Elizabeth Rees, a drunken and disoiderly prostitute, was he next put forward. P.C. Hopkins proved that he found the prisoner on last Fri- day night, about half-past eleven, very drunk, and fighting, and on ordering her to move on, she ordered him to mind his business and move off; and finding that she violated the J*Ir«ctions the Mayor had lately given, he took her to the sta- ^on-house and locked her up. The prisoner, with much effrontery, denied all knowledge or tne matter. Mayor: Were you so very drunk, then, that you cannot re- member what you did ? Prisoner: I was sir. Mayor: Well, that's candid, and I now sentence you to re- ceive two imprisonment in the New House of Correc- "00, in solitary confinement. Elizabeth Power, who said she was Elizabeth Sewell, at was charged with drunken and disorderly conduct. The prisoner was the perfect impersonation of a drunken, nghting, and bullying she-fiend from the Fields, with a black Jtye, swollen nose, scratched face, bleared eyes, tattered gar- ents, and a bold, audacious expression of countenance, as far as any was left. Sergeant Harlow proved the case against the prisoner, and some previous history of her proceedings, from which it appeared that she had been in prison seven or eight times, for drunken and other bad conduct. Sentenced to six weeks imprisonment in the New House of Correction, at Usk, in solitary confinement. THURSDAY, JULY 13. Before the Mayor and Thomas Hughes, Esq. AN IRISHMAN IN TROUBLE.

Bath, sworn, stated, that on Tuesday evening last, at eight o'clock, he was on his beat in High street, when he saw '"e prisoner drunk, whom he ordered home. Prisoner said he had a pair of trucks down on the Tredegar Wharf. These he fetched, and brought up by the King's Head, with which he "ent towards the Castle Brewery. He returned up High street, again, with the trucks, cursing and swearing, when a person of Jhe name of Dyer took hold of him, to assist in getting hiro. home. Prisoner began to abuse him, and told him to mind his dullness. There was nothing at all on the trucks but Rn empty sack. He then came on down High street, near Mr. Latchs's, where he threw the trucks in the middle of the road, and left them, and was walking away, when Bath took him into Custody and conveyed hio rto the statton-house. He was very jj'UQk and created a disturbance. On his way to the station- "°use he was very resolute, and turned around and struck me, and gave me a bloody nose. There were from 30 to 40 persons 'here, and if a carriage came down High street some accident "ould have occurred, for the trucks were in a very dangerous place. Prisoner: I was drunk from a pipe of tobacco and a glass of ale, and by I'll take care I'll never get drunk again. Good bye to the Clock-'us, for anything I'll do not to get in ."ere again.
