Mr. Perry that the assault was commit as d his face was wietly set forth in the information, a besmeared with a ‘substance. ‘Mr. Miller, for Selcnaant, did not deny = assault, but claimed that the accused at time was under an insane delusion,and was therefore not responsible. Dr. O. M. Muacaster testified that on the Ist of July the defendant came to his office on New York avenne, near 14th street, and struck an with a cane about the ear, and was ine throat, when he-discovered who it was. ne je assault, as he considered, and he thought ¢ Gefendant must mere been ee Ler posit ne ap- peared to ery angry, under great ex- — vad not seen him for about: eee ths before, when witness treated him for about four months for a throat affection. Lettie Hammond, colored, testified that she attended the door and admitted defendant. and descril the assault. On cross-examination she said that Mr. Patch appeaped to be like any other man, but when he went in the office ‘he jum right on the doctor; €id not hear either of them speak. Peter Wood, pany in Georeetewi.. testified that he walked out with Mr. Patch that morn- ng to the Ebbitt House and he was somewhat excited, but no allusion was made to any dim- culty or intention to commit an assault. Jobn Patch, brother of defendant, testified that defendant was married first in 1859, bein then 2 or 21 years of age, and there was a di! cuity with his wife, whom he aecused of alui- fery aud from whom he obtained a divorce. He shot a young man, whom he supposed had been committing: adultery with his wife. He was for a long time melancholy over ey affair. Of late years he has been much opposed to a phys- iclan touching his wife, and ne. as for 10 years sald frequently, “It’s a di we to the 19th ior male physicians to attend females” ‘will never allow any one to attend my Knows that he wrote a book or pam- niet on the subject. The title was something ike “Medical Prostitution or Female Physicians tor Females.” Defendant was born in 1840 and came here in 1852. Mr. Wood recalled for defence:—Mr.j Patch is witness’ brother-in-law, and knows that he 1s a littte off on doctors attending his wife, having a Monomania on the subject. He was fre- quently talking on it, and he became much ex- cited on it, So much so that they sent for Apbyst clan to ascertain what was the matter wit! He said that Dr. Muncaser had come there to see his wife without he sending for him, and he did not think that any woman who would allow amale doctor in the rooin in the absence of her husband was any better than a prostitute. His wife was very fll at the timeof the visit, and whenever Dr. M’s name was mentioned he be- came very much excited. A deposition was read from Dr, Louis Mack- all, to the effect that he regarded Mr. Patch as having had an Insane impulse on the ‘subject of Dr. Muncaster's attending his wife. The defendant was then celled to the stand, stifled that he had resided In the city man having committed adultery with his wife, hat he met Pr. Muncaster in Jan- , Who prescribed for him. and he after- wards cent for Dr. M. to see his. wife, and atver one or two vislis Dr. M. said bis wife was ail right, and he supposed that he would not come again; but on returning home a few nights af- terwards he was surprised to fin Dr. Muncas- ter and Mrs. Porter in his wife’s room, and learning that he had placed his hands dn his wife's person his troubles commenced, and it was because of his action he made the assault. W. H. May testified that he had known de- fendant for years, and ordinarily he {s an intel- lgent, shrewed business man, but he appeared to have a deluston as to one peint—male physi- clans for females. Further testimony was heard, and Mr. Perry said the only question left in the case was as {0 the sanity of the — and the burden of proof rested on the cpa Mr. Miller proceeded to argue thls polnt. ‘The Contempt of Court Case.

Isaac Teeney, the'colored por- ter at the store, testified that he saw the young lady take the gloves from a case and put them into her pocket yesterday morning. Charles Anderson, a small colored boy, testified that Miss Nixon sent him to her coat for some change and he found the gloves there in her pocket. Miss Nixon took the stand and testified that she is the head clerk and has been in the employ of Mr. Lisner and his brother for about eight years, ‘and that she and the he porter have not been on very yy terms, as she has had to report him to Mr. Lisner for neglecting his duty. She positively denied having any knowledge of the gloves being in her pocket. ‘The court said that there was no evidence of a larceny, but re- marked that it was more likely that the porter put the gloves in her pocket, and he would dis- miss the case.

Of the allegations contained in the bill of complaint that the canal had been used as a political ma- chine Gen.

Wak ON THE SPARROWS.—English sparrows are becoming a great nuisance, and citizens are complaining of them atly. They drive all the singing birds away that feed on the trult- destroying worms and insects, and feed them- selves on the very fruit buds that the other birds protect. While the ground was covered with snow a short time ago, one gentleman living in the first ward had five choice pear trees stripped of their buds by these birds, The boys will be delighted to know that the Alex- andria Game Protective association, with a view to thinning out the breed, has’ offered a reward of $1.50 per hundred for the heads of the birds complained of.
