A FAMILY WITITOU r LEGS.---Jeremiah Hurley, an
Irish tailor, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with
being drunk and very noisily commemorating th© anniver-
sary of St. Patrick in a beershop in Rosemary-lane, and
breaking sundry panes of glass.
Daniel Smith, an Irish dwarf, was the complainant. He
is without legs, Several members of his family have been
ushered into this breathing world without legs, and one of
them, a female dwarf, the complainant's sister, has long
been iu the practice of soliciting alms of the tailors and
others in Wench so-square. The complainant, who has a
large and intelligent lace, was a mendica,t, saved some
money, and took a lodging-house in Rosemary •lane, which
has been dignified with the name of Royal Mint-street. The
railway company for forming au extension from the Black-
wall line to the London Do,k required his lodging-house,
and compensated him for the removal. Smith has opened
a beer-house and gr,'cery at 123, Rosemary-lane, and by
his industry and civility is likely to make a little money
there. Although a dwarf, and withoutlegs, he has capti-
vated the affections of a large and handsome woman with
legs, to whom he is married. Yesterday Smith's house was
tilted with Irish, and there was a piper there who played
Irish national airs. The mirth was kept up for a long
time and all was going on well, when the prisoner, who
had been keeping up St. Patrick's day elsewhere, entered
the house drunk, made a disturbance, and on the dwarf
and his friends attempting to eject him, he made an
cnslaught on Smith's windows and broke several
panes of glass. A general scrimmage ensued, the prisoner
was turned out of the house, and numerous policemen
escorted him to the station-hous3.

The prisoner said he had been a teetotaller some time,
and broke the temperance pledge yesterday.
Mr. Paget—What for?
The prisoner—lt was St. Patrick's Day.
Mr. Paget—That is not the reason you should be intoxi-
cated.

The prisoner—l had a pint of ale and some beer in
Smith's house.
Smith—He came into my house intoxicated and riotous.
Mr. Paget—You should not have supplied a drunken
man with any ale or beer.
Sro;th—l did not, sir. He got beer from others

Mr. Paget sentenced the priooner to pay a fine of Is., and
20s. the valiA of the brlkon glass, or iwprisoucd, for one

Sweet Willie cut out the work, followed as they came
past the Stand by Danaus, Fontenoy, Amy, Victoria Cross,
and Alan-at-Arms in the order we have given, but as they
proceeded up' the hill the latter headed Mr. Brayley's oolt,
and drew up with the leaders, who entered the meadows
in close order. Passing the mile post Danaus was
passed in succession by the favourite and Amy, the
hree drawing away as theyproceeded along the back stretch,
Oat on entering the Star enclosure they were joined again
by Danaus, but who retained his position but for a few
siricks, when he gave way beaten, having the issue with
the three. On entering the straight Fontenoy closed with
Sweet Willie, the pair racing together to the enclosure,
where the latter drew away, and won very cleverly by a
length. Amy finished a bad third, and Danaus fourth. The
others were pulling up as they passed the post.

Ann, and 100 to 8 agst Tolurno,
toediitely went to the front and came on with a clear lead,
having Usher on his right, and Kennett, Tolurno, and Tar-
ragona as his immcdiata followers; but as they rounded the
turn into the straight the race was reduced to a match,
Usher being the only one left in attendance on Damascus,
whom he reached at the enclosure, and after a fine race
home was beaten by half a length,three lengths separating
the second and third, and a head between third and fourth.
