complainant said that as he was going home the night before,
atbout eleven o'clock, across Williamson-stinare, a girl, the pri-
soner at the Oar, addressed hint, and he was unable to shake her
off. She followed hint to the end of the street, and then con-
trived io get het hand into his picket and get his purse out.
He then seized the girl, and called the watch. There was
another girl close by.—_3lr. Crewe appeared on behalf of the
prisoner, and cross-eaanduell complainant. Ile had nut been,
talking to any telltales in the square before. He might have,
spoken to them whilst passing. .lle teas sufficiently sober to
know what he was dOing. She was standing rather in Front 4
hint when she picked his pocket; the other girl was Four or live
yards off. She did not struggle much with him after lie had
seized her. She might have tbrown the purse behind her, mat

Half siiid that when a man was in a state iff intoxicatieu he had
a very imperfect recollection of what had occtirrefl. The day
before a girl had been brought up charged by a gentle/I:tan with
nibbing him of £33, and it turned out that he hail neier been:
rebbee at all, and had the money about hits. There was
doubt in this case, and he thought the safest course,/under alt
the circumstances, was to discharge the prisoner!

through one of the shop windows into the yard to ask her fur a
drink of water. She went down into the cellar to get it him,
and saw the watch lying in the kitchen window. Some short time

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.—Notwithstanding the exertions of the
Benevolent Society of St.. Patrick, and the strong representa-
tions of the Mayor, the various Irish clubs determined yester-
day to meet and have a procession. They accordingly formed
and paraded the town with bands of music and banners to the
number of several thousands. In 'the afternoon they met and
dined together at various inns. We have heard of no riot of
disorder, and we hope the day passed over without any of the
disgraceful scenes which occurred at the last anniversary. 'rho
Military were out parading iri small companies during the day.
