Yesterday Julan Berke!, a person of very ittvial eppearance, w`ao
stated himself to be a Navy Officer, was charged with teirg drenk
and disorderly.
he watchman stated that he fo'ind the Gentleman lictween one
and two o'clock in the morning in Lincoln's Inn-fi.:lds, seatetl on
the stones near the railing with his hat off, and a crowd of suspicious-
looking persons about him. Ile requested hint to !cave the pluai
and go to his bed, which he would not do, and he had to lodge hint
in the watch-house.
Mr. Dena asked him what he had to say to this charge?
Mr. replied that the fact was, that he had been that evening
dining with a party of friends, where he had taken a little more
wine than usual, and that on Lis way home through Lincoln's In n-
ficlds be was induced by the beauty aed seteinty of the night to seat
himself near the railing, where he was mealy indulging himself in
observing the scenery around him, when he was interrupted by the
watchman. He thought it rattier an ex: raartlinary and most unso-
cial law, that a gentleman for getting a little merry should not only
be fisted, but locked op in a damp cold watch-house as.he had been.
What, he asked, would Mr. Diehard !Musky Sheridan, ii he had
been alive, and who, sure he was, would have no hand in framing
such an interdict to social enjoyment, say to such a law as this? as 1
what would the worthy Magistrate do if that greet man, after leaving
the social board, of which he was well koewn to be the life and sten,
was brought before him under a charge of this description ?
Duna, who could not suppress a laugh at the earliest ma: ner
in which this appeal was made to him, said that if Mr. Sheridan or
:try other Gentleman was bi ought before bins for being intoxii:eted

Mr. Lethel paid the hoe and retired.
