A COUNTRY LADY'S ADVENTURES IN LONDON.—
Miss Josephine Cooper, a fashionably dressed
young lady, 19 years of age, was charged with
being drunk and incapable.
A constable proved that the lady had been bought
from Victoria-station in a cab as the driver did not
know what else to do with her.

The lady said she came up from Hastings on
Saturday morning to see her solicitor, and return-
ing to the station had a very sick and bilious attack,
and was recommended by the female attendant to
take some brandy, and then had 6011'0 soup and
sherry. She lost the train, and was also a loser of
two diamond rings and £6 in money.
The policeman said that after the lady was taken
from the cab two sovereigns and some silver were
found upon the seat.

The lady said that that WAS her money, which
had fallen out of her purse. She considered her
losses were between the female attendant spoken of
and the cabman.

The cabman said he drove the lady to 6, St.
James's-place, and to an hotel in Ryder-street, but
she could not get a bed. He then ordered her to a
public house where she had sixpennyworth of sherry
and water. She was a little elevated when she got
itito the cab and after the sherry. By the falling
she became insensible.

The lady did not remember the sherry, and was
almost certain she had her property safe when she
went into the cab.

Mr. Arnold observed that the lady's memory
seemed very defective. He fined her 2s. for being
drunk. She might complain to the police about her
loss.
