POLICE INTELLIGENCE

LIVERPOOL.
BEFORE MR. DIXON.
STEALING FROM A DWELLING.—A,
well-dressed young
female, named Catherine Moore, described by her
attorney (Mr. Goodere), as a niece of the Head Police
Constable of Dublin, was brought up by detective officer
Scott on a charge with having stolen £6 lOs worth of
wearing apparel, belonging to Mr. Ebenezer Thompson,
of Belgrave-terrace, Everton. It appeared that the
grandmother of the prisoner was housekeeper to Mr.
Thompson, and on Friday last the prisoner went to visit
her relative, and soon after she left the property was
missed. Scott found some handkerchiefs in the prisoner's
box in her lodgings, and these were proved to be the
property of Mr. Thompson. The defence set up by
Mr. Goodere was that the hanikerchiefs were given to
the prisoner by a young man, whose name is Thomas-
Thin'low, and who resides at No. 14, Soho-street, but
who is now in Whitehaven. The prisoner was I emanded.
THE HALF-BARREL OF ALT: AGAIN !—Mathew M'Cabe,
James Rosity, and William Henderson, publican, of No:
94, Chisenhale-street, were brought up on remand. The
details of this case have been published on two former
occasions. The charge was for stealing half a barrel of
ale from a dray belonging to Mr. Howard, brewer.
Mr. Roby appeared for Henderson, who was charged
with receiving the ale, well knowing it to have been
stolen. During the investigation the latter got,
apparently so affected, that he had a slight fit, but
after some time he recovered, and was handed
a chair. Mr. Roby addressed the court on
behalf of Henderson, and stated that, for twenty-
four years, lie was butler ,to Sir. Robert Gerard,
and bore a high character. About six months ago, he
set up the public-house, and Mr. Roby contended that
his client had lent Bolan (the missing person) .10s to
purchase the ale, as be (Bolan) had got a bargain of it.
He called Robert Abraham, who said he was in Hender-
son's on the night the ale was stolen, and he said when
the officers came to look for the ale, the prisoner told
the constables that the ale was in the passage. The
prisoners were fully committed. for trial, but the bench
agreed to take two sureties of £5O each, and himself in
£lOO, for Henderson's appearance at the Sessions.
A DOWNRIGHT BLACKGUARD 7. William Jones, a
thorough looking blackguard, was charged under the
following circumstances :—The prisoner was employed
by Mr. William Gallop to drive a shandry ; and by his
ill conduct he knocked down the horse in the street,
and smashed one of the shafts of the vehicle. His em-
ployer stopped the amount of the damage, by instal-
ments, from the prisoner. On Saturday night, the
prisoner broke into Mr. .Gallop's yard, St. Andrew-
street, and, with a saw, he cut the other shaft off the
shandry ; and, just as he had finished this malicious act,
he was caught by a person named Peter Dermott.
The damage done amounted to £1 6s 6d. The
prisoner, in the most impudent manner, . said-
I done it. Mr. Dixon : Why did 'yoti do such a malicious
act ? Prisoner : Why, beeause my 'Wages were stopped
for breaking the other shaft. Mr. Dixon : You must
pay the amount of the damage, or go to gaol for one
month.

EXTRAORDINARY CABE OF HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN WEST
Duane'-ROAD —Four well-dressed persons, named
William Robinson, James Woods, Thomas Ward, and
Samos Thompson, were charged with having robbed Mr.
George Thomas, described as a mercantile person, resid-
ing at 68, Russell-street (a% understood by the reporter),
of a suns of 4'60 in Bank of England notes of £lO each.
Mr. Snowball appeared for the prisoners. Officer Rielly,
No. 91 said, about eleven o'clock on Saturday night, the
complainant came to hint in Whitechapel, and informed
him that he had been robbed of £6O, in West Derby-
road, and described Ward as one of the persons who
robbed him of £6O, and said he (Ward) lived in Shaw's-
brow. The officer took 541 with him and went there
but found Ward had gone to Great Newton-street, but
they could not get much information about hint
there. They then proceeded to Mr. Clough's office, in
Dale-street, and on their way, when passing through
another street. they saw a fight ; and it would appear

Great Newton-street, getting a glass of drink. The
prisoners came, but not altogether, as Ward entered the
house first, and then, in a brief period, the others
followed him. They commenced fighting at once, when
some one interfered, and said it was a shame for gentle-
men to settle their disputes in that way. They then
proposed to settle the difference—whatever it was—by

WAVERTREE LOCAI BOIM) OF HEALTH

Tha usual monthly meeting of this board was held at
the Public Offices, \Vavertree, last evening.—The Rev.
W. liadnall presided. The other members present, were
—Messrs. Chaffer, Picton, Rishton, Gore, Bradburn,
Geddes, Davis, Anderton, and Ha!head.
The meetings of this board should he held at half-past
six o'clock. At that hour, the reporters from the Liver
pool press were in attendance, expecting to be admitted
to hear and report what business the board did really
transact. There was a full attendance of commissioners,
and it was whispered that " certain tenders" were to be
opened and received, but, as that was a subject con-
sidered by the board to be a financial question, the
reporters were not almit'ed until nearly half-pist seven,
when only the routine business had to be disposed of. It
would be a matter of convenience if the board would
state at what hour the public business would commence
