SOUTH W ARK-4 THIS DAY.)

Elizabeth Nash, alias Challis, an old woman, was charged with
being found drunk, and in the possession of a 40/. note and ten sove-
reigns, supposed to be stolen.
A policeman of the M division stated that, on the preceding after-
noon, he found the prisoner lying drunk in the kennel, in St. George's-
circus. Her pocket was outside her gown, and on searching it he
found a 401. nett and ten sovereigns, tied op in a pieee of dirty rag.
He conveyed her to the station-house, and that morning, when she
became sober, on accounting fur the possession of the money, she said
she found it on Monday, in Canonbury-square, Islington. Whcn
examined before the Magistrate she gave the same account, and said
that she lived in Frying Pan-alley, Clerkenwell, and that being no
scholar, she was ignorant as to the amount of the bank note.
Mr. TRAILL said that she ought, on finding the bank note, to have
taken it to the station-house, and delivered it up to the Inspector—
that she had acted a most dishonest part, and had now rendered her-
self liable to a charge of felony.
The old woman began to cry, and said that she thought is bat
people found in the streets they were entitled to, and that she only
acted as she thought other people• would have done, under similar
circumstances. -

Mr. TRAILL adjudged her to enter Into her own recognizance to
appear on Thwed ‘y, and that probably by that time the owner
would be found.
