AN APPRENTICE CASE

Mr. Tyndall appeared on behalf of a respectable youth
named Joseph Bellamy, who was an apprentice to Captala
Sanders, of the ship Istria, who summoned that gentleman,
under the atth George 111. to have the indentures cancelled.
Mr. Bluck appeared for the captain. It-appeared that in 1857
the youth was bartnd to the captain, who is part-owner of the
ship, and that he went two voyages, and about a year agn the
parties had some words which -caused a misunderstanding,
and the captain told thz youth to go on shore, which he did.
It was alleged that the captain had agreed to cancel the inden-
tures, provided the lad did not go to sea during the residue of

the term. This was refused, and the boy, for the last twelve
months, was educated at home for the Rapti Navy ; and when
the ship arrived here recently the friends of the boy wanted
the captain to cancel the indentures, bat he refused, and hence
the summons. Mr. Vlach, oa the part of the captain, stated

that he wanted the boy to finish his time, a d that there was
a ship teady for him now. He contended that there never was
any cruelty shown the lad, and there was no cause whatever
why the indentures should I,e cancelled, as the captain wanted
the youth to finish out his time. Mr. Raffles refused to cancel
the indentures, and dismissed the summons.
CURIOUS CASE.

Ellen Liverege, described as a highly respectable woman,
living in Werwick-square, was brought up on remand, charged
with stealing a pair of glass lustres. from a shopin Soho-street.
She was in custody of officer Seaife, and Mr, Cobb appeared for
her defence. It seems that on Saturday evening the prisoner
was taken to the Pollee-office on a charge of having obtained a
quantity of groceries front a grocer by mesas of false pretences,
but in censteenenee of her " respectability," the matter was
"Arranged," or "compromised," and then Scaife remembered
that there was a charge against her of having stolen the lustres,
and he went to her house and found them in a box. It appeared
that on Thursday last she went to the shop of the complainant,
and in her absence she told her daughter that a eady named
Norris had sent her for the lestres, and by these means she got
off from the girl with them. It was alleged by Mr. Cobb that
the prisoner is insane, and filet she was only a sh'rt time out
of an asylum. It was stated that two witnesses were absent
by the influence of the friends of the prisoner, but Mr. Cobb
indignantly denied this. The prisoner was, however, remanded
till to-day, for the production of further evidence.

A ROW ABOUT A CHILD.
