ROBBING TAVERN KEEPERS.—Mary Gordon, a middle-
aged woman of dissipated appearance, was charged under
the following circumstances.

Police-constable Frederick Treshley, 112 B, said that he
met the prisoner last night in Orchard-street carrying two
tin cans under her shawl. He found they belonged to Mr.
Brown, a licensed victualler. She was drunk.

Mr. Brown, of the Bedford Arms, Pont-street, Belgravo-
square, identified the quart and pint cans produced.
Prisoner said she was returning home from Chelsea last
night, and, having had a little drink, sat down on a door-
step in a fine square : on getting up she saw the cans, and
put them on her arm, in which way she openly carried
them.

Mr. Selie—Could she have found the cans as she de-
scribes, Mr. Brown?
Mr. Brown—The servants at our customer's houses put
them out on the street, to be taken when our man goes
round.

Mr. Selfe—What are they worth ?
Mr. Brown—Their value, fortunately, is trifling, or We
could not stand it, losing as many as 40 dozen a year.
Mr. Selfe—l should not think that at all unlikely if
they aro laid about the streets in that way.

Mr. Brown—They must take them for mere mischief, for
I don't know wh%t they can bo worth. They can't sell
them for old metal, and they are marked.
Mr. Selfe—lt. is a pity your customers so expose them.
Mr. Brown—lt is, but wo can't help it.

Mr. Selfe—You have been here before, prisoner?
Prisoner—That was on purpose. I did it that I might
get taken up.
Mr. Selfe—lf you do it again you may find yourself
taken up without wishing it. You are discharged now.
