—A young female, who styled herself a young lady,"
and gave her name as Ann Jackson, was charged with
being drunk and disorderly at eleven o'clock on the previous •
evening, in Lime-street. Miss Jackson was a young lady
rather small in stature, but expensively attired, in a style
that some may call fashionable and in the style that suite
the tastes of the " fast young men," who feel it an honour
to find such expensive and gaudy toggery, and spend their
spare hours in such company. Miss Jackson's external
decorations consisted of a " tiny" white lace bonnet,
adorned with various artificial fuchias and a profusion of
white ribbons ; a blue velvet mantle, snrmouuted wi h a
white collar, covered her shoulders, while her hair was
dressed in the half English and half Frerch styls, but by
no means becoming the face it was intended to adorn
Altc gather she looked more showy than attractive, and
when she opened her m.luth to answer the charge, she at
once betrayed " her real character and standing." She
said—l was not drunk ; I was at Dom when another
young la 3y assaulted me, and I turn.'d back to get my
brooch, when the policeman took rue The magistrates
ordered her to pay ss, and she was handed below, uttering
words anything but cJeaplicaentary to the magistrates or
the coml.

ROBBERY AT A PUBLIC House.—An elderly female,
named Ellen Garrotty, wag charged w.th stealing 63.
from the person of John Burgess, a sailor, who had just
returned from Bombay. It appeared that the sailor, with
several tiller parties, went into a public-house at the
corner of St. Janata's-street, kept by a man named
Holmes, where he met the prisoner, who he asked to
drink, and treated them all most liberally. After this he
detected the prisoner's hands in his pocket, and haling
missed his money, he gave her into custody, atui when
she was searched upwards of .E 6 in money was found upon
her Prosecutor expressed his unwillingness to hurt
a hair of the defendant'd head, it she would but give up the
money ; for as he had to work hard for it, he did not, he
said, like to lose it foolishly As the woman hrd before
been in custody for felony, the bench decided upon sending
her foe tr. al.

garet Preston, living at 25, Rose-place, was charged by a
little boy, named William Cla ke, her grandson, with
having received a gold ring, the property of a tailor named
Heath, living at 165, Faulkner-s reet, with whom the
latter had lived as errand boy. From the evidence of
police constable 476, it appeared that on the previous day
the boy was charged with steal.ng the ring, but
was discharged for the want of evidence, and the
constable was instructed to convey him to his relatives.
As the constable vas taking him there, he a-ked
bow he liked to b 3 in gaol, and he replied " not at all."
He was then a.ked what he had done with the riag, and
he said he had given it to his grandmwher on the Sunday
morning that he had taken it from his master's house.
When he went to the grandmother's house she gave up
the ring, but previously to that, on the Monday morning,
she had denied having it, or of knowing anything about it,
although the man she lived with was in custody on the
charge of receiving it. The old woman was fined 20a.
for pawning the ring, or, in default, was sentenced to one
mcnth's imprisonment.

Charles Stewart, was charged with etealing a bill of

Linsey, a sailor belonging to the same ship. From the
evidence adduced, it appeared that on the previous day
police-constable 558 was called upon by Messrs.
Lamport and Holt, merchants, of this town, to take
the prisoner into custody. On that dry the
prisoner called at the . offi to and presented the bill of
exchange. Some doubts existing as to the identification,
he was requested to write his name, which he did, but
spelt the name Lindsey, and net answering other interoga-
toriea satisfactorily, he was given into custody. The real
owner of ,he bill, Henry Linsey, spoke to sewing the bill
up in a pair of pantaloons directly after he had received it
at St John's, but had never missed it until it had been
shown to him by the policeman. The prisoner had great
facilities for taking ir, as he slept in the same berth. The
bench committed the prisoner to take his trial at the next
