-Strand, he struck at them repeatedly in such a violent manner with his whip that it was with much struggling they secured him and conveyed the vehicle to the Green-yard. The defendant said the horse was " fresh" in consequence of not being in harness for some days, and when he felt the whip he sprung off with such rapidity that he was unable, being somewhat fresh himself to pull him. Mr. HALL told him that he had committed three off, noes, each of which deserved a severe punishment, and, instead of calling upon him to pay a penalty, he should go to hard labour in the House of Correction for six weeks. • Ellen Braithwaite, the wife of a waterman, was charged with attempting to commit suicide, by drowning herself in the Thames, off Hungerford wharf. Censtable Sankey, 82 F, hearing the splash in the water about one o'clock this morning, procured the in of a waterman, anti the defendant was with difficulty brought ashore, and being conveyed to the station-house, she was instantly sent to St. Martin's workhouse, where her clothes were dried, and restoratives given to her. She had been quarrelling with her husband about an hour previous, and had been only yesterday charged with the same offence, but upon promising not to repeat it she was discharged. The defendant said her husband spent all his earnings in treating other women to drink, while he left her and her children at home in a state of starvation, which preyed upon her so much that she was driven to commit the rash act for. which she was charged. Mr. HALL said the more prudent COUrSe for her to pursue would be to apply to the parish authorities of S% Martin's, from whom she would readily meet with redress ; and if her il husband l-treated her at any future time, she could come to the Court and a warrant would be issued against him. The defendant promised to act as she was directed, and she was ordered tube discharged.
