Thomas Williams, beerhouse-keeper, Norbury-street,
was charged for doing Business at illegal hours. Police-
officer 29 was the prosecutor in this case, and a .very
learned discussion took place between himself and Mr.
Cobb, on an Act of Parliament—the officer maintaining
his right to interpret the' act as he liked, but he.got an
awful " scraping" on his ignorance from Mr. Cobb.
The case was dismissed.

TIIE LIME-STREET WINE AND SUPPER-ROOMS.
William Baxter, keeper of the Lime-street wine and
supper-rooms, was summoned on two informations for
unlawfully allowing prostitutes to assemble in his house,
contrary to the act, &c. Mr. Cobb appeared for the
defendant. Inspector Dodd stated that at half-past
twelve o'clock on Tuesday morning last be found twenty-
six prostitutes and twenty-eight men in Mr. Baxter's
wine.house. Cautioned the defendant that if he allowed
them to remain he would lay information. At ten minutes
Past one he found six prostitutes, most of them drunk.
There were men also drunk there. Cross-examined .'by
Mr- Cobb : 1 cannot say how often the defendant was
convicted. "Ire is a free vintner, and cloteA'aVtw-elve' on
Saturday night. No one in Lime-street ever complained to
me of the defendant's house. All was orderly except what
I have stated. It is a house where prostitutes get refresh-
ments. Mr. Cobb Must not prostitutes get refreshments
as well as virtuous ladies? I suppose they can' flive ivithout
it. There are two informations against him, but I only have
one. It is a large place. I told Baxter aboUt it. They
were taking wine, but I did not see any coffee. Mr.
Cobb : By whose directions are the informations laid
Wellaye general instructions from Major Greig, and
under the Act of Parliament—l lay the information the
.game as in any other case. The last information I laid
was in Nov. 1859, butt was off that beat since. Sbme
of the women remained 35 or 40 minutes. The glasses
were wine glasses. There was no disorder in the house.
The second case was proved by Inspectors O'Brien
and Hough, who on the night of the 27th of November,
said there were thirty prostitutes and forty men in the
house. On a second visit, there were thirteen, and on a
third visit at two o'clock, there were seventeen women
there drinking wine; the women were mostly .the same
as on the first visit. In reply to Mr. Cobb, Inspector
O'Brien said there were general complaints, but afier
the former indictments there were not so many com-
plaints, but now the place was becoming very bad again.
Mr. Cobb then addressed the bench on behalf of defend-
ant, and contended that the acts of the women in the
streets could not be laid to the defendant's charge. He
argued at length on the case, an.' said these unfortunate
girls should have refreshments as well, as anyone
else. Mr. Wvbergh said, for the information of the
magistrates who were not on the bench some eighteen
months ago, he would mention ,that there was a
charge brought against a man named Smith, who kept
the rooms. There was a conviction, and there was an
appeal to the judges. The decision of the judges was,
that if prostitutes remained only as long in the house as
they, were taking refreshments, and were not guilty of
any impropriety or disorderly conduct, they had a right
to remain as long as they were partaking of the refresh-
ment; but if for any other purpose it was not lawful.
It would therefore be for the magistrates to say if the
parties had remained longer than was necessary to
partake of the refreshments, and if they had been guilty
of any other offence, or if they met for any immoral
purpose. The magistrates consulted for a few moments,
and then said considering that there was no charge
against the house for over twelve months, and as there
was no disturbance on the present occasion, they would
dismiss both informations.

Myres, 39 years of age, who lived in a court off Saltney,

THE LwEitPooL SOCIETY FOR THE

PROPOSED WORKSHOP FOR THEVNEMPLOYED
_ BLIND IN LIVERPOOL.

A meeting of those interested; in the establishment of
' a workshop for the unemployed blind of this town was
held yesterday afternoon in Hope Hall. The want of
such an institution has been long and severely felt. It
• has been ascertained that'there are about 600 'of these
afflicted people in Liverpool`, and for their, accommoda-
' tion there is only one establiAliment—the Blind School,
which can at most only accommodate between 70 sand
80. Besides the Blind School is, from its,very
tation, unable to properly supply the wants, of the-large
number of , afflicted persons in this and in other towns.
It floes not profess to find work for those who are with.-
outits walls, and there are many who. after leaving the
' Blind School, sink. from a scarcity of work to a state
of abject poyerty. "To supply such With the means of
' employment, and, at the same time, to enable them to
earn something, however small, is the mission," s*
• the promoters of the establishment, we have taken.
upon ourselves." A society similar in its objects and
working 'to the' one propesed is already established
~at i 7, Euston-road, London, under the title of the
Association for Promoting the General Welfare of the
Blind. With respect to the funds necessary to establish
the propOsed ,institution, it is anticipated that £l,OOO
will be sufficient to fit up and stock a suitable.shop,
an annual subscription of Mai to keep np its efficiency.
Of this sum £792 3s. has been already promised.
At the meeting yesterday there was 'a very large
atteridande, several blind persons being present. The
Lord Bishop of Chester preSided, and amongst other
gentlemen on the platform were R. A. Macfie,,Esq. ;
the Mayor (S: R. Graves, Esq.); Adam Hodgson, Esq„
Harmood Banner, Esq., J. Duncan, Esq.. _Rev. W.
Ealloon, Rev. Jos. I3ardsley, &c. The meeting having
been opened with prayer,
The CIaiRIVAN said he wished to say what a pleasure
it was to' meet them on this occasion, and to see so large
an attendance of kind friends. He knew very well that
in Liverpool eVery appeal that was Made for Charitable
objects was always freely and liberally answered, hut he
knew also that it Was ,Ify n'tettts an easy thing to
gather together a large meeting in the middle of the
• day. •He was glad to find that this ease was an excep-
' tion, and that there was a large meeting of friends;
particularly that they were honoured witluthe attendance
of the Mayor of Liverpool, who had so many calls upon
his, time that they must feel themselves under the
highest obligations to ,him for his kindness in coming to
the meeting. (Hear, hear.) They had also entertained
a hope of seeing another gentleman whose name would
have Veen kindly welcomed here—Mr. Horsfall. Ilut
he was sorry to sac' that that gentleman bad been pre-
vented from fulfilling hs promise, by receiving in-
telligence of the illness ol* a near relation. The
chairman hoped that we should hear ilia his friend had
been restored to health again; in the meantime,
they had to regret his absence, and the chairman
was quite sure /that though he was away, his
his heart would be with them. He then referred to the
special object of the society to be brought forward at
the meeting. -Ile• saw fry the paper that the society
which now met had been in operation for some time; •
employed in rendering emilfort in every way to blind
people at their own homes, particularly by giving theni
such instruction as they were capable of receiving ; and
he supposed the poor people were also encouraged to
such work as they were capable of doing; and now to-
day they proposed to open a repository, where the
articles might be sold on advantageous terms. Now,.as
to the direct object of such a saleroom, it was west
benevolent and charitable ; it spoke for itself, and
required no recommendation from him. The only ques-
tion which could arise, and which did arise, to his
mind, was this-Lwhether, directly Or indirectly, it would
have any injurious effect on other institutions. He
believed that it Wonld not. Could it interfere with
those tradespeople in the feWn who have shops for sell-
ing the same kind of articles Yvhieli would be sold at
the repository ? He asked that question when he was
first spoken to on the subject; and he received a plain
answer—that the repository would be conduCted not on
the principle of underselling the shopkeeper, but. the
articles would be charged at the same prices as id the
shops where the articles were sold; so that the only
way it could interfere would be by opening another
shop for 'the sale•Of the articles ; and that, in a large
town like ,Ltrerpool,., never can have any sen-
sible effect upon them. Now there was another
point upon which •he was rather anxious, namely,
whether. the establishment of this saleroom and deposi-
tory would in any way interfere with the operations .of
the Blind Asylum in Liverpool. He was sure that he
need not mention that institution without being -snit
that every one of them were anxious that they should
not affect injuriously the interests of that establishment,
He did not know of any which had been more honour
to Liverpool, or been m ore productive of blessings to
-the people for whom it -had teen deSigned. The
raCteristics of that institution were that it was a home
Or place ',where fany person labouring under the affliction
of blindness are tang,lit to read, and taught music ; and
thus they will be in some measure compensated for the
affliction under which they labour. After enlarging
upon the objects and working of the Blind Asylum, thee
rev. chairman proceeded to say that in this ease they
were not going to lodge and teach scholars, so that he
did not think there could be any collisfon -between.-the
two. They were all well aware that there was a sala;
room of the -Blind Asylum, 'to sell ai:tiele:s which' are
worked there by those who are now inmates of. the
asyluM, or by those who have formerly been: But they
must be very sure that in a town like , Liverpool there
was a very large class of blind persons who have never
been in the asylum at all. And here was a very fair
opening . for this society. They 'did not propose to
interfere with the already established institution, but
to take ,up-the class for which it did not at all pro-
vide; and, therefore, he was very glad to hear that
the. Blind Asylum people did not look upon it with
any but friendly feelings and hope that this institution
will prosper:` Were ,it otherwise, he: shonld:ibe some-
what backward to take upon himself any setting up,of an
institution that was likely to jar with another institution.
He did not • think much good was done' by continually
institutions, •
raising- new if they' are only employed
to the detriment of other institutions. In this case,
however, there would be only two shops instead of one,
and surely Liverpool had customers enough for both.
He hoped there were kind people who would make a
point of coining to this sale-room, because they would
get their money's worth, and because they would -be
assisting the cause' of the` blind: He entered into this
Most heartily, under the full impression that there could
be no real jar between the two, and he hoped there
would never be any jealousy or rivalry between the
friends of the Blind Asylum and the friends of this
institution. It was upon that ground that he had coin-
plied with the invitation to attend there, and he would
be. happy to forward in any way he could the objects of
the meeting. There were others present who 'could
speak on the subject better than himself. He was very
glad to see his friend Mr. Harmood Banner, who, being
so well acquainted with the Blind Asylum, could give
inforination as to the way in which it regarded the pro-
posed institution. He hoped that the friends of the one
were the friends of the other. The one thinglie had at
heart was to see the friends of both institutions working
together kindly and conjointly. ile.conclud4l4s able
address by calling upon the Rev. Mr. Harke to read the
report of the proceedings for the last year.
The Rev. Mr. Harke then read•the report, of which
the following is an abstract ;L---

The committee of the Home Teaching Society for the Blind
have great pleasure in again giving a report of the work
-entrusted to them. •
They rejoice that in these days of domestic missions the
operations of their society are truly such to the solitary.
dejected, and di,heartened blind of this large town. •
The efforts of their teacher hove extended far beyond the
original and first point—viz., that of learning them to read.
This is kept steadily in view as the one great object, and good
influences are constantly brought to bear• upon them on every
side. With. ".the law of kindness in her tongue" slie.urg,es
the keening of the Sabbath and the importance of cleanliness
and order. at home:-. She resents children from the streets,
encourages exertions for occupation, and lends most willing aid
to obtain it.
, . .
In cases of sickness her efforts are unwearied,. and. in eVery
sense she is the friend of her dark brothers and sisters.
Blind herself, her heart fully synipathiscs in their sorrows,
and longs to impart to them the only real gonsolation for their
common affliction.
During the past year 2,412 visits have been paid by this one
teacher to the blind in their own dwellings, no small labour.
scattered as they are between Princes'-park on the South, and
Stanley Dock on the North. Since the society eommencqi
351 blind have thus been sought out and Offered the benefits
of instruction. Some have declined the aid for various reasons,
but 176 have accepted it; and it may be interesting to E tate
that the persons thus taught vary in age from 5 to 75 years.
TO many, b'oth amongst the aged and the young, the teacher's
first visit is an eventof most happy and grateful,remembrance.

To the young, the hope of being able to react for themselves
is highly prized; while to the old, the restoration of so great
a blessing is a boon which its previous lots has taught them
very fully to appreciate.
" Reading a chapter to a blind person," as has been well
said, "is like giving a cup of cold water to a thirsty soul ; but
enabling him to read the Bible for himself, is like leading him
to a spring of water; from which he can slake his thirst, not
once or twice a week, but every day ; and even in the sleepless
hours of the night." •
The elder pupils, receiving a visit only once in three months,
continued to use with true thankfulness the good supply. of
books liberally provided for them in the free libraries both: at
the north and south end. of tile town.
The issue of volumes during the past year amounted to 714.
These are, of course, irrespective of the books supplied by our
society. •
Our subscribers and friends are by this time fully acquainted
with the system of embossed type adopted by the society, but
for the benefit of strangers it may be desirable to state that it
is the one invented by 'Mr. Moon, of Brighton, himself blind,
but who may be considered one of the greatest benefactors of
his class, not only from his invention of a character so simple

that it; can be learnt at any are, but from his persevering in-
dustry which, overcoming all obstacles, has enabled him to
stereotype the whole Bible in English, besides portions of it
in 26 other languagas. .His work is still going on ; his earnest
desire is that ultimately the Bible shall be given to the blind
as well as the seeing population of the whole world.
Several other works besides the Scriptures are also printed
by Mr. Moon : The Liturgy, Pilgrim's Progress,
England, Collections of Poetry, Sze, ; and if funds were
only at his disposal, he would still add •to what may at all
events be considered a nucleus of a general literature for the
blind.

for any of Ahem ,who could work. It Was with sincere regret
your committee learned that it was not within their province
to give the •relief required.

The committee were not discouraged, and determined to try
the experiment of opening a similarin institution

where the blind worker is enabled to get the full market value

only to be known in order to produce a liberal response. ,
His Worship the MAYOR rose to move the first reso
lution, and was received with great applause. He said
he had been requested to move the adoption of. the

hay been accorded the privilege of to feelingth o those Ntrilliaot
where a benevolent institution has struggled through
the day should,
ing its success, not to those who, at the last moment"
publicly announc
;

like himself,• had been called in• to shire in the success
in the-proceedings of that day. He had done nothing
whatever to promote , the success of the institution, for
he was ashamed to confess to them that until the last
two weeks the existence of the society was quite un-
known to him, and, when brought under his notice,
the same objection which the Lord Bishop had alluded
to. suggested itself to him—namely, that this was an
institutron starting up to share the support which the
parent institution in this town had so justly merited for
so long a period of time. He also felt that there was
no field for two such institutions to labour in the same
cause. • But when he' was assured that so far from
rivalry, the objects of this institution were those which
the parent institution were unable to undertake, and
that, so far from there being no field to labour in, we had
600 of our, fellow-beings in this town who are afflicted
with the loss of sight to labour for, he felt that this was
an institution entitled not only to his warmest sympathy,
but to his most earnest support. He was sure he need
only appeal to the details related in that most interesting
report which it had just been his lot to listen to for
evidence of the claims of the institution • to 'support.
Nothing could be more satisfactory than its past working,
'or more encouraging as regards its prospects for the
future, and he ventured to say that the promoters of the
institution never could have hoped that in three years
they would have been enabled to produce such a report
a's that they had listened to. Reviewing the career of
the society, it appeared to have been limited far some
years, and to have pursued its course of usefulness
almost unknown and unheard-of except amongst its
aim immediate' supporters. Gaining. confidence from
success, it was emboldened to use the means placed
within its disposal, and from year to year it had been
extended until it now stood before them and before the
public as a• most valuable and important institution ;
and lie would express the hope that an institution which
endeavoured to exhaust a field so full of practical
philanthropy would meet with that support which had
never been refused in this town to deservinfr
objects, in' order . that it may more effectually fulfil
its mission. We had in this town many in..
stitntiois for the relief of that distress of which so
many instances were found in the streets, in the courts,
and in the lanes, But if for a moment they considered
the 'unutterable hopelessness, the 'entire inability for self-
support, and the dependence upon friends which such
distress involved, when accompanied by a loss of sight,
we must feel that the appeal came in a shape which was
resistless ; and when made, as it was that day, for the
greatest accumulation of distress to which suffering
humanity was liable, hard indeed must be the heart of
the person who, possessing the means, refused to respond
to the appeal. (Applause.) Allusion had been made to
the workshop, Or repository, which it was contemplated
to open ; and he was aware that there were persons
present who could bring this subject more prominently
before them than himself, he would not, therefore,
refer to it, except to state his conviction that he
regarded it as one of the most important and vital
parts connected with the working of the society,
He had no doubt whatever that it only required to be
known to enable the committee to carry it out imme-
diately. It only remained for him to move the adoption
of the report which-had been read, and that it be printed
and circulated. In asking their approval of those
names be thought he might cordially congratulate the
society on ha.ving such a list on their committee for the
guidance of the society during the ensuing year, and he
thought further that he might congratulate the 600 blind
persons on the efforts being made on their behalf. In
conclusion, he would congratulate those ladies who had
undertakers such a labour of love for the coming season.
(Applause.)
The -Venerable Archdeacon JONES seconded the reso-
lution. After alluding to the disadvantages of multiply-
ing societies of an exactly similar character, he said it
appeared to him that, independent of the existence of a
blind institution, there was still a wide field that that
honourable institution couid not occupy. Its object
was of a home character, whereas the one for which
.they had met that afternoon to promote was out of
doors, and nothing whatever bad yet taken place in the
old institution, which could possibly be interfered with by
the operations of the proposed institution. The objects
of the society was, indeed, one that recommended itself
to every heart and to every bosom. Blindness
itself 'was such a trial that no one could properly
estimate it who had not experienced the want
of sight himself, even where it pleased the Almighty
Providence -to bestow all that was needful for
this life; even where there' was an abundance of this
world's pleasures and comforts, blindness was a very
severe trial. The reverend gentleman afterwards spoke
of the benefits that the blind themselves would derive
from the existence of such an institution as the pro-
posed. 'Many poor blind in Liverpool who had learnt
a trade made mats or baskets, but in some' cases the
wife of the man had to go about the town for upwards
of half a day before they sold one mat or basket, and
then the profit out of that was, perhaps, twopence.
This, no doubt, caused frequent disappointment among
those poor blind men ; but, instead of that very
deplorable state of things, for the future they would
be 'encouraged in their labours by the establishment
of, a workalsep, where they could
.sell their articles, and
receive a fair equivalent. They would then feel that
they could do something to benefit themselves, something
to benefit their families, and something to benefit society.
Here, then, came in the use of this new institution. It
would be an advantage to those who had learnt a trade;
while those who had not learnt a trade could be taught
one, and could get work out to do at home, or at the
place, because he 'loped the avoikshops would he suffi-
ciently large to accommodate
.men who were desirous of
being taught a, trade,,
the resolution was-put and cartried..l If tm
Mr. G. Duu-cart propoaad the second resolution,
which was as follows :—" That this meeting, having
regard, to the distress e'xisting' amongst_
,the blind of
Liverpool 'and this neighboilrhood, cordially" approve
and earnestly recommend the establishment of an insti-
tution, to• be called ' The' Liverpeol S-ticiety for the
Welfare of the Blind,' haying, for its object to find
employment for those who can work, and also to miti-
gate' the disadiantages of their sad affliction ; to be
carried Out, so far as practicable, on the plan of the
society existing
.at Euston-read, London." In doing so
he said it was proposed, in addition' to the workshop, to
purchase materials for use in the trades of the blind, and
to 'supply them at the lowest possibig prides.
The resolution, was Seconded' by, Mr. Adam Hodson,
and afterwards put and carried. ---
A collection was then made towards the funds of the
society.
Mr. HARMOOD BANNER "then briefly addressed the
meeting, and expressed a hope that the two institutions
would act as auxiliary to each other, and not as rivals.
The CHAIRMAN read a letter from Mr. Hewett, M.P.,
expressing his approbation of the institution, and also
another from Mr. John Cropper._ _

Mr. *STEA.INS; in mooing the third resol tion, said the
business of the• Corporation was divided into com-
mittees ; and he, as a member of the Library Committee,
might give them a short account of what the Corpora-
tion had done for the welfare of the blind.. They had
from time to time voted grants for 160 volumes of em-
bossed hooks, for the use of which they bad forty-eight
regular borrowers and readers. During the last year
896 volumes had been circulated among the forty-eight
borrowers. The speaker concluded by moving that, for
promoting the objects of the institution, a committee be
formed, and that the following appointments be made.
and are hereby confirmed :—Fatron : The Right Rev.
the Lord Bishop of Chester. Trustees : T. B. Horsfall,
Esq., .M.P. ; the Mayor of Liverpool, S. R. Graves;
Esq. Gentlemen's Committee : W. 11. Jones, Revs.
Joseph Bardsley, P. N. Harke, C.NY:Newmann ; J. K.
Rounthwaite, G. Duncan, and W. Chambers.
R. A. Macfie, Esq., seconded the resolution, which
was put-and- carried. •
The CHAIRMAN then announced that £4O had been
produeect by: the collection whieb had just heel made,
He had been desired to mention another circumstance.
It was understood that; to carry out this new organi-
sation—of having a depository, and workshop,—there
would be something like £l,OOO required to give the ex-
periment a fair chance, and towards it there had already
been £BOO contributed—(applause)—so that there only
remained 'a
very small sum to be collected, and he hoped
that the philanthropists of Liverpool would be, early in
their application to fill up the deficiency. Another cir-
cumstance he might mention, also, was that out of the
£BOO, £3B liad:been,collected' by the efforts- of the blind
themselves.
A' vote of thanks to the chairman was proposed by
the Rev. Mr.' Burton; after which a short prayer was
offered up, and the meeting separated.
A tea party was afterwards held in the schoolroom
under the hall. •
