AN OLD MAN WITHASWE ET TOOTH.—William
Williams, an elderly, withered-looking man, upwards of
60 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged
with stealing a pound of raw sugar, the property of the
East and West India Dock Company.
It appeared from the evidence of William West, a
dock constable, that he met the prisoner "shuffling" out
of the dock, at the principal gateway, and endeavouring
to escape observation, yesterday afternoon. There was
some sugar hanging about the man's face, lips, and
hands, and he had evidently been recently in contact
with saccharine matter. He was searched, and in every
pocket sugar was found—it weighed one pound. The
prisoner had been seen in a warehouse in which he had
no right to be. The warehouse was full of sugar.
The prisoner said he took a handfull or two of sugar ;
he could not resist the temptation.
Mr. Selfe—You must resist temptation.
Roche, the gaoler of the Court, said the prisoner was
convicted sometime ago for a robbery in the same dock.
Mr. Selfe—Stealing sugar?
Roche—No, sir; for stealing poor hard-working men's
tools.
Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was a bad fellow, an :in-
corrigible thief, and sentenced him to two month's im-
prisonment and hard labour for unlawful possession of
the sugar found upon him, and if he was brought before
him again for a s►milar offence he would be committed
for trial.
