POLICE COURL-YESTERD&Y.

(BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.)

A BLAcatitunn.—A powerful-looking fellow named
John Gibbon, who is a " navvy," at Birkenhead, was
charged by police constable 631, who said he saw him
in Dale-street the previous evening ; he was drunk, and
acting in a very disorderly manner ; there was a cripple
who goes about in a little carriage playing an accordian,
and he was passing along on the flagway ; the prisoner
gave the poor boy a box in the jaw and knocked him off
the flag:way, with his little carriage and all. The con-
stable spoke to him on the impropriety of his conduct,
when the prisoner turned round and struck him, and tore
his coat into flitters—the damage done to the coat was
27s 6d. The prisoner said the cripple ran the carriage
over his toes, and that made him angry. Mr. Mansfield
said the prisoner was a great ruffian, and sent him to
jail for one month.
SMITGOLING.—John Claney, the mate of the ship
Suckin, was fined 27s 6d for attempting to smuggle two
and a half pounds of foreign tobacco from that vessel, or
in default of payment, a weeks' imprisonment.
(BEFORE MR. STITT.)

POCKET PICKINO.—James Kelly, and James Thomas,
rather well-dressed persons, were charged with picking
the pocket of Mrs. Janet. Low, of £1 2s, at George's
Dock. Kelly picked the pOcket of the purse and money,
and handed the purse to the other prisoner. They were
sent to jail for three months,• as they were well. known
hands on town.

THE ROBBERY BY BOATMEN.—Robert Clarke and John
Jones, two boatmen, were brought up on a charge of
being concerned in the robbery of Kane, the young
sailor, an account of which appeared in our paper of
yesterday. Jones was not identified, but Clarke was
was positively sworn to as one of the fellows who com-
mitted the robbery, and he was remanded, in order to
have him brought up with the other man already in
custody. Jones was discharged.

PLUNDER OF PROPERTY- BELONGING TO THE SHIP
RACER.—Thomas Kelly, Henry Meyler, and James
Shannon the crew belonging to a schooner called the:
Eliza Tuke, were brought up by detective Sullivan,'
charged with having stolen some blankets, black cloth,
fustian, gloves, and other property, taken from the wreck
of the Racer, the fine Liverpool ship that went ashore
on the Arklow bank a short time since. From the
evidence, it appeared that the schooner to which the
prisoners belong had been employed by the underwritersto
carry saved or recovered cargo from the Racer to Liver-
pool. The schooner arrived here yesterday with a cargo,
of goods, and when they had delivered the property, the
revenue and other officers asked the prisoners if they
had any more property on board ? and they denied
having any, but on searching the schooner, the property
stated in the charge' was found concealed in the cabin
and other places in the vessel. The prisoner Meyler,
who was stated to be the master of the vessel, made a
long statement, the substance of which was, that
he and eight of his men were the first who
went to the ship after she struck, and but for their
exertions the majority of the passengers would have
been lost; he saved a great deal of property also, and
£35 worth of plate belonging to a Liverpool gentleman,
and although he might have kept a great deal of property
with impunity, he gave all up, and it was not for a
blanket he would make a rogue of himself. The
magistrate said there was much suspicion about the
ease, but he did not think there was sufficient evidence
to sustain a charge of felony, and therefore he would
discharge them. The prisoners were then discharged.
(BEFORE MESSRS. STITT AND THOMAS BOLTON.)

ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—Mrs. Holmes, the keeper of
a public house in Cable-street, summoned Samuel
Mason for an assault. The parties appeared respectable,
the defendant being a young man. The complainant
said the defendant went to her house and called for
two pennyworth of sherry for a fighting man, which she
refused to serve him with, and then an altercation
followed and lie called her bad names, and ultimately
she said he struck her a violent blow in the mouth, and
she alleged that she was laid up for four or five days
afterwards. A witness, named Holton, stated that he
saw the defendant strike the complainant in the mouth,
and -he-. aho said he heard the bad language. He
admitted that Mrs. Holmes snapped her fingers in defen-
dant's face, but he could not sro if she had struck him
before he struck her, /is lie was in the kitchen when
the dispute commenced. The defendant told a
long story.. about some young ladies and a party,
and jealousy, and then he called his brother, who swore
that the complainant struck first. Inspector Tomilson
said the defendant came to him on the night in
question, in Cable-street; his mouth was bleeding,
and he said the woman had assaulted him, and he
wanted to give her into custody, but witness after hear-
ing both sides of the case, refused to take the charge,
telling the parties to get summonses. The lady then
gave Mr. Mason a violent blow in the face—she was
about three quarters drunk, and Mr. Masan was sober.
He (the inspector) did not, at the time, know the parties.
The witness for the complainant swore that Mrs.
Holmes was sober, sa far as he could judge, and that the
defendant was rather the worse of drink; this the
inspector positively contradicted. The bench decided
for fining the defendant 5s and costs, which he at once
paid.
