Mayhew, a Bow Street Of f icer, met the prisoner in the same street, with the I ird chest on his shoulder, and, fancying lie did not carry it like a regular porter, he stopped him, and asked where he was going with kis load r He replied, with great sang froid, " only to the next grocer's shop here ?" pointing to one a few doors of; Mayhew, however, stock close to him, and he then threw down the cheat and endeavoured to get away, but was secured.

He stated that he was in timidity of the prosecutor before the /ay just now at the bar came in, and lie saw her take the bacon and pay for it. He did nut know who took up the money, but sure lie was that she paid it. The prosecutor being asked whether lie saw the witness in his shop, said he had never seen liiin in his life. l'he Recorder told the Irishman that no one would be lieve Min, and that he had better pi about his business. The Irishman said lie came there to speak the truth, and nothing but the troth. The Recorder.—lf you don't go about your business, I shall have you prosecuted for perjury.
