Small Array OF Prisoners and No Serious
ORSlccs-TwO Ladies with Classic Cog
nOncns-A Big Joke ON n Tipsy Gcntlc-
mn-EIc Goes to Get Out His Girl and
GEES Locked UP.
Solething remarkable occurred at Jefferson
Marlst yesterday morning-the returns from the
Twety eighth, Twenty-a fifth and Ninth precincts
wereblank. There was dearth Of prisoners from
the cher precincts also. From the Twenty-ninth
then were only two, one for intoxication
and the other disorderly conduct; four
from the Sixteenth, equally divided between
Drunkenness and disorderly conduct. From the
Tw@tieth there were marched five prisoners
one[or intoxication, one disorderly one habitual
intCicatiOn and two for violating the Excise law
by teepng their saloons open after one O'Clock the
previous night: They were promptly discharged
byJustice Cox, who presided as committing magis-
trde. From the Eighth precinct there were six,
five OF whom were fallen women, and had been
gathered of the sidewalks, drunk and quarrelling,
th night before. They were all sent on the Island
torusticate and get the bad Eighth ward gin
worked out Of their systems. The sixth .pri-
soier, named John w: Brown, Of l63 Prince
No, 500 Broome street, with grand larceny. He
was locked up for examination. The Fifteenth pre-
circt sent the largest return, numbering nfseen,
futon in Wooster street, kept by a Madean
Gerard. She was ordered to find bail in $500 for
trial. and for the girls 1t was $40 fine or ten days
on the rural suburb known as Blackwell's Island,
favOrite summer resort for the young ladies OF the
dernt-naOnde. The only serious charge was for
false pretences. against two middle-aged
females with decidedly suspicious ,air about
them. One exulJed in the classic and euphOnious
cognomen OF Bridget McSwiggan, and the other
gave her patronymic as Margaret McMallen. They
were arrested by Ohcer Henry McCadden. They
were remanded to the station house till the COM
plainant would appear against them. The only In
cident to relieve the dull monotOny OF the day was
the locking up Of tipsy individual who had asked
for the discharge of an Eighth ward female footpad
He was given commitment for himself for intOXi-
cation Instead of discharge for "hs GAL"
Armed with this document, which he fondlv
believed would give liberty to his dulcnea he went
down stairs to the prison offices and Haunted the
parallelogramshape parchment in the face of
Tom Smith, the keeper. Tom read 1t and told him
to walk into the corridor each side OF which are
arranged the cells. In he walked, his heart bound
ing with Joy at the prospect of an immediate salute
from the Idol of his noble heart whom ne expected
to lead out to light and liberty on his arm like a
bride to the altar His surprise, Indignation and
disgust may be imagined When Mr.. Smith closed the
door behind him and called to the man who has
charge of the cells to lock him up in cell No. 8. In
he was rushed and there he sweated for two hours.
Being then comparatively sober, he was released.
He was then accorded an interview with his LADY
love- who gave him the KEY OF her room, at 30 West
Houston street, and 81 note to get himself cock
tail and beefsteak.
