POLICE INTELLIGENCE
MONDAY.
Before GILBERT ELLIOTT, P.M., and NELSON LAWSON, Esquires.
…
JANE McFARLANE, assigned to MR. MOORE, of Phillip-street, was charged with disorderly conduct, and drunkenness. It appeared that, on the previous night, about twelve o’clock, MR. MOORE’s eldest daughter was disturbed by hearing the prisoner and a man talking loudly, and drinking, in the kitchen. MISS MOORE informed her father of the circumstance, and he arose, dressed himself, and proceeded to the kitchen, where he found the prisoner, and a man named GEORGE RUTLEDGE, belonging to MR. HOPKINS, in a disgusting state of drunkenness. MR. MOORE immediately went to the watch-house for a constable to give the parties in charge, but when INSPECTOR FOX arrived the man had left the house. The prisoner was sentenced to two months in the third class of the Factory, the first and last weeks in solitary confinement.
