THE POLICE COURTS.
AT ESSEX MARKET.

delheraiel, drunk on other peoples liquor mas never
been satisfactorily decided; but it weauthenti-
Gated fact that in this city, young America juvenile
Ireland and ado!csccnt Germany make an annual point
OF drinking themselves into all the various stages OF
intoxcstion exhibiting all the fantastic antics incident
thereto and stonng for their Gbulous performances
the next day BY the avengng and unavoidable nausea
and headache. That some Of these willing martyrs to
a iucy custom should find themselves compelled to
pas few hohrs in the Station House by way OF
finale 10 their New Years sport is contamination no.
to be wondered at and it Is truth that not only the
regular and reliable drinkers and the ordinary quaint
Of beolted wretches who sleep nightly in the prison
or the street are cared for NewYears night in The
Station Houses but that many who are for tire
hundred and sixty days of the year decent and re-
spectacle, pass this holiday night in state of somno
leu, stupidity in the watch- House whence they make
their appearance the next morning before the Justice
in condition of semi-sobor repentance, with swollen
eyes matted hair and dsordered and filthy dress and
although not rnfrequeny contaminated by the elected
contents Of overcharged stomach all unconscious

Eichteen.ffty-six vas no exception to the general
rule This morning, when the various lOck-ups dis
forged their human contents, the revelations were in
terestng, even to richness. The congregation at Es
sex Market unusually large, and the fatherly ad
moni.ious and chastenings of Justice Brennan
lis.eoed to with attention and submitted TO with hui
mty. Although the police had exercised the discre
ton customary in such in making their arrests
and had LEI every man alone who sober enough
to tel. his boots from onehorse cutter, there
twenty-hree of intoxcation very gross that
even this wide margin failed their skirts, brought be-
fore Justice Brennan this morning. Those who had
enjoyed their holiday by getting beastly drunk and
had not created any disturbance, discharged.
Their names were as follows: George Gould, James
Allison, James Mshoney, John Garter, james McCor-
mick, Albert Games, Thomas j. Randall, John Han
non, Charles Miner, James Keenan, Robert Lamarne,
John Caughln, and John Farrell.
Those unfortunates who were crazy drunk and IN
deytook to kick up independent row, were served
out with the customary decimation-s10 or ten days.
There are but few o. sc-Mortmer Flock, William
Muroy, John Peach, Ellen Canning, and William
Holmes.
William BoylaDd threatened to whip his wife Ellen,

Albert Van Noetrand was complained of for assault

Thomas McCanley had no money to hire horse and
being determined to have New Years ride at all haz-

belonging to Mr.. Jane Ross which, with the horses,
He drove about the city fcr about four hours, and
having broken the sleigh that he could use it no
longer. he msgnanimously returned the eqIipage to
the street he took FROM and was arrested in the act
of tying the horse to the fence. Committed for

instruction of Mary's grandmother did not save her

The attendant officer produced Il specimen of
humanity which was apparently full-hedged young
American in full state Of premature decay. He was
