Drunk, dsorderly, and very abusive,'

then commenced very vague edition Of
Sod save the Queen which bv some ex-
traordinary sliding SCALE, finally developed
the last verse OF mix my Dolly which a.
gain, at the mention of the stone Jug flew
off into very apocryphal version of the
Bumper of Burgundy the es'upstanding
uncovered appeared at once to superin-
duce the opinion that greater effect would
be given to his performance by complying
with both propositions. In attempting to
assume the pei pendlcular, Mr.. Brown Bun
KEN was signally frustrated, as the result
was more perfect development Of his or
ignal horizontal redundancy, assumed at
the conclusion of very vigorous fall. To
make up for this deficiency, the suggestion
as to the singer appearing uncovered, was
achieved with more force than propriety pv
Mr.. Brown Bunkem's nearly displacing
several of the Inspectors front teeth, by a
blow from his violently hurled hat at the
respectable functonary.
What would have followed, it IS impos-
sible to say; but at this moment Mr.. Adol.
plus Casay's bail was accepted, he being
duly bound down, in the sum Of twenty
pounds, to produce Mr.. Brown Bunkem at
the magistrates office by eleven o'clock of
the following forenoon. This being settled
in spite of a vigorous opposition, with the
assistance of five half-crowns, four police
men, the driver of, and hackney coach No.
Sal, Mr.. Brown Bunkem was conveyed to
his own proper lodgings, and there left,
with one boot and splitting headache, to
do duty for a counterpart, he vehementy
opposing every attempt to make him de-
post between the sheets. Seven O'Clock
on the following morning found Mr.. AdoI.
phus Casay at the bedside Of the violently
snoring and stupldly obfusticated Brown
Bunkem. In vain he pinched, shook,
shouted and swore; inarticulate grunts and
apoplectic denunciations against the distur-
Der of his rest, were the only answers to
his urgent appeals, as to the necessity of
Mr.. Brown Bunkem's getting ready to ap-
pear before tine magistrate. Visions Of
contempt of court, forfeited bail, and con-
sequent disturbment, fitted before the mind
of the agitated Mr.. Adol phus Casay. Ten
O'Clock came; Bunkem seemed to snore
the louder and sleep the sounder. What
was to be done? why, nothing but to get
up an impromptu influenza, and try his rhe-
toric on the presiding magistrates of the
bench.
| Influenced by this determination, Mr..
Adolphus Casay started for that den of
thieves and magistrates in the neighborhood
of Bow street; but Mr.. Adolphus Casay's
feelings were any thing but enviable: though
by no means straightaced man. he had an
instructive adherence of any thing that
appeared black guard transaction. Moth
ing but kind wish to serve a friend would
have induced him to appear within mile
OF such wretched place; but the thing was
now unavoidable, SO he put the best face he
could on the matter, made his way to the
clerk OF the court, and there, in a low whis-
per, began his explanation, that being show
| Mr.. Brown Bunkem"-at this moment the
crer shouted
"Bunkem! Where's Bunk emf"
81 am here" SAID Mr.. Adophus Casay;
'shere TO-"
"Step inside, Bunkem," shouted sturdy
auxiliary; and, with considerable manual
exertion and remarkable agility, he gave the
unfortunate Adolphus peculiar twist, and
at once deposited him behind the bar and
fronting the bench.
81 beg to state" commenced the agitated
and innocent Ado plus.
"Sience, prisoner!' roared the crier.
"Wlll you allow me to say again CON-
menced Adolphus-
"Hold Your tongder' vociferated P "a.
81 must and will be heard"
"Young man." said the magistrate, lay
ing down the paper, "you are doing your.
self no good; be quiet. Clerk, read the
charge"
After some piano mumbling, the words
"drunk-abuslve--d y-inca pabe-
taking care of self--stretcher-s
house-bail," were shouted out IN the most
tortlssmo manner.
Atahe end of the reading, all eyes were
directed to the well-dressed and gentleman
ly looking Adolphus. He appeared to ex-
cite universal sympathy.
"Wha, have you to say, young mani"
"Why, your worship, the charge is true;
but"
"Oh! never mind you butts Will You
ever appear in the same situation again?"
"Upon my soul, won't, butt
"There, then, that will do, like your
sincerity, but don't swear. Pay one shiiI-
ing, and you are discharged"
"Will your worship allow me-
81 have no time, sir. Next case"
"But must explain"
"Next case. Hold your jaw! this wayr'
and the the same individual who had jerked
r Mr.. Adolphus Casay into the dock, re.jerked
} him into the middle of the court. The
: shilling was paid, and amid the laughter o.
the oilers at his anti-teetota habits, he
