THE CHARGE AGAINST A WALLASEY COMMISSIONER.—
At the Knutsford adjourned sessions, held on Tuesday, before
T. Trafford, Esq., (chairman,) and Captain D'Hollyngworthe,
magistrates, Mr. William Callow, late a member of the Wal-
lasey Board of Health, and who had lived as a retired gentle-
man at Stonehouse, Wallasey, was- indicted for having de-
frauded J. H. M`Kinnell, Esq., J. C. Ewart, Esq., M.P., and
Wm. Rathbone, jun., Esq., of several sums of money, by ut-
tering certain forged machine tickets, in the sale of quanti-
ties of hay to those gentlemen. Messrss. Bevan and Brandt,
instructed by Mr. Ureatley, appeared for the prosecution ; Mr.
W. I. Welsby (specially from London), and Mr. M. Lloyd,
instructed by Mr. Bretherton, were for the defence.
The case, the particulars of which will be in the recollec-
tion of most of our readers, was traversed from the last
sessions on account of the ill-health of the accused.
The prisoner, who had been out on bail, surrendered at
half-past ten o'clock. Upon being placed in the dock,
he appeared to be suffering from great mental agony
and bodily illness. He was not able to stand upright,
and, since his examination before the magistrates at Liscard,
a material change was apparent in him ; his former corpulency
had diminished to a considerable degree, and he seemed ema-
ciated and careworn. After a long conversation between the
magistrates and the legal gentlemen engaged in the case, re-
lative to the precarious state of the prisoner's health, the
prisoner, by the advice of his counsel, pleaded guilty to the
first indictment for embezzlement, being acquitted on the
others. He was then discharged, having been bound in his
own recognizances in £2OO to receive sentence when called
upon by the court. On making his appearance outside the
court, the prisoner was warmly congratulated by many of his
friends. Mr. J. C. Ewart, M.P., was in attendance during
the hearing of this case, and, on one occasion, had some con-
versation with the bench. Several gentlemen belonging to
Wallasey were subpoenaed for the defence, to give evidence as
to the former good character of Mr. Callow.
KNUTSFORD SESSIONS.—Tas LATE DARING Housz ROB-
BERY AT BIRKENHEAD.--Atthe Knutsford sessions, on
Wednesday last, Elizabeth Fairclough was indicted with being
concerned in the late robbery from the house of Captain
Angell, Price-street, Birkenhead, the full particulars of which
will be fresh in the recollection of the public. Mr. Macintyre
prosecuted, and Mr. M. Lloyd appeared for the defence. One
of.the witnesses was a woman named Clinton, to whom the
prisoner made sundry "revelations," whilst both were con-
fined in the same cell, in Birkenhead brideweil. Mr. Lloyd
urged that the evidence of this woman ought to have been
added to the depositions. Mr. Drew, clerk in the magis-
trates' office, at Birkenhead, stated that he offered, on the
previous day, to furnish Mr. Lloyd with a copy of the
woman's evidence. The bench remarked that the magis-
trates had a perfect right to use their own discretion as
to appending the woman's evidence to the depositions,
end said that the prisoner had no reason to complain,
inasmuch as she had made the statements herself. The
case occupied the court for four hours, and resulted
in the jury finding the prisoner guilty on one of the
counts (of which there were five) for "aiding and assisting."
The bench said that the case had been remarkably well got up,
and then sentenced the prisoner to eighteen months' imprison-
ment with hard labour.—At the same sessions, Robert Davies
was found guilty of stealing a quantity of fat, the property of
Mr. Kynaston, butcher, Grange-lane, Birkenhead, and was
sentenced to five months' imprisonment.—Mary Quinn and
Ellen Quinn (mother and daughter), were indicted for stealing
and feloniously receiving a large quantity of wearing apparel
from the house of Mr. Street, publican, Morpeth Dockquay,
Birkenhead. The younger prisoner, who pleaded " guilty, '
had been a servant in the employ of the prosecutor, and soon
after leaving her situation the house was forcibly entered by
a back window, and the property stolen. She was subse-
quently apprehended in Liverpool, by detective-officer Sullivan,
with a missing cloak in her possession. This led to the appre-
hension of the mother, in whose house a number of pawutickets
were discovered, some of which referred to Mr. Street's stolen
property. The jury found a verdict of guilty, and the beach
sentenced the daughter to six months' imprisonment, and the
mother to twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour.
