THE TRANMERE POLICE AGAIN T. —Of late, this division
of the force has become rather notorious, from its frequently
appearing, either as accused, or accusers, at this bench
of magistrates. Yesterday John Price, a decent looking
labourer, was charged by police-constable Wright with
assaulting hint, in rather a insolent manner. The officer
said that he was in Tranmere, when the prisoner came up
to him, and, after a few words, took his stick from him, and
struck him a violent blow on the head, inflicting a wound
from which the blood flowed most freely. The defendant
admitted the assault, but said he was so drunk at the time
that he did not know what he was doing, and that the
constable was in the same state. The constable admitted
that when he went 04
that he had had a glass or two of ale. being off duty, but
magistrates, as the (hay he vvas perfectly sober. The
injured, ordered the defendantcQnibiP tol?.a(14 e beenal.ce

R'BBING A SAILOR.—Tivo fellows, who obtained a liveli-
hood by loitering about the ferries and the docks, and who
gave their names as Burgess and Murphy, were charged
with robbinc, a sailor named Patrick Murishy, and taking
from him about L 5, with all his elotheo and papers. On
Tuesday last the plaintiff arrived by the train fro% Carnar-
von, having been discharged from a vessel named the Sarah
Ann, of Liverpool, which had been cast ashore the previous
week. It so occurred that the t! ain arrived too late for Murphy
to catch the boat from Monk's Ferry, and he was looking
about him when he was accosted by the prisoners, who
asked him to go and have something to drink. He com-
plied, and they went to the Adelphi shades, where they had
some drink, and at last they pretended to take care of
him and his parcel, and see him safely over to Liverpool.
Instead, however of doing this, they took him in the
Erection of the Birkenhead docks, and there left him minus
clothes and his money. The prisoners were remanded,
r to obtain the necessary evidence to substantiate the

charge.
