SusPicrous.—Myers Davis and John MeNulty, were
brought up on remand, charged on suspicion with having
stolen property in their possession. It may be remem-
bered that last week the prisoners were arrested in a field
at the north end of the town, when. McNulty dropped a
watch and other articles. A detailed report cf the case
appeared in our paper of this day week. The watch
dropped by McNulty was claimed by a Kr. Swf!h, who
resides at Birkenhead. McNulty was committed for tybo
months, the other was discharged:

DAMAGE.—Margaret Henderson, a young lady em-
ployed in the publiehouse of Mr. Thompzon (her
brother), in Great Howard-street, was summoned for
having damaged the wearing apparel of a female named
Rutherford. Mr. CamplAl defended. The evidence
was of a conflicting nature both for and against the
complainant, bat it seemed that the complainant, with
other persons, went into the publichouse, when a row
took place, and it was sworn that the defendant tore the
woman's shawl, bonnet, and other things, A fine of 201
was inflicted.

IMPORTANT UNDER THE EMIGRATION ACT.— Captain
Stewart, one of the emigration officers appeared to
sustain a summons issued against Mr. William Frackle.
ton, passenger broker, under the 46. h section of the
Emigration Act. The case was a peculiar one. The
facts were these:—On the Ist inst., Capt. Stewart passed
an emigrant, named Win. Bones, on board the ship Cali-
fornia, bound for Australia. The man was all right when
passed by the officer, and when the ship was cleared.
ft appeared, however, that subsequently the man 'con-
trived to get on shore, and he was found afterwards lying
in a ditch at the Old Swan. He was taken to the West
Derby workhouse, where he became insane. He was
brought before the county magistrates, who sent him to
Rainhill lunatic asylum, where he at present remains;
and the present proceedings were brought by the officer
for the recovery of the passage money, in order to apply
it to the support of the man. Mr. Almond, for the
defendant, contended that there was no fault on the
part of his client, who had fulfilled every portion of his
contract. If the man unfortunately became insane, his
client could not help that. The magistrate should read
the 45th, 46th, and 48th sections of the Act together in
reference to this case, and tlwre was no doubt the case
could not be sustained under the circumstances. Mr-
Mansfield said his jurisdiction was limited by the Act,
and that he could not go out of that. If the parties bad
redress in the case, they must seek it in another court.
He then dismissed the case.
