CAtries Powell, 24. militiamen, was indicted for stealing
from the person of Edward Edwards a handkerchief, and
other articles, his property.
About twelve o'clock on the night of the 27th ult., the
pretend e, who resides at 17, Wellington•roed, Stoke New•
iogton, was walking down the L .wer-road, Islington,
when the prisoner aceeeted him, and began complaining
that he had no moiety to treat himself to drink with. He
said he was only allowed Bd. a day aad a loaf, and asked
weeseeator to pay for a drop of something to drink, which
M did. The prisoner said he was so tar from his billet,
latish was at Hampstead, that he should walk about all
sight, and at two places the precentor treated him to rum.'
As they ware walking slang, the prosecutor saw him take
his handkerchief tram his coat pocket and put it in his
owa, but he said nothing, and still walked on conversing
until be saw a policeman, and then he gave him in charge.
He then found that the prisoner had also taken his
tobacco pouch, and both that and the handkerchief were
fated noon his. Prisoner said be picked them up. Oaths
way to the station he placed his bawd on his bayonet, and
was in the act of drawing it when the prosecutor laid hold
of the scabbard and p ted him from getting it out.
Another constable come up, end his hand was than further
secured.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Mr. Witham, in reference to the prisoner's endeavour to
draw his bayonet, said, some few years ago there was a great
noise made about the bayonet nos sense, as it was called, of
the eased, end other regiments being allowed to wear their'
their side acme when about the streets. and eventually it
was pot a stop te. Now, it was really abominable that a lot
of undisciplined militiamen should be allowed to go about
with their bayonets at their side ready, as in this cm-, to
use them if they got into difficulty, and he hoped the atten-
tion of the authorities would be called to the matter, so that
a stop might be put to what certainly was a most dangerous
practice.
The prisoner was sentenced to air months' imprisonment
with hard labour.
