at the same bar tinny times before upon charges arising front her
drunkenness, was brought up in the custody of Taylor, the street.
keeper of Aldersgate Ward, as a disorderly."
Old Taylor Is quite a character, and it would not be possible to
produce his fellow. He is a tall, lusty, sinewy man, with a most
powerful voice ; and there is not a beadle in London so proud of
his livery, so stately in his gait, or so solemn and elaborate in the
delivery of his accusations ; and yet there is usually a qsaintnem la
his descriptions, and an honest bluntness of mahner, which irre.
sinibly provoke laughter, and will sometimes lead the Aldermen
to unbend their gravity a little, and draw him out for the amuse.
went of the auditory. Yesterday, however, Taylor had evidently
predetermined to keep a curb upon his tongue.
" Weil, Mr. Taylor," said Sir Pares Lauelg, what have you
to state against this pour woman?"
Why, Sir Peter, I was going my rounds last evening," replied
the beadle, " it were a little before nine o'clock, the guns were
firing at the time."
Sir Purses.-1.1141 you hear the guns firing?
Taylor, who is an old soldier, paused for a moment while an
toward struggle was going on whether he would or would not er...
patiate upon the subject of the guns, but be answered laconically,
" I did. In Foster.lane, Sir Peter, I saw this woman lying on the
pavement as drunk as mortal ever was, your Worship."
And you beard the info &lag at that time?" said the A.
demean.

This renewed the conflict between the beadle's discretion and Ids
ardent imagination, but it dashed across his mind that the observe.
non was but a trap for him; the colour new momentarily into his,
cheeks, and be replied, "Sir Peter, I heard the guns ; but, your
Worship, that has nothing to do with the cases"—(Laughter).

" Well, then, goon," said the Alderman.
remonsterated with the woman, but I could not gat
rid of her. r ltlother Mott, I know you well," said I, fcir she ban
old customer of mine, your worship. " Here you ate again
breach of the pace." She kicked and she beat, and (lowering the
pitch of his voice) was so Indecent, your Worship, that I was in
duty bound to take her into custody."
The prisoner said she had been eta to work, where spirits were
given to her, and she got an extra glass coating home.
Sir Pawn—You said, Mr. Taylor, that she was an old customer ;
bow long is it since you had her in custody before?
Taylov—Twelve months, your Worship ; and I was in good
hopes she was dead, to tell ye the truth.—(Laughter).
Sir Prrao—lf I dismiss her now, perhaps she will promise you
not to trouble you again for twelve months to come.

Taylor (baviling In the old woman's ear)—Will you promise not
to be troublesome again for two years to come?
Yea, said old Hannah, I am going to Coventry
shall never return.

r, and I

Taylor was satisfied with this promise, and the prisoner was
dismissed.
