POLICE.
THURSDAY.
ELISABETH QUIN, assigned to Mr. MAXWELL, was brought up on a charge of insolence and refusing to work. Her master clearly proved the case against her. The prisoner in her defence said that it was all about roasting a herring on the tongs, when she had been without meat for three days, she had a herring to make up for it. The Bench considered that the herring was not the head and front of her offending, sent her for two months to the third class factory.
