Police-constable Maguire said the under nurse-
maid came up to him, and told him. what bad Doc
curred. He went after the prisoner, and ' found
her talking to a servant girl at another house, mid;
she had just succeeded in getting siipenee from her
under the pretence of telling her fortune. ffer took
her into custody, and upwards of seven shillinglin
silver, besides a quantity of coppers, were found
upon her. A counterfeit half-crown was also found
in her pocket.
The prisoner here kneeled down in the dock,
calling for mercy, as she had three children at home
without a father.
Mr. Dayman said the law looked upon all per
eons who professed to tell fortunes as rogues and,
, vagabonds. He was surprised to find persons so
!foolish as to be imposed upon in that manner, and
they really were nearly as bad as those who pro-
fessed to toll fortunes. He committed the prisoner
for one month's imprisonment, with bard ,labemr;
and ordered that all the money found upon :her be given over to the gaoler towardshr sup?
port in prison.
The prisoner then quietly loft the dock.
