Beating a Woman.

--James Elmore was arraigned before the Mayor yesterday for being drunk, disorderly, resisting arrest, and beating Mrs. Belia McCarthy. Mrs. Frances McGee and a policeman testified to the facts, which proved great cruelty on the part of Elmore: and Mrs. McGee also stated that she "wanted that Elmore and her sister, Mrs. McCarthy, should be separated." The Mayor said he had no authority to separate man and wife, and required security in the sum of five hundred dollars to keep the peace for twelve months.
