A REGULAR CUSTOMER.
If there has been one individual more times than any other before the Court when liberty from the Gaol or Factory permitted, the visits during the last twelve months, it has been MARY McCANN! Released from the Factory on Tuesday last, after a six months’ leave of absence from Parramatta, she curtsied to the Bench last Thursday morning, and was let off on the solemn assurance that she would betake the exhibition of her little eccentricities of character and behaviour to some other district, but justice not having bound MARY to the time “when,” Saturday night saw her again in the watch-house, charged with being drunk, and converting the premises of MR. SIMONS, the publican, in company with some favoured admirer, to such uses and purposes as the Licensing Act did not contemplate in its provisions. As no prosecutor appeared, and MARY promised to move from Parramatta forthwith, she was allowed one chance more.
