HATTON-GARDEN.

A most singular looking being, named Patrick O'Rourke,
was charged with sitting in the kennel in Broad.street,
Bloomsbury, surrounded by nearly 100 persons, whom he
was addressing about making Daniel O'Connell, King of
Irel.lnd. As the thoroughfare was blocked up, the de-
fendant was taken into custody.
On being asked by the Magistrate what he had to say,
Mr. O'Rourke replied, " Och, bless your honour, 'twaint
I that was doing all this. It was the whiskey, bad luck
to it."
Mr. ROGERS—What are you ? Defendant—l'm a little
bit of a dentist, and practise in Cork and St. Giles's.
Mr. ROGERS—WeII, I should think, from such extensive
practice you can afford to pay ss. for being intoxicated.
Defendant (turning his pocket inside out)—By me faith
many's the day that these pockets had so much in them.
It's not since I've worn, them.
Mr. ROGERS— Why, certainly, you look like the apothe-
cary in Romeo and Juliet, but a dentist in business in Ire-
land and St. Giles's cannot be so very poor.—( A laugh.)
Defendant—lt's not for gain I'd be afther seeking ; all
I do is for the benefit of my fellow-creatures.
Mr. ItouEns then fined the defendant Is., for the non-
payment of which he was locked up.
On the gaoler going shortly alter to the lock-up he was
surprised to see Paddy O'Rouke bleeding at the mouth.
Ile was asked what was the matter, when he handed to
the officer two of his front teeth, which he had just ex-
tracted, observing, " Be kind enough, Mr. Waddington, to
take these to a dentist, and he Will give thee 2s. 6d. for
them, which will pay the fine and you for your trouble."
Waddington objected to do so, and, on informing the worthy
Magistrate of the extraordinary :act, lie was ordered to
liberate the poor " denthist."
