The Green Eyed Monster.

Melbourne, June 13.— A desperate fight took place at the Miners’ Arms Hotel, Castlemaine, on Tuesday evening. It appears that Richard Jennings, the licensee, had become frantically jealous of his wife, On Tuesday evening a young man named Henry Brown, of Fryerstown, paid for a bed at the hotel, and something occurred between Jennings and his wife, the former threatening to kill her, which caused Jennings to put Brown out of the bouse. During the night Jennings found that Brown had been accommodated with a bed in the bar. Jennings went in and locked the door, and a pitched battle ensued between the men, and before it could be stopped the bar was a mass of broken bottles, mirrors, decanters, and glasses, while the men themselves were complete wrecks. Brown, who is a married mm, was taken home in a cab, and will not be able to show out fora week or two; while Jennings, who was victorious, had his nose damaged and was also terribly cut. Jennings was charged at the local police court to-day with threaten, ing the life of his wife. The case was remanded.
