It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, that the prisoner and himself were fellow-ledgers at the house of Ann Prince, at Childer-Thornton, that on the night of Thursday last he went to bed, having firs hung his trousers on one of the bed rails of his bedstead, in the pocke's of which was the money and crucifix mentioned; the prisoner slept in the same room, but he was asleep when he came to bed.

When sea-ched, he had but lie. Bd. in money upon him. A witness, however, named Griffith., employed at the Sutton Station tavern, gave evidence to the effect that on the morning of the robbery the prisoner ceme to him and purchased his watch for ss. Gi , and afterwards treated a great number of perons in the tap-room. He was seen to change a sovereign, and also to exhibit three others, saying at the time, ht ass not short of money. From there le 'me traced to Chester, having pile by the railway, and back egain on the following Sunday evening, when be wes apprehended. The pris rner denied having taken the money, but could only account for 304., which he said he had awed up He was, however, known to have been very " hard up" ,lust previous to the committal of the offence. Cornmi.ted f,r ROBBING Lonotsos.—Ann Yates and Thomas Jacobs, who have been c-habiting trgether s man and wife, were charged wi h robbing their lodging .—Mrs. McMurray, who lives at No 15, Chapel-str , et, and lets lodgings, stated that about six weeks Aga the prisoners came to lodge at her hcuse, and on Thursday last they went out, locking the door and taking the key with them. Not re turning, her suspicions were aroused, and on Sunday she looked th-ough the window of their room and saw that the bed had been stripped of everythieg. Having got a policeman she with him went in search of the prisoners and found them beging in Watson-street, and there found one of the missing pillows; and upon farther inquiry, found all the other articles had teen pledged in the town by the Pone° prisoner The pawnbrokers produced the property, and identified the woman es the person who had pledg.d them.— Col.niNed for trig! at the Sessions. AN OLD OFF7NDICR rICKED" VT.—John Regan, who had been in custody en several previous occasions, and who was tried br felony at the Kutebford sessions, no later than April last, was charged with stealing a "pick" from the works of Messrs. Thompson, at the Great Float Dock. Polize-officer Graham, of the BLlcenhead police, doing duty at the wellv, stated th,t between four and five o'clock yesterday af:ertioon, while on dory, he s icv the prisoner and another man come from behind some ballast waggot s, and suspecting that they wtre up to no good, he concealed himself until they got near to where was, 'when he caught the prig over, Who had the pick EO as to have the handle perpendicular with his arm, and the iron part of it con cealel as well as he could by his hand and jacket Upon asking the pisoner what business he had with the pick, he said he was ving to d:g up some worms with it to ti•h with in the doi - tks; but as there happened to be no water in the docka to fiih in, he (Graham) took him into custody. Upon examining the pick. he found it branded, • G-. T. & C 0.," which he knew to be the brand of Messrs Thompson. Wiliam Smith, in the em ploy of Messrs. Thompson, fully identified the pit .k and added that a great number of tools of tat dascrip7too were being con zinually s olen from the wo ks. Committed for trial. _ A DRUNKCS Wire.—Cl;i7ti;naP;;;;s charged w:th b , -irg chunk and d'Acrderly, breaking the windows of her husband's house, and us;ng each vi lent threats as to put him in fear cf his life. Joseth Pri:e, the unfortunate partner, said that last evening, he Lund his wife drunk at honie, and no sooner had he got into the house thin she begat abusing h 7 m in a most violent manner, and struck him several times; she then bcg4n to wreak her vengeance non her children, when he sot tLf in away, and topic them to his br ther's home for safety. While be was gone, the pri,oner sm ,shei the v‘indowe. lie was never safe, and he feared some day, when in a drunken state, there would be murder in the house. He had done all he could t 3 reclaim her No longer ago than the Ist instant she had to appear on a summons ha had taken out against her for as anhing him, but upon fai,hfully promising to abstain from intoxic.Aing drinks, he forgave her, and she signed a paper which he held in his hand, to that effect, in the presence of two witnesses. The promise, however, was -soon broken, for she was as bad as ever in two or three days after. The lives of himself and children had been a perfect misery. If she was only to stay away, he was quite willing to give her sufficient to keep her comfortable. He had be_n compelled to Famtun her in the month of February last, and she then went to Ches'er Castle for three calendar months in default of finding sureties for her good behaviour. Police-office Murray confrtied his statement so far as to the dicurtance, and said that when he gat to the house, there were 200 or 300 persons around it; her =duct was outrageous, and the children screamed violently. Mr. Superintendent Birnie having spoken as to the h.tvbaad being a hard-working, sober, steady man, the worthy magistrate addressed the prisoner, and said it was most abominable to see a woman like her, who had every opportunity of being comfortable with her husband and femily, conducting herself in the manner she had. The husband and children must be protected, and as the three months she h3l previously undergone did not seem to have any effe6 - , upon her, she must now find sureties for double that period, or be com mitted to Chester Castle f)r six calendar months.

ADVENTURES OF A TWENTY POUND NOTE, ON LIOELI seam.—One day, abcu' tin beginning of Sootetrier, says the Dumbarton Herald, M. B. njanlia Ortuz tr, a gentle man from Paris, was a passeag , r on board the Locblomond steamer Prince Albert, during her voyage down the loch. As the vessel neared Tarbet he was seated on the hurricane deck admiring the beauties of the surrounding scenery and es joying she fresh m untain bra z a when the clerk came rend to ceflect the fares. M. Oitezer having r o change, took from his pockeabook a number of B ink of Englani notrs, with the intention of handing one of them to the clerk; but be'ore he could get this done a sudden gust of wind whiled two of the notes out of his hand. The engineer of the steamer tried to get hold of one ( f them as they were carried past Lim, but the other, a £2O Bank of Engl./n.l note, got clear of the steamer altogether, end fell on the water at some distance. The engineer was at once handsomely rewaidA for h's dexteri y, and the gen.leman who 1, st the note landed at T..rbet with the view of makirg an r ffo tto r• cover it. A small boat with ahle rowers was despatched to the scene of the loss, but though the search was persevered in for some hours, we can hardly wonder that it proved un uccessful. For seve ral daya parties continued on the look out both eflost and on shone, but the note was not found ; end at length the loser proceeded on his tour, leaving hts name and address at the inn, so that he might be ertnmunieated with should the money ever turn op. About three weeks after it was lOn', as a Mss. Mal)unald was wanting along the tko-e of the loch, near to her own house at Creiteehlatich, and about thee miles south of the place where the note had set out on its adventures, ale picked op a pifce of paper which proved to be the half of a £2,0 nose. Assisted by her grandson, she searched for, an i at a short distance found, the other half of the note, which she at once concluded would be the one which was lost from the Prices Albert. A neighbouring gen tleman forwarded the note to M. Ortuz sr, who showed his appreciation of the honesty of the >T±nder by sending to her an order for £4.

Total abstinence, I admit, is not reni4i ,n ; outward reformatio i is not religion ; but by this reform a great obstacle is rem 'veil, and thousands of miserable drunkards may be brought into the Kingdom of Goi.

Con'd I but wield the pencil with the ski:l alerria`o to the subject I would delineate and fill up the b!ackest licture ever seen by human eye; no: from dark shadows, tin: from workings revealed — from the lognence of facts, as exhibi eI is the folly, the revelry, the beastleness and the slaggering of drunkards; the innocence clothe I in rags, the filth of vice it creates, its eghtless dim and hopeless children as they grope on is ignorance and darkness, the flaunting robes of gnat, with hr arts on fire of Hall, as they go shrieking and mocking onwards to the flawing pit of perdition. I a k, where is the Christian who after reading the array of awful details I have brought forward, who can fur another moment retain a desire for that liquor vri i h is the sole cause of the appalling eel s I have enumerated—where is that follower of the meat and Holy Jesus who laid down his life for sinners, who professes to do so for the glory of His Divine Lord and Master, who can any longer give is s support to the mainiainance of the cue ores by which these sal effects are produced and perpetrated. Oat of reqrct fur the reputat on of the religion we profess I hope and am inclined to think that few can long refuse to abandon the use of stroog drinks, who are filly impressed with the extant of the evils resulting from drunkenness. It is indeed a matter of wonder to me that an universal indignation is not raised against this destructive p u,t, for how is it possible I ask for men that have any sense of humanity any heart of pity, but especially for those who profess and call themselves christhns, to stand by and see unconcerned the (lestroying angel as a fire raging among there fellow craatn•es without exerting themselves to the very utmost to arrest its progress, and if possible to extinguish it. Of all the miseries and plagues that unha. py man has bean incident to, none wa. ever so enctirally destructive of sonic as the evil spirit of alcoholic thinks, alcohol is an ua cleating Ins ciless eaemy, that threatens the temporal and eternal destructlon of generation after generation. As wa can convey no a lequsto ides of sound to the dee', of colour to the blind, or of life to the dead, neither can we by the most e'aborate reasoning, or eloquont descript'oa impart to the drunk ir I in his drunkenness any proper conception of the evils of drunkenness, and the happiness of total abstinence, the afore, drankards hoar whit the word of God eeelares : " Awake ye dru ikarls an 1 weep," Joel I. 5. Who heth woe ? who bath sorrow ? who bath contentions ? who bath wo roes without cease ? They that tiry long it the wino, they that go to seek mixed wine.

AN ATLAS GRPITIS WITH THE "DISPATCII."—On and after Sunday, October 40, 1857, each copy of the Dispatch will be accompanied with a map, a chart, or the plan of of a principal town, so as to furnish to each subsetib r, gratis, the most comprehensive, complete and generally useful Atlas hitherto published in Great Brit; in. The s'ze of the engravings will be that of one page of teie newsparter, six maps and two plans, in each year, will be of double the size— 17 inches by 25. The ordinary maps will be correctly tinted, the charts will be properly relieved in bliv, and the plans will be printed in u rich colour. The double maps will be the object of great attention in the desire to make them beautiful specimens of map colouring. It is hoped, in the course of no unreasonably protracted time, that the Dispatch Atlas will contain more names and positions of places than any other English publication of the kind.

This ancient Court held its periodical sitting yesterday, at the Shrewsbury Arms, Little Neston, The Court was called together by the following SUMMONS. The flundred and Manor of Wi,ra,intheCouney of Chester To Wit. The general Court Leet,VieWOf Frank-pledge, Hundred Court, Court B iron and law day of the Hundred and Manor of Wirral, aforesaid, will be held at the house of Mr. Moses R3binson, the Shrewsbury Arms, Hinderton, Lit le Neaten, in and for the said Hundred and Manor, on Weinesday, the 214 t day of October inst., at ten o'clock in the forenoon of the same day, when and where the rents due to the lord of the same hundred and manor are to be paid, and all persDns who owe suit aad service to the said courts, respectively, are required to attend, on pain of arnercercient. Dated the let day of October, 1857. By order of the Steward. WHITTAKER EDHONDSDN, Reeve and Bailiff. As there are various opinions as to the legality of this court, and as to the p )wer and jurisdiction of the Steward, we give the following extract from Blackstone' s Commentaries on the Laws of England, on the subject:— After describing a Court Baron, which is a court incident to every manor in the kingdom, he goes on to state— " A Hundred Court is only a larpr Court Baron, being held for all the inhabitants of a particular hundred instead of a manor. The free suitors are also the judges, and the steward is the registrar, as in the case of a Court Baron. It is, likewise a Court of Record, resembling the former in all points except that in the point of territory it is of greater jurisdiction. This is said by Sir Edward Cokt to have been derived out of the County Court for the ease of the people, that they might hare justice done them a( their own doors, withou , auy charg , , or loss of time; but its institution was probably coos& with that of hundreds themselves. which were introduced, though not invented, by Alfred, being derived from the polity of the ancient Germans." Therefire, as no act of parliament has ever been passed to disannul this court, its jurisdiction, it would appear, is indisputable. In consequenco of the melancholy death of one of the gsntlemen summoned on the jury, Mr J. Robinson, there was some delay in commencing the business, but shortly after eleven o'clock, Teo Seward of the Court, Mr. Robert Grace, opened the Illyine3s of the thy. and tho following gentlemen were sworn in as the jurors and officers - Wm Jackson, Esq , Foreman. Newman Hyde Wilson, Great Neston. Lee Wood, Maxwell Scott, Rd w4rd McKeverigan, Tranmere. Samuel Bcnjim'n Coate4, John Allan James Rontledge, Tranmere. Henry Hillier, Birkenhead, Robert Bromley Evans, Birkenhead. Richard Lee, Caarles Adcock, ASSESSORS. John Humphrey, .. Tranmere. Wm. Craven, _ _ The Steward then said, that as this was the annual t day, they were bound to hold this court for the pur. pose of seeing that all the busine3s wag, and had been, properly conducted. Ile then called over the names of the several officers connected with the court, who ap peared either in person or by representative. The Ale Tester, and Inspector of wine and bread (Robert Cumming), made the following as THE ALIC MUM' PRESICNTMEIT : Wirral, to Wit: A presentment made by the Ale Testers and In spectors of bread and wine, beer, and ale, to the Court Let, hel l at Little Neston, on Wednesday, the 21st day of OctJber, 1857:- 1.

A Juror : No person has ever complained to you of the badness of the bread, or have any of the ptblicans refused to p*rmit ycu to try the qui.lity of the ale or wines. Mr. Cubbins: 10, if they ha I I sh)uld have re ported them to this court. (Laughter.) TIIE PIG STY& NUISANCE AT TRANSIERI. The Steward said that he hid received the following memorial with regard to a nuis ince at Chf,in Park, but as it was a very uncomf)rtable diy, and the weather was execelingly wet, he t'u3u4hr, it hid helter stand over until the adjourned court, iv:iich would be held at Tranmere, but iu the meantime, he ?null rail the 3IIMORIIL.

TIM StONE QUARRY AT LIOLY lIILL. _ The Stew trd annou read, th%t at a forme: cpurt there had been a c mplaint lodged against a stone quarry, wh;ch there was no doubt was no doubt was dangerous to life, as any person might fa'l into it. But there WaS some doubt as to who it belongs - I to, and no steps were taken in the matter ; but, in conseq lance of it hiving been brought before that court, the owners had made it perfectly safe ; therefore, no further steps need be taken in that matter Mr. Rutledge, the late surveyor to the highways, said he had inspowed the place, ani had found that the quarry had been made in a most perfect Ft A°. THE BUSNESS OF THE COVET. This beTrg the annual meeting of the court, the Steward stated that it wag necea%ary that he slmld read over the business that had been done, and the extracts that were to be made, by the or3er of the cpurts that hal been held previously. Ha then read the followng documents : .Rundred of Win al, in the Cowl/I/ of Ches`cr, To !Vie: At the Crurt Leet and View of Frank-pledge of our Sovereign Lady the Q'1.3011, of the Hundred of Wirral, in the County of Chester, held at Li.tle • Neston, in and for the said Hundred, on Wednesday, the twenty-first day of o,:tobe; in the twenty-fi st year of the re'gn of Her Msjesty Queen Victoria, (1857), Before Robert Grace, Gent., Steward there— Upon the oath of twelve jurors, then and there chosen, sworn, and charge t to inquire, for our Sovereign Lady the Queen, for the body of the Hundred, it is resented as fAlow9, this is to say— The jurors, f)l.. our Lady the Q 1801), upon their oath, present that the following amereeme its, made, set, and affirmed at various Courts Leet and Views of Frank-pltdge, held in and for the said Hundred, still remain unpaid, therefore the same are now here eqreated, and it is orde-ei that Whittaker Edmond son, the Reeve and Bailiff of the said Hundred, and his as4stants, or some one of them, do levy the same by distress of the go ,ds and chattels of the offenders respectively, and all constables and peace officers are commanded to be aiding and assisting in the premises. The esereat of antereements above referred to 1. Of Christopher Bushell, of Neston, at the Court held on 7th May, 1857, for obstructing aad stopping up a common and ancient footway within the jurisdiction of this Court, to the common nuisance, &c.—Fifty Founds. 2. Of the Bi:lonhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Company, at the adj turned Court held on 18'h June, 1857, for allowing one of their railway bridge, cros.ing the Queen's common highway, within the jurisdiction of this Court, to be in a ruinous and dangArous state, to the common nuisance, & Five Founds. The Steward : Now, with regard to Mr. Christopher Bushell, he has been amerced in a fiao of £5O. He his restored the road, bat he has not paid the fine. Of emirs°, the next corns,' will be that we must levy. Mr. Coats : Of course; there cAn be no objection to that The Steward : And the same will apply to Mr. Wil loughby; and to the Birkenhead, Lancashire Ea Cheshire Junction Railway Company. The Jury : Most certainly. TFe Steward : And tp those who have been guilty of a &fault of suit. The Jury : Let that stand over. The Steward announced that, with the exception of the above, all the orders of the court had been complied with. BIRKIENIINAD AND CRICSIIIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY. This is also, the Steward observed, an estreat to be made for having a dargeroua bridge. They were u ti d £5, mid £5 per day as long as the bridge remained in the same state. The day after the notice was served, the bridge was repaired, therefore the only demand that we have on them is for the £5. A Juror: I saw the bridge, and, of course, you will make them pay. The Steward : Of course, we shall. It will now be our duty to levy, and that will be done. The Reeve of the Court, Mr. Edmondson, was then called, and he proved that none of the penalties, altho❑gh made by the Court, had been paid, although they had been demanded. The Steward : I think you received a saucy answer from Mr. Bushell, and the Rtilway Jompany. That they would resist the demand by force of arms. The Reeve : I did so. The Steward : Well, then, if they will resort to force of arms, why, we must do the same d and that will be done, as the fines must be paid. THE MONK? FERRY COMPLATNTS. The Steward then detailed the facts of this case, which have a'ready appeared befo.-e the public, in the columns of this journal. He also called Alfred Grace, who proved serving on their officer, Mr. Swan, the following notice : Tranmere Hotel, 22nd August, 1857. Gentlemen,—l am directed to give you notice that the Court Leet of the Hundred of Wirrall, held here on Thursday last, you, as Pablic Ferry proprietors for hire, were presented and fined ten shillings for not providing and using safe and proper stages and gangways for the safe and ordirly landing and embarkation of passengers at the Birkenhead Ferry, and you were ordered to furnish and provide, and use safe and proper stages and gangways railed and guarded, within a fortnight, under a further penalty of tea shillings, and ten shillings more for every day's default afterwards If you wish to hive a copy of the presentment, &c., you can procure it from the Steward, through your solicitor.— I am, your obedient servant, WHITTAKER EDMONDSON, Reeve and Bailiff To Messrs.
