Terence aT ; ni;ins, an unsophisticated Patlander, was
yesterday brought before Mr. DYER, charged with having
been drunk the overnight.
Mr. DYER—Now what have you to say to the charge ?
Terence—l'm only from Connaught this two days, barring
to-day, and yesterday my brother took me to his lodgings,
and says he, " Terry, my boy, bad luck to me if I don't
make ye welcome."—Wid that he gets a bottle of gin, a
bottle of rum, and a bottle of whisky, and we sat down to
have a dhrink together. When the gin was done, I got
up to go away. " Aisy," says he, " let's have a taste of
the rum." We drank the rum, and then I wanted to go
away, but he would'nt let me, and so we finished the whisky.
After that he gazes the poker, and knocked me down wid
the broad end of it. (The defendant turned round and
exhibited a severe wound at the back of his head.) Before
I got my sinses, my brother took me up, and turned me into
the street."
Mr. DYErt—A vary brotherly action certainly. Well,
since he has got you into this scrape, you must apply to
him to help you out of it. I shall fine you ss. for being

drunk.
The "affectionate " brother, who was outside, paid the
fine immediately.

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday a person of lady-like appearance, named Dent,
the owner of a large house, some portion of which she lets
out ready furnished, was brought before Mr. WEDGWOOD,
charged with stealing a half-sovereign, the property of Mr.
John William Wilde.
Mr. WEDGWOOD asked the prisoner what she had to say
in answer to the charge ?—The prisoner was so violently
agitated that she could not give an answer to the question
for some time ; when, however, she did, her reply was an
acknowledgment of the offence, but trusted that some
mercy would be extended to her by the party who made
the complaint. She had during her life sustained the cha-
racter of an honest woman, had brought up a family in re-
spectability, and that if this offence, the first she had com-
mitted, was abandoned, she would never again deviate from
the paths of rectitude of conduct.
Mr. WEDGWOOD committed the prisoner for trial.
Sho Was obliged to be carried out of the office by two
officers, who placed her in a coach waiting at the door, to
convey her to the county gaol.

and has been twice tried at the Old Bailey for committing
highway robberies, and who has also been convicted and
imprisoned in the House of Correction, was put to the bar
with Denis Jamieson, alias Scotty, alias Don Giovanni,
another notorious thief and libertine, charged with com-
mitting a daring burglary at Stratford, in Essex.
After hearing evidence, Mr. CLARKSON said he should
commit the prisoners for trial for the burglary at Strat-
ford, and remanded them for a week on the other charge.
Yesterday a very decent young Irishwoman, named Mary
Driscoll, applied to Mr. BALLANTINE, and requested that
he would allow her to make oath, and give her a certificate,
that she had not committed adultery.
Mr. BALLANTINZ asked the woman her reasons for
making such a. singular application to him ? The woman,
said that In.r husband had lat,3ly become very jealous 0:,
her, and had accused her of being too familiar with one of
her lodgers, named Dennis Collins, a coal-whipper.
Mr. BALLANTINE--What is the cause of that ? Nrs.
