,• Police-constable North, being on duty in Theberton-
street, Islington, at two' o'clock in the morning, saw the
gates of Mr. Seabrook's premises op,n, and the cab '
standing in the middle of the street opposite. Ile gave
inforniation of the circumstance to the complainant, who
stated that the prisoner went out with the cab and horse
aboilt eight o'clock, and that he had not seen him since
that time. They went to the stable and saw the horse
standing there, but neither the prisoner Mir 'the har-
ness were anywhere to be found. They called the pri-r
soper by' name, but' TRY answer was-nhide ; at
length he Was seen lying iniddr the horse, in the stall,
his head protruding from between the animal's hind
legs. The prisoner, who was stupidly drunk,-was
dtagged from' his 'perilous position, and ptaced•up4mt his
limbs, when his appearance was irresistibly ludicrous--
he was completely rigged out in the horse's furniture,
having the winkers on his head, the collar round his
neck; and the:saddle on his back. He had mechanically '
stripped the horse,.and then, under the influence of some
Bacchinalian freak, assume; the humiliating appearance
and position described.
The statement produced much merriment in Court.
The prisoner, who looked very sheepish, declared he was
so " sowed up" that he recollected nothing whatever of
'what was. said to have, taken- place. lie was fined five
'shillings; • ,
• Stephen Auiten was charged by the parechial'authori-
ties of Islington with deserting his three children,
whereby they became chargeable to that parish.
The fact was admitted by the prisoner, who declared
-that-he.fleserted-them-because he was unable to procure
food ,for them. Having expressed . his willingness to
-come to an arrangement, the case was remanded until
Monday, to afford him, an opportunity of going before.

A lad, apparently about 18 years of age, of very des-
titute appearance, sought relirf from the Magistrate._

. Mr. i.foxnE asked him his name and address ? The
applicant said his, name was James Carter, and, that he
was a native of Nottingham. •
Mr. Comtk—Where did you sleep last night ? Ap-
plicant—Nowhere,- Sir.- • --
. Mr. ComnE—Where. did you seep the night before ?
Applicant—l-did not sleep anywhere. Sir. I have been
walking about the streets night and day for the last four
'nights.
Mr. CoMBE—Why did you not apply at the work-
house ? Applicant—l- did apply, at St. Giles's work
House,, bnt,thoya.Aised to admit me. The. last time I
slept anywhere warin St. Giles's.
Mr. COMBE—Then you should- :have gone to Marl-
borough-street Police-court. The
.boy (crying) said he
had.been there; and the Magistrate" sent him to St.
Giles's workhouse, into which he had been received for
one night, but'disehargel 'again the next morning. ,
Mr, Co3inE told the -lad-he must again apply at St.
Giles's workhouse, and if they persevered in refusing to
receive him, he must again go before the Magistrates of
Marlborough-street, in which district the St. Giles's
workhouse was situate. The worthy Magistrate ordered
him a trifle. to supply present necessities..
. . _ _ _

A man and his wife, and four children, famished-look-
ing Creatures; complained to the Magistrate that the
overseers et Clerkenw(ll parish refused to receive them
into the house, or to afford them adequate- relief. The
hUsband said they lived in Peter-street, and he had been
werkiogiu the stone-yard of the workhouse up to the com-
mencement Of the present meek. He teceivel a shilling a
day, besides; some bread ; and on this they were enabled
to exist, but the parochial authorities had now dimi-
nished the employment one half, so that he only received
three shillings it week-and some bread. On this, finding
it inipoSsible to live and pay rent, they applied to the
workhouse for adMission, but were refused it.
Mr. COMM directed inqiiity to be made into the matter.
