UNION- HALL.

Yesterday Elizabeth Welton, a decently attired woman,
was brought before Mr. TRAILL, charged with maliciously
breaking a gas lamp in the Southwark Bridge-road.
A policeman, on the preceding night, saw the defendant,
who inquired of him if she could be provided with a lodging
in the station-house, sayit, that she had come from Corn-
wall, and that she wanted to get passed there again: He
informed her that none but offenders were: accommodated
in the station-house, and recommended ber to go and seek
a lodging 'elsewhere, upon which she immediately picked
up a stone, and, taking aim at a gas-lamp, broke the glass
to pieces.

In reply to Mr. TRAILL, the defendant was a native of
Truro ; that she left that place with her two children, and
travelled to Deal in the hope of getting a son into employ-
ment. That she had since come up to town, and her
finances being exhausted, she now wanted to get back
again to Cornwall.
Mr. TRAILL inquired the reason of her having mali-
ciously broken the lamp ? In reply, she said that she was
told that she must commit an offence before she could get
passed, and she therefore threw a stone at the lamp to
break it.

The MAGISTRATE then inquired who had given such
advice, but she said that she bad forgotten ; upon which
she was told that she must be fined for the offence, and if
she did not pay the fine, she must stand committed for 14
days.
The defendant anxiously inquired if she would be passed
upon coming out of gaol? and being answered in the nega-
tive, she said, " Then I shall be under the necessity of
breaking another lamp when I come out."
The MAGISTRATE told her that if she put her threat
into execution, he should fine her himself, and if she did
not pay it, he should send her for six months to gaol.
The defendant did not care for that.
The prisoner was then committed.
