Mayhew, a Bow Street Officer, met the prisoner in the
same street, with the I ird chest on his shoulder, and,
fancying lie did not carry it like a regular porter, he
stopped him, and asked where he was going with kis
load r He replied, with great sang froid, " only to the
next grocer's shop here ?" pointing to one a few doors of;
Mayhew, however, stock close to him, and he then threw
down the cheat and endeavoured to get away, but was
secured.

Ili his defence the prisoner assured the Court lie was a
very limit st hard working man, and that on the day in
question he met a man in a state of exhaustion with the
tea dust 011 his shoulder, and the promise of a shilling
induced him to undertake the task of carrying it to the
next grocer's shop.

to justice, for this fellow had been tried before.

He stated that he was in timidity of the prosecutor before
the /ay just now at the bar came in, and lie saw her take
the bacon and pay for it. He did nut know who took
up the money, but sure lie was that she paid it.
The prosecutor being asked whether lie saw the witness
in his shop, said he had never seen liiin in his life.
l'he Recorder told the Irishman that no one would be-
lieve Min, and that he had better pi about his business.
The Irishman said lie came there to speak the truth,
and nothing but the troth.
The Recorder.—lf you don't go about your business, I
shall have you prosecuted for perjury.

the laughter of all present.
