MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

A LOVE-SICK TAILOIL—Josbna Clay, sheepish-looking
lad, was charged by Mr. Kennedy, a tradesman in Oxford-
street, with having been found on his premises at a late hour
the overni;ht. When discovered, all that could be got from
the defendant was, that he had climbed over the wall " to
see his dear Louisa." _ _ .

Mr. Kennedy had a servant named Louisa, but he had
reason to believe she gave no encouragement to the pri-

Soller.

Prisoner (sighing)—Why I'm her sweetheart!
Mr. Kennedy-1 never saw you before, nor am I aware
that you have ever been in my house.
Prisoner—Oh, yes I have though, every Sunday after-
noon., I asked Mrs. Kennedy to Olt me come a-courting
to Louisa, and she said I might go into the kitchen any
time when Louisa was alone.
Mr. DYER—Then why did you get over the wall at such
a late hour?
Prisoner—Me and mother had a kick-up, and so I
thought I'd go and tell Louisa.
The mother came forward, and said that her son, who
was just out of his time as a journeyman tailor, lived at
home with her. She had occasion to box his ears for some-
thing he said, upon which he left the house in a pet, and
went to pour his sorrows into the bosom of his sympathising
Louisa.
Mr. Kennedy told the Magistrate he was now satisfied
the prisoner had no felonious intention, and he did not wish
to press the charge.
The prisoner was liberated, after a suitable caution.
A couple of smart young men were charged with having
been drunk and disorderly.
One of the parties, Thomas Johnson, admitted the charge
of intoxication, and was released on payment of the usual
fine ; his .companion, John Brown, the model of a full-
fledged spouter at a debating society, protested loudly
against a s►milar disposition of his case, because, if allowed
to display his ratiocinatory powers, he felt assured he could
ensure an acquittal.
Mr. DYER—WeII, Sir, I am ready to hear you.
Defendant—The first proposition I wish to bring for-
ward, is, that I saw the policeman coming across the street ;

Mr. DYER showed this was a non scTuitar.
Defendant—Then I'll confine myself simply to the ar-
guments and facts bearing on the' case in point. I supped
in the Haymarket, and after setti:og, with the waiter and
finishing my brandy-and-water, I wa.'ked leisurely up Pic-
cadilly. There I was accosted by a persoo, who desired
me to take care I was not picked up by the black-legs. I
retorted he was a black-leg for his trouble, and then he
struck me. Of course we got into an argument, till the
policemen came and took me into custody. What
strengthens my case most materially is, that I was quite
sober, and my antagonist refused to accompany me to the
etation-house. Looking, therefore, at all the facts, and
droving those conclusions which these facts warrant, your
Worbip cannot do otherwise than come to a different de-
terminatiO in my case.
Mr. DYER--Certainly. Your friend adtnitted that he
had been drinking, and I released him on payment of ss.
But as you deny you were intoxicated, I must, on the oath
of the policeman, consider the disorderly conduct proved,
and call on you to find bail.
The orator looked exceedingly mortified at this an-
nouncement, and on seeing his friend walk out of the office,
while he was handed to the lock-up man, muttered, " Gad,
I've made a pretty mess of it."
A hint having been co:nreyed to the unlucky orator, he
availed himself of it, by requesting another interview with
the Magistrate. Having bet..n put to the bar again, he
said very penitently, I admit ply error, and I hope your
Worship will allow me to say tho.:-. I was intoxicated at the
time."
Mr. DYER consented to fine the d.,,Sendant 55., and then
directed he should be discharged.
