THE VASICAK? Oction.—ashcan Hodges was again brought rap
yesterday before Sir Cr.aumes S. 111/rase, and having undergone
the operations of shaving and washing, would have presented a
pretty tolerable appearance but for his long and bushy hair, the ce-
remony of" the cut," as it is termed, never taking place in the
Compter against the prisoner's consent till after a heal com m itment.
In order to place it beyond doubt that the prisoner was the de-
scription of character clearly within the meaning of the late Vagrant
Act, the evidence against him was again very minutely gone into ;
and in addition to the statement of Scanlan, it appeared on reference
to former minutes, that the p‘iioner had been apprehended in
bruary last, by Turner, the street-keeper, of Fleet-street, who found
hint begging at the corner of Bride's
-passage. That Scanlan, in
July, found him on board some of the barges ; and that the ac-
count he then gave of himself was that be lived ill Gardiner's-lane,
by the water-side, And was in the habit occasionally of selling
jewellery. The suspicion at that time was, that he bad the inten-
tion of drowning himself ; he, however, then disclaimed it, and
when offered a couple of shillings by the Magistrate to relieve his
apparent distresses, be indignantly declined accepting it. This evi-
dence having been read,
Sir CLAUDIIPI, addressing him, said—" You have given yourself
..nd me a great dial of trouble, and have now been in custody for
three days, and all because your ideas are so magnificent that you.
will not condescend to give any account of yourself. What have you
now to say ?
Prisoner.—l have nothing more to say than that I have been
brought here three times without giving any provocation for it
whatever, or committing any offence.
Sir CLAW/In.-I'oy were found lurking about at night under cir-
cumstances of suspicion, and you refuse to give any satisfactory ac-
count of yourself.
Prisoner.—l went *ere for 'nurses which neither decency nor
delicacy allow me to describe further.
Sir Ccaumul.—Hare you any friends to speak to your character?
Prispner..—None. I have respectable persons who know me,but
in my present circumstances *id situation (looking significantly
down at his wretched attire) they would probably not choose to at-
tend here to my character; butt do not acknowledge that I have I
committed any fault.
Sir CzArours.—That is what you hate said over anal over again,
and you will not be convinced. All I rein do IN if ytao will nut give
any account of yourself, to commit yop to hard labour for one
month as an idle and disorderly person, and it will probably mend
both your appearance and your health.
Priapster.-oslf it Is to be so severe, I may probably get some one
to speck for me to-morrow.
Sir Cs.amous.—You had already have three days to do that, and
I shall tberefore now commit you. However, if in a abort time. ou
can lasing forwlird anybody to convince me that you have hottest
means of getting your livelihood, your punishment shall be short.
The primmer submitted without further remonstrance, and was
removed from the bar.
