IMPUDENCE. A prisoner of the Crown, named HENRY MULHOLLAND, was, on Tuesday morning, charged with being in a public house, and sentenced to fourteen days’ confinement in the cells, and be returned to Government. On leaving the dock, he thanked the Bench, in a most impudent manner, for sending him out of such a miserable place as Parramatta. The Bench ordered him to be put back in the dock and sentenced him to worked in the House of Correction for two months, as a reward for his impertinence.
