HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday Jane Adams, seventy years of age, who bad a
severe cut on her head, was brought from the station-
house, charged by a police-constable of G division, with
being drunk.
Mr. BENNETT asked her what she had to say for her-
self? Prisoner (shaking dreadfully)-oh, your Worship,
I have got a bad head.
Mr. BENNETT—And does putting liquor into your
mouth make your head better? Prisoner.7.oh, but I've
got a bad leg too, Sir.
Mr. BENNETT—Then you ought to refrain from liquor.
Prisoner—l do, Sir, but a little drop knocks me up.
Mr. BENNETT thought it knocked her down too ; it was
not a little, drop that could have brought her to the condi-
tion described by the constable.
An elderly pale-faced man standing immediately behind

the prisoner said (sympathetically), Lard bless ye zur, the
poor wake creatcr can't drink at all ; the liquor gets into
her legs and upsets her directly.
Prisoner—Yes, Sir, it gets in my legs, and I fall down.

Mr. BENNETT—Pray, what arc You? Prisoner—A mar-
ried woman, and this (puttin her hand on the elderly pale-
faced personage) is my husband.
Husband (sighing)—Ali, zur, lam her husband. Sober
creatur I assures you.
Mr. BENNETT—What are you ? Husband—A seal en-
graver.
Mr. BENNETT—I shall discharge her on paying a shilling.
The prisoner staggered away from the bar and nearly fell
down, and hur husband, in attempting to save her, nearly
shared the same fate.
Mr. BENNETT—Why, she d JCS not seem t) be sober now.
Prisoner (endeavouring to keep her perpendiculnr, and
giving a side look at Mr. Bennett)—Oh yes, it is all in my

Husband—Yes ; it's all in her legs, your Worship.
Mr. BENNETT—What ails her ? Husband—Oh, s'ae's
(Ally debillyated.—(Laughter.) Excuse the shilling.
Mr. BENNETT—No ; you must pay the Queen's fee.
He ultimately produced the shilling, and the " happy
pair" quitted the office in a " questionable" state.

Yesterday a gentleman of the name of Wilson appeared
before Mr. CODD, charged with driving at a furious rate.
The defendant was held to bail, himself in 1001, and two
sureties of 50/. each, on account of a lady who received an
injury in consequence of the animal which he was riding
coming in collision with the vehicle in which she was, by
which she was flung out.
On the 11th instant the defendant, in the evening, was
on horseback in Dalsten, when, being in a state of inebria-
tion, he rode about the town at a most reckless speed. lie
continued his course for some time, when the animal on
which he was dashed against a chaise in which were a lady
and two gentlemen. By the violence of the concussion
the chaise was dashed to pieces, and the party were pre•
cipitated into the road, while the defendant was dish:dud
from his seat. The defendant was taken to the statioit-
house and the lady to a surgeon's, where her wounds weal
dressed. Yesterday, as the certificate from the surgeon
stated that the latter was in a fair way of recovery, and as
compensation was made by the defendant by payment of the
surgeon's bill and for the damage done to the cart, the de•
fendant was discharged.
