LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE
BEFORE MESSRS. J. B. 'LLOYD AND DIXON.
DOING WITH ONE'S Ows. —William Boyer

charged by Mrs. Fazakarly, publican, of Norfolk-street,
for annoyance and disorderly conduct. Mr. Black appeared
for the complainant, and from his statement and the
evidence of complainant, it appearel that, on
Saturday night, the prisoner went to the house and
created a great disturbance, 'and at the same time
used very mill language to the lady, and frightened
her very much, as she had no one in the place at the
time, so she had to send for an officer to protect
her ; the officer heard him use very bad language. The
prisoner, in reply to his Worship said, he went into the
house and had a glass of ale which he paid for, and then
flung it into the street. lie then got another and did
the same with it. The complainant objected to his doing.
that, but he contended he had a right to do as he pleased
with his own, and this created a controversy, which led
him to the station-house. He was fined 5.5. for being
drunk.
PADDY 3PGRANE'S GOOSE, AND PADDY DOHERTY'S

WINDOWS ! —Two young women, named Bridget M.Grane
and Ann M‘Donald, who held young children in their
arms, were charged with having broken the windows
of - a "gentleman's" house
.in Lace-street, the
value of the glass being ss. The " gentlenian"
is one Paddy Doherty, a resident of Lace-street, and on
making his appearance in the witness box. he created a
" sensation," but except we had one ofe Mr. Robert
Clough's machines, we could not describe his appearance.
However, we can tell his story in his own words :
" Yer reverence, sure they they broke me windees, so
they did, and this was how it happened.. -Biddy,
11I'Grane's husband -that's her, wud the baby bunting
in her arms—well, sir, as I was sayin, he got a goose to

eat for their dinner ; bl,
woman to have a leg of the cratur. .4,.yee'r
lordship, my woman is in a very delicat, iutirely,
and says I to her, Judy, says I, don't tuck a bit
of that goose, bekase you see, sir, she is in
that dilicat sit'7-a—a shin. Why couldn't I ? says Judy.
Bekase, asthore, says I, that goose was stole, says I, and
if you put a bit of it into your mouth, it will choke you
as dead as a mackrel ! I said bekase I knew the goose
was stole, and if she ate it in her present state it would
sartinly choke her ! Well, sir, when
.I sent back word
that we'd have nothin' to *do wid the stolen bird, the
two ladies cam up wid pokers, and tongs, and kitties,
and pavin' stones, and several other morthial
things, and " inalavogued " the windows and the
sashes into " scrunishius ; " and only they couldn't
got at me, they'd have sarved me iw the very same pickle,
so they would." Two or three witnesses were called at
either side, and, from the violence of their language and
their gestures towards each other, they would have served
each others heads after the fashion of the windows.
They were kept from "one another" by "physical
force," and after a "scene," the prisoners were fined 55.,
the value of the broken glass.

" I WANT A PlNT.'' A respectable-looking man,
named David Jones, was charged with having been drunk
and disorderly, and for an assault on Policeman 344.
The officer said he saw the prisoner at a public-house
door, in Kent-street, on Saturday night, after 12 o'clock.
He was drunk and disorderly, and refused to go' away,
and when witness took hold of him by the shoulder
to put him on, he kicked him. Cross-examined by
Mr. Bluck : He was standing at the public-house
door when I came up. I did not strike him at all. Do
you swear you did not hit him at all ? don't answer
that without being cautious, for I have two witnesses
here who will swear you did strike him. Witness : I
swear I did not touch him. No, but did you strike him ?
No, I told him to go home. Were you in the public-
house ? Not at all. Did you ask him to stand a glass
of ale ? No. And you swear positively that you
did not strike him and that that is as true as
that you did not asik him to stand a glass of ale ?
I do. Mr. Bluck then called Mary Corniskey,
who said: I am the servant at the public-house in Kent-
street. Mr. Jones was there on Saturday night, making
up some accounts for the mistress, and at twelve o'clock,
the place was shut up. I let him out about a quarter
past twelve. The policeman came up and said, " Win
you stand a pint of ale ? " Mr. Jones said, tt No,
it is too late, and there is no place to
tileit
litin.",
The officer then asked me to let

Bluck : Did lie hit him ? No, be shoved him. Another

Another
woman was called, and she swore that she slaniw. the officer

when the latter stooped to take up the hat, the officer
struck him again. Mr. Bluck : liad he anything in his
hand at the time ? No, he stnick hint with his hand.
The prisoner was at once discharged.
AN ADDISON-STREE
T Row. - Austin Levinson, an
inhabitant of the.above street, charged with ]laving

O'Neill. with knife, on. the forehead of John
The parties livea in
.Addison-street, and had a
" jolly good fight," and it was alleged that the
prisoner inflicted a serious wound on the prosecutor, with
a knife, in the forehead, as ' stated. Mr.
Cobb,
for
the
'
prisoner, showed that there— regular a " reular Christmas"
as'
fight between the parties, and that, whilst the prisoner
and prosecutor were fighting, the wife of the former hit
i O'Neill a blow -with a tea-pot au the forehead, which cut

him as described. The prisoner, by Mr. Cobb's defence,
got off for £1 fine and costs.

MORE CHRISTMAi SPORT3.—Margaret liarnill, was
charged with breaking the head of Robert Cashin, by
a blow of a hatchet. Mr. Bluck defended. It appeared
that some dispute arose between the parties about
md as, it was alleged, the woman
man a blow of a hatchet on the back of the head, from
the effects of which he is at present in hospital, and not
able to attend. Mr. Bluck proved by witnesses that the
injuries were inflicted by a fall, but the prisoner was
remanded until the result of the injuries could be as-
certained.
THREATENI.NG LANGTJA.OI

Hemming, late
the captain of the ship Golden Eagle, charged two
sailors, named Smith and Sheeham, for having
threatened him. Mr. Bluck was thy the com-
plainant, and Mr. Snowball for the defendant.
The prosecuter and a buy were examined, and
proved that the defendants did use threatening language,
but it appeared that this took place a week ago, and that
since this the complainant had been discharged from the
ship, and after some discussion the complaint was

MR. J. B. JEFFERY

TILE SUSPENDED POLICEMEN.-• Yesterday, the two
police officers, Nos. 33 and 755, who were suspended by
Mr. Jeffery, on Tuesday last, came before his Worship,
on a report presented to him by Mr. Clough and Mr.
Keb,oe, according to his directions. The report con-
sisted of statements taken by officers from parties in the
locality. of Mrs. Whalley's beerhouse, Bamber-street, and
admissions made as to the servant having given the ale to
Mrs.- Booth. So far as the report and admissions went,
the police were exlionorated, and after hearing the state-
ment, his Worship said, that on the former day
of hearing, he thought it his duty, on
.the
evidence then brought before him, to suspend the officers.
After hearing the present report and statement made, he
felt hound to withdraw the suspension—indeed to abro-
gate that suspension, and he suggested that for the
present, so far as the men were concerned to have it
• removed from the books. However, he would let Mr.
Clough still further inquire into the case of the parties
who gave evidence on the last day of hearing. There
was no doubt, whatever, that perjury had been committed
somewhere, but considering the weight of evidence,
and the respectability of the parties who gave
evidence on the last day, and, in the absence of anything
else, he could not have adopted any course but to sus-
pend the officers. Mr. Quick, Chief Superintendent of
police, said, so far as officer 33 was concerned, he brought
a very high character to the force, and he had maintained
that character since. He did not know a more upright
man in the force. He (Mr. Quick) knew that parties
had attempted to bribe him, by-offering him money and
drink, to be less strict, but! when they failed, they used
to put people on to watch, and when they
found him on duty, it used to be said,
"Number 33 is on, and it is no use." Mr_
Jeffery

suspension of the men at the time was
imperative on me. lam glad to hear what you say, and
I hope it will have a salutary effect on all. --Ad-
dressing the officers he said—l have now to say to you,
that I shall not make any further observations, until the
proper time arrives. I have certain statements made
here in this report., not on oath, but still such as induces
me to withdraw your suspension, and therefore I think
it would be premature for me to make any further ob-
servations. When the proper time arrives, I will do My
duty publicly. You will now resume your duty the same
as if nothing had happened. His Worship then directed
Mr. Clough to continue his investigation into this very

strange case

DR. GUTHRIE'S CONVICTIONS.
TO.THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES

Sir,—the address of Doctor Guthrie, as delivered
in Hope Hall, on Tuesday evening last, and as
published in the NORTHERN TIMES, on Wednesday
last, ought to be read, perfectly understood, and.
cngraven on the hearts of every man, woman, and
child within this realm. The doctor, like myself,
makes no foolish distinction between the human
family, and believes in his heart that there never
was but one man made. Well, if it be true that
there never was but one man made' is it not
madness to make foolish distinctions? and, of
the whole human race must be productions

course

of one creation. lam glad to say the doctor is not
a proud man ; he says that he would rather shake
-
hands with a poor working man than with a
duchess. So would I, for the best of all reasons.
If I attempt to shake hands with a duchess, of.
course she would think me mad, _ The doctor
further said : "My wonder is, how people,
Christians as I believe them to be, can go to
church with their Prayer-book or their Bible,
worship God, and love the Lord Jesus Christ, and
yet see those poor, sallow, ragged, and wretched
creatures, staring them in the streets, go away
home, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and never giv(l
a tear for their misery or a shilling for their relief."
Now, I don't wonder at this at all, because there
is no true religion in the hearts of such persons.
If I had an opportunity, I could astonish all the
inhabitants of Europe, by giving a truthful account,
of the conduct of professors of Christianity. No
proud man or proud woman can be true Christiana
—their profession is all humbug. I have been
protesting all my life, in my humble way, against
pride and humbug, and, with the blessing of God,
I shall protest against such as long as I live. There
is no distiction between the babe of the rich
mother and the babe of the poor mother, in the
womb neither is there any apparent distinction
at the birth.

The finest thing in the world is common sense.
The so-called philosopher is a fool without it.
Suppose one of the babes of our Most Gracious
Majesty, and a babe of one of the most humble of
her subjects, immediately on the birth, had been

carefully packed in separate boxes, the same kind.
and dimension, and sent to Liverpool in their naked
state, I ask you, could the most sagacious of the
people of Liverpool say which was the babe of our
Most Gracious Majesty and which was the babe of
the most humble of her subjects. I believe the
persons in question would have been confounded.
Permit me now to direct your attention to the case
of a poor Irish boy. Some years ago, I saw a
crowd of persons at the top of Ranelag,h-street,
Liverpool. I, as others, ran to see the cause. Ofi '
my way, I met a man, with a couple of rings on
his fingers, commonly called a " gentleman." I
asked him what was the matter. He replied thus:
" Oh, it is only an Irish boy got hurt." When I
arrived, I saw the poor' boy bleeding very much at
the hand ; he had a fearful cut ; the thumb was
nearly severed from the h„ Poor fellow !atid.

working man, and said, " Bring this boy on your
back to Mr. Steele," the - then parish surgeon,
residing in Russell-street. Mr. Steele, the surgeon,
I think now of Mount-pleasant, conducted himself
as became a man and a gentleman. lie handled
the poor boy so tenderly and treated him kindly?

When I left the• poor boy, Ithought

poor mother thought as
much of her poor child • 1
as a rich mother can do of
her child. The poor little fellow had become
very weak, in consequence of the loss of blood, and
could scarcely tell me where his mother lived.
In
a short time I understood him to say that it
was in the neighbourhood of Scotland - road-
Next morning I went from street to street., and.
from court to court. At last I found him in a
miserable dwelling; in a court leading off Sa.wney-.
pope-street. The poor woman was near her con-
finement, and had only a wretched bed of straw
in. her miserable apartment. When she saw me,
she lifted her arms and said —" My child! my
• child! " I told her that her child was safe. She
then fell on her knees and thanked me. When I
saw this poor boy in such a state on the street, I
did not ask him whether he was English or ,
Irish,
Protestant or Catholic, but at once saw thaitan7
