A Woman* Passing as a Man pob Thirteen Ykabs.—The Warrington Guardian states that a woman named Elizabeth Taylor appeared before the Warrington bench of magistrates on a charge of being drunk and disorderly. She appeared in the dock in male attire, and the chief constable, in detailing some of her antecedents, stated that she was the daughter of a gentleman who formerly lived at Penketh, near Warrington; she had been married, but her husband was killed twenty-one years ago. She commenced to wear male attire thirteen years ago, and was employed as a sailor during the American war, and made several trips from South Wales to the American coast in order to supply the Alabama and blockade runners with coals. She was well known by the names of Happy Ned and Navy Ned, and for some time past had worked as a laborer on several farms in the neighborhood of Warrington, having so late as the 12th ult. helped to kill thirteen pigs for a farmer at Croft House. She has quite a masculine appearance, and her sex was not suspected until she placed herself within the clutches of the police. She was fined five shillings and costs.
