PELTING A MAN WITH HIS OWN BACON —Bridget Tighe,
alias Carthy, 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 strtck 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 100 persona assembled, and the cheese-
monger had 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 pugilist than himself, and declared she would not go
to the station house with him. Ho 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 tife 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
she 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.

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
found the singlet in the shop of a Jew named Marks, who
bought it of the prisoner for a shilling.
