AN UNBELIEVING JURY.—A man names. John
Cheadle was brought before the magistrates at Manchester
on Tuesday, charged with being drunk and assaulting his
wife on the previous evening. his head bore unmistakeable
signs of recent gaol acquaintance ; and on his being brought
up Mr. Trafford immediately recognised him as a man he
had committed to the sessions for stealing candles on the
16th inst. " I thought you were to have been tried yester-
day," Mr. Trafford observed to the prisoner, " for stealing
candles at Burton-upon-Irwell." "So I was, air," the pri-
soner replied, " and I pleaded guilty, but the jury wouldn'
believe me ; so they tried me, and 'quit me." (Laughter
Mr. Trafford—You are such a notorious liar, Dun» s
the jury couldn't believe you when you told thetr uth
(Laughter.) An officer, who was in court at the time,sai..
he believed the prisoner pleaded he was insane when he
committed the robbery, and that was the reason the jury
would not receive his plea of guilty. The case of drunken-
ness and assault was clearly proved, and the prisoner was
ordered to keep the peace for three months. He was unable
to find bail, and was taken into custody.
