POLICE COURTS.-... V ESTERDAY,

CELEBRATION OF THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER, —Three
young boys named Thomas Wainright, Benjamin Garrick,
and William Atkinson were fined for discharging pistols,
squibs on the fifth of November. The fines imposed
varied from ls. and costs, to ss. and costs.
CHARGE OP FURIOUS DRIVING AGAINST A POLICE
OFFICER.--Police-officer M'Grane appeared to answer a
charge preferred against him by officer 329, of furiously
driving in Great ipeorge-street, on the 6th of November.
From the statement of the officer, it, appeared that M'Grane
and a fellow officer, were in a Whitechupel, which M'Grane
was driving at the rate of twelve to thirteen miles an hour.

Officer 111'Grane then called two witnesses, the first was
Inspector Campbell, who happened to be passing through
Great George-street, ion the day in question, he considered
they were not driving faster than six miles an hour, although
he remarked they were cutting " rather fast."
John Connoly, a cab driver, was next called, he stated
that when they were passing St. James's stand, they were
going very slowly—about five miles an hour.
Mr. Mansfield said the officer must have committed a most
gross mistake, and cautioned him to be more careful for the
future.

Capt Greig said it would be very bad to have dissension
or bad feeling amongst the officers, and he would remove
329 to thelNorth Division.__

CLAIM FOR SEAMxN's WAGES.—Robert Hughes, chief
mate of the ship
,Matoga summoned the owners for wages.
He had shipped at St. John's, New Brunswick, at £lO a
month (currency) the rest of the crew had shipped by the
run. He now claimed one month's wages.
Mr. Chilton appeared for the owners, and Mr. Campbell
for the plaintiff. The defence was that the claimant had
been on Thursday week convicted before the magistrates of
making away with some of the ship's stores, for which
offence he had been convicted and fined, and it was, con-
tended by Mr. Chilton that he had, by this offence, for-
feited his wages.
Mr. Campbell said that no penalty was to be taken from
wages except in the way of fine, and that thoso wages were
due before the offence was committed.

Mr. Mansfield said that if the conviction had taken place
under the Mercantile Marine Act, the wages would have
been ;forfeited ; but as the parties choose to have their con-
viction under the Local Act, they had cut themselves out
from this remedy. An order for the amount claimed was
given.
SMUGGLING.—Tohn Norman was charged with smuggling
11 lb. of foreign manufactured tobacco, found concealed on
Ins person.
The prisoner in his defence said he did not know what
would be the consequence. He was ordered to pay 17s. 6d.,
or go to gaol for 7 days.
SUSPECTED ROBBERY OF WEARING APPAREL. —Mary
Kelly, was charged by Mary Corton with stealing a jacket,
a dress, an apron, and several other articles of wearing ap-
parel. The apron was found upon her when she was given
in charge, and was identified by the prosecutrix, and she
admitted she had pledged the jacket at a pawnbroker's in
Park-lane, but that she had lost the ticket. Remanded.

REmANns.—Sarah Johnson was remanded to this day,
charged with stealing Is. 6d. from Joseph Ward, labourer,
in a public-house in Dale-street, on Tuesday afternoon.

whose employment she was.

, Maria Trrienzan was remanded for seven days, charged
with stealing a gown from 71, Warnett-street, where it was
left to be washed. The woman of the house mentioned that
she washed for servants in the Adelphi Hotel, and that know-
ing prisoner to have been housemaid at Mr. Cooper's, dentist,
she had given her a lodging.

ROBBERIES or EMPLOYERS.—John Goodwin, a young lad,
was charged by Mrs. Calvert, toy-shop, Bold-street, in whose
employment he was, with abstracting a quantity of silver
and gold pencil cases, coral beads, bracelets, and other pro-
perty, to the value of £7, from her shop. The property was
missed on the 21st of October. A boy, named James Kirk,
proved to having often seen prisoner exhibiting articles in
the street, such as case-boxes with knives, pencil cases, &c.
Some pencil cases were produced, found on the prisoner,
which Mrs. Calvert could not identify. He was generally
remanded for further inquiry.
Joseph Porter, carter in the employment of ' Mrs. Robin-
son, 5, Leathern-alley, was charged by his employer with
ombezzling thirty-five shillings, due to her by various parties
for cartage, by producing false receipts. He had suddenly

in. Remanded for seven days, in order that the receipts
may be produced. •
THE ROBBERY OF WEARING APPAREL AT THE' WEST
DERBY WORKHOUSE.—John Jackson, John Harrison, and
William Lithgoe, charged with stealing wearing apparel
from the workhouse.of the West Derby Union, on the 21st
of September, were again put forward. Jackson was sen-
tenced to two months' imprisonment. No additional evidence
being adduced against the other two prisoners, they were
discharged.
Snor-LtPrnrci. —.Patrick Curley was charged with steal-
ing a bottle of wine from Mr. Bentley's store, in Lime-street.

currants from a grocer's in Berry-street. He was sentenced
to one month's imprisonment.

ROBBERY OF A TWENTY-FOUND NOTE BY A FEMALE
SERVANT.—Joanna Russell was charged under the following
circumstances. She was female servant in the employment
of Mr. Terence M'Camley, of Hopwood-street. On Tuesday
evening she went into the establishment of Mr. Congrieffe,
publican, of Truenutu-street, and tendered a bunk note in
paymeut of seven shillings and twopence, a liquor debt
which she had contracted on Monday night, in the name of
a Mr. Dwyer. Mr. Congrieffe finding that the note was of
the Bank 'if England, for twenty pounds, entertained
some suspicions that she had not come by it honestly. He
therefore gave the woman two shillings and tenpence to
make up ten shillings, telling her to call in the morning for
£l9 10s. Next morning he saw Mr. Dwyer, who knew
nothing whatsoever of the transaction. Prisoner was
then arrested, and gave several contradictory accounts of
the manner in which she had come into possession of the
note. • Mr. M'Camley had missed a ten pound note out of a
drawer which he always kept locked. Mr. Clough having
sent a detective officer to the house, he examined the drawer
which was one of a chest. He could not find any sign of
the drawer or lock having been tampered with, but on
examining, he found that, by taking out a top drawer, which
was not locked, a hand might be inserted through a partition
in the back, and anything taken out of the drawer where
the money was kept. Mr. M'Camley could not identify the
note, but said the person who paid it to him would be able
to do so. The case was remanded to this day for Cite
required link of evideUce.

DEATH OF A LIVERPOOL PRIZE FIGHTER:-
INQ REST, AND VERDICT OF MAN-

SLAUGHTER.'
Yesterday an inquest was held before the deputy borough
coroner, touching the death of James Gill, mentioned in our
issue of yesterday..:
David Gill, brother to the deceased, detailed some of the
circumstances of the case. He went with deceased by railway,
from the Titheborn-street station on Thursday last, with
about fifty other persons ; and about eight or nine miles out
in the country, a fight took place between the deceased and
Frank Donnelly. Each had two seconds, and one of
Donelly's seconds was called " Nobby Clarke," and another
second was " New castle Ja ck," but he knew none of the
other parties. He heard that a person named Brannon was
a second of deceased. It was a fair fight, and lasted thirty-
five minutes. They both struck each other whenever they
could get a chance. TT i believed it to have been a prize
fight for £2O a side. Tae deceased was said to have won.
John Augustus Somers, house surgeon at St. Ann's dis-
pensary, was called t see Gill on Saturday morning. He
found him suffering fru;a severe inflammation of an erysipela-
tous character of the left side of the neck, extending over
the jaws and face. His left eye was blackened. He did
not see him on Sunday, as he expected he would have been
removed to the infirmary, which he had advised, and when
he called on Monday morning he was dead. He had since
made a post mortem examination of the body, and found
deep contusions over the side of the jaw and neck, and an
abcess formed over the angle of the jaw. He considered the
cause of death to have been the inflammation extending
through the glottis to the windpipe.
Mr. Richard Yates Ackerley, surgeon, who also attended
him, gave evidence to a similar effect.
Mary Pders deposed to the death of Gill, at five o'clock
on Monday morning, at his lodgings, Barlow-street.
A verdict of manslaughter was returned against_Frank
Donnelly, as principal, and dive's other persons, to the
jurors at present unknown, for aiding-and abbetting.
The parties engaged in the prosecution, it was stated,
(but not in evidence), went on Tuesday in a boat to the
Great Ormes-head, as the fight should have come off on
that day, but the weather was so rough they could not land.

li MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.--An accident, which might have
been attended with fatal consequences, occurred at the
Tiverton-road station of the Bristol and Exeter railway
last Tuesday. A gentleman's carriage was proceeding to the
station for the purpose of fetching the owner, who was
expected to arrive by the mail train. The carriage was but
a short distance from the station, when the shrill whistle of
the approaching
.train was:heard. The horses, which were
sptrited ones, took fright .at the sound, and broke away
from the driver, who lost all control over them. In an
instant they broke through the railing which protected the
embankment of the railway, and horses, carriage, and
driver were • precipitated over a height of 40 feet. The
-guard of the train, which had arrived, witnessed the acci-
dent, and at once conclud ,d that both man and horses were
dashed to pieces ; but, strange to relate, it was found that
they had fallen to the bottom without sustaining the least
,iujury—the only thing damaged being one of the traces.
'That makes the escape more marvellous is the fact that
the piece of ground on which the carriage and horses
alighted was but just wide enough for them to stand upon
Witheutlalling into a ditch containing four feet of water,
which adjoins the piece of ground. This also was fortunately
escaped, and the carriage, horses, and driver were, after some
labour, brought to the station in safety.

cargo of iron, conveyed from Belfast to Liverpool on be
the Panope, on the 28th November, 1862.
Mr. Gamow appeared for the plaintiffs, and appliedjer
an adjournment of the case to May, 1854. The applina4
was based on an affidavit by one of the defendants, ww_,
set forth that the captain of the Panope was necessall
witness for their defence, and that the Panope would 20;
return from Constantinople to Liverpool until the month Of
May or June next. After some discussion between fir'
Grocott and Mr. Hime, who appeared for the plaintiffs,,,,7
to the defendants' lodging in court the amount of t'w
compensation claimed, £5O,
His Hoisrox said that he did not consider it a ease
ell
which he should order the money to be lodged; and adjourn
the further hearing of the matter to February, Mr. Grocnr°
to have liberty to move then, if necessary, for a further
adjournment.
OMNIBUS COLLISION. —FORD v. WEST.—Mr. Gocoll
appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. John Ford, late omnibus
proprietor, now a licensed victualler in Old Hall-street;
and Mr. C. HUGHES was for the defendant, Mr. J°ll4
West Carter, 19, Duke-street, Great Homer-street.
The action was brought to recover £5 17s. for datuage
done by the defendant's cart to the plaintiff's omnibus b/
corning in collision with it in Great Howard-strej!
The plaintiff's omnibus was proceeding to Crosby, Ibot6
four o'clock, on the 20th of last August, and when near theea
borough gaol, in Great Howard-street, the driver obserc
the cart of the defendant approaching. The road at 615
point being very narrow, and a portion of it, moreoTerl
being torn up at the time for repairing ; the driver ar
some gentlemen on the omnibus called out to the carter t°
stop until the omnibus passed. This he neglected to d°,e
but quickening his pace, came in collision with tiled
omnibus, which was going very slow at the time, and cat
the injury for which compensation was now sought.
His HONOR gave £5 damages, to be paid in three
monthly payments.
From the number of summonses for small amounts'
ranging between two and four shillings, his lio'gte
observed, while condemning such actions, that 51
could not conceive how working men in Liverre°
could-dispute such claims, and in doing so, not only be 0°1:
pelled to pay the debt and the costs attendant on the actin
but also lose their day's work.
