The prisoner wasfOTMally committed for trial.

LAMBETH.—Yesterday Henry Arlett, a man
about 30 years of age, wearing large jet-black whis-
kers and moustaches, and in the uniform of an artil-
leryman, was placed at the bar before the Hon. G.
C. Norton on a charge of vagrancy.
William Hewett, a mendicity officer, deposed that
on the evening before, standing near the railway,
arch in the Westminster-road, the prisoner was beg-
ging, and his appearance having attracted a num-
ber of persons, and more than ordinary sympathy,
h e in a short time got as much as half-a-crown in
coppers. The officer added that Vie prisoner was
dressed as smartly as if he was going to parade.
In reply to the charge the prisoner said he had
been in the Royal Artillery about a year and a
half, that he had been sent home invalided from
Malta, had been some time at the hospital at Wool-
wich, and was ultimately discharged at Christmas
last, with merely a sovereign as a gratuity. Since
then he had been living by the exertions of his wife
as a laundress, but her work getting slack he was
compelled to beg.
Mr. Norton—What is the reason you cannot
work for your living ?
Prisoner—Because I am unable from an affection
in the back.

Mr. Norton—Then your proper course is to go
to your parish ; you cannot be permitted to beg in
this way. Where is your parish ?
Prisoner—ln the City of London.
_ _

Mr. Norton—Then You must go there. You
must be a mean-spirited person to disgrace the
uniform of the finest corps in her Majesty's service
by begging in it. I shall give you a light sentence
of seven days, and on the expiry of your imprison-
ment you must go to your parLh.
The Prisoner (insolently)—This uniform suit is
mine, and while there is a single shred of it together
I shall not cease to beg.
Mr. Norton—You seem a worthless fellow, and
deserve a much more severe punishment than I have
given you.
Prisoner—l say what I mean. I'll keep my
word, and beg.
The prisoner was then removed from the bar.

HAMMERSMITH.—Mr. Francis Thompson, a
pawnbroker, of No. 38, Norland-road, Shepherd's-
bush-market, appeared before Mr. Ingham to
answer an adjourned summons, at the instance of
Mrs. Martha Nasmyth, a lady residin9- in Norland-
square, for knowingly taking a quantity of clothes
sent to wash as a pledge from a laundress named
Caroline Burton.

Caroline Burton stated that she lived in James-
street, Kensington, and formerly took in washing.
She was Mrs. Nasmyth's laundress in the month of
June last, and she pledged the washing at the
defendant's shop to procure her children bread, as
her husband was out of employment. The defen-
dant had known her for three or four years, and
she had repeatedly pledged at his shop. He knew
that she was a laundress, because she had pledged
£1 worth of shirts at a time. She had pledged her
customer's clothes a great many times, and when
she got money she redeemed them. She had taken
a clothes-basket full at a time and pledged some-
times 20 sheets in a bundle. The defendant had
several times said he hoped she would not get into
trouble when the bundles had been large, and she
had told him that it was in consequence of her hus-
band being out of work.

Mr. Ingham said he had a duplicate before him
relative to a quantity of clothes and other articles
pledged in July for £1 ss.

The witness said, at that time three tickets were
made into one for £1 si. She told the defendant
that the lady wanted her things home, and that she
could not get them out. She then asked for the
three tickets to be made info one for her to take to
the lady. The articles in the ticket consisted of
two large tablecloths, five sheets, a pair of drawers,
36 towels and pillowcases.
The defendant said he had no knowledge of the
things being " washing" at the time they were
in. The things were pledged separately, and for
small sums.

Mr. Ingham said the defendant must have been
aware that the witness was a laundress from her
pledging 20 sheets at a time. Besides, he must
have known that a painter's wife was not likely to
possess 36 chamber towels.
The defendant then called his assistant, William
Goodley, who stated that he was not cognizant of
the things being "
washing" at the time they were
taken in.
The witness asserted that she told him that the
articles were " washing."
Mr. Ingham said it was not material to inquire
as to whether the defendant knew the things were
" washing" when they were first pledged. In July
the duplicates were consolidated and made into
one.l
That act was substantially a pledging, and
then the question was whether at eat time the
defendant knew that the woman was,,a laundress,
and that the things were " washing."',4, He thought
that the case was quite clear, and thit the defen-
dant knew perfectly well when he _,nade out the
ticket that the woman was a laundress and that
the things
were " washing." He ordered the
defendant to forfeit £2 10s., and to deliver up all
the articles, with 4s. costs.

MR. DORLING, OF EPSOM.—The Mr. Dorling
whose death was yesterday recorded in several of the me-
tropolitan newspapers was the father of Mr. Henry Dor-
hug, the well-known clerk of the course at Epsom. He
had nothing whatever to do with the " Grand Stand" and
" correct cards." Mr. Henry Dorling, whose name is so
familiar to the public, is, we are glad to state, likely to
discharge his duties in connection with Epsom races for
many years to come.

[ADVERTISEMENT]._--11olloway's Pills and Ointment.—
Those medicines have obtained a celebrity and an amount
of sale in all parts of the world, which must be taken as a
sufficient proof that their virtues are not exaggerated.
They have stood the test of nearly a quarter of a century,
and during all that period there has not been a single
charge brought publicly against them. No one has com-
plained that they shave done harm instead of good. No
invalid, after a fair trial, has found them fail to relieve his
pain or cure his disease. In all cutaneous disorders espe-
cially, the combined action of the Ointment and the Pills
is absolutely irresistible. Tho cure is nqt temporary or
superficial, but complete and permanent.
