were most anxious to keep those volunteers in an
effective state, as it enabled them to send into ac-
tive service the regular troops if required, but it
was a difficult matter to do this. Regiments who
at the time of the "Threat" mustered 1,000, or 1,200,
or 1,400 strong, had fallen away to less than half
their original- number. Any very important or
particular occasion brought out all that were left
of them, such, for instance, as the grand review
in Hyde-park to be given in honour of our grand
visitors, the Emperor Alexander of Russia and
General Blucher, and a number of foreign princes
and general officers, who all came to this country
after the allies had entered Paris, and the Bourbons
had been received by the French nation.
Our regiment, the Loyal North Britons, being
commanded by a royal duke (his Royal Highness
the late Duke of Sussex), had the post of honour,
next to the royal troops, and as I had the honour
of being present upon that occasion, I can assure
my friends that we made a very respectable mili-
tary appearance, and that the pop, pop, pop of our
feu-de-joie was as regular as the pop, pop, pop of
the regulars. But when we marched in review past
the Prince Regent, his imperial visitor, and the
crowd of general officers, I remember feeling a con-
siderable degree of chagrin at the pally appearance
we made in point of numbers, and wished most
heartily that these foreigners could have seen the
"mobs" of volunteers, as they had mustered in that
park in 1803 and 1804.
After this review, our men retired from the ser-
vice, or rather went about their business, little
imagining that they would have been called out
agam ; but they did rally round their colours once
more, when Napoleon 1., or " Corporal Violet," as
he was then designated, returned from Elba. But,
after the battle of Waterloo, and the apparent re-
establishment of the Bourbons, the British people
and the Government seemed to think that there
never could be any more risk of invasion—that
fighting was quite done with everywhere, and that,
at any rate, we were safe to the end of time—that
they had been assisting in the completion 'of some
great work, which being now finished, the volun-
teers gave back their tools—fire-arms--to the Go-
vernment, conceiving that the swords were to be
turned into ploughshares and the spears into prun-
ing-hooks,
I have shown how the volunteer movement of
1803 began, how it flourished, how it went off, and
became extinct. At this time, however, it is
thought that these rifle corps will be kept up so as
to form a permanent and efficient force ; but from
my experience in these matters, and from a tole-
rable knowledge of tho strong business character of
our people, I doubt this, and believe that in a few
yeare hence, if all goes on quietly, and all appre-
hension of attack should cease, that these regiments
will disperse and merge into mere shooting clubs,
and who thus, in case of emergency, could give but
trifling assistance to our regular force ; and then
there would be the same national spirit displayed,
the same fuss, and the same long time required in
organising, and in the mean time an enemy might
pay us a visit before we were ready to receive him.
And I would, therefore' here call the attention of
the public to the sound military advice given by
one of the greatest generals we ever had, or the
world has ever wen, viz., his Grace the Duke of
"Wellington, who when alive was constantly urging
upon the country the absolute necessity of being
armed and prepared at all times to encounter •a fo-
reign war, come from what quarter it might.
Whatever feelings of anger I might have had
against General Napier, when I took this " Popgun"
in hand, have been fired off in the few pellets di-
rected against the officer, for whose very name and
family I have the highest respect • and I should
not now return to the charge had he not in his
hasty letter attempted to pay a compliment to the
present3volunteers at the expense of their papas
and grandpapas, and I therefore proceed to see
upon what grounds he attempts to raise one
body of volunteers by depreciating the other body
of volunteers.
In the first place, let us consider of what material
and machinery an army is composed, and in the
next place, the nature and character of the country
in which it is to act. One system of tactics cannot
he applied to all kinds of land and climate, and when
a commander is about to campaign in a foreign
land, it is most important that he should, as far as
possible, make himself acquainted with its nature
and peculiarities, and the mode of fighting adopted
by its people. I could point to several cases where
our army have failed in accomplishing the object of
their attack, and others where there has been a
great sacrifice of life, with very little or no. advan-
tage, solely from a want of the proper knowledge
upon these points.
From the various well-intentioned letters which
have lately appeared in the public press upon our
national defences it appears to me that many of the
writers have not a very distinct idea of the require-
ments necessary to constitute a regiment of infantry
soldiers. Now, as I understand it, a regiment may
be described as a sort of machine worked by words
composed of (we will say) 1,000 separate parts,
which are brought together by a word, or dispersed
by a word; it has 2,000 eyes, 2,000 hands and arms,
and 2,000 legs and feet, all of which should turn and
move simultaneously, to form in line, to wheel to
the right, to the left, to move forward, to move
backward, to go on, to stop, to form into squares,
right lines, and an sles, to kneel, to lie down, to get
up, to go at " slow time," at " quick time," at
" double-quick time," to rush forward, to retreat,
always in a compact line or mass, and if part of the
machine should fall off, the other parts to take its
place, and so on ; and all this time the hands are to
handle that machine with a sharp pOint (the bayo-
net), called a gun, with uniform rapidity, at the
word of command, and those machines, or regi-
ments, who can go through all the required move-
ments with the greatest rapiditydn-ecision,firmness,
and promptitude,sare the best trained'soldiers.
—The volunteers of fcrmer days were trained after
this fashion, and dressed after the fashion of the
regulrs, i.e., in red ; and this is an important mat-
ter, in order that all should know who is on their
side by the uniform, for fear there might be some
firing upon our own men • and again, supposing,
fur the sake of argument, that the volunteer may
not be able to stand his ground as well as the re•
gular soldier—if this, in fact, offers a point of weak-
ness—it is surely not desirable to draw the enemy's
attention to that portion of our forces. Our national
military colour is red; but now, for these rifle
regiments, grey seems to be the order of the day.
This neutral colour may be the most preferable, as
less exposing the man as a mark to the enemy;
and if so, old England's soldiers ought all to turn
grey. There are the " Scotch Greys," why not the
English ? But if the regulars retain their scarlet,
and these rifles their grey, then the volunteers
ought all to have the same sort of hats or caps, in
order that our men might know them, as the sailors
say, by the " cut of their jib," and not mistake them
for enemies.
But there are other qualifications required to
make what is called a " good soldier " besides dis-
cipline, and those are, a good proportion of physi-
cal strength, firmness of mind, coolness of judg-
mentZand courage of heart. Now all these requi-
sities a volunteer may have equal, if not in a
superior degree, to sonic of the regulars ; and the
only reason why he may not be quite so effective as
the regular is that in one case it is the regular pro-
fessor, in the other it is the amateur; butif the
amateur is to be of any real service, he must he
disciplined so as to be able to take his position by
the side of the regulars in the battle-field as one o

The-fields, the very spot here alluded to, are now
the " Regent's Park," in crossing which the other
day.l observed a flock of sheep scampering across
the green sward, and though this sort of thing is
common enough with. the " Baa Lambs," I could
see no cause for their terror—no dog, no boy; but
as they scampered off again I discovered that the
cause of their alarm
_was a bit of torn paper, lifted
and drifted by the wind! Alas) alas ! thought I,
how little difference there is between the mutton
and:the man, and how many lives have been lost
from causes as trivial and absurd as this piece of
paper and that of the single soldier !
I do not mean to insinuate, by what I have just
described, that the volunteers of this day would
run away, or be panic-struck, any more than I be-
hove
that the volunteers of 1803 would have " cut
and run," or run without cutting, as the General
declares they would have done. There is no dif-
ference between the men of that day and the men
of this. But lam certain that this mode of train-
ing a large body of men merely as riflemen or
skirmishers is a mistake ; and this mode of fight-
ing, this popping off and running back—we will
suppose of some thousands of men—and allowing
•
them to be (which I very much doubt) safe from the
pursuit of cavalry, having half-a-mile the start, yet
they would find this to be very " hard service." The
very sight of thousand: of men running away from a
pursuing cavalry would of itself be enough to create a
panic ; but almost certain to produce this result
should there happen to be a few donkey lions in the
field who had nothing else to trust Yto but their
" mother wit" and their legs.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING.
STATE OF THE KING'S COUNTY.
The disorganised state of the King's County and
le spread of the Riband conspiracy have compelled
he magistrates to hold a meeting with a view of
aking such measures as may tend to restore tran-
quillity. The proceedings were conducted in private,
but the correspondent of Saunders's Newsletter sup-
plies the following brief sketch of the deliberations
within doors :
" PARSONSTOWN, Saturday Night. —ln conse-
quence of the commission of several serioas and
daring outrages in the barony of Clonlish a meeting
of the magistrates of the Shinrono and Moneygall
petty sessions districts was held at Shinrone some
weeks ago, when it was agreed to send a requisition,
signed by seven magistrates, to the clerk of the
peace to convene a meeting of the magistrates of the
county to consider the propriety of applying to the
Lord-Lieutenant to augment the police force of the
county, pursuant to the provisions of the 6th and 7th
William IV., cap. 13, sec. 12. The Government hav-
ing declined to send down to the disturbed district
additional police, under the provisions of the Act
for the Prevention of Crime and Outrage,' this being
the first day of criminal business at Quarter Ses-
sions here, was fixed for holding the meeting. At
one o'clock Mr. Blake, Q.C., chairman of the
county, and the following magistrates, assembled
in chamber,, viz.:—The Right Hon. the Earl of
Rosse, Lieutenant of the county ; llon. Laurence
Parsons, Col. Hon. J. C. Westenra, D.L , Lieut.-
Col. Bernard, D.L., Lieut.-Colonel Drought, D.L.
Messrs. Thos. Hackett, D.L., J. F. Rolleston, D.L.,
Harry Trench, Jonathan Darly, John Warburton,
Sandford Palmer, P. O'Brien, M.P., G. Garvey,
J. P. Armstrong,' John Bennett, John D. Lauder,
James Rolleston, Joseph Hutchinson, Ralph Smith,
Thomas Brereton,R.M., and thd Rev. Joseph Mar-
shall. Mr. Wray, county inspector of constabulary,
was also present, and the several sub-inspectors
stationed in the southern division of the county
were in attendance. Mr. Blake, as chairman
of the Court of Quarter Sessions, presided.
Lord Rosse, and several of the magistrates, ad-
dressed the meeting, and alluded to the prevalence
of crime in the barony of Clonlish, &c., but, as
the representatives of the press were not admitted,
a detailed report cannot be given. Several subjects
connected with the non-detection of crime, and the
organisation of the police force, &c., were discussed.
It was proposed to augment the police force by 30
men, but this proposition was negatived on a divi-
sion. It is stated that Mr. O'Brien M.P., opposed
any addition to the police force of the county, as he
was of opinion that if more friendly relations existed
between landlords and tenants, and a fair, just, and
equitable system of tenant-right were adopted and
exercised, it would tend more to the permanent
peace of the county than any police force, no matter
how large or how efficient it might be. After con-
siderable discussion, a resolution was passed apply-
ing to have an augmentation of 15 men to be added
to the force of the county, to be located in the
barony of Clonlish. It was proposed that the ex-
pense of this increase should be borne by the county
at large ; but an amendment, to have the expense
thereof defrayed by the barony of Clonlish; was
carried on a division. This is the result of the meet
ing so far as has transpired."
ARMING THE IRISH.

Undaunted by the defective state of the law
which bars all parties in Ireland from participating
in the volunteer movement, the people of Cork are
about making an experiment with a view of bring-
ing the matter to an issue. A local paper (the
Constitution) states that preparations are making
for the formation of a rifle corps for the city and
county, and the parties promoting it intend imme-
diately placing themselves in communication with
the authorities, in order that the necessary powers
may be obtained to carry out the object. It is
added that the Mayor of Cork has signified his
readiness to subscribe £l,OOO towards the expenses,
and donations to a very largo amount have been
promised in case the corps is established.
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
Up to the present there are no tidings of Mr.
Hugh Massey O'Grady, the High Sheriff c 1 Pct for
the county of Limerick, whose unaccountable dis-

the present day, a most important arm of the ser-
vice, to go out skirmishinf, at the proper time; but
the idea of two or three hundred thousand skir-
mishers is something to me supremely ridiculous.
Plumping shots into the enemy at half a mile dis-
tance, as the general recommends, and then run-
ning back for protection of the Armstrong guns,
that make sure to hit at a range of two miles, these
are "long shots," and no doubt far superior to the
old short shots.

appearance was mentioned some days since. The
family have offered a reward of I:50 for such infor-

mation as may give a clue to his discovery.

SYMPATHY WITH THE POPE.
The papers report at the average length the pro-
ceedings of another pro-Papal demonstration held
yesterday in Carlow. It was the old story repeated
for the twentieth time. Bishop Walsh (Ossory)
figured again as chairman, and, of course, repeated
his speech at Kilkenny Dm the instruction of his
Carlow sympathisers. The right rev. prelate and
Father Maher, the celebrated parish priest of
Graigne, had quite a monopoly of the oratory. The
names of the other speakers arc altogether unk no sit
to fame, at least beyond the boundary of the county
town.

powers ; and the following little anecdote will show
that eve " British lions" have been known to run
away in a panic.
At the commencement of the present century
(when the French were showing the world what
real liberty was, by guillotining their own people)
many public meetings were held in this country
for the purpose of promulgating these new and grand
ideas, and a very popular orator, whose name was
Thelwall, called a meeting in the fields north of
London for this purpose. This meeting was at-
tended by some 20,000 persons. Theiwall's power-
ful and eloquent address aroused the feelings of his
audience to a state of enthusiasm, and when he told
them he felt assured that they would, as men and
Britons, when called upon to stand up for their
rights and liberties, show to the world the charac-
teristic firmness and courage of Britons upon such
an occasion, his speech was interrupted with loud
and determined cheers, when suddenly. a cry was
raised of " Here's the sogers; the sogersis
coming!"
Oh! eh! oh!
Off they started, the whole mass of men ! The
Britons that were to stand so firm and show the
world their courage, off they went, com-
pletely panic-struck, slap dash, at full speed, over
hedges and ditches, tumbling one over the other,
losing hats, shoes, &c., and rolling in the ditcheg,
when, after a few minutes, it was discovered to be
a false alarm—no " sogers" were coming, for only
one solitary soldier, who had been induced to attend
the meeting, made his appearance over a bank ;
and my father, who was present for the purpose of
making a sketch of the meeting, &c., and was one
of the few who did not run, used to declare that
the extraordinary expression of surprise on this
soldier's countenance, as he looked at the flying
mob, wondering what on earth could be the mat-
ter, was 'a sight well worth seeing, and never to
be forgotten.

CEAYTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
Martin Zuckzyta, 6G, shoemaker, was indicted for
cutting and wounding Jonas Chaplin, with intent.
Mr. Langford prosecuted ; Mr. Sleigh defended.
The prosecutor, a coaldealer, stated that upon the
3d of November he was having some refreshment at
a beer•shop in the Hackney-road, and was reading
the paper. The prisoner was also at the bar, and
without any quarrel, stabbed the prosecutor in the
chest with a penknife, and left it sticking in the
wound.

For the defence it was shown that the prisoner,
who is a Pole, had always been a very quiet and
inoffensive man, but that since his wife's death his
manners had become strange and unsettled.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of unlawfully
wounding, and he was sentenced to six months'im-
prisonment.

Joseph Pomeroy, 40, carpenter, and Elizabeth
Sophia Pomeroy, 40, dressmaker, were indicted for
feloniously making counterfeit sixpences.
Mr. Ellis and Mr. J. Pe Doyle prosecuted, and
Mr. W. Cooper and Mr. M'Donnell defended.
It appeared that on Dec. 13 Inspectors Brennan,
Bryant, and other constables, went to 16, Little
Warner-street, Clerkenwell, and in a room upstairs
found the female engaged making bad coin, and all
the different implements used by coiners. The male
prisoner, who is the woman's husband, was taken
into custody at a beer-shop opposite, and when taken
into the room, tried to destroy the things which
the police had taken possession of. The woman said
that he had driven her to do it, and used to beat
her when she did not get enough made for him, and
that he had sent their child to the Colney Hatch
Asylum. The female prisoner had been tried at
Maidstone and suffered eight months' imprison-
ment for passing bad money, and was also tried
with the male prisoner at this court for coining,
when he was acquitted, the defence then being that
the female made the coin unknown to him, and he
was acquitted.

The defence now set up for the man was that the
female prisoner was a most dissolute character, and
he had upon several occasions turned her from his
home, and had locked her out all night, and that
she, in connection with another woman, named
Clarke, had made the bad coin when her husband
was from home, he at that time being engaged by
his brother, a builder. The male prisoner was at the
time of this occurrence, and previously, chairman of
the anti-strike committee, and corresponding with
the papers and the masters to bring about a settle-
ment of the dispute between them and the workmen.
Evidence to these facts, and also to show that the
man had borne a good character, was given.
To answer to this, Inspector Brennan was called,
and he said that years ago the male prisoner was
under suspicion of having stolen some tools, and he
(Brennan) having occasion then to search the room
occupied by him, found coiner's implements, and
the metal from which bad money was :made, and
upon a subsequent occasion searching a room from
which he had escaped, he also found that coining
had been carried on there.
The female, in her defence, sail that her husband
first taught her to make'bad money, and always
knew when she made it.
The jury found them both guilty.
Inspector Brennan said that the male prisoner
was one of the worst men he knew. Upon nine
occasions he traced coining implements to his pos-
session. His bad conduct had driven his daughter
mad, and brought the woman by his side to her
present miserable condition.
The Court sentenced the man to ten years' penal
servitude, and respited the judgment on the female.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—fun. 2.

LAM BETH.—SUSPECTED ROBBERY BY'AN EX-
POLICEMAN.--Thomas Townsend, an ex-policeman,
belonging to the M division, and Ann Townsend,
his (laughter, were placed at the bar before Mr.
Elliott, on a charge of being concerned in a robbery
at the dwelling-house of Mr. J. R. B. Watson, a
gentleman residing at 2, Pelham-place, Holland-
road, Brixton, and stealing therefrom jewels, prin-
cipally of Indian manufacture, of the value of £l5O.
Mr. Watson deposed that the female prisoner had
been in his service for about six months, and that
on the morning before he left home with Mrs. Wat-
son to spend the day at St. John's-wood, leaving the
prisoner in charge of the house. At-about 11 o'clock
he received information that his house had been
robbed, and on reaching home found that the front
bedroom and nursery had been entered apparently
by thieves, and everything-in a state of perfect con-
fusion. He found that a wardrobe in the bedroom
had been forced open by a chisel, as well as Mrs
Watson's jewel-case, and all the jewels taken there-
from. They consisted of ear-rings, rings, bracelets,
and other articles, to the amount of £l5O. On
comparing some chisels which he had iu a tool-box
in the kitchen, he (Mr. Watson) found them to cor-
respond exactly with the marks on the wardrobe
and other articles forged open, and this circumstance
excited his suspicion. The box of the nurse was
broken open, but that of the prisoner was un-
touched.
Mr. Ellaby, a solicitor, residing two doors from
Mr. Watson, said that about 7 o'clock on the night
before the male prisoner came to his house and
requested to see him, and on his going to the door
to him, he said that Mr. Watson's house had been
entered by thieves, and asked him to accompany him
there. He did so, and on going up to the street
door he was careful in looking if there were any
marks of dirty feet, as thnroads sere exceedingly
muddy, but could perceive nothing of the sort. - He
alsa examined the back part of the house to see if
he could discover the traces of footsteps from there,
but could not. The male primer told him he had
been asked to come and take care of the house with
his daughter, and had gone there about half-past
five, but did not go in; that he told his daughter
that he had to go to Kennington to see his
brother, and asked her whether she would go with
him, and she did so ; that they got back as soon as
the bells had done ringing.. When they were about
to sit down, he told his daughter that before :doing
so they had better see that all was safe, as he did
not observe her shut the back drawing-room door,
which was then a-jar. That they went over the
house, which they found in confusion. The pri-
soner volunteered to go to the police-station, and
went, he (Mr.sEllaby) stopping m the house with
the female prisoner until he saw a constable going
past, and called him in. He next locked up the
principal rooms, taking the keys with him, and
went home, but subsequently returned with the in-
spector of police. The male prisoner then informed
the inspector and himself that on returning to the
house with his daughter he found a glove on the
hall table, which excited his suspicion, though he
had not utterect a word of this before, but merely
said to his daughter, "Before we sit'down, let us
see that all is safe." He (Mr. Ellaby) put some
questions to the female prisoner, and she declared
positively that she had not been out of the house
the whole day, except when she accompanied her
father to see her uncle. The witness went on to
state a number of things which left no doubt what-
ever on his mind that The robbery had been com-
mitted by the prisoners, and them alone; and
amongst other things he said that there was in a
small vessel on the toilet table in the bedroom,
from which the principal part of the property had
been stolen, a massive ring and some apparently
valuable shirt-studs and on his expressing his sur-
prise that a practical thief should overlook such an
article as the ring, the female prisoner said, " Oh
it's only brass." ,
Inspector Molloy, of the P division of police, said
that on the evening before the male prisoner came
to the Brixton station-house, and said that his
daughter was servant at the house of Mr. Watson, a
gentleman in the neighbourhood, and that the house
had been robbed On questioning him on the sub-
ject, he said that about half-past five he went to
the house, told his (laughter he had to go to see
his brother, and asked her if she wished to accom-
pany him there ; that his daughter had pulled
down the blinds and placed a lighted candle in the
hall, and went to her uncle's with him, and that on
their return in about three-quarters of an hour they
found the place in a state of confusion. On hear-
ing what he had to say he (witness) observed that
he did not like the appearance of the thing,' when
the prisoner exclaimed, " Well, it has nothing to
do with me—l was not in charge of the house."
The female prisoner made a similar statement to her
fither, and said somebody must have entered the
house with a skeleton-key while they were away.
While examining the wardrobe he (witness) oh-
served th it it was very strange that only one halt
of it had been forced open, upon which the female
prisoner said of the part that was untouched, " Oh,
that is the place they keep the plate, but they have
taken it with them." Ile made a similar remark
respecting several boxes bound with brass, and just
the F.ort of articles that thieves would take for the
depository of plate, jewels, or other valuable pro-
perty, but which were left untouched, when the
prisoner pointed to one as containing only paper,
another only domino counters, and °the? s only
trifling. matters; and in fact nothing was touched
but the drawers and cases containing valuable
articles. While examining the marks on the fur-
niture Mr. Watson recollected having a small chest
of tools in the kitchen with three chisels in it of
different sizes, and on their being fitted to the

marks made on the furniture, they fitted to a nicety,
and it was also apparent that 411 three had been
used. The male prisoner was asked himself to fit
the chisels to the different marks, and in doing so
was obliged to admit they fitted to a perfect nicety,
but at the same time said the thieves might have
got to the chest where the chisels were kept, and
taken them for use, as the chest was open. Upon
which he (Inspcctor Molloy) remarked that in all
his experience he never knew a housebreaker to
bring more than cane chisel to effect a robbery, and
that it was something new in the art of house-
breaking for the thieves to find the necessary tools
on the premises, mid not only so but replacing
them where they had been found.
The prisoners, who merely denied the robbery,
were remanded for a week.

WESTMINSTER.—FEmALE INTREPIDITY.—A
tall powerful fellow, who gave the name of Charles
White, was charged with felony under the following
circumstances :

Mrs. Sholl, wife of the proprietor of the Crown
Stout and Ale Stores, Exeter-court, Chelsea, said
that between 9 and 10 on the previous night she
had occasion to go up stairs, and found the prisoner
coming out of her bedroom.
Mr. Bingliain—Wll it did you say to him ?
Proseeutrix—l called him a thief; and laid hold
of him by his throat and held him. He said, " Let
me go," and struggled violently to escape, and we
came down a number of stairs together. I was much
hurt, but I still held him tight till my servant and
other persons came to my assistance. After he was
given in charge to a policeman I examined the room
and found that he had turned the bed over and
vouch disordered the room, and a brooch, with my
husband's likeness in it, had been carried off.
Mr. Bingham—lf all women were like 3ou we
should not have so many thieves. You deserve
great credit, indeed.
The police proved finding the missing brooch, a
wax taper, a jemmy, some skeleton keys, and luci-
fer matches on the prisoner.
Prisoner was remanded for a week.
THE HON. llucrr ltowLEY's CASE.—Owing to
the sudden, and it is to be feared serious illness
of Mr. Payntcr, through which Mr. Bingham, of
Marlborough-street, was called upon yesterday to
preside in his stead, it is very improbable that any
further proceedings in the case of the Hon. Hugh
Rowley will take place at present.

HAMMERSMITH.—Cuprous CHARGE or As-
SAULTING TIIF, PoLicli.—A young man, named
James Farley, was charged before Mr. Ingham under
the following somewhat curious circumstances :
An old man, named William Plummer, said he
was a housekeeper at Great Grove House, Kensing-
ton. The prisoner had been lodging there, and on
Saturday night he was very obstinate, and would
not go to bed. He was obliged to call in the police
and give him into custody. (Laughter.)
Mr. Ingham inquired of the witness what time he
required his lodgers to go to bed at night.
The witness said twelve o'clock.
Mr. Ingham then asked the witness if the prisoner
was really doing anything when he called in the
police.

The complainant said lie was only obstinate, and
would not go to bed. He wished him to go to bed
or leave the house, and as he refused witness ealled
in the police. The witness added that the prisoner
was never obstinate before.
Mr. Ingham inquired if the police tried to put
the prisoner to bed.
The complainant replied they did, and he still
refused to go to bed. (Laughter.)
Police-constable Harrison said he was on duty in
High-street, Kensington, about half-past 12 o'clock
on Saturday night, when he was called by the com-
plainant, but he refused to enter unless there was a
disturbance. He was accompanied by another con-
stable, and after waiting a short time they heard a
disturbance and the cries of " Police " by the com-
plainant. They went down stairs into the kitchen,
where they found the prisoner creating a disturb-
ance and swearing. The other lodgers had tried
to get him to bed but he refused, and witness then •
put his hand on his shoulder, and also trieeto per-
suade him to retire. He then flew at witness and
struck him in the face and was veryviolent. They
got him up to the top of the stairs, and he then
promised to go to bed. They released him, but he
immediately ran down into the kitchen. They
then took him into custody.
Mr. Ingham said it did not appear that he was
taken into custody for the assault, but because lie
refused to go to bed.
The constable said he took him into custody like-
wise for the assault. The prisoner afterwards kicked
him and also assaulted the other constable.
The complainant, in answer to questions, said it
was one of the regulations of the lodging-house
that all the lodgers should go to bed at 12 o'clock
or be turned out.
The prisoner said he did not reach home until 10
minutes after 12 o'clock, and he wanted something
to eat.
Mr. Ingham told the prisoner that the regulation
of going to bed at 12 o'clock was a very necessary
one. At first it did appear ludicrous that two con-
stables should interfere to put him to bed, but that
had been explained. He fined him 205., or fourteen
days' imprisonment, for the assault.
The prisoner was locked up in default.
A Poousii MOTIIER.--Louisa Washbourne, a
little girl about 15 years of age, was placed in the
dock, charged with stealing a box containing two
wax figures for Christmas trees, from the counter
of Mrs. Mary Dickenson, the keeper of a 'fancy re-
pository in Gloucester-road, South Kensington.
It appeared that on Saturday the prisoner took
the advantage, finding the shop empty, the prose-
cutrix having just stepped into the parlour at the
back, to enter stealthily and to take what first
came to hand, The prosecutrix happened to catch
the glimpse of a figure quitting the door somewhat
hastily, and upon running into the shop she imme-
diately missed the box and figures, value 4s. 6d.,
from the counter. She instantly despatched her
assistant'after the person, and sho brought back the
prisoner. The box was not found, but in the station
the female searcher detected her in the act of swal-
lowing sonic pieces of wax. They were afterwards
shown to the prosecutrix, and she immediately
identified them as portions of the wax figures.
The prisoner cried bitterly, and had nothing to
say.
The constable, who took the prisoner, informed
his worship that she was a very bad girl, and her
parents could do nothing with her. It was only a
short time ago that they charged her at that court
for robbery, but the case was not pressed.
The prosecutrix stated that she believed the pri-
soner had robbed her twice before.
Tne mother, a respectable-looking woman, who
also cried very much, said she was- utterly at a loss
to know what to do with her daughter. She had
been in service, and had had good situations, but
would not keep them.
The magistrate thought she was a fit subject
to be sent to a reformatory, and asked her (the
mother) what amount she could pay weekly for the
prisoner's support.
The mother said she could not pay anything—
her husband was only a working man._
The Magistrate told her that she would have to
keep her daughter if she was at home. However,
if she could not contribute anything for her main-
tenance he must send her to prison.
The prisoner was then committed for one month.
Both the mother and daughter embraced each
other before they were separated.

A GOOD TEST.—" What do you think o' this
revival, Jemmy ?" asked a Scotchman tho other day of his
friend the milkman. " Well, I dinna ken what to say of
it," replied the latter ; " but one thing I ken, I ha' got a
great many bawbees which I had gied up as bad debts."
