Robert Thomas BELT, not alleged to be any connection of Ben of that ilk, pleaded guilty to drunkenness - discharged with a caution. The notorious Thomas CAMPBELL was again brought up at the R.M. Court yesterday, and was charged on three informations with doing wilful damage at a house of ill-fame, assaulting Sarah ROWE, an inmate of the house, and with causing a breach of the peace outside the house. He pleaded not guilty.....he was sentenced to six weeks' hard labor (without option) on the first charge; was fined £2 and costs on the second, and was ordered to find sureties to keep the peace for twelve months on the third. The alternative in the second case was a month's hard labor, to commence when the first sentence expired. Failing the requisite sureities he will remain in gaol a year.
