UNTIMELY VISITS. Chan A Lnk, who admitted a previous conviction of gambling, was found in a shoemaker's shop in Lascar Row this morn- ing between four and five o'clock.-Defend ant said he had gone to call at the shop for & jacket he had left there. This was denied by the master of the shop, who affirmed that he never saw the defendant before this morning,

A sentence of three months with hard labour, as a rogue and vagabond, will pro- bably teach defendant that the small hours of the morning is not a fitting time to call at people's houses for property which he may have left there.
