CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRE-
TENCES.—SamueI Bingham, described as a divisional inspec-
tor in the employmnet of Mr. Rose, was brought up by
detective officer Povey, on a charge of the above descrip.
tion. Mr. Bluck was for the prisoner. The short facts of
the case were these :—The prisoner bad, for the last twelve
months, made a retain of two men named Brown and Evans,
and received their wages, whereas there were no such per-
sons i❑ the employment of Mr Rose. The case was rather
a confused one, but from what could be collected from the
evidence of two witnesses, it would appear that the prisoner
directed them to bring the wages of two men to him, which
they did on some occasions. In reply to Mr. Block, they
said they did not know what he did with the money, he might
have paid it to the men, for all they could tell ; there
were probably men named Brown and Evans in the employ-
ment. The cash-keeper of Mr. Roso was examined, but all
he could tell was that lie paid money on the certification of
Mr. Cottam, the superintendent who was over the prisoner.
Mr. Rose was examined, and said ho had a great respect for
the prisoner, and did not wish to press the case further than
necessary, he was sorry for the prisoner, who, at the request
of Mr. Clough, was remanded

THE KNIFE AMONGST THE WomErr.--Johanna Roche,
residing in No. 9 Court, Peter-street, was brought up by
officer Smith, 647, on a charge of having stabbed a woman,
named Mary Carroll, who resides in the same Street. Mr.
Black appeared for the prisoner. The evidence disclosed that
both persons are keepers of bad houses, and on Saturday they
had a quarrel about a female. They struck each other, and,
after some fighting, the prisoner stabbed the complainant over
the right eye with a penknife, which inflicted a severe wound.
Mr. Mansfield said he had determined to send all such cases
for trial. Mr. Bhick said, in that case, he would not call
some witnesses who would put a different construction on the
story, but would reserve his defence for another court. A
medical gentleman stated that the wound was an incised one.
It was not dangerous to life, although a severe injury. The
prisoner was sent for trial.

STRANGE CASE OF ASSAULT.—A well-dressed person,
whose card bore the following inscription :—" J. D. Quin,
shipbroker, forwarding agent, and general commission mer-
chant, York-chambers, 22, North John-street, Liverpool,"
was brought up on a warrant by detective-officer Patrick, on
charges of having assaulted Mr. Robert Clegg, provision mer-
chant, of Tithebarn-street, and also David Rose, a young man
in the employment of Mr. Clegg. Mr. Reay, of the Guar-
dian Society was present to watch the ease, as the prisoner
was a "ticket-of-leave man." It appeared that some time
ago, the prisoner had been sentenced to transportation, but
lately he again made his appearance in the town in the capa-
city set out on his card. Mr. Reay wro'e to the Home Sec-
retary, to ascertain if the prisoner had been granted a free
pardon, and received an answer in the negative, but stating tint
the prisoner had been allowed conditional liberty. When
the case was called on, the prisoner, with a theatrical attitude,
and with a very self-sufficient air, said, " before this case
proceeds, I want to ask you, Mr. Mansfield, to give me a fair
and patient investigation." His worship said, the prisoner
would have every justice. The prisoner, in a very pompous
manner, and with the air and tone of a deeply injured person,
proceeded ta address his worship. He complained loudly of a
great conspiracy got up against him, as he alleged, by Mr.
Clough, officer Patrick, Mr. Reay, of the Guardian Society,
and Mr. Clegg, the provision merchant. His manner and
delivery, his gesticulations, and his tout ensemble, caused a
good deal of merriment. He wound up a rambling speech,
by saying he was a British subject, and claimed the protection
due to such an exalted individual, from the con-
spiracy of the individuals he had named, The young man,
David Rose, was then sworn, and stated that his employer, Mr.
Clegg, sent him for some money to the prisoner's office. He
told him his business, when the prisoner said, " begone out of
my office, you scoundrel, how dare you come here to look for
money ?" He did go out at once, when the prisoner seized a
poker and followed him out into the lobby, and caught him
by the collar, chuckled, and struck him, at the same time
flourishing the poker over his head, and swearing be would
annihilate him. The prisoner now talked very largely about
his office, and the annoyance lie experienced from Mr. Clegg
and his young man. He did not deny, he said, owing Mr.
Ciegg some money, but his office was not to be annoyed on
that account. He said there was a gentleman who had been
present at the affair. and whom lie wished to be sent for; he
begged that officer Patrick might not be sent for him, as he
would no doubt try and get the gentleman into the conspiracy
against him. Mr. Mansfield said there was no danger of the
re-pectable gentleman mentioned entering into any conspiracy
against the prisoner—indeed the existence of any such conspi-
racy was guise imaginary. Mr. Clegg was then sworn, and
stated that the prisoner, on last Saturday fortnight, obtained
goods from him by false representations, as he soon found that
out, but too late. Last Friday he went to the office of the
prisoner, and demanded his money. The prisoner told
him to be off, but he refused to go, when the fellow
seized him by the collar and shoved him out, at the same time
flourishing the poker over his head, and threatening to annihi-
late him with it. The prisoner admitted that ho owed the
money, but again complained of the annoyance, and of the
conspiracy. Mr. Clegg produced twa letters written by the
defendant, in relation to the goods, but, as the case was one of
assault, the documents could not be read. The gentleman who
had been alluded to by the prisoner now came into court, and
proved the assault on the young man by the prisoner, for
which he was fined £2 and costs, but the charge preferred by
Mr. Clegg was dismissed, on the ground that he did not go
out of the office when required to do so.

CHARGE OF SMUGGLING.—Captain Conk, of the ship Lady
Sale, arrived here from Maranham, was charged with having
nibs. of snuff (foreign made) on board his ship, contrary to the
statute, &c. The captain said it was put on hoard by a gentle-
man who intended io have entered and paid duty on it, but
he had forgotten to send the necessary papers. Ife was
allowed out on bail to Thursday next.

CAUTION TO PORTERS. —A '
poi ter, named Thomas Morris,
who resorts to the railway terminus, Lime-street, was charged
for acing as an " Emigrant Runner" without a badge and
license. He was fined £5.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER AND THE BANK.
—A parliamentary return just issued states at 11,883,9591
the total amount of "Exchequer Bills or Treasury Bills,
and other government securities," which were purchased
by the Bank of England, or on which advances were
made for the public service by the Bank, in the year
ending the sth ult. Of these securities, the aggregate
amount discharged prior to the sth ult., was 11,886,504/.
There taus remained on that (lay in the hands of the Bank,
505,9371. in Exchequer Bills (per 18 and 19 Viet., cap.
130), besides 491,511/. in Exchequer Bonds (redeemable
in 1860, per same act). To the extent of these two sums
the Bank has made advances to government.

AN ACCURATE BLUNnER.—Ilere is a very curious inci-
dent in the life of a celebrated medical man some half a
Century since:—" Dr. Fordyce sometimes drunk a pod
deal at dinner. He was summoned one evening to see a
lady patient when he was more than half seas over, and
conscious that he was so. Feeling her pulse, and finding
himself unable to count its beats, he muttered—' Drunk,
by God ! Next morning, recollecting the circumstance,
he was greatly vexed ; and just as he was thinking what
explanation of his behaviour he should offer to the lady, a
letter from her was put into his hand. She too well
knew,' said the letter, 'that he had discovered the unf r-
tunate condition in which she wts when he last visited
her; and she entreated him to keep the matter secret in
consideration of the enclosed (a hundred pound bank
note).'"—Rogore Tail, Talk.
