another bell, and was then taken into custody by witness.
On searching him at the station, there were two half-
ounces of tobacco, in different papers found upon him.
Mr. Arnold—What have you to say, defendant ?
Defendant—Nothing particular. I can account for the
tobacco.

Mr. Arnold—You are described as a barman out of plane.
Defendant—l got the tobacco from a retired publican,
Mr. Sladdow, who used to keep the Adam and Eve, and
now lives at 38, Dartmouth-street, Westminster, and I
expected somebody would have been here from him, but
there has not.
Mr. Arnold—Did the defendant give a correct address ?
Polio man—Yes, he did ; and I have been there. It is a
respectable place where he lodges.
Mr. Arnold—l don't think it necessary to say anything
more about the tobacco; tut what is your reply to the
charge of ringing the bells.
Defendant—l did not know there was any harm in it.
Mr. Arnold—You must have strange notions of things if
you don't think there is any harm in wantonly ringing at
houses in the dead of the night and disturbing the inmates.
Were there any c,mplaints made where he pulled the bells
Constable—Yes, both complained; and the gentleman at
No. 21 came to the gate and complained at the time of the
ringing.
Mr. Arnold—This annoyance, which is a very senseless
amusement, must be put an end to. You are fined 205., or
14 days.
