Smith that she had the money. Mr. Bluck said the pri-

baby stripper, was brought up on r
that she had stripped of their clothes came up and proved
she had stolen their clothes. The woman was sent for trial.
Mr. Clough said, since the arrest of the prisoner, all baby
stripping had ceased through town, and it seemed she was the
only " professor" of that sort of plunder.

BEFORE; THE MAYOR AND MR. J. STEWART,

SEAMENS WAGES CASES. Francis Lee, late steward on
board the ship Bosphorus, belonging to Messrs. Rathbone,
summoned the captain of that vessel for £4l odd, wages due
to him. Mr. Cobb was for the complainant, and Mr.
Snowball for the defence. It appeared that the complainant
shipped in July last as steward of the ship, at £4 a month
on a voyage to Calcutta and back. He cont;
steward up to the 9th February, on t

e, when In
le ground of ineap

was disratea

ordered -to do the s dut)T of an ordiry.
seaman, which he refused to do, alleging that he had
shipped as steward, and steward he would be. For the
defence, several passages were read from the log, showing
that the complainant was insolent to the captain, that he,
did not know how to perform his duty, that he had not got
ready some potatoes one morning for breakfast, that he had
wasted the ship's stores, and that he had stabbed a boy on
hoard. The defence set up by Mr. Cobb to these allega-
tions, showed that the charges were utterly groundless, and
he argued that there was no foundation for them, for
the complainant had acted as steward from July to
February without any complaint. If he had been incapable
to perform his duty, the captain would not have kept turn at
Calcutta, but discharged him. He did not, however, do so,
but kept him on the homeward voyage, without any com-
plaint. Mr. Cobb also showed, -on the cross-examination of
the captain and the mate, that the stores were not wasted,
and, in fact, quite disproved the charges made acrainst Lee.
The magistrates, after a short .consultation, ordered the
complainant £37 7s. Bd. and costs, being the full sum (less
some deductions allowed to be correct by the complainant)
claimed by Lee, whereas the defendent wanted to stop
£3O 16s. from the complainant.
A young man named Jones, summoned the owners of the
ship James Brown, under the following circumstances. Mr.
Aspinall (barrister) appeared for the defence. The facts
were these:—Tones was a steward on board the ship, and
when crossing the Bay of Biscay, last December, he got
his leg broken in the discharge of his dray. He was put
back into Cork, where he remained some time, and was
then sent back to Liverpool. The only question at issue
between the parties was, how much] the claimant was
entitled to under the circumstances. After a thorough

EVANS'S

ion of the whole case the magistrates awarded
Jones £26 odd, and certain costs and expenses—all he
claimed.

CHARGE AGAINST A BROKER.—Thomas Kelly, broker,
16, Greetham-street, was charged with acting as a pawn-
broker, without a licence. Mr. Tyndall appeared for the
crown, and Mr. Bluck (for Mr. Cobb) was for the defence.
The opening portion of this case appeared in our paper of
yesterday. There were several witnesses produced at both
sides, and, after a long investigation, the magistrate decided
that the charge was proved, and fined Kelly £25.
