• iselLdrensd and respectable•looking man, named
esweiesd to semeroons, leased at the n-
ein* Of the Feet-odes authorities, charging him with
being deed drunk hile in the discharge of hie duties as a
latteneenter. and" detainiag" 48 letters which had bees
esinntaillto him for deli lathe northern district.
16. Pesecesk, been lie a department, conducted
I the prenentino, and MOW list the defendant had been for
sone time employed es as sesilkey letter-carrier, and up to
the iwesesit Christens bed bens a good chancier. On the
27th of Decemberr, bos, however, be was toned holding on to
a leimpliest le the Ilressbeenvead, toe drunk to walk or
deed, with the oesteate el Ids bag all scattered on the pave-
ment and in the road, and letters tu his pocket which ought
to have been delivered as Obristmas-eve, two days
dm
riously, and which were Is a very crumpled and
state. It was impossible to say if any letters bad been loin,
but such as were left IMO gathered up by the police, who
removed the defendant, in an utterly helpless condition, to
the nearest station-house.

Polioe.oonstable Dowling, D 254, stated that he first saw
the defendant at half-past nine o'clock in the evening, and
supposed at first that he wan sorting his letters "by the
of the lamp-poet." On approaching nearer, however,
be found that the defendant was completely drunk sad in-
capable. Wittier collected his letters, which were lying on
the ground, and, with the assistaoce of another allkaer,
eaa-
veyed the defendant to the station, where the pest-aloe
proprietor afterwards attended, and took poses= of the
letters, fifteen of which were taken from defendant's
trousers pocket, together with a five-thaler note end some
loose change. Witness banded up the Dote.
Defeodant—l picked up the note, not knowing what it
was, in the Regent's-park, and kept Y in my pocket ever
since. With regard to the Wm, I au sorry for
what has happened. I took • drop tos melt en
and forgot that I bad left the Morn letters in my
pocket. I did not pat the same hosiers agate till the
reday, on
end that is bow the delay was meet On
Thursday erring I called to deliver a latter at Mr. Ed-
wards's, • wine merchant, at 62, tfaryleboaecced, and
having no change to give me a Christmas-boa, be_ gm me
a glees of hot Lundy nad.water instead. Ater drinking it
m mess left me, and I remeember nothing more till cep-
returned to me. and I found myself in the police
station. It lea singular fact, and I big to call your wor-
ship's attention to it, that another young man who was
treated to a glom of brandy at the same house, and at the
earns time as a, was brought into the station-house
dinette after me, aLo drunk and incapable.
—Your excuse is most unsatbdackey. You
must know that it is a very serious thing to the public to
delay the delivery of their letters, not only when they re-
late to basins, bat stall more when they may be the means
of seiveying important tidings concerning the illness or
sem the death of relatives or friends.
Defendant (Imploriogly)—Yon know not what I have
suffered. This will be the ruin of ms. Think of my
family.
Kr. Henry—You should have thought of them yourself.
Defendant—lt is the first time 1 have ever been placed in
mesh • position.
Yr. Henry—As you will Ices your situation I may take
that circumstance into eismidepition ; but the penalty is
IlOflsbowini how serierisly the elms* L animated by the
sisil WINS yea tharmillr namely
larasture'd if you do NM pow Shlpsoe new, seism werr.ant will

Defendant—l have no /seas, and no ms of paying the
moneUr.
.
Hssry—Then you win be imprisoned till the penalty
is pail.
reoy to his worship,
Yr. Peacock said he was happy to state that the passed
offices was of very ran 0001Z171100111, and that the Pest-oaks
satliostiim bad been very seldom called upon to avail them-
selves of th power grouted by the set.
