The prisoner was Catherine Ell lis (16)) a domestic servant of Dee Yiew, Ffyn- nongiroew. and stealing articles to iifhe value of E2,2, the property of Mrs Bithell, a school-mistress.

The Vies.' now got going and forced the game, and after some brilliant combined play scored. They came again and were swarming around the Guild goal, and before the call of time had scored two more goals.

(EldiwiaTd Jones, laibiourer, of 123, Yale Boad, was charged with. being drunk 'and disorderly cn Ottcber 20ith at High Street. Etuendana only denied irlie charge but alleged that i,t was a imade-up affair. ,P.C. Lewlis .seated that at 10-45 p.m. he found fhedefelllbnJt committing a | nuisance in Higdi Strcot. He was also dnuink. He spoke ito ;him as ^0 his con- duct, and tiie defendanit used bad lan- g'tiQ.ge, and was very insuMdng. As he deckned go liome quieitly, he was obliged tu icek him uip. Defendant: Since this offence have you not taken ia donkey out of tIny field Y Do yiou not owe me lid when y<ju tossed in a .p.U'blic-h'ouse and had no money to pay r iWiiitness: Have you anything else to say. against me Y The Ghiaiirman: Keep to tihe case. It is a question wlhBtlher you weie drunk or noit. Defendanit: Tlliey took a sovereign from ni'e for bail, and it hen the Sergeant said, You rwilifgo in for a while," and ithey IPuJt me in the ("eUs far the night (Laughter). 1 D'avid Diaries, of Crescent Boad, sta- ffed that t'he defendant YRt-is drunk and stbouitimg. ,S AValliaims, of Bodfor Street, said itliiait tlhe defendant scuttled wiith t'he pol- ice and used filithy iangua.ge, but he ■could not say /that he was drunk. P.S. said thait the defendant was .both di-uiiili and disorderly at the Police Station, and the had .to lock him up to keep him quiet. Defendant alleged that he had seen the 'Sergeant knock a man in the Police •Sir&tion umtiil hliood gushed from his head. Insfpedhor Pearson said he sawT the defendant earlier in fhe evening very drunk, ibuit on tlhe advice of his wife he pulled himself t-ogeither as he passed witness, and said Good-night." Later on he saiw ,the idefeiidiant iad the Police (Station, and he was then behaving like a madman, kicking the eell door and s'houitiing. Defendanit: Did you not Oipen the door Y Wi'tness: Yes, and told you to lie do win. I also showed you wihere you had been kicking the door. Defendanit: You opened the door, and hit me until I was rolling. Witness: I have had to keep an extra mtan .in Yale "Boad in consequence of ihe defendant's conduct. Deteindanit ISla id it was all a lie, and he then alleged thalt P.C. Lewis had been guillty of immorality. Si uFQt. appealed to the Bench to protect the police, and saiclltlhait it was not right .that the defendant should •.make such (general charges in open Court. He believed that "they were alf (groundless, bult if lie had a complaint to mlake against the police he should lodge them with him (Supt. Jones), and he would igo fully into the maimer. It was most oibjeictiowaible do bring charges of thalt kind to Court. The defendant's clfmduot that day wa-s but a sample or what he was like in the Streets. Defendant denied the charge, and was fined 10s and 0:s costs. He paid the money, and said that he had not had justice. ALLEGED 8TAHBISG. Jane Lloyd, 17, Gas Street, charged Ellen Uhalioner, of 11, Gas SitretJt, with unlawfully wounding her. The prose- cutrix appeared bandaged up, and she ,said slhewallted the case withdrawn, as ishe wanted to be on friendly terms with it,lie defendant, who vvas ilier neighbour. The Chairman pointed oult th-art the case could net be withdrawn jwiithout the cio use lit of the Puhi i-c Prosecutor. Defendant: I wiish it to go on. Prosecutrix: You said you wdshed the case settled. I islhall have to- .get a doctor's certificate. x n" f <> _11 11 J.1, JJ'et'eiKiant: Lja xinon you aiio w uie ease to be seittled Y AA-e want to live as neighlxHirs. We have mlade it up, and I am going to live in another street. The Bench adjourned the case for a week, and bound the defendant over. The parties let; the Court together, apparently the best of friends. DPrXK. John Jones, of 5, Boston Place, plea- ded .guilty to being drunk and disorder- ly on Oct. Otlh. He was fined 2s Gd and costs. GOU AWAY. QIrs Baitcliferd, of GO, Yictoria Itead, had suimimoned her liu'sl^and for persis- It c, nit cruelty, but as the .man had left the town, and was (already toound over to be of good behaviour for six months, Mrs Batchford was prepared to withdraw the case, and the 'Bench agreed to that course. XlEIGHBOr B S' QUABBiELS. Mrs Amelia Jones, of Gerddi Terrace, Cefndy B>oad, changed her neighbour, John Jkiines, with assiault and battery. Mr Joseiph appeared for the complainant, and, said that the defen- dant .believed that the old lady had corn, plained of this conduct to the landlord, but ther.e wais no trutih in .such a sugges- tion. Defendanit on the IGth of Octo- ber entered the homse and struck the old lady and had also hit her over the head wiitlh a tin can. It wa's a mons- trous tilling that a young fellow could asslault an old lady in her own house. Mrs Jones corroborated this story. Defendant gia,ve, -a denial to this, and said thait. lie merely remonst rated with her for calling his wife names. He heard a bother in tihe house, but did not interfere, as he knew that husbands and wives often had a tiff. He opened the door, and woman-like the defendant be- gan to use her fingers (Laughter). He did not assault the old lady, and Was too •much of ia .man to assiauUt his own wife (Laughter). In tlhe abisence of corroiblorative evid- ence, the Bench dimnissed the case. RATES. No less tjh.an 70 persons were sum- moned for rates, and in one case a de- fendant appeared and said he did not pay .rates. He agreed -wiith. the agent

Why is if," asked an inquisitive customer in an umbrella shop, tb-»fc one can never roll up an umbrella as compactly and neatly as it » rolud up when he buys it ?" "You can, if you Chly know how." said the shopkeeper, "but if everybody knew Low, it would mean less busi- ness for us. The umbrella voisld lagt lor and there would bo much less work for th pairers. Perhaps 1 ought rob to tell you no v., but it's so simple you should k'ow. If you have noticed, nearly everybody who rolls up an um- brella takes hold of it by the handlo, and keep* twisting the stick with one hand, whilo he folds and rolls with the otnoi*. Now. that's just whoif '.he mistake comes in. Instead of twisting witl» the handle, he should take Isold of it just above the points of the rover ribs. These points naturally lie evenly round the stick. Keep hold of these, pressing them tightly against tho stick, and thplI roll up tle roypr. Holding the ribs prevents them from getting twisted out of vlace or bending out of shape. Then the "tic hill fold evenly and roll sinoothlv ma tightly."

Tho relationship of hostess and guest, whea kicdly and thoughtfully carried out, act as a kind of moral tonic on both, says Srrith'a Weekly. The endeavour to be a charming guest brings into play all the unused of character, so to speak, and develops them. Many a victorious struggle agairst little seliish- nesi-ies is made in a guest-room that never could !iav<? happened anywhere else; and many a re- pealing light upon one's own defects first daHIII through the guest-room window. Cheerfulneea is ono of the chief graces of the guest, so an ability to Indulge in fun, and an inability to Lave headaches. A guest with a headache is a martyr if she does not tliew it; and if sha shews it, and gives up, it casts a gloom. Abso- lute punctuality and order are necessary, of coi;n>e.
