the house, upon wLiell he immediately laid hold Z.! WT.by the
neck, and dragged him to the door, assisted by Sken:'.,d°n;
They both shoved him outsitie the door, and then pitcheu
him down the stone steps, by which his leg was severely
hurt. The Chairman sentenced Mr. Smith to three months'
imprisonment in the House of Correction, and the servant to
fourteen days' imprisonment in the same place. Mr. Ballau-
tine suggested that the imprisonment should be taken off Mr.
Smith on his paying 50/. to the complainant ; but the ar-

subsequently ordered Smith to enter into his own recog-
nisance in 200/., and find one surety of 1004 to appear this
day to receive judgment.
James Cook and his wife were sentenced to six months'

along the Waterloo-road, the prisoner walked up to him with
a silk pocket-handkerchief in one hand, which he thrust in
complainant's face, while with the other hand he made. a
snatch at a diamond pin in the front of his shirt. He failed
in the attempt, and Was immediately arrested. A policeman
stated that the prisoner, a few years ago, was known to be a
member of the " swell mob," at which period he used to dress
like a " first-rate swell", about town. That since then he
had gone down in the world, and was the associate of a set
of low thieves who frequented the south side of the river, and
was always to be seen lurking about the Elephant and Castle,
and other places of public resort. He was committed to the
House of Correction for two months.
