TRANSFER OF PUBLICANS' LICENSES

Yesterday, a special sessions was held at the Court House,
Chapel-street, before Messrs. Stitt, Bolton, and S. Holmes,
for the purpose of transferring of publicans' licenses. There
were one or two cases in which some difference of opinion arose
as to the propriety of transferring the licenses, the parties
applying not having had the precaution to secure the landlord'
acceptance of the party as a tenant, in such cases the transfe
was postponed. The following licenses were, however, tran

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

LIVERPOOL.
BEFORE MR. W. M. Bpi/TH.

POCKET PICKING.—Jane Shannon, a young woman well
known as a lady pickpocket, was brought up on a charge with
having picked the pocket of Maria Chandler of a purse
containing two gold rings and £1 15s GI It appeared that
there was a " friendly hop" in Northampton-street, in a
beer-house, and amonipt the company the prisoner was
found, but how she got there did not appear, as she was a
stranger. She managed to pick complainapos pocket.
She was remanded.

FELONY OP NEWSPAPERS. James Peyton, a non.
carrier, in the employment of Mr. Richard Hilton, news.
agent, of Williamson-street, was charged with baying stolen
fourteen dozen of newspapers. It appeared that com-
plainant was in the habit of taking the papers from the
printing offices to Mr. Hilton's delivery cart, but it seemed
that for some time the prisoner was suspected of not acting
honestly. His mode of operation seemed to be as follows :
Between the printing offices and the cart, he used to steal as
many dozen as he thought would not be missed. These copies
he used to give his wife, who met him at an appointed place
for that purpose. The papers were then left in some house
or other until the prisoner had finished his delivery for Mr.
Hilton, and then he would 'join his wife and divide the
papers with her, and in this way they supplied several
small dealers through town. On Wednesday morning Mr.
Hilton watched the movements of the prisoner, and the
result was that he fouad the prisoner bad stolen' fourteen
dozen copies. The prisoner was sent to gaol for one month
(This ought to prove a ealtion to dishonest deliverers, as.
they will be severely punished when discovered, as they
ultimately must be.)

Colonel Tomkinson remarked that the salary of the
proceedings resulted in an arbitration, in which Mr.y registering as highly as be had been led to expect. The
chief constable of Shropshire was £4OO, and £2OO allowed
Taylor was stated to have recovered a sum of £270.
The plaintiff claimed a sixteenth of this amount,
as holding a share to that extent. The grounds of defence
were, that Mr. Taylor became purchaser of the vessel fr. m
Messrs. Napier and Morris, who acted as agents for the
builders, Messrs. Smith, of Bathurst, New Brunswick ; and
that by a subsequent agreement, Messrs. Napier and Morris
became owners of two-thirds of the vessel, Mr. Taylor having
one-third. The sixteenth share sold to plaintiff, it was
alleged, was sold by Messrs. Napier and Morris, acting on
their own behalf. Subsequently Messrs. Napier and Morris
became involved in some difficulties, and Mr. Taylor was
their creditor to the amount of upwards of £5OO. Tt was,
therefore, contended that Messrs. Napier and Morris were
the persons really responsible to Mr. Manifold, and not Mr.
Taylor, the defendant; inasmuch as the sale made of the
sixteenth share to Mr. Manifold, and the guarantee as to
the registration of the vessel, accompanying it, was the act
of these gentlemen altogether, and for which Mr. Taylor
was not answerable. After evidence had been fully heard
on both sides, his Honour said be was of opinion that the
plaintiff was entitled to recver, and that it would be con-
trary to law and equity to hold otherwise. A verdict was
entered accordingly.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN TIMES.
Sir,—There are a few simple principles connected with

before going into its more elaborate complexities ; for, so

tions ; therefore, in the first place, f propose to confine
myself to these, and strongly recommend your correspon-
dents to exert themselves with me, either to establish
them, or to show their fallacy, for, as the elucidation of
truth is the thing we should aim at, I, for one, am content
so to try the question, and to abide thereby. It our first
principles are not sound, or if they cannot be established
and agreed upon, it is almost useless proceeding further.
How much has been said and written on this most

has been done to make our currency a Just equipoise of

the greatest commercial nation in the world, being in
consequence, still the victim of a succession or intermit-
tent panics which have all the symptoms of ruin and insol-
vency, without, probably, any of the causes of the disease.
It is useless to rail at hullionists, or to sneer at the
honest attempts of your currency men. If we would act
like men, let us handle the subject free from prejudice,
with that candour and intelligence which becomes
honesty, which is open to enlightenment, an I yearns for

These preliminaries serve to introduce a few questions
Which will pave the way when fully solved and adjusted,
for the very weighty consideration of how to work out
the prirreiples we hope to establish, to the satisfaction
of all diapasslonate persons.
Sir Robert's Peel's absorbing question was—What is a

Our questions should be—
What is currency ? (in its ligitimate sense).
Ist What should be currency?
What is its object ?
Es it not a medium of barter ?
Should it not be a standard of value?

If simply a medium of exchange, what need for
