POLICE
COURT.-YESTERDAY

(BEFORE MR. CROSTIIWAITE.)

POCKET PlCKlNG.—Margaret Thompson, described as
a Scotch woman, on her way to America, was charged
with picking the pocket of a young woman, named
Elizabeth Sampson, of her purse, in a bacon shop in
Lime-street. At eleven o'clock on Saturday night the
parties were in the shop. when the offence was com-
mitted. Mr. Bluck defended the prisoner, and by cross-
examination endeavoured to show that the prosecutrix
was mistaken ; but she persisted in her statement, and
the prisoner was committed for three months.
SUSPICIOUS PERSONS. —James Bell and William Hales,
two rough looking fellows, well known to the police,
were sent to gaol for three months for having been
found concealed in a garden in Netherfield-road, on
Sunday night, with the intention of committing a
burglary.
ROBBERY FROM THE DOCKS—Two DOCK THIEVES.—
Patrick Mullaney and Patrick Burke were charged with
stealing fifteen pounds of block tin, valued at is 3d per
pound, the property of Mr. J. S. Trigony. The property
was in a cis.c in the King's dock, and it appeared that
the cask was broken, and the prisoners were detected
leaving the dock with the tin concealed on their persons.
The records of the court showed the following statistics
of crime as set down against the prisoners :—From
January, 1849 to July, 1855, Mullaney had been 19
times in custody, and had been 17 times convicted, and
suffered 59 months! imprisonment for stealing various
articles of property from the docks. The prisoner
Burke, from 1847 to February, 1856, bad been 13 times
in custody, and 12 times convicted, and suffered 29
months' imprisonment for similar offences to his col-
league. The prisoners were sent for trial at the sessions.
STREET ROBBERY.—John M'Donald, a well known
thief, and a returned convict on a " ticket-of-leave," was
charged with being concerned in a street robbery com-
mitted on Saturday night, in Ashton-street, on a young
man named George Whitehead. The prosecutor was
standing at the entrance of a pasage, when three persons
pushed him violently into the passage, seized him by
the throat, and pulled his pocket out, which contained
295. He held the prisoner, but the others got away.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.
ROBBERY BY BOATMEN.—RiChard Armond, and
Robert Clarke, who had been remanded on a charge of
having robbed a young sailor, named John Cane, of a
10 dollar piece, were brought up. The details of the
case have been twice published in our paper.
The prosecutor admitted that on the last (Sunday) night
he had accepted of some money sent to him by the
prisoners, not to press the charge against them. His
Worship regretted that he could not punish the li
prisoners under the act, and he must, therefore, dis-
charge them, but he would grant summonses against
them for the assault. Tt►e prisoners were then dis-
charged.

(BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.)

A FIGHT.—On Saturday night, a fight took place in a
" jerryshop," Paul-street, and during the melee, a man
named Cornelius Colley, took up a poker and struck
another man named James Honan, a violent blow on the
head, which inflicted a serious wound ; from the eii-
dence of a girl, who was produce' as a witness, it
appeared that the persons engaged in the row, used
knives, and other deadly weapons, and it was wondered
how lives were not sacrificed. The prisoner was sent to
jail for one month.
ANOTHER FlGHT.—James Tickle, a boatman, and
Timothy Coggan, apparently an officer of a ship, were
brought up on a charge of having created a disturdance,
and for fighting on the Sandon Pier-head. It appeared
that on Saturday, the boatman was in the river, and that
he agreed to take a man named 111‘Guire and two others
from a ship for 5s (about 100 yards), and he alleged that
the prisoner Coggan got into the boat, although he had
no right to do so without paying ; when they got on
shore the boatman wanted 5s for carrying Coggan on
shore, and after an altercation, the parties struck each
other, Coggan being the first to strike, and knocked down
Tickle. The latter was discharged, and Coggan fined
10s.

BLIND DRUNK.—A young blind man. named Benjamin
Francis, who makes out a living by playing a violin
on board one of the Glasgow boats, was charged with
having assaulted police-officer, No. 380, who stated that
on Saturday night, the prisoner was entering the
Clarence docli gate; he was very drunk at the time, and
witness refused to let him in, particularly as he was
blind and so drunk. The prisoner said lie wanted to go
on board the Glasgow boat, and witness told him it was
gone more than an hour, which it was, and then the
prisoner struck him a violent blow in the mouth, which
cut his lip through. The prisoner was fined 10s for
the assault.

(BEFORE Mit. MANSFIELD.)
STABBING BY A FEMALE.—Johanda Meadows, was
charged with stabbing a girl named Ellen Wild on the
the previous night in Vauxhall-road. From the evidence
of the complainant, who was very much disfigured about
the face, it appeared that as she was sitting on some
steps awaiting for the return of a female companion. she
fell asleep, and was awakened by a stab from a knife
inflicted by the prisoner, who said, " there, you hava
got that, and when I see Betsy (the other female) I will
give her double as much. This was done without the
least provocation. A boy, who witnessed the transaction,
corroborated the statement of the complainant, and the
prisoner was committed to take her trial at the next
assizes.

ASSAULTING A WIFE.--John Evans a labouring man,
living in Hawkin-street, off Athol-street, was charged
with most brutally ill-using his wife on Sunday after-
noon. The wife stated, that about two o'clock a friend
of her husband's came into their house, and being
rather the worse for liquor, he was told he had better go
to bed for a short time. Soon after she had occasion to
go up stairs, and after being there a short time, her
husband came in, and took up a pitch fork and struck
her several blows, and fractured her arm in several
places. The surgeon corroborated the woman's state-
ment as to the injuries he had inflicted, and he was
committed to take his trial at the assizes. The prisoner
on leaving the dock, said he was prepared to prove that
the two parties were in bed together. _

ASSAULTS.---A foreigner, who stated his name was
Frederick Krewskey, was committed for two months for
a most unprovoked assault i pon an an old female named
Lloyd, in a house in Pellew-street. Edward Howlite, a
respectably dressed mechanic, was also committed for
two months, for assaulting a man on the West Derby
road witnout any provocation.
