A man was seen suddenly to seize a woman, jnmp into a cu amid her screams aud resistance, attempted to drive off with her, w she was “gallantly” rescued from the deiainiug arms and foot by a number of men, headed by a young disciple of Black- stone, who seized and liberated her without a writ of habeas corpus. The facts, suppressing the names, are briefly these: About three months ago a gey and festive widower became desperately smitten with a blooming damsel, ussion being reciprocal (just then.) orch ef Hymen was apphed in a secret Tunaway mate The wrathful -parient” found out about ade, and, after four hours’ wedded bliss. the wife was torn from his besom; the jather threatened that he ould not “come down with the dust” when ook of this mortal coil,” but would cut her off with a shilling. After fruitless efforts to gain possessior. of his lost treasure, on Saturday last the disconsolate husband met her éh Front street, seized her, and jemped into his entter, and endeavored to hold her down by sticking his foot through her crino- line. While one of bis arms was engaged in holding ber, she gained possession of one rein, and, notwithstanding the horse was a 2.40 nag, what could be expected from him with such driving! So, with the screams of the woman, accompanied witb the jingle of the bells, he om gressed slowly through the streets, as if he ad business on boch sides; and tinally the »p- peal, “Men, will you see a woman abused !” brought assistance to the fair one’s side. Her Co cries of “I want to go home to pa” ad no effect on the obdurate heart of her late lord and master, who claimed her body as his own. We believe the matter will be the sub- Ject of an action of Iaw, and we suppose the gallant young lawyer will have the case to conduct: at least, he onghtto.
