The scale of words is adopted to allow persons at a distance to accompany their orders for advertise ments with remittances of postage stamps. Several applications hsysng been made for a scale of charges for small advertisements to appear weekly, to allow of tradesmen and others keeping their addresses or other announcements regularly before the public, we are induced to adopt the following very low scale of charges for such advertisements, when paid quarterly, in advance 21ines .. lns for 13 insertions f 3 and 4 „ l3s for PO 5 and 6 „ ...... l6s for ~ 7 and 8 „ lgs fer PP 9 and I 0 „ 11 and 12 „ .. ... 25s for f • Published by Dobson and Son.

Other members present—Messrs. Beckwith, Godfrey, Robertson Gladstone, M‘Guffie, Dover, Hodson, Haydock, Tinne, J. Holme, Halhead, Johnson, Sheil, Crosthwaite, and Fleming. HEALTH OF THE TOWN, The medical officer of health reported an increase of mortality for the week ending on Saturday the 19th, as a consequence of the cold weather, which prevailed from the 9th to the 16th inst. The deaths from all causes, which in the previous week were 228, rose last week to 252, the corrected average of the same week of former years being 24 less than the mortality of last week. The deaths recorded in the parish were 167, and the out-townships S 5. The whole increase of mortality is accounted for by the increased number of deaths from diseases of the lungs, which were 98, against 66 in the previous week. 72 deaths were registered from zymotic diseases, the same number ac in the previous week. Of these 24 were from scarlatina, 22 from hooping cough, 7 from measles, 7 from typhus. An adult died from small-pox, having been vaccinated in infancy. During the quarter ending on the 29th December, 3,231 deaths were registered in the borough, including 157 on which inquests had been held. This number is 100 less than the average of the same quarter of the preceding eight years, corrected from an increase of population. The deaths from zymotic diseases during the quarter were 1,093, being about 200 more than the average, owing to the prevalence of scarlatina throughout the entire period. The deaths from that disease were 447 ; from measles, 153 ; hooping-cough, 152 : diarrbeea, 112 ; typhus, 96 ; croup, 43 ; syphilis, 24 ; and small-pox, 15. No deaths were registered from cholera, being the second quarter in which that has occurred during the last eight years. Diseases of the lungs caused 871 deaths, being 285 more than in the preceding quarter, but rather below the average of the corresponding period of former years. The borough engineer, building surveyor, and inspector of nuisances, reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the week, from which it appeared that 74 nuisances complained of by inhabitants bad been inspected, and means taken to remedy them. 748 houses in the unhealthiest districts, containing 2,734 apart ments, and 408 cellars, had been. put under examination. with the view of improving their sanatory condition, and 57 lodging-houses had also been examined and reported upon. THE SLAUGHTER-HOUSE NUISANCE, A numerous deputation waited on the committee to com plain of the nuisance created by dr. Clarke's slaughter house in Plumb-street. The slaughter-house was licensed by the council in 1852. The statements of the deputation were very strong as to the nuisance, but, on the other hand, it was equally positively denied by Mr. Clarke, who was in attendance. After the deputation withdrew, Mr. Robertson Gladstone said that in this case a license had been granted by the council, and that therefore any remarks on it should apply as much to it as to Mr. Clarke. But he thought there was a much more serious question at stake, which was that of the entire removal of every slaughter-house within the borough to some spot or other at some distance from the town. (Hear, hear.) The ramifi cations in the consideration of the subject, bearing on the social comfort of the people were most numerous, and how could they expect that the poor working man should fail to go to the public house when his own house abutted on a slaughter-house. (Hear, hear ) This . was an evil which he contended ought to have been dealt with long ago, and he was not yet able to discover how, in the face of several pro tests, so far as he could gather, the corporation or the health committee of the day, ever permitted a slaughter-house to be built in such a situation. As regarded Mr. Clarke, he believed him to be a very respectable man, conducting his business as every other butcher did, and that the fault did not rest with him but with the public authorities. He trusted that some member of the committee would bring the subject prominently before the council, in order that some decision might be come to in it, and a proper site provided for slaughter-houses. (Hear, bear.) Mr. Hodson concurred with Mr. Gladstone, but thought that if the subject were at all taken up, it should be con sidered as a whole, and not in is o l a t e d cases. Mr. Beckwith said that he had been against the license being granted in this instance, but at the same time he thought it right to state that until the present time no complaint was made Of the place. Mr. ilaydock gave notice that at the next meeting he would move that the license be withdrawn. Mr. Tinne moved that the permission granted to a per son, to use a portion of the public highway in Alfred-street, for the construction of an area, ba withdrawn, on the ground that it was a dangerous p r ec e d en t, and that the like privilege had been refused to several other parties. The majority of the committee considered that in this instance it was for the public advantage to grant the permission, and accordingly negatived the motion on a division. MR. ALDERMAN TODLMIN AND TYE CO3IMITTEE---. WHO TOLD THE LIE ? Hr. Beckwith brought under the notice of the committee the letter which Mr. Alderman Toulmin published in the NORTHERN TIMES, and other local papers, denying the truth of the statement made by him (Mr. Beckwith:) at the last meeting. He declared that the report, as it ap peared in the papers was correct, and further that every statement in it in reference to Mr. Toulmin was literally true. He was prepared to prove that it was so, and he did think that the town clerk, when writing the letter which Mr. Toulmin published in connection with his own, might have stated that he was not the person alluded to in the statement, but that it was the deputy town clerk, Mr. M'Gowan. Mr. Toulmin imagined that he would ride off on that letter, and deceive the public by it as to the real state of the case, hut the evidence which he (Mr. Beckwith) would produce that day in the matter, would render the attempt anything but successful. At the same time, he should say that the tone of Mr. Toulmin, in speaking of the deputy clerk and the treasurer, reflected discredit on him, and still more, the letter which he afterwards sent to Mr. Ashlin, and which beginning, as no letter to a gentleman ever began, offensively, ended with these words, "You had better place the receipts in the hands of the party holding the money, or make whatever use you like of them.—Thomas Toulmin." He (Mr. Beckwith) would consider himself disgraced if he were to address any of their servants in such language—(hear, hear)—and he knew not how any man having pretension to the position and character of a gentle man could use it. (Hear, hear.) The deputy town clerk, Mr. M'Gowan, was a gentleman by profession and conduct, and as no man could more satisfactorily discharge his duties, so no man had more readily pro gressed in the esteem and confidence of the committee, than he had. (Hear, hear.) With regard to Mr. Ashlin , he did not think he need say a word as to his posi7,ion. His long and faithful services, his integrity, and his upright conduct bad been such that they had justly earned for him the esteem and respect of the whole community of Liver vol, and established his right to be considered and treated as a gentleman. (Hear, hear.) His character was too well known to need any word of praise from him (Mr. Beck with), and in saying that, he believed he expressed the sentiment of the committee. (Hear, hear.) All the officers of Cornwallis-street were in attendance, and they would prove the correctness of his statement in reference to Mr. Toulmin. Mr. M'Gowan said, that on the 10th of January sum monses were issued against all persons who had entered into composition for rates but had not paid it. Several persons were summoned, and among them was Mr. Alderman Toulmin. The usual evidence was submitted on oath to the presiding magistrate, Mr. Anderson, and he, being satisfied that the requisite formalities had been complied with, made an order in all the cases for the sums to be paid, with costs. In a few hours after returning to Cornwallis-street, Mr. Toulmin came in and complained of the whole proceedings being irregular, and declared that he should take measures to set himself right. He (Mr. M'Gowan) expressed regret that he had not attended before the magistiates at the appointed time, and observed that, , if there had been an error no mischief was done, as the inquiry had been private, and that they would be very happy to rectify it if it were pointed out. Mr. Toulmin first objected that he did not sign the composition paper, and that therefore he ought not to pay. The paper was pro duced, and he then denied that his clerk Webster, whose signature it bore, had signed it for him. Upon that he (Mr. M'Gowan) told him that th e comm ittee could not distinguish in the matter, as Webster had signed for other property on which the composition was paid, but remarked that if the clerk had no authority to sign there had been no composition at all, and that it would be therefore for Mr. Toulmin to pay the full rates, and not one-half. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Thereupon Mr. Toulmin said he would admit that the clerk bad the authority to sign (laughter), but declared that he had received no bill, nor any intimation that the summonses would be issued. The collector was then called in, and it was shown that the bill had been sent, and 'that he had been sent the letter, forwarded to all parties, that if he did not pay w'thin a certain date proceedings would be taken against him. He declared that he had never re ceived it, and made little of the oath of the clerk that it bad been sent, and went away declarin g that he would bring the matter before the council, and seek a re-hearing. When Mr. Toulmin left, fearing that there might have been some error, he (Mr. M'Gowan) carefully went over all the proceedi ngs , and found that after the summonses had been issued, a clerk came from Mr. Toulmin's office, and offered to pay the money if the costs were waived. (Laugh ter.) He felt it his duty to tell the sub-committee that fact; and when he was giving a history of the matter to them, Mr. Toulmin interrupted him with the scurrilous expression of " You lie, and you know it is a lie." Mr. Gladstone : Are you quite confident as to this language ? Mr. M'Gowan replied that be was positive as in the words,_ and that they were heard both by the m em b ers o f the sub-committee, and Mr. Newlands, and Mr. Rishton. Mr. Johnson corroborated Mr. M'Gowan's statement as to the language used, and observed that as chairman he had called on Mr. Toulmin to withdraw the language, when he replied that he had nothing to withdraw. Mr. M'Gowan : The committee immediately took the language up, and called on him to withdraw the expressions, and after a fashion he did withdraw them, for while the words were warm on his lips, he declared that ho did not utter them. Mr. Newlands said that as he entered the room he heard Mr. Toulmin, in an excited manner, say, " you lie, and you know it is a lie !" whereupon he thought he was one too many, and retired. (Laughter.) Mr. Rishton said that he heard Mr. Toulmin make use of the language, and on hearing it adopted the prudent course taken by the borough engineer. Mr. Haydock also testified to it. Mr. M'Guffie asked if Mr. Toulmin had received any intimation that the matter would be brought before the committee that day ? Mr. Robertson Gladstone said that he had recommended Mr. Toulmin to attend. Mr. Tyson, Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Crosthwaite, and Mr. Owens, clerks at the Cornwallis-street offices, testified to Mr. Toulmin's clerk offering to pay the money if the cost of the summonses were taken off, and to the incorrectness of the statements in Mr. Toulmin's letters. Mr. Beckwith said 17e would there let the matter rest, thinking that Mr. Toulmin would gain little by " his motion." The Chairman : He says that he did not call me a liar, but that I told a lie. Now, if that is not a distinction with out a difference, Ido not know what is. (Hear, hear, and laughter•) The matter then dropped, and the committee adjourned. DOCK COMMITTEE.-YESTERDAY -411.---- The usual weekly meeting of the dock committee took place at one o'clock yesterday. Mr. Charles Turner occupied the chair, and the other members present were, Messrs. Shand, Palmer, Robinson, Gregson, Chaloner, Rounthwaite, Smith, Robertson Gladstone, Lockett, Barber, Mondell, Holden, Langsdale, Anderson, Hub back, Rathbone, James Holme, and Evans. The death of Mr. C. Edwards, second master of the Crosby light-ship, was reported, and some changes made in consequence of the promotions necessarily following. It was agreed that the offer of Messrs. Conway and Co., to supply clothing for the piermasters and dock gatemen, and that of Messrs. Henry Gibson and Co., for hats and badges for the same, be accepted. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMMUNICATION WITH HOLYHEAD- MIL MONDRLL'S MOTION The Chairman said the next business was Mr. Mon dell's motion for the establishing of electric telegraph communication by the dock committee with Holyhead. Mr. Mondell said, he wished to say a few words upon the motion, in order to urge the matter upon the com mittee. It was necessary for his purpose, that he should just allude to the construction of the present line of telegraph. The act for its construction was obtained in the year 1825, the 6th of George the IV., and it was carried out in the year 1326, and in operation in 1827. There were eleven stations, including Liverpool, and the whole were reorganised at a considerable expense, and improved in 1839. The system which was then adopted was, per haps, the most perfect extant in that day, and sufficed very we!l during clear weather, and whilst there was daylight, but it was totally useless in thick or hazy weather, or during the hours of darkness, and therefore he considered it quite inadequate for its purpose. If the dock committee 30 years ago felt themselves empow ered to carry out a system of telegraph which had been maintained at a cost of about £1,500 to £l,BOO per annum ever since a time when the shipping of the entire port was less than 10,000 per annum, and the tonnage 1,200,000, he did not think it was too much to ask the dock committee that they should now keep pace with the times, and that they should improve their mode of communication with Holyhead. This question was before the committee in the early part of last year. There was a little discussion, and the subject was referred to the marine:committee who endeavoured to make an arrangement with the electric telegraph com pany for supplying two messages per diem. The terms which the telegraph company asked were extremely high, and such as this committee refused to accede to. In thinking over the question, he had thought at first of recommending a renewal of negociations with the telegraph company, but the more he thought of it, and of its importance, the less he was inclined to treat with anybody, but to have established by the dock committee, along the coast, an electric wire of their own. He thought this was due to the commercial com munity of Liverpool, which that body represented. When he spoke of the commercial community, he did not mean the underwriters, or the shipowners, or the merchants only, but he also included, with them, the seamen, the mariners who frequented this port, their pilots who conducted their ships in and out, and the passengers and emigrants who sailed from the port of Liverpool and entered it. Those classes of persons, he thought, had even a greater interest in the question than the merchants and shipowners had. He thought, therefore, it was a matter of vital importance that they should have a communication which should be certain, and for the purpose of indicating the state of the weather during thick and hazy periods, when the present tele graph was useless. During the last year there were sixty-odd days during which they had no communica tion, in consequence of the fog. In the month of December last, there were ten days. In the twenty-four days of the present year which had elapsed, there were sixteen or eighteen days when they had no commuica tion from the fog. The wind was very favourable, generally, during thick and hazy weather, for the departure of ships from that port. It might be from the southward, with rain, and ships took their departure frequently from this port, when if they had had communication with Holyhead he was sure good men would not do so, Within the last forty eight hours they had had very serious weather at sea, of which they did not know the result yet. They would also recollect that on Tuesday they had a very fine day, the wind from the eastward. In the evening it com menced to blow a gale of wind, south east—a very heavy gale of wind indeed, which continued until four o'clock in the morning. At eight o'clock it was fine, from the opposite point. About two or three o'clock on Wednes day afternoon there was a telegraphic communication, which indicated that the barometer at Holyhead stood 28.23, a point which the mercury seldom reaches, unless in a hurricane. A large fleet of vessels sailed on Wednesday morning. That night, as might be expected, it blew a hurricane again from the south until three or four o'clock next morning, when the wind again shifted. The effects of that they did not yet know, but he alluded to it now to show that no prudent seaman would have put to sea yesterday, if he had known that the barometer stood at that:point. He believed it was in such weather as he had spoken of that the Tayleur had sailed—indeed he was certain that it was. Now there was another reason why he should wish to have this proposal carried out. The Dock trust maintained a life boat establishment, perhaps scarcely equalled in the world for efficiency, well manned, and maintained at a cost of something like £2,000 a year. The men of these boats were ready and willing at any time to put to sea to save life whenever an accident occurred so close to the shore that they could receive information of it in time, but if the accident was not communicated to them, they might slumber on in happy ignorance. Let them take the case of the Ocean Monarch as an illustration of this. . That vessel took fire with emigrants on board out at sea, and within sight of Ormes-head. She was consumed by fire. If that accident had been promptly communi cated, as it might have been if telegraphic communi cation such as he urged had then existed, there would no doubt have been a fleet of steamers out from this port, and lifeboats, which would have saved the two hundred lives that were lost on that occasion. (Hear, hear.) He thought there was a vessel called the Rothesay Castle in similar distress from the time of her leaving the north-west light until she got to the entrance of Beaumaris, where, as they would all recol lect, many souls perished. Had an electric telegraph been along that line of coast, assistance of an effectual character could have been rendered to that ship before she got to Beaumaris. There was another question to be considered. The committee were, perhaps, not aware that the Admiralty was now about to issue a new code of signals far in advance of anything which existed, or had been produced as yet, and if the dock committee continued their present semaphore communication, they must of necessity revise and alter their Holyhead code, which would then be perfectly useless. Tois alteration would be attended with considerable expense. To show the inefficiency of the present code, he would first allude to a circumstance which occurred within the last five days. On Sunday, to those who frequented the newsroom, there was a telegraphic communication made, "yesterday, at nine o'clock certain ships passed Point Lynas." This was known to most of the merchants on Monday morn ing, as they went to the newsroom. But on the follow ing day, a semaphore communication had been received advising that certain ships had passed Point Lynas at nine o'clock the previous morning. He questioned the keeper, who told him that he had been telegraphed off Point Lynes and also off Ormes-head ; that the re sponses were made, but that the communication was cut off, either by the Menai Straits or by the river Dee. There was another argument which he would adduce. He thought, if they took into consideration the various stations which would be superseded, the line would be a very paying line. There was, as they were all aware, a large harbour being constructed at Holyhead. It would shortly be perfected, and, he supposed, ships 'would' frequent it in case of fog, and even, probably, call for orders. He knew,himself, of a case where the orders were put on board a pilot boat for a vessel to gm to Glasgow, and in that case the ship would have to pay half the pilotage, whether she entered the port or not. It would have been better if she had gone into Holyhead, where she might have been certain of receiving orders. He therefore thought that if the telegraph were com pleted, sundry messages would pass along the line, and at the usual tariff there would be a large sum received for the use of the wires in communicating intelligence of ships. These were the arguments he would use la urging upon the dock committee the improvement of communication along the coast, and at Holyhead. When it was made, a method of signals might be adopted for night service. There was no difficulty about. it. The necessary signals of danger and distress were' very few, and a code of night signals might be ma de,. and signals to transmit intelligence in case of fogs- Intelligence might be communicated by a number of . guns fired at intervals. He thought these were argu-. ments to show that they should not any longer stand still, but that they should progress. He believed they' would effect a large saving in their present expenditure , He therefore would beg to move a resolution somewhat' different from the motion which he first brought for ward, if he might be allowed to do so. The motion be' would now propose was—" That it is now expedient' that a system of electric telegraphic communication along the line of coast to Holyhead be established ; that. the same be carried out under the direction and at the cost of the dock trustees, and that a sub-committee be appointed to receive estimates." Mr. Smith had much pleasure in seconding the mo tion. He thought Mr. Mondell had made out a very strong case indeed. On Tuesday, as it might be in the recollection of the committee, had the state of the wea ther at Holyhead been known, it was probable a great number of the ships which went to sea would not haves done so. He asked if Mr. Mondell had turned his atten tion to the question of expense, and ascertained what the amount of the cost would be ? Mr. Mondell said, if the board thought proper, he could tell them the result of the investigation then. But if they were going to refer the matter to a sub-committee* it would perhaps be better to wait. The Chairman said the question had been before tile committee several times, and they decided that it was; not expedient to proceed with the undertaking. They' found that very few of the stations now existing could be dispensed with. The expense of the existing sema phore would be about the same as it w as now , even a fter , they had adopted the electric telegraph, if they decided. upon doing so. As regarded the question of weather,. the marine committee recommended that there should be' two messages a day, and proposed to give about £5O a year to the company for the purpose. They found diffi culties put in their way by the company, and arrangement was concluded. As regards the pilots, mariners, and seamen, of course, information as regarded the state of the weather, was the only thing which would be of value to them. With respect to vessels calling at Holyhead harbour, he fancied that very few vessels would go into it, the dangers of going in and getting out were so considerable. He did not think the case of the Rothsay Castle was a case in point at all. If a vessel was in distress at the north-west lightship. and yet chose to go on to Beaumaris, he did not think she would be likely to take advantage of a steam tug, which might go out to her. He did not quite recollect the circumstances of the Ocean Monarch, and, therefore, could not say whether the circumstances with regard to that vessel were quite correctly stated or not. But, inasmuch as the marine committee, of which Mr. Mondell was a very able anti valued member, had had the whole of the sub ject under their charge, and as Mr. Brocklebank was not present, who took a very great interest in the sub ject, and was also a very able member of that committee" he would suggest that it would be very desirable to refer the question to the marine committee. Mr. Lockett was also decidedly of opinion, that lt• would be better to refer the subject to the marine com mittee. Mr. Mondell had brought forward a wholly nor subject. As far as regarded the communication with' Holyhead for ships putting in there, they all knew that already there was a telegraphic communication, if parties' wished to avail of it. Mr. Mondell : I would have no objection to it being referred to any committee which I could consider a comp!' tent committee, but as the marine committee is now constt• tuted, I cannot say that it is a competent committee to take this question in hand. The Chairman : Three of the largest shipowners in the port are upon that committee, yourself, Mr. Lockett, and Mr. Brocklebank. Ido not think there are any three MO more competent to take charge of the subject. Mr. Mendell : I am very glad to see Mr. Lockett restored . He bas not attended fur the last fortnight. I have been the marine committee myself for the last fortnight, and, °f course, I would be unanimous upon the subject. (Laughter , / You pay to the steam-tug company £4OO per annum, condition that they have a steam-tug ready at all times, tow out your lifeboats to vessels in distress. y ou c antle' continue to pay this sum and not adopt the electric telegraPb: The time lost in communicating intelligence from a ship distress to this port, is more than twice the time which 1 would take a steamer to go out. The Chairman : But, how far does a steamer take o ut lifeboat ? Mr. Mondell : To the extreme edge of the banks. The Chairman : Not to Holyhead ? Mr. Mondell : No, sir. The Chairman : Then that does not bear upon th e Holyhead question ? Mr. Mondell : But, suppose an accident were to occur et Ormeshead, the steamers would go out from this to Orgies" head, in such a case as that of the Ocean Monarch, r satisfied, without fee or reward. Mr. Shand said there was no objection whatever to hi o the subject fully discussed. The Chairman : Certainly, none whatever. Mr. Mondell : Let it be freely discussed, then. If it 0 proved that it would be a loss to the estate, abandon it. Mr. Barber did not understand whether Mr. Mondell posed that the dock committee should charge for delivering ( messages, and thus, in fact, establish rival wires to those the telegraph comrany. Merchants might have a mes=ag e on the state of the weather from Holyhead in half an hour at present, if they wished to avail themselves of the existing means. - The Chairman suggested that the question should b 6 referred to the marine committee, with the names of ? 41 Gladstone and Mr. Evans added. Mr. Rathbone thought it hardly fair to refer a thing bae l to a committee who had already reported against it twic e a over. He suggested that Mr. Mondell's should be refer to the marine committee, with the addition of 1 0 Hubback and Mr. Smith. The Chairman thought it hardly fair to add the names o f two gentlemen who had declared in favour of the proposa l, inasmuch as Mr. Smith had seconded the motion, and 1 0 Hubback had offered to second it. et Mr. Holme did not think the committee had ever considered what would be the cost:of laying down a line ° their own. If it cost .£lO,OOO, the inter es t u p on tha t amount would be £5OO a year. The chairman : But we must keep up the present tole' graph also. Mr. Smith : I do not see why that should be necessary. Mr. Mondell : I know something of signalling at se* and I do not think it would be necessary. Finally, Mr. Mondell consented to leave the question to t the marine committee, with the a ddi t i on o f t h e names $ 1 Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Hubback, to report to the board. This was accordingly agreed to. The general business then concluded. BIRKENHEAD POLICE COURT.—YEsTERDO" (BEFORE MAJOR-GENERAL THE HON. SIR EDWARD CVO., AND MR. BARTON.) TRAism ER E POLICE. —Two 'powerful-looking tlie..l named Robert and James Willi ams , were summo n before the bench by police-con s t a bl e W right, under tlit, following circumstances. He stat e d th at on Sunday nighog he was on duty about half-past twelve o'clock, and N't accompanied by two other constables, Griffith 013 to Williams, when the defendant J ames Wi lliams came up 0 them, and threatened to "lick the whole three of the% and that subsequently, his brother struck him (Wright' s , blow in the face, which knocked him down. In his e roS t, examination, he said that the affair took place on the Paul's-road, near to Kill e tt' s pu b lic-house, and he adm itt6 that he had heard Griffith call James Williams a drunl e , scoundrel, and that Williams (policeman) had said 50a1 . , 0 thing about spies. Williams was next called, but he ga i t rather a different version of the affair, for he denied Ol i o together when the defendant 0 , 1 ;0 he had called the defendant a spy, but said he and 0 ,„ 6 brother officers were up to them, threw down his cap and coat, and tri, threatened "to lick the whole lot.' They told him n ot i: 0 make a blackguard of himself, but to go quietly home., his cross-examination, he denied that he struck the dele kh e dant with his stick. He had seen one of the brothers ''' o t day after, and he had told him that he should 11 ,. 0 . summons him, but should summons his brother ;., 6 being drunk. He also denied the statement that he and his brother officers were drunk. Griffith was called, 1 " he corroborated the statement of officer Williams. -y Bretherton addressed th e b enc h c or t h e defendants, c-omt9 tending that no re li ance was to be placed on the statereeto made by the p o li ce, as it was clear they had told pall/3,10 falsehoods in the matter.
