MISCONDUCT.-Yesterday Mary Gumbleton was
charged before the chief police magistrate and
Captain Bateman with misconduct in being out
after hours the night previously. The constable
stated he found her at a quarter-past ten o'clock in
the government garden. She denied that she was
out there for any improper purpose, but that she
was under the influence of liquor about eight
o'clock, and the sentry on duty seeing her so, told
her that he would put her where she would be out
of the way of the police, and that he lifted her over
into the gardon. She said she could not possibly
get there without help. She said she obtained her
livelihood by charing about. The bench sentenced her
to two months' hard labour in ihe house of correction.
The bench instructed the police to make inquiries
of the correctness of this statement, respecting
the sentry on duty at eight o'clock.
