POLICE COURT
.-__v E STE RDAY

(BEFORE MR. SANDS.)
STEALING A WATCH.—On Monday night William
Cicely, the mate of a ship, was robbed of his watch, and
on Tuesday two women, named Bridget Callaghan and
Jane Ferns, were stopped by officer Bolton, 702, offer-
ing the watch for pledge, at Mr. Wilkins' pawn shop,
Bevington-hush. The prisoners were remanded.
ILLEGAL PLEDGING.—A very miserable looking female,
named Catherine M'Gonikle, was charged with illegally
pledging eight pairs of trowsers, the property of Mr.
Jonathan Lee, outfitter. The trowsers were given to the
prisoner to make, and when she finished them she
/ pledged them at several pawnshops, amongst whom
were Mr. Gossen, in the Park. His Worship told the
person who appeared for Mr. Gossen, that he must very
well know the woman did not get the things honestly.
His Worship censured the conduct of the pawnbrokers
in strong terms. Mr. Clough complained of the conduct
of two pawnbrokers, Mr. Pickup and Mr. Philips, who
had taken in some of the property, and were requested
to be present, but had not attended. His Worship
spoke strongly of such conduct on the part of the
pawnbrokers, and ordered the prisoner to be remanded
for the present.
THEFT BY A SERVANT.—NIT. John Scott, of Spencer-
street, charged Grace Ogle, late his servant, with having
stolen a quantity of wearing apparel. Suspicion attached
to the prisoner, and it was found that she had purloined
a variety of property, which was clearly proved, and
the prisoner was committed for trial.
THE £lO4 ROBBERY.—The five females who were
remanded on a charge of robbing William Coughran of
the above sum, were again brought up, Mr. flock
appeared for the prisoners. The prosecutor did not
attend, as the policeman said he had to go into the
country on business. Mr. Bluck called on his Worship
to discharge the prisoners, as there was no evidence ;
even had the prosecutor been present, he could not offer
any evidence. The prisoners were discharged accord-
ingly.

AN ARTFUL DODGER CAUGHT.--GeOrge Walker, an
elderly person, was brought up on remand, on a charge
of having in his possession a quantity of knives and
forks belonging to Mr. E. Whiteman, proprietor of
the Brunswick Hotel, Clayton-square. Detective officer
Eaton had the prisoner in charge, and from his state-
ment, and the evidence in support of it, the facts
were these : —Som e ti me last week, a note
was received at the establishment of Mr. Braithwaite,
Ranelagh street, ironmont7er, purporting to be written
by Mr. James Benson, of Woolton. This note ordered
a quantity of cutlery to be sent on hire, and a second
quantity on purchase. Some time after, the prisoner
called and asked for a parcel for Mr. Benson, at the
same time producing another note, as he alleged from
Mr. Benson. An assistant at Mr. Braithwaite's, said he
was making up the parcel at the time, and as Mr.
Whiteman lent out such good on hire as were required.
he got as much as were wanted from him, as the house
had originally made a quantity for Mr. Whiteman. The
parcel was subsequently delivered to the prisoner, who
took it away. It further appeared that the prisoner sold
the property which belonged to Mr. Whiteman, which
was valued at upwards of £3, to a Mrs. Gill, who keeps
the Farmers' Arms, Park-road. for 6s. The next dodge
practised by the prisoner, was to send a no'e to Mr.
Braithwaite, ordering cutlery to be sent to a beer-
house, kept by Mrs. Grundy, in Wavertree-road. The
parcel was sent by a boy, who delivered it. Some short
time after, the prisoner called for and took away the
parcel, the contents of which (knives and forks) he sold
to Mrs. Simpson, of the Earl Gray, Dale-street. These
facts being proved, and Mr. Benson having proved that
he never sent any order for goods, nor did he know
anything about the prisoner, he was fully committed for

Before the rising of the court, persons from the pawn-
shops complained of by Mr. Clough, attended in
reference to the case of the woman M'Gonikle, and they
stated that they received trowsers in pledge from the
prisoner. Mr. Sands said the conduct of the pawn-
brokers was highly improper. They most know that
such a wretched looking creature could not get the
property in a legitimate way. Mr. Clough said it
was no wonder the prisoner was such a wretched
looking creature, as she only got "3d a pair" for
binding the trowsers at the top and bottom, for work-
ing the button holes, and putting on the buttons, and
this would occupy nearly half a day. The prisoner was
committed for one month.

Suspicious.--A young man named John Jones was
brought up on suspicion of having a stolen gold watch
in his possession. The prisoner offered the watch at
Byford's pawnshop, Dale-street, in pledge for Ss , an•l as
he could not give a satisfactory account of how be got
it, he was handed over to the police. Mr. Clough said
the prisoner was not known to the police, neither via.
there any report of such a watch being missing. He
would wish to have a communication with Manchester
on the subject, and therefore he asked for a remand.
The prisoner was aooordingly remanded. The watch is
a pretty small gold one, with the name of "James
Neville, London," maker, "No. 3,978," and in the inside
case the initials " S. E."

(BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD
ASSATTLTS.—Denis Alison, a dealer, who resides in Mill-
lane, was charged with having assaulted police constable
640, and the case being fully proved, a fine of £2 was
imposed on him.—A ruffianly " duffer " named Francis
M'Ar lle was charged by a gentleman named Thomas Watt
with having assaulted him. The prisoner and another per-
son were going down Chapel-street 'be previous evening,
and were in a state of intoxication ; they were shout;
furiously, calling on every one to " clear the w Nr.
Mr. Watt not obeying the command in as quick time as
the ruffians thought proper, the prisoner knocked him
down. The prisoner was fined £2, or in default of
payment, two months' imprisonment.
MORE STABBlNG.—Catherine Smi,l3 was charged with
having stabbed Bridget Oxley. Mr. Sayers, S.urgean of
the Northern Dispensary, stated that the wound was an
incised one, and might prove dangerous. It appeared
that on Sunday evening a dispute arose between the
parties, in Bond-streeet, about some ale, when the
prisoner took up a knife and inflicted the wound on the
prosecutor. She was fully committed for trial at
sessions.

FURIOUS DRIVING.—Bernard Murray was charged with
driving his horse in a furious manner in the streets, to
the danger of the public. The case was fully proved,
and a fine of 10s was imposed. [lf several other drivers
were treated as Murray, it would be the cause of pre-
venting serious, and frequently fatal, accidents in the
streets.]

cases were adjourned.

BODY FOUND.—Some ram who were at work in a midden,
in Bond-street, on Tuesday night, found the dead body of ik
full-grown female child, covered up in the rubbish. It is
supposed foul play was resorted to in this instance to maim
away with the child.

poor fellows are not merely del rived of their implements
of labour, hut, should those be replaced, must necessarily
want employment until the factory of Messrs. Broad wood
is rebuilt—since in the one range of buildings remaining
there is not room enough for the valuable materials that
were saved from the flameq, much less for mechanics and
carpenters. The friends of the Messrs. Broadwood will
be glad to learn that the fire which has laid the greater
part of their workshops in ruins, and put them to so
serious a loss, will not interfere with the business of the
firm even for a day. owing to the immense quantity of
