(BEFORE MR. T. BOLTON.)

RonnenT.—William Moore was charged with having
robbed Edward Reilly of £2 lOs and a silver Watch.
The complainant said he came from the harvest. and
went to lodge at a friend's house in Woodstock-street;
where he slept with the prisoner, and he alleged that
the prisoner got up early in the morning and took the
money and watch. The latter was found pledged in
Fishwick's, Tithebarn street, for 15s. Mr. Block, for
the prisoner, cross-examined the prosecutor, and
attempted to show that the latter had given the watch to
his client to pledge. He contended that there was no
evidence as to the money, and the only thing the court
could do was, to deal with the case as for not accounting
how he came to pledge the watch. The prosecutor was
recalled, and, in reply to the court, gave a confused
account of the affair. The prisoner was fined £2, and
15s, the amount got on the watch, for illegally pledging,
or to be imprisoned for two months.
ILLEGAL PLEDGING.—Hanna Cooper, of Upper
Liam-street, charged Ellen Coffey with illegally pledging
two and a-h cif dozen clothes. Remanded for a week.
THE ROBBERY OF MR. SMITH'S CASH-Box.—James and
Thomas Burns, who were remanded on the above charge,
were brought up by detective officer Scott. Mr. Block
defended. The facts of this case have already been
published a few days ago. In addition to the evidence
already given, detective officer Laycock said he found
a file in the prisoner's cellar, with which the cash-
box had been opened, as the marks on the box
exactly corresponded. Mr. William Postlethwaite, cash-
keeper at Mr. Smith's, proved that one of the ten pound
notes changed by the prisoners was in the bra at the
time it was stolen out of the office. Sergeant ReCia oK
the East:lndia Company, proved that, on the Monday
evening after the robbery, the younger prisoner had a
fist full of gold in the Victoria Tavern.A boy, son of
the eldest prisoner was produced, but be was totally
ignorant as to the nature of an oath--he knew nothing
about God, never said a prayer, never heard of rewards
or punishments hereafter. It was truly lamentable to
witness the ignorance of the boy. He was, of course,
not examined. Mr. Bluck said, all he had to say was,
that his clients told him they were perfectly innocent.
(Laughter.) lie would not say more, as he strongly
suspected his Worship's intention was to send the pri-
soners for trial. Mr. Bolton : That is my intention,
certainly. Mr. Block : They want me to tell you a story.
I would prefer saying nothing, but they wish for it. He
then told a story about how the prisoners found the tett,
pound note (so they told him). Mr. Bolton said, he
would give the prisoners the full benefit of that before
a jury. He fully committed the prisoners for trial.
A Suspicious Cass.—A fine-looking young woman,
named Anne Jennings, a resident of Mason's-row, was
charged with having stolen four sovereigns from Henry
Jones, Leicester-strect, Birkenhead. The complainant
said he was passing by the Adelphi Hotel the previous
night about twelve o'clock, when he met the prisoner.
with whom he had some whisky. She then abstracted
four sovereigns from his purse. The prisoner was dis-
charged.

ROBBERY OF AN OrrrcE.—Detective officers Thompson
and Scaife, brought up two persons, named James Fay
and Mary M'Carthy, on a charge of the following de..
scription :—lt appeared that, on the Bth instant, the
offices of Messrs. Major and Co., shipbuilders, of Light-
body-street, were entered, and a quantity of tools stolen
therefrom. The female prisoner pledged at Howard's
pawnshop, Christian-street, some of the stolen articles,
and more of the property was pledged at Grunrly's,
Richmond Row, and several of the articles stolen from
the office were found concealed in Fay's room, and pawn-
tickets for others that had been pledged. Mr. Howard
was called several times, but did not appear. The
prisoners were committed for trial.
ROBBERY ON SHIPBOARD.—MichaeI Finn, late second
mate of the British ship Calista Howes, arrived here
from St. John, was charged with having robbed the
boatswain of the ship of about £lO. Mr. Campbell ap-
peared for the prisoner. From the evidence of several
witnesses, it appeared that the men belonging to the ship,
lodged what money they had with the boatswain, in
order to keep it safe until they arrived here. It seemed
that the prisoner found out that the money was so de-
posited, and, from the evidence of the steward, it ap-
peared that he broke open the box, and committed the
robbery. A note that belonged to one of the men was
identified. The prisoner was committed for trial at the
sessions. ,

complainant having been proved, the defence set up was,
that the boatswain abandoned the shi •

articles, and that damage was done to the vessel in con-
sequence of his conduct. Evidence having been given to
sustain the defence, Mr. Mansfield held it was a good
defence, and dismissed the complaint.
.
ASSAULT ON AN OFFICER OF TILE COURT.—
Mr coz!nS,
one of the court criers, (a highly resp William
named ant
ectable, obliging,
.__
and intelligent officer,) charged a person
Keever, who resides in No. 5 court, Hotham-street, with
having assaulted him. Mr. Bluck &fended. The officer
prisoner to serve a summons,
went to the house of the
when he was attacked and brutally assaulted by the
prisoner, to whom he
had not offered a shadow of ,provo-
cation. The defence, or 1 rat ter apology, set up by Mr.
Block was, that his client directed him to say that be
was
drunk. The prisoner was fined £5, or in default of
payment, two months' irnprisonnant.
INDECENCY--A fellow, named James Turner, war
sent to gaol for three months, with hard labour, for
having acted in a brutally indecent manner towards
some ladies near Kirkdale.
PROFiTABLE! —Mr. J. Doherty, corn merchant; had a
number of complaints preferred against him by the police
for allowing corn, &c., to accumulate on the dock quays
beyond the limited time, which caused great obstruction
to the loading and unloading of other vessels. Fines to the
amount of £6O 13s were iuflicted on him, and Mr. Poole,
the collector of fines, stated that within the last eight
days fines to the amount of £lO2 had also been inflicted
on Mr. Doherty for like offences, [A profitable trade
