a dock labourer, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged
with breaking a large sheet of plate glass, valued at LI, in
the window of the Brewers' Hall,. wine and beer house in
the Commercial-road.
A carman, named William Tucker, said he was passing

the prisoner pick up a stone and hurl it against a pane of
glass which was broken into many pieces. She then ex-
claimed " I have done it."
Mr. Stephen Henry A tkins, the landlord of the Brewers'
Hall, said the pane of glass was worth £4. The prisoner
said she came out to break windows, and if she had not
smashed his glass, she most certainly would have broken
some other person's glass.

membered, have given their sanction to the publication of
a Coventry badge, the production of Messrs. Mulloney and
Johnson, of that city (who have presented £25 to the fund),

that this approval of the badge will be of great assistance
