How VAGIWITB OCT CLOTHED. Three vagrant
pauper', named John Stevens, John Tully, and James
Smile, were brought before the borouqh magistrates
on Tuesday, and irentenewd to one month a bard labour
each for breaking up their clothes iii the Poole 111110 h
on the preceding °selling in order that the 'neater
might be compelled to re-clothe them. Mr. Clarke.
the master of the Poole Union, describes it as • common
practice now adopted by vagrants, if they have any
article of clothing the worse for wear, to cut it up
within the workhouse, in order to get it replotted.
Undeterred by the example made of these offenders, on
Wednesday night two other vagrant panpeis destroyed
their clothe., and warrants were procured for their
appearance at the petty sessions to nr.swer the charge,
but lit. Clarke appeared without them, and informed
the Bench that, although he had furnithed them with a
coat each instead of those torn up, the men absolutelr
refilled to leave the ward unless be provided them with
• shirt each likewise. The Mayor said the better plan
would he to allow them to remain where they were
until the following morninz, when the Gold would
perhaps bring them to their senses. On Friday they
were both committed for • month.
