FIATTON-GARDEN--(Tuis DAY.)

EViTICS OF SAFFRON-HILL.
Three antiquated dames, named Benton, Simnionds and
di Eel
wards, were biOlight up in custody of the night constable of
SaffronAill Watell
mtse, charged with robbing a gentleman of
the name of Thompson of his inexpressibly+, hi the pockets of
which were his watch, seven sovereigns, and a quantity of silver.
It 9Peared-4914 Abe evidence of the gentleman, that he had
beets spending the evening with a convivial party, and having in-
dulged rather 'freely in the joys of the table, he found himself, on
gettinginto the air, somewhat in the condition of poor Michael
cassia—lie had "put an enemy in Isis head which stole away his
brains," and in this unphilosophic mood, he was met by ono of the
young ladies at the bar, who accosted him in the most dulcet syren
tones of entreaty, beseeching him to accompany her to one of those
temples of Venus, where love feels not the fetters of prudery. He,
unfortunately, was in a jesting temper, and accepted the invitation.
After a few short sweet moments of dalliance, he retired to bed,
but awoke to the utter conviction of his fair seducer's infidelity,
who had fletl, and left him destitute of his under garment, con-
taining his watch and money.
The Magistrate observed, that this furnished another instance
of the evils resulting from intemperamie.
The prosecutor admitted the truth of the remark, and declared
it should be a warning to him for the future.
Other evidence was produced in support of the charge, and
the three ladies were committed for trial, Benton as principal,
the two others as accessaries.
