--47.111BbRA.—PAISTING • P•IIPSIt. —A gm/A II
piece of merriment was nausea in this town a few
days back, by the odd appear-ince of a pauper
vagrant turned out of the union. On the rd of
Wet month, • poor wretched 10-king vagrant was
admitted into the Winthorne union for a night's
lodging. Has clothing being very bad, and full of
vermin. in the night he tore it up. He told the
master be did it Immure it was in that state, and
Baked the master kind‘y to give him Nome more to
put on. The master then brought the poor fellow
an old pair of coarse dork cloth trousers, patched in
nurnberlem I.lsors with white patches, sod an old
white cord jacket. I.'he roaster net being satisfied
with *ending the poor fellow if with therms odd
things, painted both the jacket and troweers in
varims places with r•-d p • lot, the words, o
borne and erauleirn. Ut. n." This irritated the
poor vagrant and he ',fused to put the clothing on.
fhe muter then mtnt for a lai!ig„,..”, wi,„ came,
and after a time the c tithing was forced on by wane
of the inmate. of the onion ; he was tit. n turned into
the street, looking like a Merry Andrew, making
sport for all puso.rs t,v. In his rage he made an
attempt to brm k the Union windows, and then threw
• stone at the bead of the master, who refused to
give the man in charge, ashamed, no doubt, to ses
him before the magistrates in such a dress. The
man than hewn taking off the clothes in the street,
winch the policeman prevented him from doing and
Cede him to the station, supplied him with some
better clothiog, gave him some food and saw him
out of the town. The man, however, retraced 64
steps, apparently to have revenge on the master, and
went back to the union and smashed in the
window.. He then rani off, the master giving him
obese for more than a mile before catching him. He
was, subsequently, taken before • magistrate and
committed for one month for breaking the windows.
