A DISAGREEABLE YOLISH AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.—
A young man of creditable exterior, who gave the name of
John Stewart, was placed in the felon's dock charged with
intending to rob the house of a gentleman in the BelgTave-
road.
Catherine Froomo, housemaid to Dr. Dudley, of Belgrave-
road, said that yesterday afternoon the prisoner came to the
house and said he wished to see the doctor. He inquired
how long the doctor would be, and being told half an hour,
he said he would wait.

Another servant in the establishment said she was called,
and showed the prisoner to the dining-room to wait for the
master. After he had been there a few minutes he rang the
bell and asked for a glass of water, which was taken to him.
Presently the doctor came home, and then it was discovered
that the prisoner had disappeared from the dining-room.
The doctor being informed of the transaction went in search
of prisoner, and found him in a dressing-room on the third
floor. Ho gave him into custody.
Mr. Paynter—ls any thing known of the prisoner ?
Dennis, the gaoler—He is well-known as a bad charaCter.
Mr. Paynter— What did he say he wanted of the doctor
when he went to the house ?

Witness—He said he Wanted to see him about an urgent
case at Clapham.

Mr. Paynter (to prisoner)—What have you to say ?
Prisoner—lt's all a mistake ; I rang the boll for the ser-
vant, and she neglected to come.
Mr. Paynter—What made you leave the dining-room ?
Prisoner—A most disagreable polish had been put upon
ono of the tables, which smelt offensively, and I determined
upon leaving the house, so I went up stairs to look for a
servant to tell her my intention; when the doctor met me
upon the stairs,

Dr. Dudley-1 found you in my dressing-room.

The prisoner said he was in want, and had applied for
relief to the parish officers, who refused to do anything for
him. He had a starving wife and family at home.
Mr. Woolrych—l don't believe you. I am sure the
parish otlicers would not refuse to rolieve a man sixty years
of ago if he was in poverty. You are sentenced to three
months' imprisonment and hard labour.
