GIIILDHApI,.

/aft Fredericka a young man about twenty years of se,
we. placed at the bar before Alderman Cabin charged with
picking a lady's pocket of her purse.
()vier, an °fiber in plain clothes, said he saw the pri-
soner on Illackfriare-bridge, where a number of persons
were collected to witness the rowing•mateh, and watched
him potting his hand into a lady', pocket. Ho immediately
stopped the lady, and finding she had lost her purse, he took
the prisoner into coati*, hut del not find the purse on him.
Yrs. hlobuan said eke did not miss her purse until the
*Meer asked her if she bad lost anything.
The prisoner said it Ira. all a mutate, and a idmilrir mis-
take occurred with regard to en old lady who lost her puree,
end upon missing it she turned round and accused three
prang bodies behind her of picking her pocket, and they
were taken in custody to the elation, but se it was found
they were respectable young ladies, well dressed, and wear-
ing their geld watches, they were discharged.
Green, a detective officer, said it wee quite true what
the prisoner had stated. The perilous charged by the old
lady were three highly respectable young ladies, end it was
evident the old lady, who wee fresh from the country, had
made • miatake.

Alderman Cubitt said he could quite understand a lady
making a mistake in such matters, but in this case the
pigmies wee seen by an experienced .Meer picking the
lady's pocket, and It was not so likely he would make a mi.
take. It the CAM had been mow clearly brought home to
him he would have dealt mom severely with him.
The prisoner was then committed for twenty-one days to
prison.

streot, and stealing • quantity of gin and beer ends ehilling'e
worth of copper money. lto had been locked up since yes-
terdny morning, being too drunk to bo brought before the
court sooner.

Mary Ann Fuller, servant to John Jenkins, the land-
lord, raid that for the last two years the prisoner had
been inn stateof destitution, and had been allowed to sleep
in the house, and supplied with food gratuitously. On Mon-
day morning when witness came down attire she found the
bar Jour, which eke had setAirely fsatened over night, open,
and the prisoner in the bar. He attempted to run away
when be saw her, but was it, drunk that he woe
uusiblu to do more than stagger a few steps to-
wards the door. He had set the beer, ale, and
gin taps running, and about three pints of gin
had been lost. A shilling's worth of halfpence was also
gone from the sideboard, where she hod arranged the
contents of the till in piles of one abating each. The
prisoner had evidently got drunk there and then," for he
went to Led perfectly sober when the house cloned the
previous night. This wax an unusual circumstance. for he
woe a thorough drunkard, and was in the habit of saying
that be would never work at all, if it were not for the sake
of getting drink.
Mr. Henry—Aud yet your master keeps him in the
heir., and gives him food and bsiging. I think ho might
find a worthier object for his charity.
Witness—Oh, It is not my master; it is my miasma, and
masts scolds her for it.

The prisoner said that it era, an error. lie had not been
supported grotuitouely. lie had done work for it, eming a..
pot-boy, and niso oceasionally nursing the child. When not
so employed he paid 2e. a week for Lis rent.
The girl said it woe true the prisoner formerly paid 2e. a
week, but that was for beer which he had on credit.
The prosecutor carho appeared to be by no means sober,
and lewd aevical times interrupted with much violence of
manner)—Hu did not pay it with his own money. I
him the money.
Mr. Henry—l think you were exotodingly wrong to en•
courage curb a drunken Partert In your house.
The constable who took the primmer into custody proved
finding upon hint exactly one eltillinee worth of halfpence.
The prmoner said he wax so drunk tbot be monocled no-
thing of what bad occurred, lie had been drinking all Sa-
turday and Sunday. Still he believed what the girl meted
to be true, "so far so he could make out," and he should
plead guilty.
Mr. Henry—You art a very worthless permit, and I
think you deserve a month'. boy risournont. You 'hull go
to gaol for that term.
The primmer, who appe teed perfectly indifferent, was then
renewal.
