AN AFFECTING CASE.—On Monday, at the 'Preston
Town-hall, an elderly man, named James Parker, was
charged before the borough magistrates with stealing a
pair of shoes from the shop-door of Mr. Gardner, Friar-
gate, on Saturday night. During the investigation it
transpired that the prisoner's wife is lying at the point
of death, to which state she has been brought by abso-
lute want ; that it was want of food that incited the
prisoner to commit the theft; and that not a particle of
food' was to be found in the house when he was appre-
hended. In answer to the bench, Parker said he had
never received parish relief, and had never applied for
any. Mr. Ainsworth, one of the magistrates, after ex-
pressing his sorrow that Parker, who had always hitherto
been an honest and industrious man, should place him-
self in his present position, sentenced him to seven days'
imprisonment in the house of correction. The prisoner's
son was in court, and on hearing the decision of the
bench, he fell down in a fit,
with a cry of agony, and in
that condition was carried out of the town-hall.
