—ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. —Ellen Leo, an elderly woman,
was charged with attempting to destroy herself by jump-
ing from the stairs at the Surrey side of Westminster-
bridge into the river.

Police-constable 195 11 stated that he was on duty last
night, and about a quarter to 12 o'clock he saw the pri-
soner walk to the end of the bridge and descend the stairs
to the waterside. When ho came up to her he found her
up to her waste in water, and with some difficulty drew
her on to the stairs. She was very drunk, and said she
intended to commit suicide.

The prisoner, in reply to the magistrate, said that she
was very sorry for what sho had done, and there was no
cause for it except her being drunk at the time.

Remanded till Monday next.

A DISHONEST POTNIAN.—William Payne was charged
with stealing some gin and wine, value be., the property
of his employer, Mr. David Nicholson, licensed victualler,
proprietor:of the Salisbury Arms, Fair-streat, Horsely-
down.

From tho statement of the prosecutor it appeared that
on Tuesday morning ho went into the cellar, where he
found the prisoner drawing some gin from a vat, and there
was a bottle containing some port wine on the ground by
his side. The prisoner had no business in the cellar, and
got admission by a duplicate key, as he always kept the
keys in his own possession. When he entered the cellar
the prisoner ran away, and he was not taken
into custody until yesterday evening. He never
saw him drunk. He had taken him out of the streets when
he was getting his living as a shooblack.
Tho prisoner pleaded guilty, and selected to have the
case disposed of by the magistrate instead of being sent for
trial.

Sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour

SLEEPING IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—Jonathan Sharpe
was charged with being found asleep in one of the carriages
of the 3.11 o'clock train at London-bridge terminus last
night, and using abusive language.
One of the ticket collectors of the London, Dover, and
Chatham Railway said he found the prisoner asleep in ono
of the carriages last night. lie roused him and asked him
for his ticket, and he at first denied that he had one, but
afterwards produced a ticket for the lino between Syden-
ham and the Elephant and Castle. He refused to pay the
excess and abused the witness.

The prisoner admitted that he had fallen asleep in the
carriage, but he offered to pay the difference in the faro,
which the witness refused. He denied positively the use
of abusive language. The witness adhered to hie state-
ment as to the refusal of the prisoner to pay the difference,
and his abusing him.
The magistrate, having commented on the misconduct o
the prisoner, said that, before convicting the prisoner, he
must see the bye laws with the seal of the company, and in
the meantime the prisoner would have the means of mak-
ing an arrangement with the prosecutor.

This suggestion was agreed to and the prisoner was dis.
charged.
