laat night P.C. Morris was on duty in Bond-street,
and, hearing a noise at the White Hart, he went
there and found Parton coming out with his hands all
over blood, and he was shouting loudly. Having

where he came quietly.—Mrs. Robins, of the White
Hart, was sworn, and, being asked if she was the wife
of the landlord, said she actually was the manager
herself.—Mr. Loden: But the license is in your
husband's name; we most consider him the landlord.
—Mee. Robius continued that Parton lodged at her
house and last night. after being a.bed two hours, he
calla out and asked to be let out. She could not get
ready immediately, but went to do so, and before she
could dress Parton put hia hand through the glass in
the bar door, and swore that if they did not let him
out he'd murder the lot of them. Parton's man had
been there for a day or two, and, although prisoner
had not paid f..r his board and lodging, he treated
everyone who cane in with wine or spirits, or what
they would have to dri ik, until she remonstrated,
reminding him she hadn't been paid yet, when

" Can Igo now? lam your King. These soldiers are
all mine now ; I have to pay for thecn."—Being pre-
vented from leaving the dock, he tune I to the
msgistrates, saying " You have made a mistake, a
great mietake."—Mrs. Robins, being asked as to the
price of her glass, supposed thick glass like that would
cost 5.. but she hadn't estimated it; she'd leave it to
the Bench ; but she was informed it was nit for the
Bench, but for her, to set a value on her property.—
