often missed papers when the prisoner had been in the room before,
be caused him to be watched, and charged him with laving the
paper as be was leaving the room. Upon this the prisoner took
off his hat, and the prosecutor found the paper in It. He did
wish to deal severely with the prisoner, but would be satisfied if a
slight fine, to be given to some public charity, could be imposed
on him.
Sir Mcrae., Mama said he bad no power to do any suck thing;
it was as much a &May as the westing of any other thing. There
were cases, and perhaps this was one, in which such a power might
be useful. It was a very proper case for prosecotion.
The prisoner made no answer to the charge, but requested to he
remanded to St. Martin's watch-house for a couple of days.
Sir RICAMID Basra said that request could not be complied
with ; the prisoner must take his chance in Tothfil Fields prison.

The former replied, Elisabeth Shepherd; the latter said, Ann
Thorogood.
Sir ItICJIMPAD Beaune—What! Ann Thoregood?
Forde—lt is a girl in boy's clothing, Sir Richard.

guise put on?

the other said they were fellow-servants, and wanted to go to see
the fire-works on Wednesday eight, but being afraid to go with-
out a male protector, the other one put on the clothes of a young
gentleman In the house.
Sir 'bemoan—Why you should have put them on yourself; you
are the tallest and biggest—(A laugh). Let us see what sort of
wider garments you have got—(turning aside the girl's great coat,.
Ob, very good, a waistcoat and trousers ; but why did you ring
the bell ?

The girl began to cry, bet made no answer.
Sir Rura,u the. admonished them on the folly and danger of
their conduct, for it might kad to a serious charge to be found so
disguised in the streets, but said he should send them about their
business this time.

The girl-boy made a low curtsey, and thanked Sir Richard, at
which there was a loud laugh in the office.
Sir iticuaan—Why, yes should have made a bow. and not
curtsey its that dress. Cm about your business.

leaving the vessel, It was discovered, had something in Ms hat,
which almost prevented its remaining on his head, and, on a con-
stable examining it, a pound of cigars was foetid inside. The man's

bar, manifested an indifference to her mo.her's fectings seldom
witnessed. Whilst the parent was relating, with tears oteaming
down her cheeks, the profligate conduct et her child, the latter
laughed and derided her grief.

wretched females, who persuade her so steal any thing which she
can place her hands on, and then the property is pledged and
squandered in dissipation.. On Monday i.ijht she contrived to
