Sub Constable M'CARTHY appeared to make a charge of drunkenness against Michael FOX a hanger-on at the hotels. FOX as usual, did not appear. The service of the summons on the defendant was proved and the constable deposed that he found FOX lying drunk on the street, on the 20th. The Bench inflicted a fine of 5s, or, in default, to be imprisoned 48 hours. Mary Ann HUGHES a worn out and miserable looking prostitute, was brought up charged by Sub Constable Bernard M'GURK with having been in the streets on the 31st ult., and also with using obscene language. The prisoner had conducted herself very improper and annoyed the policeman as much as possible after being arrested. Her language had been the most disgusting description. The Bench directed the prisoner to find the usual amount of bail to be of good behaviour, or, in default, she was to go Downpatrick for 2 months.
