THAMES.

PELTING A MAN WITH HIS OWN BACON —Bridget Tighe,
alias earthy, a dissipated and turbulent woman, who has
given much trouble to the police, was brought before Mr
Paget charged with stealing bacon from the shop of Mr
Hunt, cheesemonger in High-street, Poplar, and assaulting
a boy named Thomas Lemon.
The boy detected the prisoner stealing some rashers of
"real Wiltshire," and called his master's attention to the
fact. The prisoner immediately struck the boy and knocked
him down. She then took up all the bacon within reach
and pelted Mr Hunt with it as fast as she was able. She
also broke a great many eggs and created such a scene of
confusion that about 400 persons assembled, and the cheese-
monger bad much trouble in saving his property. The
prisoner was given into the custody of a police-
constable, named Edward Chance, who stated that the pri-
soner stood up and fought him like a man. She was a much
better ptnsdiot than hiniaolf, and dPelarod cho wonid not co
to the station house with him. He obtained assistance,
overpowered her, and strapped her on a stretcher. She was
then carried to the station house, swearing, roaring, and
cursing like a mad woman. It was proved by police ser-
geant Watson, No. 34 K, that the prisoner had been twice
convicted of felony, and once sentenced to three months'
imprisonment, and on the second occasion to nine months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
The prisoner, whose clothes were a mass of rags, said
sha was torn to pieces by the police. They took advantage
of her weakness. (Laughter.)
Mr Paget convicted the prisoner of the assault on the
boy, and sentenced her to a month's imprisonment and hard
labour.

A DISGRACE TO TIIE BLUE JAmET.•-Michael White,
a seaman, aged 47, Was brought before Mr Paget on a charge
of felony.

The prisoner was lodging yesterday in a seamen's board-
ing house in Ann-street, St. George-in-the-East. He had
been kept there several days out of charity. He was ob-
served by two mariners lodging in the house to go up and
down stairs several times. He was also extremely restless.
After he left the house a sailor named Andrew Brown went
to his room and missed a pair of trousers and a singlet. He
immediately started in pursuit of the prisoner, and met him
going into a house and wearing the stolen trousers. He
was given into the custody of Robert Smith, 253 K, who
fcund the singlet in the shop of a Jew named Marks, who
bought it of the prisoner for a shilling.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr Paget—Have you anything to say for yourself ?
The Prisoner—lt is nine years since I was in England.
I have been in the American service. I was last in a
Yankee ship called the Sabine.
Mr Paget—Andhave you come back to England to com-
mit robberies ?

The Prisoner—l Was hard up-
l'Ar Paget—A. hale, sound man like you could obtain
employment if you have been so many years at sea. You
will always be in poverty if you are not honest. I sentence
you for this robbery to be imprisoned
for four months, and
kept to hard labour.
