Drunk.

--George Ward, a white man, was carried before the Head of Police yesterday, charged with being in the street in a drunken condition. George attempted to excuse himself by saying that he was not the only one that might have been found at large in the peculiar predicament referred to. To this the sitting Magistrate demurred with a frown of virtuous indignation. He was sure that his police were vigilant, and had gathered in all the scattered remnants of humanity liable to the charge of being corned. The defendant had evidently seen double. Being a soldier, he took pleasure in easing his own conscience of the offence of interfering with the military arm by transferring Ward to the custody of the Provost Marshal, to be dealt with as circumstances might seem to require. The ‘"devotee of Bacchus"’ was sent under guard in search of the functionary last alluded to.
