Confusion of Tongues.
--Three matrons, named Mrs. White, Catherine Doyle, and Catherine Sommers, made their appearance at the Mayor's Court yesterday, to answer a charge of assaulting and beating one Michael Sullivan.
The complainant told a long story of his wrongs, in which nothing appeared to convict the women of any special offence.--This part, Mr. Sullivan said, would be related by his wife, who couldn't spake a word of English.
Here Mrs. Sommers interrupted-- "She can spake English English.
Here Mrs. Sommers interrupted-- "She can spake English enough while she's in the brick row, but plays dummy afore his lordship." An interpreter having been found, Mrs. Sullivan testified in Irish, and her words, being translated, set forth a very bad state of feeling between the families occupying the "brick row." After a patient hearing of the evidence, a deafening gabble among the women, and shrieks and groans from Mrs. White, the Mayor determined to continue the case until to day.
