LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

(BEFORE MR. ALDERMAN HOLME.)
THE ADVENTURES OF A POOR IRISH NAILOR.—John
Maguire, Joseph 111‘Glade, and Ann Higgins, were
charged with having robbed a poor old man, named
John Hodgson, who said he was a nailor by trade, and
.had come from Ballinasloe, of £4 in Irish notes, and 17s
in silver. The case presented features of great atrocity.
The old man said he arrived in Liverpool at seven o'clock
on Saturday morning, for the first time. His son, who
is a nailor, and working in Liverpool, was to have met
him, but he did not. He enquired if any one could
direct him to a nailor's shop ? and. ome one sent him to
Vauxhall-road, where he met the prisoner M'Glade and.
his brother (not in custody). The female prisoner called
them, andssad, " Joe, here's a nailor looking for his
son." The prisoners then said they would take him t 6
where his son was, as they stated they knew him. He
went with them, and, for their kindness, he treated them
to a tumbler of punch each. When they left the public.
house, the prisoner, M`Glade, asked him if he had any
money ? He said he had four one pound notes and
some 'silver, to send his son to America. " Take it out
of your pocket," said the prisoner, " for, if you do not,
some one will take it from you. The poor old fellow
added, with great simplicity, " I took out the notes, rolled
iLem up in a handkerchief, and put them under my oxter
for safety. He then asked for my bundle to carry it. I
gave it ;
h togive my son going to America.
