CITY POLICE COURT.

Monday, August 28. (Before E. ff. Ward, Esq., and J. Black, Esq., J.P's.) Drunkenness.—Thos. Hill, James Savage; and Charles Buer were all fined 103, in default twenty-four hours 1 injprißonmentV John Adams, against whom there were two charges, prisojiev having again got intoxicated after being liberated on bail, 20s, or forty-eight hours' on each. Elizabeth Charlotte Frederick was fined 40s, or forty-eight hours'. A LrvitT Qui^TßrrK:-~Elizabeth-Char-lotte Frederick (who persistently pleaded that she made use of no languages what-1 soever), Flora Carter, Anne Vaughan, Elizabeth Powell, atid- Edward Williams. were all charged with using obscene language in a brothel in. Machines right-of-way at 12.30 this morning.—Mr Ward : I was in hopes these characters had been cleared out of .that locality.—-Inspector Mallard: lam afraid the locality is too chronic to get rid*>f them altogether. They go away sometimes, but come back again.—Mr Ward: I should have thought that the landlords would have taken some steps to get rid of them.— Inspector Mallard : They are too good tenants. It is no use mincing matters ; that is the extent of it.—Mr Ward : I fear such is the case.—ln fining each of the prisoners 40a, or, in default, three days' imprisonment, Mr Ward expressed the hope that the landlords of these houses would take into consideration the great trouble the public were put to by reason of their letting their houses to such infamous people, and especially to the detriment of those living in the neighborhood. When a sailor went to the houses, as in this case; there was a scene, and consequently considerable annoyance ; therefore it was to be hoped that the landlords would let their houses to a different class of people. Prisoners were the worst type of their class, ahd all had been more or less in gaol for various offences.— Inspector Mallard ventured the opinion that the landlords were the root of the evil, ilf they could only get at the landlords instead of theoceupiers they might be able to clear such characters. -
