MARLBOROUGII-STREET.-7(THts DAY.)

Daniel Swedenbour9 was charged with being disorderly, but
a watchman saying there was a more serious charge against him,
he was ordered to stand back. Two young men were then placed
at the bar, charged with being drunk, • which charge being dis-
posed of, one of them charged the last prisoner with having
robbed him of his watch while in the watch-house.

Ile stated that he was awoke by the prisoner searching his
pockets. He instinctively felt for his watch, which he discovered
had been extracted from his fob, together with Is. 6d. which he
had in his pocket. He immediately made a complaint to the
watch-house keeper, whn found the watch un4er a coat near the
form on which complainant was lying.
Daniel, who was an Irish plasterer, and an orator to boot, pro-
ceeded to " elucidate" the affair, hut, instead of clearing it up,
made it worse than before. He was remanded for ti week.

Margaret Nicholson►, a little, artless looting, pigeon teed
Cyprian, was, with another about five feet ten inches high, charged
with being disorderly last night, by Hughes Ball, a watchman.
He went on to state amusing hasn't, of the former, whom he de-
scribed as incorrigible, and was conferring *similar favour on the
other whom be designated Margaret's cruty, when Mr. Rol re-
quested a definition of his last term. Hughes was struck with
surprise; he said he thought every body knew what a eruty was,
and at last explained, that it was neither more or less than a re-
cruit, whom Margaret had inlisted ; and he finished with a
twinging sum total by saying, that she was nearly as bad as her
instructor.
The unblushing Margaret was unable to answer such a pon-
derous charge, and was with her truly, committed for ten days
to the House of Correction.
