POLICE COURT;YESTERDAY,

(BEFORE MESSRS. CHALONER AND CBOSTHWAITE.)
CHARGE OF BIGAMY —A young woman, mmed
Lehoe, alias Cline, was brought up in custody, charge
having committed bigamy under the following circumstance:, .
From the evidence of Bridget Cavanagh, who acted as bride's-
maid on the occasion of her first matrimonial speculation, and
of Mrs. Wright, boardinghouse keeper, of No. 2, Crooked..
lane, with whom she lodged, it appeared that the prisoner, in
the month of April, 1854, was married to a seaman named
John Lehoe, in St. Matthias's church, in this town. About
three weeks after the marriage, Lehoe parted from his spouse,
and went to the Black Sea to fight the Russians, who, much to
the chagrin of many, would not fight. After some time he
was dismissed his ship, and then, about five months since, the
allowance which was paid to his wife was stopped. Mrs. Lehoe
regarded this procedure as an intimation that her Jack bad
gone to Davy Jones's locker, and, to kill grief, entered into the
the bonds of matrimony, with a seaman named Cline. The
marriage took place in June last, at St. Peter's church, in
Liverpool. Cline has since sailed for Sydney, and Lehoe
turning tip, has unexpectedly placed the lady in her pr,,ent
difficulty, though quite willing to be happy with either. She
was remanded for the present. Mr. Bluck appeared on her
behalf.

ROBBERY OF COTTON.—John C. Barker, mate of the
American ship Zenobia, was charged with stealing 114- cwt. of
cotton, under the following circumstances :—On Saturday
afternoon, officer 198, while on duty at the Nelson-dock, where
the Zenobia was lying, observed two bales of cotton put ever
her side, which he was given to understand had been sold, with
a hundred weight of rope, by the mate, to a marine-store
dealer, in Oil-street, named Peter Mulligan, for £6 lOs Bd.
He went to the consignees to make inquiries on the subject,
and ho was informed by their managing clerk, and subse-
quently by the captain, that the mato had never been autho-
rised to sell the cotton. When officer 643 went on duty at
eight o'clock, two men, named M'Call and Curran, came to
the gate with the cotton, and believing the story they told him,
that it had been sold by the mate, with the consent of the captain,
who would present the consignee's note, allowed them to
pass. Three bales of the cargo are missing; and while the
prisoner denied all knowledge of them, he admitted that he
had sold the pickings, as, in consequence of a dispute which
arose at New Orleans, before the ship left, in respect of five
bales of cotton, he entered into an arrangement to pay for all
that was short, receiving what remained over. This was 6
practice common in the trade as long as he was connected
with
it. Mr. Clough said he believed that such a practice did
exist, but the parties had no right to any surplus cargo; it
belonged to the consignees. He,also said that the conduct
the matter, of officer 643, and of Curran, who acknowledge'
having purchased the cotton, without inquiry, from a man'
named Liff, would be reported to the watch and finance coin'
mittees. The prisoner was remanded.

A CRIMEAN NAVVY NOT TO BE SARSED.—George ()wood,
a rough, strongly-built man, was charged with having created $
disturbance and used abusive and scurrilous language in the
house of Mrs. Sadler, publican. The prisoner said he was I'
Crimean navvy, just returned, and very bad with the
" rheumatics," and that he merely went into the house to sell
a comb, one of the trophies lie brought with him from the
seat of war. The young woman who was cleaning the door,
was not very urbane in her manner towards the hero, in can;
sequence of which he mildly remonstrated with her, and rel'
her" a Crimean hero should not be sarsed." &ie, however,
persisted, whereupon, said he, " I sarsed her, but I used verf‘
little words—they were very little words indeed." (Laughter./
All the witnesses declared that if his words were little, their
were at any rate most expressive, and far from polite, an,
that he was in the habit of giving more " sarse" than V"
agreeable to all his acquaintances. He was fined .5.3 and costs,
or seven days imprisonment.

(BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD)

COLLISION ON THE RlVER.—William Owen;, master of
the steam-tug Tower castle, appeared on summons to answer
