The medical officer of health reported that in the week
ending on Saturday, the 24th inst., 211 deaths were
registered in the borough, being 33 mere than in the
previous week, but 14 less than the corrected average of
previous years. In the workhouse, the unusual number
of 35 deaths occurred, the number in the previous week
having been only sixteen, so that in the deaths occurring
elsewhere in the borough, the excess over the previous
week is reduced to 14. The total deaths in the parish
were 160, and in the out-townships 51; 54 deaths
occurred from zymotic diseases; of which there were,
scarlatina 13, typhus 12 (more than in any week
Seplember), measles 9, hooping-cough 6, dia.robcea
3, small pOx 2, syphilis 2 ; from diseases of the lungs
there were 66 deaths. The death of a girl, 6 years of
age. was registered as having occurred from sea sickness.
In West Derby ward, with a population of 29,000,
only 3 deaths were registered. The air was cold in the
early pa; t of the week, but in the tatter half of the week
it was warmer than the average. The mean of the week

was 54 degrees 6 10ths, being I degree below the average,
Rain fell on every day except Tuesday, the total amount
being half an inch.
The borough engineer, building surveyor, and inspector

of nuisances, reported various particulars of the opera-
tions in their several departments during the week, from
which it appeared that 97 nuisances complained of by
inhabitants had been inspected, and means taken to
remedy them. 1,064 houses in the unhealthiest district,

containing 3,395 apartments and 310 cellars, had been
put under examination, with the view of improving
their sanitary condition,—This concluded the business.

SEDUCTION, BREACH OF PROMISE,
ASSAULT, DEBT, AND LAW.

SLATER v. POWER.—This cause was tried on Wednesday
at the County Court, before Joseph Pollock, Esq., judge.
The case had repeatedly come before the public, and the
particulars must be well known to our readers, full
reports of it having appeared when the enquiry was held
before the magistrates, by whom the defendant was
fined £5 for an assault upon the plaintiff. The case
_ _ .

was likewise opened in the County Court on the 10th of
April last. The simple facts are these :—The plaintiff,
Jane Slater, alleged that she had, by mistake, gone as
a passenger on board the defendant's ship to Quebec,
intending to go to New York, hut, after being at sea a
few days, the defendant (Captain Power) had made
overtures to her, an,l, under promises of marriage, had
succeeded in seducing her, and, after her arrival at
Quebec, she had lent him various sums of money.
Having been left by him at Quebec, she returned to
Liverpool, where she met the defendant in Pitt street,
and asked him for the money she had lent him, when he
struck her twice. For that assault he was summoned
before the magistrates, and the case being fully gone
into, he was fied £5. The present claim was for .£5O ;
money lent under peculiar circumstances. Mr. Campbell
appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Bremner for the
defendant. The first witness called was the plaintiff,
_ _

who stated the whole of her connection with the defen-
dant, which fully bore out the opening statement made
by the legal adviser, when the case was first beard in
this court in April last. The additional evidence called,
was that of a girl named Witby, who stated that on the
day before the case was first heard, she was in a house in
a street off the London-road, where the plaintiff lodged.
At eight o'clock in the morning, she saw the defendant
in the plaintiff's bed. The plaintiff was lying on some
chairs in a lower room ; that he repeatedly called her to
go up stairs, which she refused to do. On his coming
down stairs, she (the witness) heard the plaintiff ask
him about some money, to which he replied, " you must
wait six months for it, and if you go to court, I will get
the case adjourned, and go to sea again, and you will
nether get your money nor me."
His Honour : Was this on the Thursday ? Witness :

Yes, it was.
Mr. Bremner : Do you say he had been there all
night ? Witness : From his being in her bed at eight
o'clock in the morning I should say he had.

_ -
His Honour : Not an unnatural conclusion to arrive

Thomas Radock, police constable, 296, spoke to
having witnessed the fracas in Pitt-street on the 18th of
February last, when the plaintiff wished to give the
defendant into custody for assault, and the defendant
wished to give the plaintiff into custody for annoying
him, but he (the witness) advised them to keep the
peace and take out a summons, which the plaintiff did,
and he was a witness in the case before the magistrate.
He also spoke to hearing the plaintiff ask the defendant
for the money he owed her, saying she had fed him and
clothed him, and all she wished to have was her money.
The defendant's answer was, " You know very well I

have not got it now ; conic some other time and I will

give it
,you."
By Mr. Bremner : He certainly did not deny owing
her the money.

This was the case for the plaintiff

Mr. Bremner then addressed the court on behalf of
the defendant, Be observed that the case was a most
painful one to all concerned, and especially for the
defendant more particularly, as he should have to call
his wife before the court to be examined. The defendant
would have to confess having had connection with the
woman, and his wife would have to be placed in the box
to support certain points in this case. He should rest
his case on the evidence of the woman herself, and
should prove that she was a woman of infamous habits,
that her statement was one tissue of falsehoods, and that
she was not to be believed, If he did that, he thought
he should be entitled to a verdict. He then went on to
say that he should prove that the plaintiff well knew
that the defendant was a married man, for she had met
him with his wife and children, and had conversed with
them before they sailed. Besides, who would believe
that a respectable girl of 16 years of age would be
travelling about Ireland alone, one day having £5O in
her pocket, and another being at lodgings at is 6d per
week, or that she did not know, after going to the agents
and paying her passage, that the ship was going to Quebec
and not to New York. Mr. Bremner then made some
comments upon her conduct while at New York, ob-
serving, from her own statement, that there could be no
doubt but that she had kept a house of ill fame there
He next should show that, during the defendant's stay
there, when it was alleged that the plaintiff had lent
him the money, that he had drawn upon the agents
there, and did not require any assistance.
His Honour: But with regard to the account. In
that she has been substantiated by two witnesses.

Mr, Bremner : Yes, he did not deny it before the
policeman, but at that time both of them were enraged,
and their blood was hot.

His Honour : But I should have thought that he
would have at once indignantly denied the debt,
Mr. Bremner: That is your acute reasoning.
His Honour : It is the reasoning of any man. There
is a great part of the case, His Honour said, he did not
believe a word of ; but with regard to the money, she
was corroborated. As to character, there was no doubt
but that her conduct was very suspicious, but it must be
recollected that the defendan'.'s character was quite as
bad. Be fully believed that there was no
truth in h r statement, that she did not
know but that the defendant was a married
man, because she had reminded him about his children,
and although he had said something about their being
his sisters, she was too wise a woman to believe it; but
what be wanted to have explained was the debt, which
he was trying. Had he been trying a case of seduction
or breach of promise on such evidence, lie should not
Lave given a verdict on either side. He was, however,

now trying an action for debt, on which Mrs. Power,
-the defendant's wife, could not give any evidence, and
it was his wish to avoid having her put into the box.
After some few observatioo7,, in the course of which Mr.
Bremner admitted that he had been relieved from a
most painful task, the two legal gentlemen, with his
Honour, retired into a private room.
After a short consultation they again returned into
court, when the legal gentlemen and their clients had
an interview the result of which was that
Mr. Bremner : On consideration, my client will not
consent to a verdict of any sum, therefore, the judgment
of the court will go against him. He will not let it go
forth to the world thet he admits [laving borrowed any
money of the woman.
His Honour explained that he had merely interposed
at the time he did to avoid the painful necessity of

calling Mrs. Power.
Mr. Bremner thanked his Honour for the course he

had pursued.
Mr. Campbell : Then there will be a verdict for the
full amount claimed.
li His Honour further said that, after reading the evidence
given on the former hearing, he did not think Mr. Camp-
bell :could have made out his case, but after hearing the
additional evidence on that day, which could only be
denied on the single unsupported testimony of the
defendant, he felt bound to give a verdict for the
plaintiff for the full amount claimed.
