We had a fair demand for fruit and vegetables, as
follows :

AM AWKWARD DILEMMA.—A gentlemanly young
man, who wore glasses, and described himself as 'James
Aideit, of 6, Monument-yard, Fish-street-bill, appeared
before the Lord Mayor in surrender to his bail, charged
under the following circumstances :--
Police-constable 554 deposed that on Thursday even-
ing last, when on duty in Gracechureb-street, his atten-
tion was called to a cab in which there was a gentleman
and what appeared at first Eight to be a lady with
him. Witness, however, soon discovered the mis-
take, and that it was the defendant who was dressed
in female's attire. He was rather the worse for
liquor, and had on a gown, shawl, bonnet and
veil, over his own clothes. (Laughter.) Witness asked
him what he had been about, and why he had on female's
clothes, and he replied that it was only a spree.
(Laughter.) Witness took him to the station-house and
charged him, and he was immediately bailed by his
friends. He had every reason to believe that the de-
fendant was a very respectable man and also respectably
connected, and that his assuming a female character was
mei ely for a lark.
The defendant said such was the case. _ _

The defendant's friend here stepped forward and as-
sured his lordship that it was only a lark. He was in
the cab with him. The defendant never left the cab.

The Lord Mayor said that might he. The defendant's
conduct was nevertifeless an outrage against decency.
He asked him if be were a married man.
The defendant said no. lie was a single man, and
had been drinking, or he should not have been guilty of
such foolish conduct.

The Lord Mayor asked if the defendant was known I
Police-constable 562 and several gentlemen stepped
forward and assured his lordship the defendant was a
very respectable young man.
The Lord Mayor, said such were but general asser-
tions, and nothing by which be could judge whether
this might be a culpable or an innocent act.
The defendant sail it was merely a lark, and said
that he had his own clothes and thick boots on, and
although he had a veil on he did nothing to disguise his
whiskers. (Laughter.)
The Lord Mayor asked whose clothes he bad on I
A friend replied he believed the defendant took them
from his sister's wardrobe. (Laughter.)
The defendant having promised not to offend again in
a similar manner, the Lord Mayor, after severely repri-
manding bite, discharged him on his entering into re-
cognisances for 20/. for six months, and paying the
costs.
The defon dant entered into the required recognisance,
and left with his friends.
