Murphy, mer! a restanrant keeper at the corner of Pennsyl nia avenue and lth street, who, onthe death of bis father, went to live with Mrs. Schrem for his board and clothing. Yesterday the boy went to the police court and swore out a warrant charging her with assault and battery, repre- senting that being destitute, he reminded her of the terms and requested some clothing, when she got into a passion aud cut at him with a knife, and on the advice of friends he applied to the police court. The warrant was given to Officers Hinkle and Longstreet who, in attempt- ing to serve it last evening, met with pretty rough usage from Ann, which caused them to retreat, amd call Officer Madigan to their aid. Finding reinforcements had arrived, Mrs. S. went into a swoon in the yard. The dilemma of a 20 pontuls collapsed woman «id not scare the officers, who procured a night-liner hack, into which she was lifted, and soon arrived at the central guardhouse, and in the evening her hus- band got security, and she was released. This mornin, 55 stated, she was brought be: fore Juige Snell. You urphy appeai with both eyes blacked, andl testified that he was engaged in-cleaning knives when she made an assault with a whip and cut his hand with a carving knife. Last night, after she was re- leased, she went home and made another as- sault on him, giving him two black eves, and afterwards tried to make it up and persuade him not to appear. In defence, Ann said that the boy was saucy toher. The court fined her $10 and costs. ———+ THE POLICE ComMissiongRs met yesterday, and Sergeant John W.
