DRUNKENNESS AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.—A girl,
named Catherine Ryan, was brought before Mr.
Paget, charged with being concerned with two other
females not in custody in stealing a shawl and a
purse, containing a gold wedding-ring and Bs. or
9s. in money, from the person of Emily Taylor, a
married woman of 46, Cannon-street-road, Rat-
cliffe-highway. Mrs. Taylor was charged with
being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself.
A boy, named Alfred Michaels, a cigar-maker,
said he was in Halfmoon-passage, Whitechapel,
yesterday evening, and saw the prisoner and two
women about a drunken " lady," who was stretched
on the pavement and quite incapable. The pri-
soner took the lady's shawl off and gave it to
another g rl, who went away with it. About ten
minutes afterwards another woman took a purse out
of the drunken lady's bosom, at stracted the money
from it and dropped it on the ground. All the
females surrounding the drunken lady then ran
away. He gave information to a police-constable,
and the prisoner was given into custody.
Mrs. Taylor, stated in the police-sheet to be only
22 years of age, who looked 40 at least, said she
missed her shawl and purse when she recovered her
senses. There were Ss. or 9s.lin the purse, and a
gold wedding ring, which was broken. he was
about to take it to a jeweller to be repaired.
The prisoner, who is only 13 years of age, denied
having committed the robbery.
Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner for a week,
and directed the police to search for her confederates
in the crime of robbing the woman.
Mrs. Emily Tylor was then arraigned in the dock
which the girl Ryan had just left, and a constable,
named Enos Parrott, 56 H, said he found the pri-
soner drunk and helpless in Duncan-street, White-
chapel, last night.
The prisoner said she was sorry for getting drunk,
and it should not happen again.
Mr. Taylor, a smith, said—l have come here to
defend my wife.
Mr. Paget—Who has been found lying helplessly
drunk in the streets. She is in a most disgraceful
position. That is the least part of the mischief.
You (the prisoner) temnted that girl I have just
remanded, and two other females, to commit a very
serious crime. You are morally guilty of partici-
pating in that offence. The girl is gone to gaol,
and two others may be committed to gaol for being
concerned in the crime, which would not have been
committed if you had been sober. I fine you ss.
for being drunk.
The money was paid.
