discharged the prisoner.
ROBBING THE DOCK TRUSTEES.—A child of very tender
years, was charged with having stolen a small piece of

Hookey, the dock manager, attended, and stated that the
dock trustees were robbed to such an alarming extent.
that it was absolutely necessary that the receivers should
be punished, and in this case he hoped that the receiver
would be punished. The fact of the robbery by the
child was clearly proved, but he was discharged, it being
tina-e,-.!tood that an information would be taken out
against the i:eelver, who would be brought up on a
future occasion.

vagrants, that is, with attempting to defraud a gentleman,
named Robert Hodge, of his money, by a trick with
three cards. William Stanley, the Tranmere policeman,
stated that his attention was first called to the two prime
soners about three o'clock, against Mr. Ferniough's
hotel. He then followed them to the Lord Raglan
publichouse, where he, and another officer, distinctly
heard them making a bet, with a third party, that out of
the three cards they held in their hands that he could
find the three of diamonds. The man would have
made the bet with them, but, fortunately for himeelf, he
bad no money, as they were two well-known travelling
thieves and card sharpers. The c sse did not come within
.

the meaning of the act of parliament, according to ttle
opinion of the bench, and they discharged the offnders.
