vaults of Ellen Pickup, of Everton village. Prosecutrix stated

whiskey —hot, and prosecutrix was obliged to leave her bar in
order to get the necessary " materials." On her return, she
missed a bag of silver from her till, which she had seen there
the moment before. Mr. Bluck, solicitor, appeared for the
prisoner, and upon cross-examination elicited the fact, that
at the same time there was a man drinkin - •

TREATING A FRIEND WITH RESPECT.—Mary Ruff(
masculine looking Irish woman, was charged with steal
two pounds from Mary Sidley, in a grocer's shop, in M
bone. The complainant said, that notwithstanding
present relative situations, she had treated prisoner all
with the g,reatest respect. In her anxiety to continue to ao
so, she called to her on Tuesday, having gc
amount two pounds, from "the old stock,"
irreverently termed her husband, and took
to treat her with respect, but also with soi
deemed more palatable. They accordingly had fo
half glasses of whiskey together, and afterwards adjourned to a
grocer's shop where this ungrateful friend, forgetful of all
the respect shown her, had robbed complainant, not onlyof her
money, but of every thing on her person, even to
her small tooth comb." Prisoner :—" I admit you
wor always a good ould neighbour ; and in troth you offered
me brandy, but sure whiskey was good enough for the likes
of me ; four half glasses we had, sure enough, and I'll never
deny the goodness of God." The officer stated that he had
found twenty shillings in silver in the prisoner's hand ; as
to the other money mentioned, he could say nothing of it.
Prisoner : That was the change. I went to change a
sovereign to oblige her, and I was bringing it back, safe in
my hand. The case was dismissed, and the complainant
departed, saying she was yet willing to treat Mrs. Mary
Ruffe with " every respect."
