Isaac Wilson, whose fgure-hcad is of the
pure Guinea style, who can boast Of heels that
never tainted with tar, and who has a pair of
lips, that from their blubber fairness would tempt
the appetite of a northern Esquimaux, was
among the prisoners before the Police Court
this morning. The witness against him was
Emily Baily, and as Deputy Marshal Gifin
called and called the said Emily in vain, Isaac

nearing her quite closely when the Waterman
nabbed him.
