BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

•
A LUCKY FELLOW.—A respectably-attired young
man, named Featherstone, is as charged with being drunk
and incapable.
Jago, an active constable of the F division, stated that
while on duty last night in Southampton-street, he
found the de:endant in a shocking state of intoxication,
and perceiving that he was quite incapable of taking
care of himself, he thought it best to take him to the
station-house. There, of course, he was searched, when
a purse containing 12 sovereigns and some silver, a
valuable gold watch and chain, and a silver watch and
chain, were found upon him.
Mr. HENRY asked him if be had any explanation to
give of the matter? The prisoner replied that be was a
respectable man, from the country, and was stopping at
the Craven Hotel, in Covent-garden. The money and
silver watch were his own, but the gold watch and chain
belonged to a friend 'with whom he had been making
merry, and who had entrusted them to him to take care ot.
Mr. HENRY directed Jago to go to the Craven Hotel
with the prisoner, to ascertain if what he stated was true.
Jago did so accordingly, and on his return he informed
the magistrate that the prisoner was well known at the
Craven Hotel to be highly-respectably connected; he
was in the habit of staying there whenever he came to
town, and had been stopping there for some days past.
Mr. HENRY was glad to hear that it was so, and told
Jago to hand over the silver watch and money to the
gentleman, but directed the gold watch to be detained
until his friend appeared to claim it. For being drunk
he should fine hies ss.

The prisoner thanked the constable for the care he
had taken of him, and, having paid the fine, he was dis-
charged.

FATAL COLLISION AT BRADFORD.—As a police-
man was passing along his beat in Manningham-lane
about half-past ten o'clock on Friday night last, his at-
tention was attracted by the breaking of a gas lamp at
the bottom of Hanover-square. On going hastily to-
wards the lamp to asct rtain the cause of the smash, he
found that a pheasant had flown against it, and had
fallen d, ad by the collision. It was exceedingly foggy,
and the poor bird had missed its way, and thus met its
death.

and is worth a great deal.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
