TnAT MONKEY !—Mrs. John Whi+taker, the wife of a
publican and boarding-house keener, in Park-lane,
charged a sailor, named Antonio. Ferris, with having
stolen a small, and, as she alleged, " a most valuable
aonkey," from her kitchen. It appeared that the
• ter slept in the house en Sunday night, and was
leaving the house on Monday morning with the
rtunate monkey" in his possession, but it was not
; her husband would not take " any money "
risoner was remanded.

THE ADVENTURES OF TOM MAILLT, OF RISOIMMoN,
BITH IN THE CRIMEA AND I LIVERB3OL !-40111 Mailly
was born in Roscommon, and when the war broke out
Toni Mailly might be twenty years of age, and Tom
might hate " listed for a soger "—for he loved liberty
and hated tyranny. There was, however, a great obstacle
to Tom Mailly's becoming a "soger," but that was not
his fault, It was this—Tom was not quite five feet high,
and even if he stood on his " tippy toes" he could not
come up to the " military standard." Tom's heart was
bigger, in comparison, than his billy, and he resolved to
go out and "lick" the Russians some way or other, and
so he went out as a " Land Corpsman," and, like

another Cwsar, he " went, he saw, and he conquered?'
Tom left the Crimea with a full heart. and, what was
better—so far as his sweetheart, a girl named Sally
Blake, was, concerned—a full pocket. This pouch con-
tained forty-five " golden sovereigns," and two " bran
new " ten pound notes, and Tom, like another Alexander,
wept,when he had no more Russians to destroy, and, con-
sequently, no more money to receive. But the idea of

Sally Blake and a bit of land, or a shop, in Roscommon,
comforted Torn Mailly,and he arrived in Liverpool —fatal

day for Tom Mailly's money was the day of his arrival
in Liverpool. Tom did not think the sights of the Crimea
quite enough for him, so he went to look at the sights of
Chisenhale street. Amongst the latter was Jessy Hen-
derson, a black haired colleen, who claimed an acquaint-

ante with Tom Mailly as a countrywoman. Some drink,
of course, followed, and then the parties were joined by
th ree otherladies,named Mary Smith, Letty Williams, and
Mary Farney, and, of course, they knew all about Tom
Mailly as well as he did himself. Tom got " boozy,"
and began singing that beautifully poetic production of
"We won't go home till morning." Fanny Henderson
insisted on his breaking this resolution, and offered him
all sorts of hospitality. He concluded that he had made
a rash vow in promising not to go home till morning,
and therefore he imagined it would be better to break
than keep it, so he went home with the " lady ;" and,
on entering her place, he received "all sorts of hospi-
tality" certainly, for he was set upon by three men and
the four women named, who robbed him of his forty-five
"golden sovereigns" and his two ten pound notes, with
which they tnizzled ! Tom Mailly wished himself back
in the Crimea, or at home with Sally Blake—if he had the
money ; but as he could not transport himself by wishing
he then concluded the best thing he could do was to in-
form police officer 265, who, in a short time after, found
the four women in a public-house in Vauxhall road, and
one of them dropped four sovereigns on a seat, and on
Taking them to the station, one of them dropped another
sovereign, but that was all that was found out of the
£65 brought from the Crimea by Thomas Mailly, of the
Land Transport Corps of Great Britain and Ireland.
The prisoners were remanded, as the police s id there
was a chance of the men and the ten pound notes " turn-

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—Edward Johnston, a
person of respectable appearance, recently in the employ-
ment of Messrs. Greene and Taylor, warehousemen,
Chapel street, was brought up by Inspector Swaine, on a
charge of having embezzled £7 2s Id, the monies of his
employers. Mr. Clough said there were several sums
alleged to have been embezzled, but at present a sum of
£3 Is was the only amount that they would proceed on.
Mr. Taylor said the prisoner was occasionally engaged as
collector, and it appeared that he had received several sums
which he did not return nor account for. In the course
of the enquiry it was ascertained that the prisoner had
entered the sums received, but had not returned the
money. The prisoner said, in reply to the charge, that
he was a considerable time out of a situation before he
went into Messrs. Taylors, and be was pressed very
much for debts, and he had made use of the money for
that purpose. Mr. Grant said there was some doubt
about the way in which the money had been entered,
but he would remand the prisoner for a week.

ATTIMIPTED BURGLARY.—John Turner, alias Baker
Jem, described by the police as the best of all burglars
in Lancashire, was charged with having attempted to
commit a burglary in the premises of Mr. W. S.
Sutherberry, shipwright, Great Howard-street. The
prisoner was caught, the previous night, breaking into
the yard, aryl it would seem that four previous attacks
had been made on the premises, and property stolen
thereout. Detective officer Thompson said the prisoner
had been formerly transported, and since his return he
had been committed fur burglary. The prisoner was
sent for trial.

ILLEGAL DETENTION OF PEOPERTY.-John Mellon was
summoned for illegally detaining £1 16s worth of
property, belonging to Mary Anne Todd. I%[r. Bluck
was for the complainant. It appeared that some time
since the wife of the defendant was in ill health, and
that she required the assistance of some one in her
household department. The complainant was invited
to assist, and the defendant gave h.r lodging as an
equivalent for her services. Hie stopped four weeks,
and then went away, but defendant refused to give up
some property, value £1 163, unless she paid 10s, which
he alleged was due for rent. Mr. Black called some
witnesses to sustain his client's case, and, after hearing
both parties, the bench ordered the property to be
restored, and censured the conduct of the defendant,
who refused to comply. A police officer was ordered to
see the Property restored, and if the defendant refused
to deliver the things, it was intimated that he would be
sent to prison.

(BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.)

passed 'to their husbands, but who had not the means,
and who had their clothes and other effects pledged.
