THAMES.

A LADY DRUNKARD.—Louisaeritt, a smartly-dressed
woman, about 30 years of age, and described as a married
lady of No. 1, North-street, Limehouse, was brought be-
fore Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk, disorderly, and
assaulting Anna Stone, of N 0.7, Martha-street, St. George-
in-the-East, and Amelia Cope, of N 0.13, Beaumont-terrace,
Stepney.

Yesterday evening the prisoner was in the Mile-end.

road very tipsy, and as she staggered along in a very un-
lady-like manner she pushed against several persons, and
attempted to strike several. She slapped a young woman
on the face, and the person assaulted was about to return

he blow, when a respectable girl named 'Stone, abou'

twelve years of age, interposed, on which the
prisoner abused her for her kind interference,
seized her hat which she tore from her head,
and then pulled her back hair down. The aunt of the girl
who was with her got between her niece and tho prisoner,
and asked her what she meant by such conduct, on which
the prisoner scratched Mrs. Cope's face, and left the marks
of her nails there. A police constable was at hand, and
the prisoner was given into custody.
Tho prisoner, in defence, said she felt herself much de-
graded and humiliated at the position she was in. Her
husband was the owner and master of a Colchester vessel.
Ifs made an appointment to meet her at the Great Eastern
railway station in Bishopsgate-street last night. Business
prevented him coming to London. She was much dis-
appointed at the absence of her husband, and in her vexa-
tion drank two glasses of brandy—only two, she could
assure the magistrate, and it made her giddy, not drunk.
This was the first time she had ever been in such a posi-
tion, and she hoped the magistrate would release her as
soon as possible.

Mr. Paget would not release the prisoner until he
punished her and said a few words to her. If ho allowed
the prisoner to go because she was in a good position,
what what would be said of the poor and wretched crea-
tures charged with being drunk and committing assaults.
The conduct of the prisoner, who was a woman in a good
position, was highly disgraceful, and he should fine her £5
for assaulting Mrs. Cope and niece, and if the prisoner's
husband was a wise man he would not pay the fine, but
allow his wife to remain in prison one month.
THE CAPTAIN ON A LEE SllOßE.—Elizaboth Daly, aged
38, a dissipated and most infamous woman, who has been
repeatedly in custody, and is the worst thief in the district,
was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing £G,
two pocket-books, and other property, from the person of
Capt. John Thornton, the master of the brig Elizabeth
Leith.

The prosecutor said he was a resident of Gravesend,
and came from that town last night by the last train. Ho
met a young lady by the Tower-stairs, and she put him into
a cab and escorted him to a house. He was quite sober,
cool, and collected. He fell into a doze as he sat on a chair,
and all at once felt a woman's fingers in his waistcoat
pocket. He jumped up, shook himself, rubbed his eyes,
and saw the prisoner running away. His pocket-books,
too, were gone; his money, £6 in gold and about 205. in
silver, was missing ; and his coat was pulled off while he
was dozing. He was sure the prisoner was in the room
when he awoke.

Frederick Greenfield, police-constable, No. 495 K, said
the prisoner Was the landlady of the house, No. 37, Devon-
shire-street, St. Georgo-in-the-East, where the captain
was robbed. It was the worst house for robberies in the
district. Ile found the prosecutor's empty purse on a bed
and his pocket-books under the same bed and between two
mattresses. A captain of a ship was robbed of £l2O in the
same house a few nights ago. The prosecutor was not
drunk, but stupid.

Captain Thornton—Yes, I was off my hooks last night.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner for a week.
