• A SWINDLER,--The town of Liverpool has this week
been favoured with the patronage of a young gentleman—a
Scotchman, by the way—who belongs to the numerous class
who live on the industry of other people, and who, therefore,
are sure to live well. There are people who will be " done,"
and there are also people found to " do" them. The modus
operande being different, as the countenances of men are
different. That adopted by the young gentleman in
question, was the alleged purchase of a public-house in the
locality of the docks, and by the open manner—of course
every one thought that his manner was that of an honest
man—he managed to do a smart business in the swindling
line. We can state, for a fact, that a young lady had
accepted him for a husband, but he bolted yesterday
morning for London. We shall say no more, as the
detectives are on the track.

CHARGE OF EMBEZELEMENT.—Yesterday a respetable
looking person, named John Cothill, late a clerk in the
employment of Mr. John Williams, timber merchant,
Cornwallis-street, was charged before the police magistrates
with embezzling the sum of £1 1 ls, the money of his
employer. From the evidence given by Mr. Williams, it
appeared that some time ago he discovered the prisoner had
embezzled £5, but on that occasion he forgave him, and
agreed to take payment by instalments. Over a fortnight
ago he stopped 15s out of the prisoner's salary, as the first
instalment, and after that the prisoner did not come to his
business. Witness then found that Mr. Barton, of Old
Hall-street, had paid the prisoner the sum named, and he
had him arrested. Detective officer Eaton, who had charge
of the prisoner, said he admitted to him that he took the
money, but said it was the fault of drink. The prisoner
was remanded, in order to give prosecutor time to ascertain
if he had received any more money on his account.
CLOSING OF ST. JOHN'S CHURCH-YARD.—Dr. Holland,
one of the officers of the Metropolitan Burial Board, sat in
the Vice-Chancellor's Court, St. George's Hall, yesterday,
for the purpose of enquiring into the statements contained
in the memorial which has been presented to the Health
Committee, by barristers practising on the Northern Circuit,
asking to have the burial ground of St. John's Church
wholly closed. Mr. Alderman Parker attended on behalf
of the St. George's Hall committee, and Dr. C imeren, acting
as medical officer of health, in the absence of Dr. Duncan,
and the deputy town clerk, Mr. M`Gowan, on behalf of the
Health Committee. The Rev. Dr. Taylor, incumbent cf the
church, and a number of parishioners, were also present. It
appears that a conditional order was issued some time since
by the Metropolitan Burial Board, for the closing of the
church-yard, so far as related to the public ground, but
reserving all the family graves and vaults for interments as
at present, subject to certain regulations. Dr. Taylor
admitted, that if the order were sustained in its present
form, the average number of interment, in the family graves
would be about 200 a year, there being upwards of 3,000
family burial pl ices in the churchyard, and both Mr.
M'Kenzie and Mr. Worthy, whose constant attendance at
St. George's Hall, enables them to forma correct opinion
in the matter, declared, that if as many as four graves a
week were opened in the ground, it would be impossible to
prevent the exhalation which is at present so much
complained of, and so injurious to health. Dr. Holland,
officially, expressed no opinion on the subject, but considering
the statements of Dr. Taylor, Mr. M'Kenzie, and Mr.
Wortley, there can be little doubt but that he will report in
favour of closing the church-yard altogether, and that the board
in London will immediately afterwards issue an order to
that effect. Of the ventilating apparatus, and the mode in
which the courts of law and other portions of the building
are supplied with hot and cold air, Dr. Htillana expressed
himself in terms of the highest commendation. The enquiry I
did not occupy any considerable time,
