UNION-HALL.

An apprentice to a tailor was charged by his master with
absentinc, himself from his work, and " sporting his figure"
about the west end, with his hair curled, and an eye-glass
suspended to a broad piece of ribbon. His clothes were
also made up in the first style, and he looked, as the mas-
ter termed it, " a regular swell." On being remonstrated
with the defen'dant put his glass to his eye, surveyed his
master from head to foot, and, with the most ineffable con-
tempt, said he should do a day's work when it suited him.
In reply to the Magistrate the apprentice said his hair
curled naturally, he never employed a barber ; and as to
his dressing fashionably, his master ought to be proud of it
than otherwise. He certainly did take a stroll about the
west end of an afternoon, which was, in his opinion, better
than going to a public-house.
After some further conversation the defendant was taken
back by his master, the Magistrate intimating that if he
was brought there again he would be sent to the treadmill.

W OR SHIP- STREET.
A boy named Charles Curtiiwas charged with administering
a quantity of vitriol to his sister. The occurrence took place
a week since, but was not made known to the Magistrate
until Friday, who hearing.that the girl was in a dangerous
state, went to the 'place to take her deiitiSitiOn. From this
it appeared that the girl was with her mother, a widow,
who keeps an oyster-stall, when her brother (the prisoner)
told her that up-stairs she would find a bottle with ginger-
beer in it, which she might drink if she would. She was
nursing a baby at the time, and went up stairs, when finding
a bottle such as her brother had described, she drank great
part of the contents, but immediately felt a violent burning
in her throat, and exclaimed to her brother, " Oh, Charles,
you told me it was ginger-beer, but it is vitriol !" The girl
was taken to a surgeon who administered such remedies as
he deemed necessary, and there was reason to believe she
would recover, but the case had since assumed so unfavour-
able an aspect that the patient was in great danger.
Mr. BROUGHTON, the Magistrate, regretted that the
girl had not been taken to an hospital, and it was now ar-
ranged that she should be taken to St. Bartholomew's.
The young prisoner, in defence, said he did not think his
sister would drink the stuff, which had been given him by
an uncle, to clear his hands from stains.
lie was remanded.

HATTON-GARDEN.
ESCORTING HoME—Alexander Mullard and Sarah
Paine, were brought before Mr. LAING, under the follow-
ing circumstances :
Policeman Kerr stated, that between one and two o'clock
in the mornirw, he was walking across the Britannia-fields,
Islington, and nearly tumbled over the prisoners, who were
lying upon the grass, and so earnestly kissing and fondling
each other that they were unconscious of his approach. He
thought such assignations highly improper, and consequently
considered it his duty to take them into custody to try their
right of behaving in that manner.
Mr. LAING (to the man)—Pray how old are you ?
Prisoner—Siity-five.
Mr. LAING—And how old are you, Miss ? Prisoner
(crying and holding down her head)—Nineteen, Sir.
Mr. LAING—WeII, upon my word, these are pretty
goings on. You (to the male defendant) I presume have a
wife ? Prisoner_l have, Sir.
Mr LAING—But the female by your side is not her, I
guess ? Prisoner (putting his hand to his forehead)—She
she is not.
