She declared she had not, and explained that her blown appearance arose from crinoline, which she and every lady in the land considered as very becoming, whatever the gentlemen might say on the subject. He hinted to her that her crinoline petticoat was of extra dimensions and handed her over to a female searcher, who stripped her in a private cabin, took the three petticoats lined with cigars from her person, and brought her out again with her size diminished to reasonable proportions, as she now appeared. . . . . .  Mr.rYardley—The prisoner is not wearing crinoline now. The Officer—No, sir. Mr. Yardley—l thought not. She appears to be dremed in a very proper manner. The Offioer—Yes, air. Mr. Yardley—You will have no faith in crinoline again. The Officer—Never, sir. I shall always suspect every woman who wean crinoline.  Lacy Calais, a married woman, aged 31, was brought beford Mr. Yardley, charged with attempting to commit suicide in the waters of the London-dock. On Monday night, at a late hour, the prisoner was seen to leap from the New Oravel-lane-bridge, Bhadwell, into the entrance lock of the Sheiwell basin. A waterman, named William Driscoll, climbed over the bridge, held fast by his hands to the railings, and called to the prisoner to to his legs. She immediately availed herself of the mesas of sseapq and seized hie legs, to which she clung until deep and boathooks were procured, and she was taken out of the water.  Driaooll, in answer to quesdons by the magistrate, said the enter in the entrance look was 26 feet deep, and it was running like • &lobos, owing to the powerful engines of the dock company pumping in water from the Thames. It wee a most dangerous position for him to be in, and he was almost exhausted end about to let go the rails when a rope wee brought. The woman grasped his legs tightly to save herself from drowning. Simpson, a police sergeant, No. 21 IC, confirmed the evidence of lisooll, who, he said, displayed great courage, and certainly saved the pronee's life. The woman was very ill when taken out of the water.  The prisoner, in defence, end she had been robbed of a little money, which preyed on her mind, and she ocninsenced drinking to excuse, and then jumped into the water, with the determination of terminating her existence. She was now very sorry for what she had done, and would not repeat the offence.  The prisoner'. husband said he borrowed a loan of 81. last Thursday, and he gave his wife 11. to go a-shopping with. They both bad a little more to drink than they ought to have done, and his wife went to the house of a friend, opposite to the public-house where they had been drinking, and lay down on a bed. When the awoke she missed her money. His wife had since been much depreemed about it, although he repeatedly told her not to " worrit " herself about it, and oonsoled hm. in every pliable way. Mr. Yardley said that both men and women would seize every opportunity of getting drunk. The ma borrowed a loan and then went out drinking with his wife, who became intoxicated and was robbed of her money. The prier:ear had jeopardised her own life and the happiness of her children by her fondness for drink. The meaner, however very soon repented her rash and wicked act, for she clung with great tenacity to the legs of the waterman. If he had let go, most probably the two would have been drowned. He would recommend the piKerr to lead a new life, abstain from drink, and attend to her family. The universal via, which produced so much crime, misery, and bleedehed, wee dratkenneen. The husband had behaved very well in the matter, and acted a kindly Mard he was not the awe of the woman attempting He should discharge the prisoner, and she ought not to forget the man who saved her life. He should not forget him, but award him 10e. from the poor-box for the courage and preemie of mind he had displayed. The prisoner said she would reward the waterman Mame future time.  ey—Yen ought, indeed, for his life was seriously jeopardised in saving yours. Now go about your basineme end keep sober in future.
