WELSH GAMBOLS.

Two persons of respectable exterior, who gave the nameeor
Edward Lewis and Richard Roberts, and who said they were
natives of the 'Principality, of the Ich dien plume, were'
charged by Inspector Moore, who said they were drunk and
disorderly in the streets. He advised them to desist and go
away, bal they refused, and became worse, so that he was
obliged to lock them up. Mr. Raffles censured the conduct
of the prisoners, and said it was a shame and an outrage to
see persons of apparent respectability disgracing themselves
in the streets and annoying the public after such fashion,.
He fined them 5s and costs each or 14 days' imprisonment.
ARISTOCRATIC BURGLARS CAPTURED'.
William Broadbent, a well dressed and rather powerful fel-
low, but very desperate looking, and George Haskey, a well
dressed young man, were brought up by Police-officer 822, on,
the following charge. He said at twelve o'clock last night I
was inforffled that there were some men at the rear of the
in Lord-street, and on going round to George's-court,
I saw the prisoner Broadbent en the back wall of Mr. Daniel'e
(watchmaker and jeweller) house. I caught him and found
this dark lantern, with this bit and brace, and chisel on him.
The other prisoner dropped off the wall into the yard, and on
him I got this gold *Watch and chain, and a box of matches.
I asked Broadbent what he wanted there? and he used an ha•
pudent answer, and told me to get him a brush to brush his
coat, and a basin of water and towel to wash his hands.
(Laughter.) Mr. Daniels' foreman, who resides on the pre-
mises, said, I was roused up by the private watchman about
twelve o'clock, and on going into the back I found the prisoner
Haskey there. • The wall is over ten feet high, and one must
have got upon the other's shoulders to reach the top of it. I
asked Broadbent (when he was brought in) what brought him
there And he gave me a very saucy reply, and desired me
to get him a brush for his clothes and water to wash his hands.
I said I wonder you did not come to housebreak in your gloves
and I wonder he did not, for his gloves were got in his pocket.
(Laughter) The watch and chain found on Haskey were
the
erethofrom £l4 to £l6. I think I saw Broadbent looking into

CLAIM FOR DAMAGE n Y A COLLISION.
Felix Hobin, the master of the French schooner Theophile
Felix, of Nantz, summoned Mr. Colbourne, the owner of the
ferry-steamer Wallasey, for £l7 15s. 6d., alleged damage,
caused by a collision on the night of the 3rd of October. Mr.
Block was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Colbourne appeared for
himself. The facts were short. Felix Hobin, the master of
the schooner, was examined, and said he arrived here, from
Nantz, on the 3rd of October, and was at anchor (with two
anchors) off Egremont, and had a pilot on board. The crew
were on deck at two o'clock in the morning, when the collision
took place. It would appear that on the night in question,
the Wallasey was at anchor a good way off, and it seemed she
dragged her anchor and came in contact with the schooner.
The pilot who had charge of the schooner said the steamer
must have come to a foul berth, and swung or dragged her
anchor, and thus caused the accident. The witnesses were
cross-examined by the defendant, and then Mr. Block put in
an estimate of the damage, as made by a surveyor. Mr. Col-
bourne called the captain of the steamer, who stated that the
schooner drifted on them at the ebb tide, and said he had
lights, but the schooner had none. The paddle-box was broken
in by the jibboom of the other vessel. The engineer of the
steamer was examined, and stated that the other vessel
dragged her anchor and went into the steamer, and made two
or three holes in her and stove in the paddle-box. Mr. Col-
bourne said he would leave the case, on its merits, to thn
opinion of the magistrates. The bench reviewed the whole cue,
and decided that the steamer was in fault, and ordered the
amount claimed to be paid.
