A PAUPER'S WARDROBE. —John Day, a young man, was
charged with destroying bis clothes in St. Margaret's and
St...fohn's Workhouse, Westminster.
Thomas Waterman, labour-master at the workhouse,
said that the defendant was admitted on Saturday night,
and had supper, bed, and breakfast. He found him yester-
day morning in bed, and enquired what he was doing
there and why he did not get up, when he replied that he
could not get up because he had no clothes. He said he
had torn them up.
Defendant, whose style of dress was not of the most
fashionable order, complainel that he did not like it.
Mr. Selfe--What don't you like?
Defendant—My boots.
Mr. Selfe—What's the matter with them? .
Defendant—Look here, your worship (exhibiting one of
them), is this the proper pair of boots for a man?
Mr. Selfe—Not good enough for you ?
Defendant—No ; and don't fit.
Mr. Selfe—You would like the parish to supply you
with new boots ?

Defendant—l don't think these are good enough.
Mr. Selfe—You would like them made of the best leather,
with spring sides ?
Waterman—He and another man both destroyed their
boots and other clothing. They were found others, but
the difficulty was to suit their taste. He could " fit their
feet, but not their eyes."
Mr. Selfe—Well, eyes are rather odd things to fit with
boots. Defendant, if you levy contributions in this way
upon the public you must pay for it. You are committed
for 14 days' to hard labour.
Another man had the same punishment.

a capital, for there was a florin, a sixpence, and Did. iu
halfpence found upon him by Polico-sergeaut Dougan,
No. 2 II 11, who said " the youth" was ono of the
greatest blackguards he ever met with, aid that his
language was disgusting and ruffianly. All the ether
prisoners were very wicked boys, and they managed to
pass the halfpence they had tipeat tht in to their various
parents on the way to the station-house.
Inspector Holloway of the 1t division, said that a peti-
tion had been sent to the Commissioners of Police by the
inhabitants of the district complaining of the pitch-and-
toss nuisance on Sundays.
Mr. Benson said the Legislature enacted that every per-
son playing at pitch and toss should be ituplisoned and
kept to hard labour for aLy period nut exceeding three
calendar months. Re had been warning youths for the
last two mouths without effect. Ile should now begin to
put the law in force. Ile sentenced the prisoners to seven
days' imprisonment with hard labour, and if that did not
succeed in stopping the rest he should Mei ease the punish-
ment.
