else to fill her place, and would have done her some serious
injury but for the interference of her landlady. On Mon-

ing all this illusago she would forgive him if ho would let
her alone. She added that her husband was sober when

that Julia Grantham, of 48, Tachbrook-str..et, was charged
on the Brompton police-sheet with being drunk and in-
capable of taking care of herself. She was subsequently
bailed, but was not now present, it being stated that illness
prevented her attendance, which Mr. Dickenson, a medi-
cal man, was now present to prove.
Dr. Dickenson said he had just left hor, and she cer-
tainly was not in a fit state to attend before the magistrate.

Dr. Dickenson— She is a lady.
Mr. Arnold—A real lady, or—
A Gentleman, who accompanied Dr. Dickenson—Sho is
really a real lady and cannot attend as stated.
Mr. Arnold—As she is really a real lady, I must see her
bore. I can't let a person off who is drunk and incapable
because she has the good fortune to be a real lady. She
must appear hero the same as any person of low degree.
