WINDSOR...
APRIL 14...
Mary Goodwin was charged with being drunk and a little disorderly. Mary is an elderly woman; her son was ordered for transportation two days ago; she had travelled twelve miles to say "farewell;" acquaintances more frequently invite to "the bottle" than "the board;" she had drunk too freely, the effects are common. Mary, you are this time to be pitied. Fined five shillings to the poor, but being unable to pay, was allowed a few days to make up the fine - "god bless you, gentlemen, Micky Conner will pay you!"

Joseph Spiturniy, commonly called "Maltese Joe", had caused Mary Goodwin to be brought before their Worships by a warrant, to answer the complaint of having disabled his arm, and other parts of his body, and other wrongs to the said "Joseph" that she had done, contrary to the peace of our Lord the King. Instead of bringing Mary to Court, an Englishman would have courted her, but "Maltese Joe" cannot hear that "Little Micky Connor" should be his rival. Old people are foolish as well as young ones, in their way. Mary ordered to find securities to keep the peace - Micky Connor, at her elbow, performed the kind office of surety, and sure he could do no more for her; but Tim Connor with a friendly air came forward, and paid the fees. There is true friendship in these little matters among poor people, and Mary knows how to express her gratitude.
