SUNDAYS SORROWS.
The Products of Which were Apar-
ent in the Police Court Yes
terdsy Morning.
Lights and Shades in the Metropo-
iis-Miscelianeous Criminal
Notes.

In the police court yestC rday morning the
two youths who tried the dangerous game of
carousing around and refusing TO pay for
what they got. were fined for their foolishness
and forgetfulness, one of them $40, which, be-
ing unable TO pay, he will sojourn twenty
days upon the rock pile, earniug his bread by
the sweat of his brow and assisting the city
Ia macadamize its streets; the other was
mulcted in the sum of s., which he paid and
WENT FORTH FREE.
The object in filming these lads was 10 put
stop, il possible, to this pernicious habit, too
much in vogue, which some boys have of
"making a nj lat OF it," raising rows, refusing
to pay for what they order, and disturbing
the peace generally. Even more rigorous
measures will be adopt d by the police in the
| future If these miljer antidotes fail, and the
| boys who are
INCLINED To BE A LITTLE WILD,
and get .'of their feeI- every now and then
had better be careful.
Richard Alexander, who is a sort of a reck-
less kind of fellow, was fined $40 for lewd and
lascivious conduct, in keeping company with
a woman not his wife. and living in open
concubinase with her. A very light punIsh-
ment for a crime of that nature, but Richard
may possibly reform.
AMONG THE LowLY.
Several cases of stre.t-walking, drunken
ness, and vagrancy were disposed of by fines,
commitments and reprimands, either one of
which seemed to have just rs much effect
upon the criminal as the other. 1t makes
little difference whether a man is fined s. or
500, or let loose with a repr msnd; he feels
'ust the same; ; his respect for the law is Just
as il was before. although, ii must be admit
ted, his disgust may possibly be heightened
if he is jagged for one hundred days and sent
to the city rock-pile.
THREE Rad EGGS.
John Flanagan and Charles Douglas. who
were arrested for drunkenness and vagrancy
were fined, the former SIS and the latter SO.
They are bad eggs, and hail directly from st.

whom they gave a watch to pawn. He pawned
the same, but the article was subsequently
