RECEIVING STOLEN LARD.

John Reed, a grocer carrying on business in Limokiln-lime,
was brought up by detective officers Patrick and Laycock, on
a charge of having received a quantity of lard that had been
stolen from Messrs. Irving, lard refiners, Duke-street. Mr.
Cobb appeared for the prisoner. It may be remembered that
on Saturday (see our police reports of Monday) a man named
Unsworth, who was in Messrs. Irving's employment, was sent
for trial on a charge of having stolen a quantity of lard, and a
man named Duffy was also committed for receiving it; and
subsequently to that, the officers heard that Duffy was in the
habit of selling lard to the prisoner. They went to his place,
and asked him had he any lard from Duffy, and he pointed
out two bladders, stating that was all he had. They had
received information that on Saturday the prisoner had
removed a quantity of lard to the cellar under the stillage of a
public house next door to him, and the officers told the
prisoner that fact, and he admitted having done so. On
searching the place, they got over two hundred weight of
lard in bladders there, and it :was recognised as the same sort.
that had been stolen from Messrs. Irving's. These facts were
proved by officers Patrick and Laycock. Patrick, in reply to
Mr. Cobb, said the prisoner told him that Duffy had left the
lard there, and that he had not room for it, and then he put it.
into Mr. Hewit's (the public house) cellar next door, as the
back door of the prisoner's place leads into the back door of
the public house. John Whitehead, the manager of the
public house alleged to belong to Mr. Hewit, was examined,
and in reply to Mr. Kehoe he said, I manage the public house
in Limekiln-lane for Mr. Makin. Mr. Raffles : Why, it was
stated that Mr. Hewit is the owner of the public house.
Officer Patrick : So he is, sir. Whitehead said Mr. Makin was
the owner. Mr. Raffles : How is this? There is some
jumble in this. The witness said Mr. Makin was the
licensed person for the house, but Mr. Hewit was the
owner of the property. Mr. Raffles : Who is Mr.
Makin then? Witness : He is the step son of Mr. Heirst.
Does he live on the premises? He does not sleep there, bat in
a house some four hundred yards off, and is a tripe merchant.
Mr. Raffles : I think this house ought to be brought before
the licensing magistrates, as there is something wrong about
it. The witness went on to say that the back door of the
prisoner's house and that of the public house were together,
and on Saturday the prisoner told him he had bought a quan-
tity of lard, and had not room for it in the shop or yard, and
that he wanted to put it into our cellar in a cool place. I wale
under the impressioh that he had liberty to do so from Mr.
Makin. Mr. Raffles : I want to know who this Mr. Makin is ?
Witness : He is the son-in-law of Mr. Ileirst. the owner of the
property. Mr. Kehoc : We will put him in the box. Mr.
Raffles : [Let us go on with the facts of this case, as it is quite
clear he is not a fit person to have a license. Let the case be
enquired into and reported to the licensing magistrates. I
suppose Mr. Hewit has a public house some place else t
Patrick : He has, the " Traveller's Rest," in Scotland-road.'
Mr. Raffles : Very well, go on with the facts of this case. The
Witness in reply to Mr. Kehoe, said he never knew the
prisoner to put anything into the cellar before ; no one could
see the prisoner removing the lard from his place to the cellar,
but witness saw him. Mr. Cobb : Do you swear he said he
bought the lard, or thathe got it ! lam not sure which he said.
Mr. Makin was examined, after which Mr. Trying. one of the
firm of that house was examined, and said the lard was the same
as they had and was worth 755. a hundred weight. Patrick said
the man Unswerth, who was in the employment, said the lard
to Duffy at 2d. per pound, and Duffy sold it to the present
prisoner for 34d. Mr. Cobb asked his worship if he thought
there was sufficient evidence to send the prisoner for trial on a
charge of receiving stolen property? Mr. Raffles : I will let a
jury decide that, for I will send him for trial. Mr. Cobb : He
is a respectable man and will you take bail ? Mr. Raffles •
I will consider that. The prisoner was sent for trial.
OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES.

Detective-officer Eaton brought up a young man named
Thomas Fletcher, lately a clerk in the employment of Mr.
Whard Craig, engineer, Birkenhead, on a charge of having
obtained £7O on false representations from Messrs. Smith and
Baker, saw-mill proprietors. Canada Dock. It appeared from
a statement made by Mr. Kehoe, that the prisoner, from his
position of clerk to the prosector, knew who was indebted to
him, and on Monday he went to the office of Messrs. Smith and
Baker, Regent-road, and stated that he was sent for £lOO. He
got a cheque for £7O, which he got cashed at Moss's bank, and
was about to abscond when he was arrested by detective-
officer Eaton. Eaton said—at half-past five on Monday
evening he arrested the prisoner at Lime-street station on the
charge, and on searching him he got £7B in gold, and lOs ad in
silver on him. Mr. Copeman appeared for the prisoner, and
cross-examined the officer, but nothing was elicited. Mr.
Robert Craig said the prisoner was a clerk with him, and his
duty was to keep the men's time. He had no authority to go
for the account to Messrs. Smith's. Witness called at Messrs.
Smith on Saturday for money, but Mr. Smith was
out, and witness went to his office to pay the
men, and said to the prisoner, " go and get me change, to pay
the men, as I have not got money from Mr. Smith, who is out,
but I will go on Monday and get it." The prisoner did not
come to his business on Monday, and he suspected something,
and went to Mr. Smith's, and found the prisoner had got £7O,
but he did not give him any authority whatever to get it. We
then gave information to the police, and was with the officer
when he arrested the prisoner. In reply to Mr. Copeman, the
witness said the prisoner had collected money without special
authority. His salary was 245. a-week ; he has a wife who
keeps a beerhouse in Prince Edwin-lane. He has five children.
Mr. Smith said : The prisoner came to my office on Monday
morning, and said Mr. Craw was very angry he did not
get his money on Saturday, aad that he had a heavy bill to
pay, and said he was sent for £lOO. I gave him this cheque
for £7O on account, and took his receipt for it. , A gentleman
from Mr. Moss's bank, proved having paid the cheque. The
prisoner was sent for trial, and on the application of Mr. Cope-
man, his worship said he would take two sureties in £OO each
for his appearance.
CHARGE OF UTTERING A FORGED BILL OF
EXCHANGE.

John Constantine, who was twice remanded on a charge of
having uttered an alleged forged bill of exchange, surrendered
to his bail. The details of this case were published twice
recently. Mr. Cobb appeared for the accused. Mr. Kehoe
said he must ask for a remand, as he was not yet prepared
with the necessary evidence to complete the case. The appli-
cation was not resisted by Mr. Cobb, and the accused was
again remanded, but allowed out on the same bail. He com-
plained that the case should be thus dealt with, as he was
innocent of the charge.
STEALING FROM A SHOP.

A female, who gave the name of Catherine Watts, was

charged with having stolen thirty-six yards of ribbon from the
shop of Mr. Davis, Great Homer-street. The prisoner was a
respectable looking and well-dressed person, and said to be a
milliner in Mill-street, and was defended by Mr. Bluck.
Officer 869 said when the prisoner was given in charge, she
said she lived in Manchester, and that it was the drink that
did it. The pros-tutor said the prisoner entered the shop
under pretence of making a purchase, and whilst there she
stole the ribbon, which was taken from her. Mr. Bluck
addressed the court, and asked for a remand until her charac-
ter was inquired into. She was remanded.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.—Lowness of Spirits,.
Hypochondriacism, Insanity. These formidable diseases are
usually caused by a disordered condition of one or more of the
digestive organs, and most deplorably commence at the meri-
dian of life. The distressing symptoms need no enumeration;
they are known in some degree to the wisest and best of man-
kind, as well as the weakest. Whenever the liver, stomach,
and kidneys are roused, the morbid feelings and idea.s vanish.
To effect this happy result, nothing more is needed than fric-
tion over those organs with Holloway's Ointment, whilst his
Pills are likewise taken. The change of thought is immediate,
happy, and lasting. Those whom these medicines have cured.
