THE POLICE COURTS.

A journeyman tailor named Cassidy was summoned for
unlawfully pawning a coat entrusted to him to make with-
out the comma of the owner.
Defendant pleaded that he received coats to make for Mr.
Samuel Priddle, a muter tailor, of King's-terrace, Bag-
niirge-wells.road, the present complainant, but, instead of
being paid in the regular way, the money he earned was
doled out to him in dribbles, so that it was of very little use
to him. The coat in question he took bane, but there
being no one in the way to pay him or Wu the coat in he
was obliged to pawn it to procure the common neemsaries
of life for his wife end children. When he pledged the
out he stated the circumstances to the pawnbroker, who
in

advised him that he would be justified . reign money
upon the article it he could not get paid by complanaat.
Alderman Copeland said, it he wer the sitting magis-
trate, he would dismiss the ease for no master tailor ought
to employ ,journeymen unless he could also afford to pay
them for their work when it was done.

Alderman Moon said he entertained the same opinion.
According to the complainant's own admission he owed de-
fendant money at the time the scat was pledged. If the
complainant was obliged to go oat he should leave some
one at home to pay the men, and if that had been done the
defendant would have got his Bs. for making the coat in
question and nothing would have been beard of this case.
He therefore dimissed the summons and ordered complain-
ant to give the defendant ss. for his loss of time in attending
this court, and, as he was an object deserving of commisera-
tion, he would give him also be. from the poor-box.
