INTRAMURAL INTERMENTS,

The Rector has sent the following letter to the home
Office : Liverpool, Anzust 12, 18.56.

Sir,—Being anxious to obey the Order in Council for discon-
tinuing burials in St. Martin's parochial cemetery, in Liverpool,
as promptly as possible,. more pa-ticularly in the heated state
of the atmosphere, I informed the churchwardens that after
Sunday, August 17, I sliouldUot permit the office for burial
to be used there; but, upon their representing that this would
occasion inconvenience, as the parish surveyor had not com-
pleted his arrangements for laying out the ground at the
Liverpool parochial cemetery in Walton, I consented to extend
the time, and informed them that unless I received an older
to the contrary from the Secretoty of State; the offiAating
minister would continue to pet form the service in St. Martin's
cemetery until Sunday, the 31st of August, officiating there
on that day for the last time. Trusting that this arrangement
will not be disapproved of by the Secretary of State, I have
the honour to remain, your very obedient servant,

. _
• A. CAMPBELL, Rector of Liverpool.
The Under Secretary of State, Horne Departtnent.
[We understand that St. John's churchyard will al,o be
closed, except for private vaults and graves, and that the new
parocial cemetery at Walton will be opened immediately -for
the interment of parishioners, on payment of the accustomed
fees.]

(REPORT', MR. J. 11. FMITIL)

SHOP LIFTING —Two young women, very well dressed,
who gave their names as Anne Shaughnesy and Jane
Nuttall, were charged with stealing two shawls, value
355, from the shop of Mr. Thomas Rogers, St: James's-
pliee. From the evidence of a young man, named
Stephen Evans, will is in the employment of Mr.
Rogers, it appeared that the prsoners went to the shop
and purchased a cheap bonnet, and whilst engaged look-
ing at some mantles, they were suspected of taking
something, and subsequently one of the prisoners
dropped the shawls from under her dress. The prisoners
were remanded-to this day, in order to produce witnesses
who saw them take the shawls

111 E " WOMAN " AMONGST VIE TAILORS.--,Tiore is e
31d adage of " the d--1 amongst the tailors," but in IT
present case, it seems that Mrs. Mary Tierney was
individual that kicked up the rtiekehia amongst the
"fraternity,". in Pity-street, on the 27th ult. A
" gentleman " belonging to the " profession," named
Joseph Deegan, who resides up a passage in Pitt street,,
summoned Mrs. Tierney for an assault. Mr. Dodd was
for the complainant,' and Mr. Hughes for the defence.
From the evidence of the complainant, it appeared that
he had been for three months trying to buy a new coat.
for his. back, and having accomplished that feat, he!
he put it on, on Sunday the 27th, and was going out to.
take a walk. The passage alluded to is, as he stated,
according to his " measure," exactly thirty inches wile,
and on the day mentioned, the following circumstances
transpired. It appeared that the husband of the
defendant is a tailor, as well as Mr. Deegan, and that
for some reason, there was not as geol a feeling between
them as there is known to have existed between
Damon and Pythias. Now Mrs. Tierney is the mother
of a " blessed baby," about two and a half years old,
and this infant is considerably more than thirty inches
in diameter. The uno.her being very fond of the afore.
said baby, placed it in the passage, and this obstruction
so effectually blocked up the way, that Mr. Deegan was
prevented from making egress into the street, in order
to visit some friends and exhibit his new coat. For the
purpose of removing the obstruction, he took up the baby,
and put it out of his way. Deegan might as well have
accomplished the feat of passing into parliament,
as passed the passage without "killing" the "babby "
in order to avoid a trial for manslaughter, he
,took up the child in his arms passed on, and then
laid it down as quietly as a sucking dove, and was on his
way to show his new coat to some friends, when Mrs -
Tierney, and several other " ladies" made an attack a la
Inkermann on him—tore his face, tore his trousers, tore
the. hair out of his head, and the unkindest cut of all
was reserved for his new coat, that cost him £2 14s, and
this they tore in pieces altogether. They beat him with
a cane, and " mallette 1" him with a smoothing iron (a
goose), and, he added with with great naivete, " they
made a glomorated' show and example of me," • This
tale of woe was fully corroborated by two young ladies,
one with fiery red hair, the other " with tresses dark as
raven's wing," and a' vast amount of fun was caused on
their cross-examination by Mr. Hughes, who held up a
cane that might have been mistaken for a large straw,
at the same time that Mr Tierney held hrgh up to the
gaze of the court his " blessed baby" that caused first,
the annoyance in the-30-inch passage, and then a great
deal of laughter in court. He produced several witnesses
for the defence, and these placed the blame on the Deegan
-party, and said that Mrs. Tierney was prematurely con-
fined in consequence of the ill-usage. she got After a
long investigation, the charge was dismissed,and the
partied left, loooking "scissors" at each other,

SAULT.—Mrs. Anne Crawford, of School-
lane, charged a man namel M'eartney for
having assaulted her. It appeared that the prisoner
formerly lodged at the complainant's house, hut was
sent away for bad conduct. On Sunday he entered th
house, and, without the least provocation, struck her
several violent blows, and knocked her down. The
prisoner was sent to gaol for one month.

o
CHARGE (G, ASSAULT AND ILL-USAGE ON THE Hum
SEAS - Edward B. Drinning, master of the ship
Bloomer, and his mate, were summoned by the steward
of the ship, Henry Chesiian, for having tcsaulted him;
and there was another charge under the 190th section
of the Merchant Shipping Act, against the captain, for
ill-usage of the complainant, which itaflietS a penalty of
£2O on masters of ships who violate the act. Mr.

Campbell was for the complainant ; and Mr. Black, who
%cis for the defence, raised an objection to the charge
under the 190th section, to the t ffcet, that it did not apply
in the present case, and after looldng it, Mr. MAnstield
agreed in the objection, and dismissed the complaint in
that respect. The charg, sof ass cult were then gone
into, and proved ; but it was shown that great pro-
vocation had been given, and in consideration of
tins the d fendants were fined 5s each, which they at
once paid, and were discharged.

ROYAL OAK BURIAL SOCIETY AGAIN ! !!

Yesterday morning, the proceedings of the above named
society were again brought under the notice of J. Pollock,
Rig., Judge, at the County Court, which was crowded by
a large number of members, anxious to hear his Honour's
decision, relative to the aff irs of the society.
Mr. Hull, who has conducted the business for the inves-
tigation, and Mr. Martin, who appeared for the late office
hearers of the society, were in attendance. As soon as his
Honour had taken his seat at the bench,
Mr. Hull said: Your Honour will allow me to mention
the case of the Royal Oak Burial Society, which has been
befOrey our Honour on several occasions,and at your Honour's
suggestion it was adjourned, for the purpose of coming to
some arrangement. We have made several ineffectual
attempts to come to some arrangement, but I am Sorry to
say that our efforts have boen unsuccessful. Therefore, as
this was the day the case was to have come on, I thought it
right to mention it to your Honour, as I shall on some
future day have to make an application to the court, which
will save the funds of the society from much expense and

His. Honour : I regret exceedingly that the society which
has such largo funds at its disposal should not have made
such arrangements as would have prevented my again
having to interfere with their affAirs. Seeing by the
papers, that the difference had not been settle 3, I have been
carefully looking through the act of parliament to see what
powers are given me by that act, and if they cannot arrange
their differinces it will be my duty, in order to prevent
any One person interfering with the fonds of the society,
to prevent the money being► touched, until these differences
are satisfactorily settled.

Mr, Hull : I have thus far abstained from entering into

any details in order to save your Honour's time, as it will
have to come before your Honour on a future day.

His Honour : I do not give any opinion as to who is to
be blamed for the present state of things ; bat this I will
sat, that I will save the society and its funds, and I will
stop it with the powers I have, and prevent any persons
from dealing with the funds. I say again, I have looked
over the act, and I have full powers, by injunction, to do
so. I can have it served on the president, the trus-
tees, or the collectors, in order to prevent their inter-
fering improperly with the funds, which I shall do, if
any anolication is made to me. Have powers, under that
'act, which some persons little think I have, and if some
settlement is not made, I shall be obliged to deal with some ,
of the efficers in a way they little think of. I can impose
penalties and have the same power of commitment as any
of the judt'es of the lard.
Mr. Hull : I am sure that statement from your Honour
will give confidence to the public.
His Honotir : I have thought it light to say that much,
and that I shall do all that I can to secure the funds of the
society from misappropriation, and that I shall deal with
any person who may so misappropriate them in a way
they little think about. I will use the fall powers I possess,
and enforce the penalties attached to the act if an arrange-
ment be not made. I do not know who is to be blamed,
all I have to do is to do that which I believe will he bene-
ficial to the members, and give security to the society. I
had hoped that the members would have come to some
arrangement, and I hope so still, and that they will
arrange their own affairs and prevent my putting in force
the powers which I possess, and which powers, however
stringent, I will put in force to prevent any misappropria-
tion of the funds, and prevent some of the members pursuing
the reckless course they have been doing of late. I shall do
this for the benefit of the society, and' the security of the
public.

SADLEIR'3 BANK TRANSACTIONS IN

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE

The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Newcastle
Commercial B tnk was held on Friday. Mr. C. Garbutt, of
Gateshead, pr .siding. The representatives of the press were
excluded .but a shareholder who was present furnished
to one of the local prints the particulars of what transpired.
The report of the directors was read by Mr. Lackey Harle,
solicitor. It stated that the business of the bank was dis-
posed.of last year to certain gentlemen in London, who
were to pay each, or par price, for the shares, with five
per cent. inttrest to the date of payment in October, 1866.
A deed to this effect was drawn and signed by the pur-
chasers, Messrs R. IL Kennedy, James Sadleir, and J. F.
Law. These gentlemen constituted the London board, and
Messrs. W. Walker and C. Garbutt acted as directors in
Newcastle. Soon after this arrangement cash and bills
were transferred to the extent of upwards of £50,000 to the
London dtrectars, and it was found that most of this money
was employed to meet the liabilities of the 1 ipperary Bank.
On this discovery being made by the Newcastle directors',
the Lo.tdon connection was closed, and steps taken to wind

It was also stated that the directors held the Tipperary
B Lnk bills included in the assets, and had endeavoured to
prove upon them, but had not yet succeeded, Jawing to
obi acles interposed by James Sidleir.
The rep ut was adopted, and the following directors were
appointed :—W. Waker, IL Kennedy, James Pollock,
and John Bourne. The last two are new directors.

Mr. Partridge, solicitor, of Virtrfrighturt, as representing
Mr. Kennedy's interests, then addressed the meeting
explanation of that gentleman's position. e Contended
that the agreement referred to was not one which bould b 9
enforced, but offered to meet the shareholders in a fair end
liberal spirit, in order to avoid litigation and expense.
Mr. Partridge read "a case" which had been submitted to
Mr. Ruh, Chancery barrister, whose opinion was that the
osntr ,et with Mr. Kennedy and others could be enforced
only in Chancery on the suit of each shareholder. Mr.
Kennedy, he added, was willing- to negotiate with any of
the shareholders, arid in support of that gentleman's posi-
ti, n, he mentioned that the money applied to the Tipperary
Bank was a transaction which took place prior to the lath
of November, the day on which Mr. Kennedy signed did
contracf. Mr. Harle denied the trivia of the last statements
Tho contract, be said, was sent down from. London, in Chia
signed by Mr. Kennedy and Mr. James Sadleir
that af,erwards some interlineations were made ; and
another e lay drawn and signed by Mr. Kennedy in the
early part of November ; that the original contract was
still in existence, and in the possession of Mr. Walker.
Toe meeting then separated, with the understanding that
the directors would wait till Octeber, and then claim the
completion of the disputed agreements
