POLICE COURT

-YESTERDAY,

(BEFORE MN. E. EVANS.)

STEALING

Fe as IT UR E.—A. wretched-looking old
woman, named Mary Irvine, was charged with stealing
a quantity of furniture from the house of Ellen Bridge-
man, Crosshall-street. The prisoner was found in Gay-
street, at an early in the morning, with a quantity of
furniture in her possession, and it turned out that she had
stolen the property from the house of the prosecutor. The
prisoner was committed for two months.
A " BIG Dnzrin."—John Stones, who was engaged in
stowing the ship Euelis, in the Prince's dock, was charged
with stealing two dozen bottles of ale. A portion of the
cargo consisted of casks of bottled ale, and it appeared
that ono of the casks had been broken into, and two dozen
bottles taken out. The prisoner was found lying in the
midst of the empty bottles in a state of helpless drunken-
ness, and, however strange it may appear, it was stated
that he drank the contents of the two dozen bottles him-
self. For the next two months he will not be able to
indulge in such extensive potations, for he was committed
for that period to gaol.

SWEETNERS " and " BLUDGETTERS " IN TROUBLE.—
Detective officer Carlyle brought up Margaret Steward,
James Carr, and William Ross, on the following charge.
The prisoners were dressed in the most fashionable style,
and, but for their conduct and being well known to the po-
lice, one would have thought they were "first-class" people.
The officer said at a quarter past eight o'clock on Monday
night he saw the prisoners in Lime-street. The woman he
knew to be a " sweetner," and the men " bludgetters,"
and he watched them. He saw the woman speak to an
old gentleman who had a very massive chain to his watch.
The gentleman wanted to get away, but she succeeded in
inducing him to go into Disley-street. He then knew
something was wrong, and he called a railway porter
named Patrick Dowling (as he could not get a policeman)
to his assistance. The two men (the prisoners) proceeded
in different directions after the woman and the old gentle.
man. The officer went in one direction, sending Dowling
in another, but they both met again at the corner of
Derby-street, when Carr came rushing up towards the
entry where the girl and old gentleman had gone. The
officer seized him, and threatened if he spoke a word, to
knock him prostrate. This threat kept the prisoner
Carr quiet, and he was handed over to the railway porter.
Just then, Ross came in an opposite direction, and stood
at the entry. The woman then coughed as a signal, and
the prisoner Ross was about to enter the passage, when
Carlyle seized him by the neck, and threatened to floor
him also if he spoke. At that moment the old gentleman
rushed from the passage after the female prisoner, crying
out "thieves, police,"
ids watch and chain were then
hanging from his neck. Carlyle told him he was a
policeman, and had the prisoners all safe, but the old
gentleman
appeared terribly frightened, and seemed not
to believe him, but ran through the streets as fast as he
could shouting. "all thieves, police." As Carlyle could
not stop him, having then three prisoners, he thought it
better to secure the latter, which he did, with the assist-
ance of the railway man. Mr. Chilton, appeared for the
prisoners ; it appeared that Carr had been sixteen
times committed, and eight times discharged. Tne girl
too was an old offender. She and Carr were sentenced
to two months hard labour, and Ross was remanded tq produce some evidence against him.

A BAD BOY. John Jones,A boy NsnE
about i, p )

years of
—(IIEF3IR.
was charged with having stolen a watch tporg:
boots and other things, from the Sailor's home. From
the evidence of Mr. Williams, deputy-superintendent at
the Sailor's Home, and other witnesses, it appeared that
some time are the boy was found by the police destitute
in the streets. Mr. Mansfield, on that occasion, kindly
gave him clothes and procured him work. He subse-
quently got him on board a ship, but the boy behaved
badly. He was, however, lodging at the Home, and on
Monday, in the absence of another lodger, he stole the
property, and pledged the watch for 15s. The..Pg
was remanded until Saturday, and Mr. Mansfieltuci
1 ahe
would consider what was best to be done with him.
CHARGES AGAINST A CAPTAIN.--ThOMRS Berwick, the
u.
informations,
ed the
~ at
master of the barque Baronet, was s
instance of the Board of Trade, on three
laid under the 85th section of the 13th and )4th
chap. 93, for negleoting to make certain entries in his
official log book, to wit, to record the
death of his chief
mate, and the illness and death of one of the apprentices.
Mr. Tyndell was for the prosecution, and Mr. Forshaw for
the defence. The evidence went to show that the occur-
rences took place in May, whilst, in the margin of one of
the papers (not the proper place), they were re-
cor ship's
dedashaving ha ppened in April, 1856. Mr. Forshaw
argued that the act under which the case was brought had
been repealed by a subsequent act, which came into opera•
tion in May. The case was dismissed, subject to be brought
on again under the provisions of the last at.
