POLICE INTELLIGENCE

LIVERPOOL.
BEFORE MR. W. BROWN, M P.
ROBBERY OF £27.--Detective Carlyle brought up three
persons, named Anne Thompson, Anne Deacon, and Thomas
Kemp, on a charge with having robbed Richd. Prescott of £27.
The prosecutor sold a cart and horse for £3O, and went with
the money into a had house in Ranestre street, where he was
robbed of £27. Carlyle got £l9 Os 6d of the money, from a
Mr. Wynn, who keeps the " Blind Beggar" public-house,
Vauxhall road, who got it from the prisoner, Anne Deacon ;
and it seemed that the prisoner, Anne Thompson, by the in-
fluence of the male prisoner, took the money from the
prosecutor. Mr. Goodere was for the man. Mr. Wynn,
the publican, proved that he got the money from the woman
Deacon. Mr. Brown said : Sir, you, as a man of the world,
must know that there was something wrong, seeing a woman
of that sort with such a sum of money, and you should have
acted otherwise than yon did. Mr. Wynn said ho never had
seen anything bad by the woman. Mr. Clough said : I shall
report this man's . conduct to the licensing magistrates at the
sessions. Mr. Brown : Very properly, too. In the course of
cross-examination, Mr. Goodere asked Mr. Wynn if he would
swear on his solemn oath, as a publican. This caused a shsut
of laughter. The advocate then said the conduct of the
publican was disgraceful to the trade, and ho ought to be
punished for his conduct. There was a mass of evidence given
in the case, but it was not deemed sufficient, and the prisoners
were discharged.
CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—George Binks, a person in
the employment of Messrs. Pickford, was charged with em-
bezzling sums of money, belonging to his employers. It appeared,
by the evidence given, that, on the 20th October, the prisoner
received a sum of El 5s 2d from Messrs. Haylock and Co., of
Lydia Anne street; and, o❑ the 23rd of the same month, he
received £1 11s ld from Messrs. Kenworthy, both on account
of his employers, but had not returned the money, nor did he
account for it. He was sent for trial.
SHOP LIFTING —Thomas Thompson was charged with hav-
ing stolen a pair of hoots from the shop of Mr. Henry Colman,
of Byrom street. The prisoner went into the shop, seized
the boots, and ran away with them. He was followed, and
the boots were taken from him. He was sent to gaol for two
months.

AWFUL WARNING.—Thomas Stanley, butcher, of Trow-
bridge street, was summoned by Inspector Reed, for having
751bs. of " slink" meat in his possession. The inspector met him
with the meat on his shoulders, and when he pronounced the
meat bad, very had, the defendant denied that it was

house." Mr. Mansfield : It is an awful warning to veal pie
