Dronk.en.ness.— William Clifton .Goldie, arrested by Constable Eares, and a previous offender, was fiued 10', for having been.,, drunk and incapable in Oxford Terraro ? yesterday afternoon. > Vagrancy. — Mary Holmes, a woman of loose character, brought up yesterday on 'a"'" charge of larceny, but dismissed from insufficiency of evidence, was charged, under the , Vagrant Act, with having been drunk and ' disorderly in Peterborough street yesterday. " From the evidence of two witnesses, it appeared that there was a great row in the street, and prisoner did not deny the offence. ••* His Worship said prisoner's case appeared quite a hopeless one, there being no less than sixteen previous convictions against her, and she would therefore be sentenced to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Communicating with Prisoners.-— Sarah Hayward, a previous offender in various disreputable ways, was brought up in custody , for having communicated with female prisoners in the Armagh street lock-up yester-__ day. Mr Topping, the gaoler, proved the offence, adding that he had previously cautioned prisoner, and that there was a great' deal of this annoyance going on. His" Worship said it must be put a stop to id;' some way, and sentenced prisoner to one week's imprisonment, with hard labour.
