tai gognigurirese OF BILIAILING rllBOl ISCULATIONs.
Litre Raymond, adashiogdooking young woman, whom
husband was recently an ensign in the Ceps Mounted Rides,
was brought up before Sir K. W. Carden, charged with
smuggling spirits into Whitecross-street prison, in contra-
vention of the regulations.
The evidence of Mrs. Constable, the wife of the ',oversee
of the prison, and one of the warders, was to the effect that
the prisoner, whose husband was received in the prison only
the day previous, went to visit him, and took with her a pint
bottle of whiskey, which she concealed most ingeniously
beneath her clothing, and it would doubtless have
escaped detection, bad it not been the invariable practice
not only to question every visitor but to search them also
before admitting them to the prison. In the present in-
stance the prisoner on being questioned denied that she bad
any spirit'.
Sir R. W. Carden—What have you to say to the charge?
Prisoner (whose manner throughout was a strange mix-
tare of simplicity and bravado) -I did it.
Sir B. W. Carden—We know you did it, but why cid you
do it ?
Prisoner—l took it to my husband, because I thought it
wan 110061 MU.
Sir R.W. (Ns/dem—ls he, then, in the habit of so drinking
that be mold not go one day without?
Prisoner—Not at all. He could have gone without for a
week or a month if necessary, but I thought some whiskey
would comfort him, and my good nature and generosity in-
&seed me to take it to him. I thought it was necessary.
The warder—l think he would have been better without it,
as he was half muddled with drink when be was brought in.
Sir R. W. Carden—You surely knew you were doing
wrong
Prisoner—l had been told it was improper to take spirits
into the prinoe, but I did not know it was so very wrong.
Sir R. W. Carden—But when you were eked if you bad
any spiiitslyou said, " No." You told a lie.
Prisoner —Did you never say " Nor
Sir R. W. Carden—l am not here to answer questions,
end I must say from your conduct before me that I Dever
',Unwed so much bravado in anyone placed in your poi-
ton. You treat the whole matter with the greatest non-
challuice, without even offering any excuse for committing
a very serious offence.
Prisoner—l have made no excuse.
Sir R. W. Carden—No you have not. What encase have
you offered
Prisoner—Why, I said I had done it.
Sir R. W. Carden—You are certainly a very impu-
dent woman, and if you have no other defence to make
I must punish you. I could line you 201. or send you to
prison for three months.
Prisoner—Very well.
Sir R. W. Carden—lt is fortunate for you that another
act of parliament given me power to mitigate th►t penalty.
I therefore fine you 20e., or in default seven days' inipn'
moment.
__

Prisoner—N ery well, air.
Sir R. W. Carden—And let me inform you that, unless
the Ms* be paid before the rising of the viitirt, you will
have to undergo the alternative term of imprisonment, As
we have no power to reduce the fine when once you are
committed in default.
The prisoner, who averred to think this also " vay
well," wee then locked up in default.
