I POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY.

ASSAULT ON A WOMAN —A middle aged man, named
Henry Ferguson, was charged with assaulting a woman
named Mary Ann Murphy, in Cavendish-street, by
knocking her down and kicking her. The assault was
of a very serious character, and the woman, who is far
advanced in pregnancy, is still in a very precarious
state. The prisoner was remanded for a week.
WARNING TO SEAMEN.—Six seamen, named William
Gann, William Brown, James Galbraith, Henry Blue,
Paul Hanswell, and John Myers, were committed to
prison for six weeks with hard labour, for refusing to
proceed to sea in the Typhoon, in whieh they had
shipped. The Typhoon, bound for Bombay, was 'driven
back with loss of main yard, by the gale on Monday
night, and then the defendants, who had received a
month's advance, refused to proceed again to sea in her,
alleging that she was not sea worthy.
REFUSING BlLLETS.—Elizabeth Joynson, publican,
Mount Pleasant, and Thomas Reynolds, publican, Dean-
street, were each fined 40s and costs, for refusing billets.
They alleged that the militia plea came to their houses
at a very late hour of the night, and that it was then
utterly impossible for them to provide the required
accommodation. It appeared, however, that the regiment.
to which the men belonged, the Duke of Lancaster's
Own Rises, and the 2nd L.ncashire, arrived in town
very late at night, and that they could not get to their
billets before midnight. Mr. Mansfield said it was no
d,pubt a very severe tax upon poor beersellers and pub-
licans, hitt while it was the law, he had no alternative
but to impose the fine.
EMIGRANT RUNNPRS.—WiIIiam Byne, a licensed
ernigra;:t runner, was fined 20s and costs, for conducting
passengers clam Tithebarn-street station to a lodging
house, without hav!:.'.!,, his badge on. Mr. Goodere, who
appeared for the defen,:lant, said that the passengers
were booked for the Morning Light, and that he had
been sent to meet them. Mr. Man' iel eld said that, under
all circumetances, the runners were bonu-4 to wear their
badges.

DEFRAUDING THE GAS COMPANY.—A woman, na,:ecl
Ann Williams. living at 76, Peter street, was charged
with defrauding the Gas Company, by disconnecting the
meter, and then attaching the inlet to the outlet of the
pipe. Mr. Neville appeared on behalf of the company,
to support the summons. The defendant admitted the
charge, but pleaded that she had no intention to defraud.
The meter had got out of order, and no one having corns
from the company, though sent for four times, she had
been compelled to detach the pipes from it to get alight.
The company, on the other hand, denied that any appli—
cation had been made at the office, or that the meter was
out of order. She was Sued £5.

(BEFORE MR. ANDERSON.)
ROBBERY OF £2l.—Mary Ryley and Mary Holmes, were
charged, the former with stealing and the latter with
receiving £2l, the property of Mr. Wm. Bell. of Stockton-
on-Tees. On Monday evening, Mr. Bell, who was about
to emigrate to Australia, was walking along the Waterloo
Road, when he met Miss Ryley, and they soon after
adjourned to the house kept by the other prisoner, in
Greenock-street. He had not been there long when he
missed his purse, containing about x 37, upon which he
accused the younger prisoner with taking it, and made
what he termed, " a little fuss " about it. Mrs. Holme
told him not to make such a noise about his old purse, as
she had no doubt but that the mos:ley would be all right
in the morning, and gave him the pumsg containing three
five pound notes and a sovereign. He took' the purse and
its contents, and gave information of the robbery to the
police, and the prisoners were subsequently apprt;.lend?d.
The woman denied all knowledge of the affair, but t;f2115
distinctly identified by the plaintiff, they were committed
to take their trial at the approaching sessions.
STEALING A WATCH.—John Taylor, a well-known (as the
police called him) " downy cove," was charged with steal-
ing a gold watch, the property of Mr. Holden, a gentleman
from London. The gentleman, on the previous evening,
was entering the Argyle Dancing-rooms, Newington, and
at the door he met the prisoner, who made a snatch at his
watch. He at once seized him and called for the assist-
ance of the police, when the prisoner dropped the watch
at his feet. As the gentleman could-not stay in town, the
prisoner was summarily convicted, and committed for
three months.

A CAUTION TO THE LOITERS OF CHEAPNESS --William
M'Cra, John Marks, and Charles Mortimer, were charged
with obtaining £1 15s. under the following circumstances :
—On the preceding day, /Its. Elizabeth Burns, who resides
at Rock Ferry, was walking along Tithebarn street, when
she was inducd to enter an auction room, in which the
prisoner Mortimer was acting as the auctioneer, and Marks
was officiating as the clerk. The lot then to be disposed of
was " a beautiful gold watch," and the price bid for it was
£6 10s. Mrs. Burns was anxious to become the possessor
of the article, doubtless thinking that "all was gold that
glittered," in which she was eventually mistaken, as others
have been before her. The other prisoner, M'Cra, who was
acting with some others as a " sweetener," observing the
complainant's anxiety to get the watch, entered into
conversation with her, stating that he was a watchmaker,
and would pledge his honour that the article was worth at
least £l4. At this juncture, the auctioneer, who had been
for some time dwelling on " £6 10s., and going, going,"
expressed his determination not to let the watch go for that
amount : and, in order to get another bid, threw a sovereign
on the floor, and offered to give it to any person who would
bid £7. M'Cra instantly invited Mrs Burns to take the
offer, saying he would take the watch of her if she bouzht
it. Mrs. Burns did bid the £7, and the watch was knocked
down to her, and she immediately paid £1 15s. as a deposit,
and went to borrow the remainder of a friend in town.
Upon her return, the auctioneer and "sweetener" had left
the premises, and the clerk refused to let her have either the
watch or the money she had deposited. Subsequently
the other two prisoners made the same refusal, and they
were all givea into custody. The watch was produced in
court, when a watchmaker said it was certainly a gold
watch—it was a French gold watch of very low standard
and the utmost value of it was £4. Mr. Clough asked to,
have the prisoners remanded, as he had every reason to
believe that he should be enabled to prove a regular
conspiracy amongst them to rob the simpletons, who
certainly must be protected. Mr. Wybergh said there
could be no objection to granting a remand, but could not
see how such simpletons were to be protected, if they could
not protect themselves. The three prisoners were then
remanded for a week.
