The Extraordinary Charge Against a Mistress.

For the third time Leeds Magis trates, and a packed crowd of onlooker! beard evidence on April Ist against) Mrs Peek, a Leed's colliery ftgent'f wife, whose late servant Marget Myers* accuses her of a variety of pmeltiet, including the smashing and extraction of nine of her teeth, with the aid of pincers and a hammer—-measures said to be taken as discipline again it the negleotfulnflsp and other trivial and domestic offences. The prosecution sought to streng then the girl's cage* by medical and dental evidence, Dr Johnson, of Lon don, said he found Myers 1 right cheek swollen and discoloured, and the right ear was red and inflamed, and there were two'small wounds on each ear. The jaw looked as though it had been violently struck. Beneath each eye was a red scar; Both eyes were blood* shot. There were braises m the arm pit. Nine teeth were missing, and the pincers produced m Court might have loosened the teeth. Subsequently he found no symptoms of hysteria. A cast of the girl's mouth was carefully examined by the Magistrates. l)r Bowe corroborated Dr Johnson, saying it was quite possible with the hammer produced to break out the teeth. Dr Ohadwick, of t,he Leeds Infirm ary, said be found marks on the girl on March 2, and discovered no traces of organic disease, tie agreed m the main with the two previous witnesses. He found no trace of hysteria. The defence was that the story of I the girl was utterly unfounded and utterly unreliable, and that for nine months she made no complaint to any* body. Ifc was a case of hysteria. Mr Bhepberd, for the defence, cal led aa his first witness Alice Fullerton, who was nuree-housemftid at Mrs Pfcks during the time that the complainant was m service there. Fullerton is still living at Mrs Feck's, and it was alleged m support of the charge that she had assisted Mrs Peck m the alleged cruelty ' —knocking out some of the complain ant's teeth. She eaid she had been two yeara last August m service at Mrs Peck's. The wirneßH had not got on wpl! with the complainant, because the latter wished to be master. Tho com plainant frequently screamed when vexed, saying on one occasion she was doing it for fun. She had struck the witness ia the mouth, knocking out two teeth and loosening two others, which had to be extracted. She told the complainant she would give her something for having knocked out her teeth, and accordingly she banged her head against the wall (Laughter,) She had nevpr seen Mrs Peck strike the complainant, and Mrs Peck had never touched her (witness,) It was not true that Mrs Peck had said, about Whitsuntide. *We will have ago at Myers teeth.' Mrs Peck had not called the witness and the com. plainant upstairs together, nor had fehe handed the witness a pair of pincers, saying,B Now yon can begin.' Myers suffered from toothache, and had asked the witness to pull opt two of her teeth which were quite loose and could easily be drawn. The witness refused at first but eventually consented, and took the teeth out with the pincers produced. She could not remember whether they were upper or lower teeth. Crossed examined by Mr Hatton, the witness said Myers liked having her teeth taken out with the pincers. (Laughter ) The defendant was next examined. She gave a categorical denial to com plainant's charges. The night before the complainant left she placed a buc ket of red hot coals on the floor of one of the rooms, with, the defendant al leged, the idea of setting the house on fire. The complainant was hysterical. The case was again adjourned.
