lATTON-GARDEN(THIS DAY

INGIRTITUDE.—EIizabeth Harris, a decent looking
young woman, was placed at the bar charged with annoy-
ng Joseph Fisher.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner and himself
were first cousins, and ths.t in consequence of the relation-
ship subsisting between them, himself and his family had
frequently assisted her by setting her up in business, and
by giving her money alth. On the last occasion they had
done so she had run away from her business, leaving seve-
ral of the articles whicla they had given her behind her.
Since then she had gone into a situation, but had now left
it, and on Friday last she applied to the prosecutor
for assistance, who relieved her; since then she had been
constantly annoying him, and not content with doing so at
his own residence, she had this morning followed him to
the offise, where he was employed as clerk, and had there
created a disturbance. He was extremely sorry to be
compelled to give her into custody, but he had so frequently
relieved her, that it was out of his power to do so any more,
and he was reluctantly compelled to have her brought be-
fore a Magistrate as, the only alternative.
The prisoner, who did not deny the prosecutor's state-
ment, was asked lay Mr. Cosista if she would promise not
to repeat the annoyance.
Prisoner—lf he will give me some money.
Mr. COMBE —We must have no ifs or buts. Will you
promise not to annoy your cousin again?
The prisoner having, with evident reluctance, made the
premise required, was dis charged.
A HARDENED YOUNG num—James Horne, stated in
the police-sheet to be tss, rive years of age, but appeared
much younger, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing
one pound and ten shilling s, the property of John Munden.
The prosecutor, who is the prisoner's uncle, resided in
the house of the prisoner's .rather. Last evening, in the pre-
sence of the prisoner, the prosecutor gave his wife
thirty shillings, which she put in her pocket ;
and on retiring to rest she put the pocket under her pillow.
The prisoner slept in the same room with them, and about
two o'clock in the morning he was disturbed, and got up,
and found that the money had been taken from his wife's
pocket, and the prisoner had decamped. He set off in i
pursuit of him, and about six I ,'clock this morning he found
him, and gave him into cost ady. The money was found
on him.
The father of the boy stated he had repeatedly been
robbed by him, and that he was completely incorrigible ;
he had been frequently at 'the office ; and on the last
occasion an attempt was trade to get him admitted to the
Childrens Friend Society," but it failed in consequence of
his being too young. He was committed with a view of
seeing what could be done for him. The young repro-
bate attempted to make a c ry of it in the dock, but although
he most assiduously twisted: his countenance into all manner
of contortions, he could nsot succeed in squeezing out a
tear.

The Croydon Railway Company have given a
piece of ground adjoining their station in Tooley_street
for the purpose of widening the carriage-pavement fronting
their premises in that street ten feet, and workmen have
beer, some days past employed in making the much-desired
alteration in that gmaat thoroughfare.
Frugality may be termed the daughter of Pru-
dence, the sister of Temp, !ranee, and the parent of Liberty.
He that is extravagant will quickly become poor, and
poverty will enforce depe•ndence, and invite corruption.
It will always produce a passive compliance with the
wickedness of others, and .there are few who do not learn
by degrees to practise the crimes which they cease to
ensure.
