had so behaved, when he stated that he had done

obtain an asylum in prison, as he was dying with hunger,
not having tasted anything for four days, neither bad be
found a place wherein he could repose his weary limbs.
Witness led him to the station-house, and after giving
him some nourishing food. made him otherwise as cow
fortable as he possibly could.
Mr. GREENWOOD inquired of the unfortunate null
who and what he was. He said he was an engineer's
assistant, and five weeks ago he left Birmingham with
2/. in his pocket, in search of employment. He had
been unsuccessful, and was now totally destitute.
Mr. GREENWOOD—But you had no right to destroy
property? Defendant (crying)—Certainly not, Sir
I would not thieve ; my hands were made for honest
labour, and I preferred breaking the glass to get myself
into prison than doing any other act from which an on"
•
favourable impression might be drawn.
Mr. GREENWOOD observed that he scarcely knew
what to do in the matter. It was evidently a distressing
case and deserving every attention. He asked the pri-
soner whether, if he were forwarded to Birmingham, it
was likely he would find employment ? He said he had
no doubt of it.
Mr. GREENWOOD directed that he should be sent to
the Mendicity Society, where he was sure his ease
would he attended to.
