charge. The officer said—l was on duty last. night in
London-road, when a gentleman informed me that a Jady
was asleep on some steps, and that there was a big dog
.guarding her. I went to the place and saw Miss
Freston there, with a dog standing sentry over her. I
apprdaelted tti *:iert het, when the do &-,, flew at me like
a tiger, arid s'i;crtild itfe near her, After sonic
time she, awoke, and, jumping up, -raii 6i me, aldng
with the dog: and it was as much as I could do to save
Myself from both. She' aimed afrnY Tace, and the dog
at my legs, and then she accused me of stealing 2s.
from her. I had to get another officer to assist me, and
it was as much as we could do to capture herself and
her dog. Mr. Raffles; Was, she drunk ? Yes, sir.
Prisoner! Excuse me for using plaht English when I
tell vdif siritply yott lie. Permit me .(to Mr. Raffles) to
tell YOU that I 114 d fight to,sleep there if I wished it,
and when that fel ow came Up he mace most infamous •
'proposals to me, which I rejected, and thente stole
'frOrn me, and wound up his infamy by dragging me to
the •station-house. The Bridewell-keeper said the
prisoner was drunk and very disorderly at the station: •
'She told the same story thereto him about the officer
taking the 2s. from her as she told now, but the officer
denied the statement. His worship sent her to jail for
I 4 days; in default of payinrr ss. and costs.
CHARGE AGAINTST A MARINE STORE DEALER.
John Duffy, •a Marine store dealer in Mellor-street,
Great howler-street, Was brought up on remand
,by
detectives Redman and Marsden, on a charge of haling,a
large quantity of yellow metal, copper:broken gas-
fittings, brass taps, lead piping, and other property in .
his store, for the proper possession of which lie could
not account, not having any entry in his book of the'
property, nor could he tell where he procured it. The
details of this case were published a few days ago. Mr.
Carr now appeared for the prisoner, and Cross examined
the officers, but the facts were not disturbed. His
worship fined the prisoner h 3 for not ,being, able to
account for the possession of the property;
SPRIOUS INJURY TO A SOY:
§killii4;,s a boy who liteS fit a &dirt off St.,
Andrew-street, was charged for having thrown a
quantity of lime mortar in the face of a lad named.
Henry Townley, an apprentice to Messrs. Earle.
Inspector Carlisle had charge of the case ; and from his'
'statement and the evidence, it appeared that about half
past six on the evening of the 30th October, the injured
lad, was passing up Copperas-hill, Where there was a
building being carried on, and it seems there were some
lads inside, amongst them the defendak A boy named
Woodward stated, that the defendant threw a handful
Of mortar dat of the building into the street, and it
calm right into the eyes of the lad ToWrilev, injuring.
one of the organs very much, and it is feared lie will be
permanently injured. Several lads were examined, but
their evidence was so conflicting, that his worship said
he could not convict on it, and therefore lie must dismiss
the complaint. Mr. William Earle, (T.C.) said the
injured boy was an apprentice in his counting-house,
and a most deserving lad he was, who attended to his
business in the most creditable manner, and it Was
lamentable to find that he was nearly deprived of the
means of earning his bread, by the acts of vicious boys
In the street. Mr. Raffles said if the case had been
proVed against anyone, he would have punished the
party Most severely.

Inspector Read summoned John Guy, butcher, James's
Market,, for exposing 4921h5. of bad beef for sale. Mr.
Cobb appeared for the defendant, and asked the inspector
how lie knew the beef belonged to him ? He replied
that Guy at first denied it was his, but when witness,
seized and was taking it away, the defendant said he
shoiild not do so as it was his property. Mr. Cobb :
And do you seize carcasses of beef in this summary way?
Yes, When they are bad. How do you know it was bad?
I took it to John's Market and had it examined by a
jury. Mr. Cobb : What test did' you use ? My eye
sight. And was it all bad? Yes, livers and lights and
all. Mr. Cobb thought the defendant punished suffi-
ciently already, as he lost his beast, which cost
him
seven or eight pounds. -The magistrates fined him 10s.
and costs. .
CAUTION TO BOARDING-ROUSE KEEPERS.
Margaret Foley, the keeper of a sailors' boarding-
house in Union-street, was charged by Mr. Murphy, of
the Local Marine Board, under the following circum-
stances. It appeared that a short time ago a black
sailor named Millen arrived here, and that he left £5
10s. with the defendant to keep for him. He took ill
and went to the hospital, and when he came out lie
demanded his money. It was refused on the ground,
that he owed the defendant money, but this was totally
disproved, and the Magistrates censured the conduct of
the defendant, and ordered her to pay the amount,
£5 103. and,los. costs, or go to jail for two months.
• THREATENING A WIFE.
A respectable-looking man, named JohnsWilsor,
scribed as a grocer at Clubmoor, West- Derby. was
charged by his wife with having threatened to kill her.
Mr. Cobb was for the complainant. It appeared from
his statement, and the evidence, that the parties were
separated, and that some days ago the defendant went to
his wife's house to demand some things, but not getting
what he wanted he made use of bad threats. He was
103. and costs.
CHARGE UNDER THE EMIGRATION ACT:

John M-Quade, a licensed emigrant runner, was sum-
moned by Mr. Povey, of the •Government Emigration-
office, for not using his badge whilst conveying emigrants.
Povey stated that the defendant was conveYinz emigrants
to a ship, and that he had not his badge exhibited at the
time, as he Should have, according to act of Parliament.
Mr. Ennis, a gentleman from the office of Messrs. Sabel
and Searle, 'said the defendant was not guilty of any
breach of the law. There were some emigrants going
from his office to the steam-tug at the landing-stame;
but as they did not know the way, and as the defendant
was going in that direction, he asked him to take them,
which he, did without fee or reward of any kind. This
being the case, the complaint was dismissed. _
