GIN DRINEING AND ILLEGALLY PAWNING.—Jane
Hark, a dissipated-looking woman, aged 35 years, and de-
scribed as a laundress and charwoman, of 2, Back road,
was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with illegally
pawning a pair of sheets, a tablecloth, a ckemise, three
night gowns, a flannel petticoat, and a baby's flannel, the
property of Mr. Wm. Allem, jun , of SG, Wapping-wall ;
also with illegally pawning 20 pieces of linen of a similar
description, the property of Mr. Giles Giles, a publishing
clerk, of 12, Sidney-place, Commercial-road.
It appeared that Mrs. Allem and Mrs. Giles, the wives of
the prosecutors, had for some time employed the prisoner
to wash and iron the linen of their respective families, and
the prisoner was obtaining a good living by her industry-
untilshe began visiting the gin-shops and drinking to ex-
cess. A few days since Mrs. Allem gave the prisoner " a
fortnight's washing." The whole of the linen should have
been returned on the following Saturday, the 13th instant.
The "washing" was not brought home, and Mr. Allem,
jun., and his wife were subjected to the greatest possible
inconvenience by the failure of the prisoner. On Monday
last Mrs. Giles gave the prisoner 80 articles to wash, and
only three-fourths had been returned to her unwashed. The
prisoner had pawned the nine articles above mentioned be-
longing to Mr. Allam, jun., and the 20 articles belonging to
Mrs. Giles with different pawnbrokers. Some of the linen
was disposed of to leaving shopkeepers, a class of harpies
who :encourage crime, prey on the poor, and are a great
nuisance to the district.

The property illegally pawned and otherwise disposed of
by the prisoner was produced by Aaron Cohen, a Jew
pawnbroker, and others, and identified by Mrs. Allam and
Mrs. Giles.

The prisoner, in defence, said a glass of gin caused her
,0 make away with the linen.

Mr. Woolryeh—Nonsense ; a glass of gin could not have
that effect. Families are obliged to confide in washer-
women, and when they commit dishonest acts and pawn
the linen intrusted to them, people are put to much loss
and inconvenience. In fact, washerwomen stand to their
employers in the situation of domestic servants. The
magistrate then sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 50s.
or be imprisoned one month for the first offence, and for the
second to pay a fine of £3 or be imprisoned 21 days.
