BEFORE MESSRS. J. R

EFFERY AND L. PEET

Several unimportant cases of town nuisances came before
these magistrates, which were disposed of. One case, how-
ever, was heard, in which a police-officer had laid an infor-
mation against a Mr. Massey, for having obstructed the
thoroughfare to the markets in Queen-square. The evidence
having been fully gone into, the Bench decided that it was
more a subject for the Markets' Committee than for that
court. They stated, as an important Tact, which it is right
the police should clearly understand, that on the precincts
of the markets, if any parties caused obstructions, it should
be reported to the town-clerk, whose duty it was to submit
it to the committee in question. The police were instructed
to (10 so in future, and hot to prosemte by information.

THE LANCASHIRE AN YORKS'
RAILDWAY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIM

SlR,—i;rl;ict;;;;liih;aiiention of the Directors of the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company to the very
great inconvenience caused by their present arrangement of
joining the excursion trains, from Liverpool to Sotathport,
to the ordinary trains. This morning (Wednesday), the
9.55 train was delayed a full hour by being joined to an
excursion train, and, instead of arriving at Southpoit at
eleven, it was twelve o'clock before we got there. This put
me to a very ,great inconvenience and loss of time, for I
was prevented executing my business in Southport until late
in the afternoon, when I ought to have been in Manchester.
L complain, not of the pleasure trip, but of the loss of time
to any man of business by such an arrangement.

TrUsting the Directors will see the desirability of attend-
ing- to a matter of so great importance to those who cannot
afford to waste two hours upon a journey of eighteen miles,
I remain, your obliged servant,

TILE RHYL STEAMERS LION AND THE
SO-CALLED SEA KING, alias DUNTROON CASTLE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES,

this time I feel assured the public must be
quite tired of the newspaper correspondence which has been
so rife of late between the owners of the steamers Lion and
Sea King, plying between Rhyl mid Liverpool. Laying
aside all prejudice for or against either party, the public will
now judge for themselves of the conduct of the owners of
the so-called Sea King,, in having presumed, for more than
twelve 'months, to run their boat under a fictitious name, in
direct defiance of the law, thereby deluding the travelling
public into the belief that she was not the Duntroon Castle,
her registered name--not a very convenient one for the
owners, knowing that it is seventeen years since she was
built. The Bodrd of Trade, however, have
,inuance of thenow interfered,
and have Very properly put a stop to the coi4
deception, by insisting upon her' being sailed under her
registered name, _Duntroon Castle.--I am, sir, your obedient
servant, A LOVER OF 'JUSTICE.
