BOW.STILEET.

Sit squalid dirty fellows, who called thumselves cads to the hack-
ney coaches attending at the info Theatres, were brought up from
Covent Garden watch,bouse, and charged by .Mr. Thomas, the con-
stable, with being idle and suspicious characters, who lutked about
the Theatres every night for the purpose of robbing the car-
riages. It was proved that the prisoners were not connected with
hackney coaches in any way whatever, and two of the (bikers de-
posed to their being reented thieves, In addition to thiss.the con-
stable of the Theatre said he saw them open the doors of several
carriages and look into them. Their defence ,A as, that being out
of work, they went to the Theatres to pick up an honest penny by
calling coaches for the company.
Mr. Thomas stated that fellows of the prisoners description had
become' so great a nuisance, that the managers of bothtbeatres had
requeooted him to use his endeavours to get lid of them. The defence
they set op was untenable, for they were never employed td call
coaches, there being at each house a certain- number of ticketed
men for that porpoise.
Sir it. Slaws was fully aware of' the annoyance vagabonds like
the prisoners occasioned to the frequenters of the theatres, besides
11 the jeopardy in which the carriages were placed by ;heir presence.
It was high time they wereinit 'a stop to; and, in the hopes the
severity of the punishment would be a warning to them and their
fellows not to offend in like manlier, again, he would commit them
all to one month's hard labour in the douse of Correction.

Mr. Roosts—. Have you any thing to say in defence of this charge ?
Proctor—Your Worship, she swears to it, and that is enough, I
believe. However, your Worship, I do not deny it; for, meeting
her one day in Whitechapel, she looked leeringly at me, tipped
me the wink, and I followed her; that hall I know of the matter,

Mr. Recess—Then you *hall find bail. He immediately entered

UNION-HALL
Four medical students wetie.yesterday brought before Mr.. 22
for what Is vulgarly called& " drunken row." It seems the
men saw the defendants, between two and three e:dvelt that
morning.reeling along the streets, declaring they would " haven
lark !" The watchmen very properly interferes', and desired theta
to proceed quietly along the streets. unless they were anziou. to visit a
watchhouse. Disregarding the intimation ,if the watchmen, the
defendants all declared that.they would do as they pleased. They
then proceeded to make a great noise, and canoed several people to
get out of their beds, to inquire what was the matter. It was at
length necessary to secure them. and lock them up in the neatest
watcbhuuse.

Were they intoxicated? inquired the Magistrate.
They were, answered the watchmen, very much in liquor.
Indeed you speak falsely, ejaculated one of the young Gentlemen.
They then were asked of what Hospital they were students? to
which an answer was rettoned, "of Guy's !"
. And pretty Guys you were, observed the night constable, when
you were brought to the watch house.
After some further remarks, the students were fined Ss. for being
in a state of intoxication, and tileckazged.
