Evans was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with
h:tving been found drunk and disorderly at half-past one
o'clock in the morning.

of the Temperance Society, and had had nothing to drink
for a month ; that having met with a friend, they went into
a public-house to play a game at bagatelle, when he was
induced to take some drink.

The LORD MAYOR—If "you area member of the Tem-
perance Society, why trust yourself in a public-house.
Evans—We only went to play for ginger beer.—( Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—If you mean to continue a member
of the Temperance Society, you had better keep out of
public-houses. You are fined 53. for being drunk, and if
you are brought here again, you shall go to Bridewell.

Liberty of the Glass House-yard ; the Lower Road,
Islington ; Hornsey, to the Green-lane, St. Mary, Stoke
Newington ; Tottenham ; Edmonton ; Enfield ; St. John's,
Hackney; St. Matthew, Bethnal-green; Christchurch,
Middlesex ( Spitalfields); St. Leonard, Shoreditch, Liberty
of Norton Folgate, and Liberty of the old Artillery Ground.
It is understood to be the intention of the Government, in
conformity with the provisions of the Metropolis Police
Courts Act, to establish a new Police Court at Hackney,
which will have jurisdiction over all the rural districts at pre-
sent attached to Worship-street: so that henceforth the
jurisdiction of the Worship-street Magistrates will be
confined to the metropolitan district only.
The night charges were so few, that they were all gone
through by twelve o'clock to-day, a circumstance unparal-
. icled,a) history of the office.
