On sieesninelY car anoemance. "Jack " did all in his
ffiewer to make his friends happy and comfortable, and be
may rest assured his efforts were not in rain. The only
drawback was the weather, which was boisharoua, to a
degree which made the journey to and from the ship •
tad. uncomfortable, at any rate to throe who were conveyed
In the roaring boats; but those who had the privilege of
being conveyed in the steam launches and pinnaces had
nothing whatever to complain of, and the journey was
very pleasant. On board to. wind was not felt in the
slighted degree, the whole of the deck Wog covered in

evidence adduced that the prisoner on the day in question
was working for the prosecutor, and in consequence of
certain misconduct he was discharged. The neat morning
the flagon and fork were mimed —P.C. Hann on march-
ing the Louse of the prisoner's fatber found the stolen
flagon nod fork, and on charging the prisoner with the
offence, he admitted taking the flagon but not du fork.—
The Bench said there was not the least doubt but what
the ',neater stole the flagon and fork, sad eentemod him
to Her Majesty's Priam at Dor almoner for one calendar
month, with hard labour.
