(Before Mr. RAFFLES.)
TOM SAYERS' REPRESENTATIVE.
A large and
powerfully-made man, who gave the name of
Ireland Lowe, "gentleman," was charged by Police-offieer
826, who said---I got him lying drunk on the flags and raised
him up, when he put his leg under mine and threw me down.
I asked him why he did so, and he replied, " I want to give
you, a Tom Sayers' touch." The officer, not relishing such
touches, touched hint off to the station. The prisoner refired
to say anything in reply to the charge, and he was ordered to
pay a fine of 10s. and costs for the assault, or fourteen days'

THE COOK AND HER SWEETHEART.
A young woman named Elizabeth Hays, a housemaid in the
service of Mr. Stewart, 11, Ruskisson-street, was charged
under the following circumstances. Mr. Cobb appeared for
the complainant, and stated the case as follows : He said Air.
Stewart and his family had been the previous night enjoying
the pleasure of Mr. Vousden's performance at the Clayton-hall,
and on their return one of the young ladies went down to the
kitchen, but returned immediately saying there was a man in
the kitchen. Mr. Stewart went down, and saw a man or two
escaping over the back wall. He spoke to the prisoner and
the cook about It, when the prisoner became very saucy. lie
told her to leave the house, and then she became worse, de-
manded her wages, and also an additional month's wages, and
wanted him to find her a lodging for the night, which he
fused to do, and then gave her into custody; but still he did
not wish to punish her. Mr.. Stewart was then examined, and
said he went to the kitchen when he heard there was a man
there. He searched about but could not see anyone. He heard s
noise towards the back door, and went there, when he saw a
man---and he thought he saw two---go out by the back steps,
and escape over the wall. He was rather excited, and said,
perhaps,
what he ought not exactly to have said, when the
prisoner become very impudent, and denied that there was apy•
man in the place, although, after a little, the cook admitted.
that there was a man there, and said he was her cousin. The
prisoner lost her temper and became very saucy, still denying

that there was a man in the house; and he told her to go,

away at once, but she refuses unless she got her wages, and
an additional month, and insisted on his getting her a lodging,
which he refused to do, and then he gave her into custody.
He complained of her having denied that there was a man
there, although the cook admitted it, and begged pardon for it.
However he did not wish to punish her now. The prisoner
said she denied that there was any man with her, but said there
was one with the cook. Tee master called her foul names, and
wanted to turn her out at 11 o'clock at night, without money
in her pocket, and she had no place to go to, not having any
friends in the •town. Mr. Raffles said her conduct was im-
proper in having a man in the kitchen. and then denying tie
fact. However, he would now discharge her.
THE WORCESTERSHIRE " DODGER" AGAIN.
John Hughes, the 'Worcestershire "dodger," who has beer,
before the court several times, and who was tried before the,
Recorder three or four times lately, but managed to get off,
was brought up by a policeman. The prisoner appeared.,
excited, and flung down his old white hat with great energy,
at the same time shaking his dirty-gloved hand with vehemence.

morning, in Dale-street, the prisoner was drunk sind disorderly.

Prisoner : I have to say that he is a d—. liar (striking the bar
violently). and a d-- scoundrel ; I was as sober as I am now.
Mr. Raffles : I cannot tolerate such language as this. You are
a very troublesome fellow, and I wish you'd leave town and go
to your friends, if you have any. Mr. Kehoe : He feigns mad-
ness. If we could get a medical certificate that he is insane,
we could deal with him : but are cannot get such, as its all
assumed by .him. Mr. Raffles : I fine him 5s and costs for •
being drunk and disorderly. Prisoner : Then I'm curst if I
pay it—l'll be d—.o first, and go to gaol for five years before T.

days' imprisonment: The " dodger" was removed, cursing'
