Wm. Pain, who mamma apublic-house in Ninvgate-
street for his father, was surommed for unlawfully causing
to be administered to Therese Kilburn • certain noxious
ooropound, with intent to Wilms or annoy her.
Complainant stated that several days ago she went to the
defendant's house to get the supper beer for her master's
family, when the defendant showed her some saltpetre balls,
and eked her if she liked them. She said she did not, and
he then mid he had some batter than those. He directed
a lad who was there to go upstairs and get some hooey drops
from a drawer. When the lad returned he gays the com-
plainant one of the no-called hooey drops, and told her to
bite it, end the hooey would this melt in her mouth. She
west home and @bowed what she believed to be • hooey
drop to her mistress, who was also deosived as to the real
nature of the thing. She afterwards put it into her month ;
but on biting it • most disgusting and foetid liquid came
from it, the filthy odour of which she had not yet been able
to get rid of. She was very Milk and ill all that night, and
still felt the effects of it.
The complainant here produced the remains of the
" hooey drop," which proved to be the gum cesiag of filthy
medicine sold in capsules.
Mr. Wilds, sanitary inspector, said the oomplaineat was
his servant, but that be did sot wish to press the case
further. His object in bringing the matter under the
notice of the memetratee was to teach the defendant that
he must not play well practical jokes.
The defeodent mid he bed some honey drops in his
drawer, and it was those he sent the lad for, but the lad
made a mistake and brought sisal which bad glue, rue to
Ibis complaint. He we. unaided say geactisal joking.
Alderman Allen intimated to the defendant that he had
mattered himself liable to be committed for trial, and ea
eosvictioo to be sent for three years' penal servitude. He
therefore hoped the defendant would take warning by his
present escape, and sot attempt any more practical jokes oa
young women.
The summons was thee dionimed co payment of meta.
