POLICE COURT 1r EST ERDAY

(BEFORE MR. CROSTRWAITE.)

IMPOSING ON THE PARISH —Mary Doyle, who resides
in 10 Court, Naylor-street, was charged with having
received money under false pretences from the parish.
Mr. Williams said, some time about the middle of April
last the prisoner came to him, and represented herself
to have two children, and to be in a distressed condition.
She produced the children, and he sent an inspector to
make the necessary enquiry into the case, and the
inspector reported to him that the woman was destitute
and had the two children. On this, she was allowed l s
6d per week and a loaf. About the fifth week it was
found that she had imposed on the authorities, and that
she bad borrcwed the children from. a neighbour, for
the purpose of obtaining the relief. She was sent for
three months to gaol.

PLIIN,DERING LODGlNGS.—Michfiel White. Mary, Ellen,
and Margaret White, his daughters, were brought up on
a charge of having plundered the houses of Robert
Rathbone, 113, Upper Frederick-street, and Mrs.
Bleakey, Parliament-street. It appeared that the
prisoners had lodged in the houses stated, and that from
time to time they took property, consisting of wearing
apparel, bed clothes, furniture, fixtures, and other things
from the lodgings, all of which they were identified as
having plodged at several pawnbrokers. The prisoners
were fined £5 each, or in default of payment to be
imprisoned for three months for illegally pledging the
property.
ROBBING A DWELLING HOUSE.—Detectives Patrick
and Horn brought up a female, named Elizabeth
Murphy, on a charge of being concerned in a robbery
in the house of Mrs. Carr, No. 85, Victoria-street.
From the evidence adduced it appeared that on Monday
evening, about four o'clock, the house of Mrs. Carr was
entered, and wearing apparel and other property to the
amount of £l2 stolen. A police officer said he saw the
prisoner watching about the house us near four o'clock
as possible, and a young man who was at work in the
locality said he saw the prisoner leaving the house
about half past four with a large bundle, which she
asked a man who was passing to help on her head,
which he did, and then she went off with it. The officer
and the last witness swore positively as to the identity
of the prisoner. The prisoner produced two women,
cello swore that they resided in Leicester-street, Birken-
head, and that the prisoner was with them there from
two to past five o'clock on the day in question, and that
she could not have been in Liverpool at the time stated.
They said a Mre. Millar, of Birkenhead, was present in
the house at the time the prisoner was there. The magis-
trate ordered the last named person to be sent for. Mr.
Clough elicited from one of the witnesses, that she had
been prosecuted for shoplifting. After some time Mrs.
Millar came to the court, and stated that she saw the
prisoner at Birkenhead from eleven to half-past three on
Monday. (Here one of the former witnesses came for-
ward behind the witness and said to her :—" Say it was
half-past four o'clock when you saw her.") This caused
a sensation. and at the request of Mr. Clough, the
prisoner was remanded for a week.
THE BATH-STREET BURGLARY.—Mary Whitaker,
Mary Lynch, Robert Ritnmer, alias Bonner, Anne Jane
Stephens, and William Bowman, were brought up on
remand by officers Thompson and Scaife, charged %%all
being concerned in the burglary and robbers commil le
in the stores of Mr. Percival, and Mr. Maddock, B ‘tit •
street. The details of this case were puleislfro t,s•
or three former occasions. Mr. Maddock identified a
variety of valuable property, such as Cott's r. volvem
pistols, knives, forks, spoons, &c., which were tiaeed
the prisoners, and a girl was examined in reference to
some of the prisortrs, who were in a cellar in Cletni‘nt-
street. where they had some knives and other things.
Detective Thompson said the prisoner Whittaker told
him that some of the other prisoners brought the things
there, and he found the articles as described. He found
more of the things in Lynch's premises. The whole of
the evidence was gone into (as already reported), and the
prisoners were folly committed for trial at the sessions.
THE WILD TRIBES OF LIVERPOOL !—TWO lads, named
John Johnson and Bartholomew Garetty, together with
thee girls, named Ann Jane Faggerty, Ellen Fowler,
and Mary Roberts, whose ages ranged from 16 to 18,
were placed at the bar and charged under the following
circumstances :—From the statements of certain officers
of the force, it appeared that the prisoners are part of a
gang of outcast and homeless creatures of both sexes,
who live together, or rather herd—for that is the only
term which can properly designate the form of debased
communism which their association takes—in the
brickfields ct Liverpool. The kilns are their
homes. In them they eat and sleep ; and there
they are to be daily and nightly seen, by the
constables and others who know their haunts, in a state
of nudity, herding together like brute beasts. The
commonest decency of life is not observed by them ; and
we were told by an officer that such is their art in
"stowing'- themselves away in those kilns, that you
must turn over the bricks to find them. Mr. Clough
mentioned, that on the boys some articles of identified
stolen property had been discovered; that Anne Taggart
was the daughter of a boiler maker at Wolverhampton,
earning 36s a week, but whether she had abandoned or
been turned out of her home he could not say ; and
that Ellen Fuwler had been brought up in the Industrial
Schools, and that she bad voluntarily left the situation,
in which she had been placed to live, her present degraded
life. The boys were remanded until Monday, and the
girls sent to prison for a moth.

(BEFORE MR. LAWRENCE.)

CHARGE AGAINST A POLICE CONSTABLE.—PoIice con-
stable 142, charged a woman, named Mary Hoy, with
being .drunk and disorderly in Bannistre-street. The
woman, it appeared, was a keeper of a disreputable
house in the above street, and that she was drunk, and
acting in a disorderly manner, when he took her into
custody. The woman alleged that, when the constable
was taking her to the.station, he twisted her arm out of
the shoulder-socket,.and that she had been in an awful
state with it. The policeman said he wanted the prisoner
to go into her house several times, but she refused, and
when he took her into custody, she caught hold of the
door and struggled very much, so that if her arm had
been hurt, she must have caused the injury to herself.
The prisoner was discharged.
