" BIRDS OF A FEATHER," &c.—At Dui ilin Head
Police-office, on Tuesday, a policeman n; imed Crow
brought before the Magistrates a young wo
man named
Sparrow, upon suspicion of having stolen a g oose ! which
Crow held in his hand.

Crow stated that he saw Miss Sparrc4 a in Cuckoo-
lane ; she had a bundle under her cloe',E, ne ad suspecting
all was not right, he examined it, ap.d fo e.nd the goose,
which could not have been long dead, a s it was warm,
and not being satisfied with the replies t o his questions,
he brought Miss Sparrow before the; x Worships, in
order to make her give ,an ae•Jount of 1 Low she had pro-
cured the body of the goose..
A voice—Perhar,s she wanted it for Michaelmas-day,
as it is not far 013'
.—(Laughter.)
Miss Sparrow (a tat country girl),---You lie, I didn't ;
(turning to the bench) I'll tell yo.u, Sir, all about the
goose
!--(Gre at laughter.)
MAGISTIU TE—Very well, go on, Miss Sparrow, and
let us hear a
a about the goose I
Miss Spar 'row—l was sent by my master, Mr. Pid-
geon, of th, e Wren's Nest, to make a present of the
goose to M vs. Eagle, who lives at the sign of the Cock,
in Swan-all ey, Cock-street. and while going there was
taken up I Crow ; but if my master„ Mr. Pidgeon,
was there, he would pluck Crow, and h are him in the
same condition as a namesake of his was left one fine
morning a t the singing of the lark, an aw.ount of which
will be to and in a certain book written by a worthy
gentlemat called isop, who lived sone time before
Noah's fl ood ; but as all the chronicles were drowned
(with tt .e exception of the dove), the precise time
could no tbe ascertained.

Durir g this exposition the persons in the board-room
:
were co avulsed with laughter, there being such an ex-
traordir aary coincidence in the names ; and three or four
Young
[nett 'were seen actively engage-Al in doing a third
editio 3 of tihe Jim Crow business about the board-room.
The .7r orth: y Magistrates also lauglyA heartily. When
the 1.-ii iible J 'acuities of all had been, satisfied with indul-
ger,ce, the Magistrate said to the policeman—Crow, go
