AN IRISHMAN'S VARIATIONS.—BITING A ROSE OFF.
—A police• constable named Kelly, 130 11, a very useful
officer, who has had great experience among the Irish
people and the disorderlies in that terrible neighbourhood,
Rosemary-lane, which has been, if possible, worse since it
was renamed Royal Mint-street, came into the court to
report to Mr. Yardley that two Irishmen, named John
Burke and Jeremiah Harley, charged with an assault on
the wife of the former, who were to appear this day, did
not intend to do so, because Burke had since separated
from his wife and the other had met a misfortune—his
nose was bitten off, and he was in the London Hospital in
a dangerous condition.

Mr. Yardley—l directed you to watch the case, Kelly.
The parties had all been quarrelling. The woman had a
frightful face, indeed, but she was not blameless in the
affair, and my object was to prevent any further violence
towards her.

Kelly said there was no immediate fear of that. The
husband had since behaved well, and Harley was effec-
tually silenced, and prevented doing any mischief. Harley
took the teetotal pledge soon after the examination at that
court, a few weeks since, and behaved very well. A day
or two before Christmas Harley met him, and said he had
gone on very sober and steady, but he must have some
variations on Boxing-day. He remonstrated with the
man, but without effect, and Harley got drunk on Boxing-
day and had his variations. At night he was fighting with
three of his countrywomen in Blue Anchor-lane, Rose-
mary-lane, and one of them fell upon him and bit his nose
completely off. The poor fellow was in a very bad state
in the hospital, and would have to lament his Boxing-day
variations as long as he lived. He believed the nose was

missing.

Mr. Yardley directed Kelly to continue to watch the
case, which he promised to do, and left the court.
Ax IMPUDENT THlEE.—Alexander Ellis, a tall and
powerful ruffian, aged 20, was brought before Mr. Yard-
ley charged with stealing a Goat. It appeared from the
evidence of Isabella King, a girl whose parents keep a shop
for the sale of second-hand goods, at 26, Wellington-place,
Stepney, that the prisoner came there and asked the price
of some goods, and while pretending to strike a bargain,
ho snatched a coat off her arm and ran out of the shop,
closing the door after him. She pursued him, and called
out " Stop thief !" and he was overtaken and secured. •

•• • cry
of " Stop thief." He ran after the prisoner, but as he
was encumbered with his heavy overcoat he could not
overtake him, but the neighbours joined in the chase,
and after a long one the prisoner was fairly run to the
earth, for he fell in the middle of the road, and before he
could get upon his legs there were a dozen upon him, and
after a great resistance he was secured. The coat, which
was only worth is. 61, was thrown upon the ground and
recovered.

Mr. Yardley asked if the prisoner was known, to which
Bridgland replied that Ellis had been convicted of felony
three times, and on one occasion convicted by a jury of the
Middlesex sessions.

Mr. Yardley said the prisoner was a most impudent fel-
low, and convicted him summarily, and sentenced him to
two months imprisonment and hard labour for the unlawful
possession of the coat.

TIIIS DAY'S MARKETS.

COVENT GARDEN.

The supply of home grown produce on sale here to-day
was very moderate, and all descriptions sold readily on
higher terms. The show of foreign fruit, though by no
means extensive, is moderately good.
