DISORDERLY CONDUCT AT VICTORIA STATION.—
John Holland, a labourer, was charged with drunk-
enness, disorderly conduct, and wilful damago at
Victoria Railway Station.

Robert Lilley, office porter, in the employ of the
Brighton and South Coast Railway, said that yes-
terday afternoon, a little before four o'clock, he
saw the defendant in the booking-office intoxicated.
Defendant inquired what time the next train Was
going, when witness replied three quarters of au
hour, and, seeing the defendant's condition, he re-
commended him to go and take a walk. He then
took defendant by the arm, and for his safety led
him off the platform, but he shortly after returned,
and becoming disorderly was again removed.
John Chapman, railway policeman, said that he
was called yesterday afternoon to remove the de-
fendant from the platform. He, however, imme-
diately returned, and was removed a second time,
when he turned round and tore witness's coat off
his back.

The uniform coat was produced, literally torn to

Rees.

In reply to the magistrate Mr. Foary, railway
inspector, said that the damage done to the coat
at least amounted to 153.

Defendant said he was so drunk that he (lid not
know what had occurred, but if some time was
given he would endeavour to pay for the coat.
Mr. Selfe fined hi .n 205., and he was onnrnitted
for ten days in default.

months old.

Mr. Paget—And the complainant is the father
of both children ?

The compl,inant—Yes, sir.
The prisontw--I douLt it. The children are no

years, and after I had become the mother of two
children he abandoned tne.

Dragon was but nominally] at 100 to 8, which was the
highest pike obtainable. Both Aniburgh and Roquefort,
