OBTAINING GOODS BY FRAUD.—A woman, who
refused her name and address, was charged before
Mr. Knox with obt.tining a leg of mutton of the
value of 75., by false pretences, from Mr. Thomas
Lidstone, butcher, 110, New Bond-street.

The prisoner went this morning to the shop of
the prosecutor and asked for a leg of mutton, stating
that one was sent for by Mrs. Stewart, of Berkeley-
square. The leg of mutton was given to the
prisoner, but a suspicion arising she was followed,
and on her being found to be going in a different
direction to,Berkeley-square, she was stopped and
given into custody, upon which she offered to pay
for the joint.

The prisoner, who said she must decline to give
her name and address, again offered to pay for the
leg of mutton.

Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, who is a re-
spectable-looking woman, about 36 years of age,
for a few days.

POVERTY AND CRIME.—John Groves, an elderly
man, without shoes or stockings, and attired in a
clean suit of parochial canvass, was charged with
having put the authorities of St. Luke's, Chelsea,
at the cost of providing the same by tearing up his
own clothing.

William Coombes, night porter at the workhouse,
said that at half-past 8 last night defendant was
admitted into the casual ward. Ha received sup-
per, bath, and bed, and when witness visited him
in the dormitory at half-past 6 this morning, he
pound all his clothes torn up into rags. He asked
him who did it, and he replied that he di 1, for he
was ashamed to walk about.

Defendant, when asked what he had to say, re-
plied—l was brought up in the Foundling Hospi-
tal, and have no friends. I have always worked hard
for my living, and should have been doing some-
thing now, but I was so ragged that I could not.
I was so -naked that people made game
of me. I meant to go harvesting, but I had no
clothes, and no home to go to. A policeman who
met me in the street told ma that I was not in a
fit state to go about, and he told the truth, for I
was not. I felt that, although I was strong and
able to work, that I was a bat man for want of
.clothes, so I destroyed what I had to get some to
cover me.

Mr. Self—You are committed for 10 days to hard
Labour.
