POLICE COURT. v- - ESTE RDAY

(BEFORE MR. STITT.)
"'ROBBERY OF A GOLD WATCH.—Job Swift and Thomas
Thorp, two American sailors, were charged with stealing
a gold watch, value £l6, from the public house of Mrs.
Harriet Coward, the " Shakespeare," in Williamson-
square. The prisoners went into the house of the prose-
cutrix about eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning, and
enquired for a shipmate, but he was not there. There
was a gold watch on the kitchen table, and after the
prisoners went out it was missed. An alarm was given
and the prisoners were followed and arrested in Dale-
street, and the watch was found on Thorp, who said
Swift and handed it to him. The prisoners were fully
cmmitted for trial.

THE BURGLARY AT MR. PERCIVAL'S, BATH-STREET.—
Anne Jane Stephens, William Bowman, Mary M'Entire,
Bridget Finlay, John M'Alister, Robert Bowner, and
Mary Whittaker, were brought up by officers Scaife
and Thompson, on a charge of being concerned in the
burglary and robbery committed in the ship stores of
Mr. Percival, and also in the ship chandlery store of
Mr. Maddox, next door to the former, in Bath-street.
It may be remembered that on the morning of the 4th
instant, the stores were broken into, and a large quantity
of property, consisting of hams, cheese, and other
Provisions, with pistols, razors, knives and forks, wines,
brandy, &c., stolen. The details of the case have already
been published in our paper a few days ago. The
prisoners were arrested from time to time, and portions
of the property stolen, such as pistols, knives and razors,
found, and these were traced to the prisoners. The
police again asked for a remand, until the case could be
perfected. The prisoners were again remanded for seven
days.

(BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.)
VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A WOMAN.—Mary Connolly, the
owner of a bad house in Peter-street, charged two per
sons, named Arthur Allison and Sarah Walsh, with
having committed a violent assault on her. It appeared
that on the night of the 3rd instant, the complainant
and the male prisoner had some altercation, when Walsh
struck Connolly with something on the head, and
inflicted a severe wound. She was not able to come up
to prosecute until yesterday. Surgeon Sayer, of the
Northern dispensary, stated that the prosecutrix was
brought to him suffering from a severe contused wound
on the left temple, 21 inches long • the left temporal
artery was cut through, and she bled very profusely.
She is still suffering from the effects of the wound, It
was not shown that the prisoner Allison struck any blows,
and he was discharged, but the woman Walsh was
convicted and sentenced to six months' imprisonment
and hard labour,

IMPORTANT TO LANDLORDS —John Grierson, the land-
lord of houses in 4.court, Kitchen-street, was summoned
by the Officers of Health for not having the rears of the
houses properly provided for. It would appear that in
consequence of nuisance, which arose for want of proper
repairs, that illness prevailed, and some deaths had taken
place. Mr. Mansfield said, in all cases landlords must
pay proper attention to their houses and be subject to
the wholesome regulations of the Board of Health, who
deserved much credit for their exertions. He would
adjourn the case for seven days, to give time to have the
proper repairs made.
