pet. 'This witness also stated that the officer treated the
defendant very, badly. Mr. Mansfield did not see why the

his discharge at once.

WOULD A BAD CATHOLIC MAKE A GOOD PROTESTANT ?

The evidence of a gentleman connected
with the church went to show that, since January, he bad
missed thirtY-seven valuable prayer books and other works,
from,the church. The prisoner used to go into a servant's
pew in the sacred edifice, and he bad seen her leave some
times in an abrupt manner. On Sunday she left abruptly,
and was suspected of taking something. She was
follovlred, and some books, now produced, found on
Lei. • In reply to the magistrate, the girl said she
lived with a respectable family in the Park, as
servant. She was a Catholic and they were Protestants.
They induced her to become a Protestant, and she only
took the hooks to learr how to be a Protestant. When she
had learned that religion, she intended to return the books
again. Mr. Mansfield said, he did not think a bad
Catholic could possibly make a good Protestant, and he,
therefore, sent her to jail for one month with hard labour.
