Hairy Slick's', 25, painter, was charged with obtain-
ing by false pretenses from Charles J. T. liambro, Beg.,
M.P. for Weymouth, the sum of 25., with intent to
defraud him of the .&1110. at Milton Abuse, on January
3, 1870. Mr. W. Ffooks prosecuted, and styled the
obtaining by false pretences s meet impudent one.
C. J. 'l'. Hambro, Esq., ILP. for Weymouth, Meted
that on January 3, it Milton Abbas, prisoner earn. to
him and told hint he was tbe son of Charles Pride, of
Milborne. Witness said be waa not acquainted with
him, but if he lived In the neighbourhood some of his

Michel's, who was away frera home. Witness gave
him 2a, and s.id if he wee the son of Charles Pride,
and required it, he would give him is..
The prisoner rather impudently oromezamined Mr.
Hambro, and contredieted him, saying that he said be
would give him a sovereign. Mr. Hambro stated that
be said he would leave word with his agent to give
him a sovereign, as he was guidons he Mould go down

The prisoner said he had no work, and he could not
see his wife and family starve, and be did not want to
go into Blandford union.
The Judge said that was • question with which the
jury at all events had nothing to Jo. The question was

state_mnt that he sag the eon of Charles Pride'
The Jury found prisoner guilty, and a previous con-
vietion at Salisbury was proved.
The Judge said the gravity of prisoner's offence did
not depend upon the amount of money he hed obtained
hut upon the grievous consequence of such offences.
Such Men as he poisoned the sources of charity, for the
charitable were compelled to hold thqir hand lest they
should be giving to andeserving persons. He had
received three month.' imprisonment for a similar
off. nce, and the Judge besides knew that he had
mffeted one month's imprisonment for deserting that
wife and family for who.e sake he hypocritioally said he
had committed the offence. He therefore knew
what port of man he was, and would sentence him to n
heavier punishment than would otherwise have bsa
the caw—Twelve months' imprisonment with bard
labour.

She saw Roberta and said "You hays done • pretty

When she bad mentioned Green's name Roberts said
" Yes. I have given him • good warmiug." Dagdalie

One wound on the left side was more severe then the

what authority he had for taking the nets, when
Green said that if he would give up the note be would
not summon him. Prisoner said That is how you
set your living," and ref used to give them up. Green

guilty of wounding with an attempt to do bodily harm.
The Judge said the prisoner at the bar had bee•
convicted on the most convincing evidence of • moot
ferocious assault upon a man who, as far as he (the
Judge) could see, was doing no more the* his duty.
However that might be, the snook warn of the most
desperate kind, and prisoner was fortunate in that the
jury had taken a Leant view of the case. It wen
