Transcribed by Emily Smith. Geo. Carlisle Patriot Friday, April 9th, 1880 CHARGE OF PERSONATING LORD RAMSAY.—At the Liverpool Police Court, Robert RAMSAY, a middle-aged man, was charged with stealing a pair of marine glasses. A pawnbroker's assistant said that the prisoner gave the name of Lord RAMSAY.— Mr. RAFFLES: Do you believe him?—Well, I don't know.— Mr. RAFFLES: Your common sense should have told you he was not Lord RAMSAY. Lord RAMSAY is quite a young man; and besides you would not expect him to pawn his things. (Laughter.) When apprehended the prisoner, it was stated, had a pawn ticket with the name of "Lord RAMSAY" written on it.— When asked what he had to say the prisoner replied that his name was RAMSAY, and that he only put "Lord" before it. (Laughter.) "Lord RAMSAY" was a nickname they gave him. What he had done was through drink, and he was very sorry for it.— Mr. RAFFLES said drunkenness was no excuse for crime. He would deal with the case as one of illegal pledging. Prisoner must pay 7s and a fine of 40s and costs, or got to gaol for a month. -- Emily Smith
