At the Stratford Police Court, George Miller, butcher, was charged with being found concealed in a cupboard at 1 Holly Terrace, Holly Boad, Leytonitone, sup* posed for the purpose of committing ft felony. Mark Bean, builder, of the above address, stated that he was looking round his house to see that all was safe before retiring to bed, when he found the prisoner conoealed in a cupboard, apparently being asleep. The servant was called downstairs, and stated the prisoner was her intended. I then gave him into custody. I questioned the girl this morning, aud she then stated that she had been out walking with him last evening, and as it was rainiag she thought she would give him 'jLnighti lodging in the cupboSjdT Tfie girl has been in my employ for some months, and bears a good charaoter. She is iv court now. Mr Johnstone—Well, then, let Emma itand up. (Laughter.) The ser-_ rant stated: she had known the prisoner for two years, and he was a very respectable young man. She had let him into the house on the previous night, but not to sleep there. Mr Johnstone—But you gave him leave to stay in the cupboard ? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr Johnstone— Well, it was a very wrong thing to do, as you lay him open to being accused of being there for an unlawful purpose, and yourself to other imputations which, no doubt, would be. undeserved. But we will take your account of it now, and (to prisoner) take oare that you don't do that sort of thing again. Prisoner was tben discharged. An Advertiser's Natural History.— This is how a manufacture* of cod-liver oil defies competition—«" The codfish of the open sea is pursued by the whale, the shark, &c, and lives in continual terror, and hence, like all animals under the same conditions, has liver disease, jaundice, and the rest. I avoid the mistake of ordinary manufacturers by obtaining my fish where no marine monster can obtain access. They live peaceably and die healthy. That is why my oil is the belt."
