Adam ICPtrtuchin, aryl James AtMum., the perse-ns cbafged
16-6- Mewling a gold watch- from Mr. Jones, printer, of
;North John-street, were brought up on . remand. Mr.
131iek defended M'Cuch&,. Mr. Cobb was for Atkinson., and
Mr. Campbell fur Fletcher. It will be remembered that
Mr. Ames 'lost his wateh on Shaw's-brow, a week since.
He repeated the evidence giVen by him, which has been
alreadypublished. He was strhjected tootle of the most fiery--
furnace cross-examinations we have ever heard, by the
three learriedl advocates—enough to have broken down the
pillars of Hercules, but Mr. Jones; with a coolness that would
have done. credit to any cucumber or granite_stone, bravely
withstood the- ordeal. He denied that he- was called
4‘ goody two slides ;" that he ever dressed himself in
women's clotheS, and went to bails in that way; that he
had ever taken "liberties" with any of the prisoners, and
so' on. Mr. €611.6- made the fiercest attack of the three on
him, and said' he was instructed to do so, and should of
course follow his' instructions. The assault was so furious-,
that Mr. Clough at last jumped up, and said the witness
was not to be nut down by clamour ; whfn -Mr. Cobb told
him to .resume his seat, as he (Mr. Cobb) was not to be
daunted by Mr. Clough and his absurdities.- The three
learned gentlemen addressed the court in energetic terms,
each contending that. his client was innocent; and Mr-
Cobb, called witnesses to prove an alibi on 'the rant of his
client. His Worship said he would not- decide the case
there, and sent the 'prisoners for trial. at the sessions.

LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE. - YESTERDAY.
BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.
ASRAULTING A FEMALE.-7-.A " rough." named John Booth,
was brought up by officer-Lees No. 90, who said, at one in
the morning, he saw him knock down a young woman, in
Dale-street, and- kick lien very badly in the body and legs ;
the limbs were much injured. It appeared, -said the officer,
that the young woman lived' With the prisoner, in Cross-
hall-street, and that he used to fellow her ont at night as
a" bludgetter." The girl refused to appear against hini; but
the officer having proved the assault, the prisoner was fined
£d, or two months' impris-onment.
TUE DYVES OE A PISCATORY DAMSEL, A.-'SD A CART-
OwNEn.—Mary Hoy, a tall, swan-necked-looking female,
described as the keeper of a fish-stall in St. !Olin's Market,
was charged by Thomas 11'0g-stiff, a tart-owner, living at
26, Penrhyn-street, Scotland-road, for having stolen £29
from him. Mr. Muck was for the prisoner. The case
was very laughable. The first question put to the prose-
cutor by Mr. Muck, was, " What's your name, sir ?"
Witness ,(solemnly) : "My name is Thomas 'Wagestaff,
junior ;" albeit, from his appearance, he might have been a
grandfather; and when .he, said "junior," a burst of langhter
followed, Mr. BlucTs And what are y=on ? Complainant : A
cart-owner. He then went on to state that on 'Sunday even-
ing lie went out, whistling as he went, for want of thought.
He was rambling about, " seeking finsadventnees," when who
should he meet but the prisoner, gliding; about like a
Sylnhide or: wood nymph, in the balmy twilight. At sight of
her, he waxed- poetic, and, whispered something about the
breezes ;sighing . among the treeses, and how the honey
beeses and the mice was eatiu cheeses ! He had £99-a
ten-peund note and 19 golden sovereigns—in a bag, and the
bag was' in his poeket,' and his
.hand 'was on the bag; and
the bag was comfortable and snug there. He went on to
state that, having met the tall lady, he asked her what she
would take to drink? She condescended to have a glass
of port, and they then talked about Cupid and several Other
enchanting things of that sort.. "He agreed to meet her next
evening in -the "Throstle Nest;" in Scotland-road, and So'
the matter then ended.- They did meet, and after some time,
under the infitience of ginger beer, the amorous cart-owner
fell dead asleep in the arms' of one Mr. Murphy, alias Moe-
fe-us—thegentleman who was good enough to "invent sleep."'
and there he lay as snug as a thrnsh'in a bush, and did not
dream even of his £29, nor the piscatory Venus.
oblivious state defied all brain galloppers like our friend
Queen Mab—a very respectable monarch in her line, is the-
lady Mal,. How long lie lay in this glorionS state of " for-
getting, and by the cold worldlings forgot," no one can say,
but when he awoke, his darling Mary hail " mizzled," and,.
What was worse than the absence of " darling Mary," Wa'3•
the bag that held such a prominent place .in his pocket..
Even the'hag was not much valued, but its contents were
the.chief object of concern, and the said contents were in no
place to he found. Information was given to the police,
and the result was that Miss Hoy was taken up, and on
searching her a sum' of over seventeen sovereigns was found
on her. The prosecutor insisted that she had taken the
1111
whole of -the money ;from him, but on' being searched him-
self, at the request .of the lady, the, ten pound note, and
one sovereign turned out of his pocket, " snug and com-
fortable." The complainant was cross-examined by Mr.'
Bluck, and .his answers wore as follows :—I never
saw the lady before :::andea night. I did. -not
fall particularly in love with here we talked a bit or so, and
that was all. I did not promise to merry her. Did you
say it was a good job that you-.:let L, ,r might have said
so, but I now think it's a bad job. (Loud laughter.) - IMO
not married. I was very tipsy, but I. draals nothing.
(Laughter.) Mr. Black : `flirt: you were intoxicated with
delight, or some wile:: beverage of that sort? (Great
laualiter ) Wit:ass : perhaps it was that way it
happened. (Itensaael ,Isr.) Mr. Muck : You say you
were, very tipsy;, now, sir, -:11 you swear that it was delight
that made you so ? The : ter scratched his head ten times
worse than any Welshmas, but refused to answer the
• cutestion. Mr, : Now, mind and answer this qaestien
correctly, because I intend to bring •an action against you
for breach. of promise of marriage —Did you, promise to
marry her ? WitnesS : I swear this, that I am not, at
present, inclined to marry her nor any other lady. (Great
laughter.) - Mr. Bhiek.:' Aye; but that's not 'answering
the question. Did you promise to marry, her,
sir ? Witness Did I promise to marry her, is it ?
Mr. Block : It is, exactly. Diil you. promise to marry her,
sir ? Witness: I'd rather you'd not ax me any more that
way. (Laughter.) Mr. Block : Oh, but I will, sir, ask
you a great deal more than that. Did you not promise to
marry her, and did yon not give her the money to preyare
the marriage " fixings ?-"' (Laughter.) Witness : Well, I
certainly did not kiss her, at any rate. (Roars of laughter.)
Mr. Black : I need not go further than this,. your Worship.
His Worship was of the same opinion, and said, "The best
thing to he done is to discharge the prisoner, and let the
money found on het be given up to the complainant." Mr:
Muck: I think your Worship ought to order her at least
£lO out of the money,. for her disappointment; for I am
'instructed to' bring en action against this loving cart-owner,
not only for a breach of promise, but fertile recovery of the
money also. The prisoner was then discharged.
ANNOYANCE. --A fine looking young woman, dressed in
lady-like fashion, who gave her name as Margaret Tracy,
was charged by Miss Sarah Preston, of 3e, Edge-lane,
with annoyance. Tt appeared that the prisoner was-in the
habit of going to the house and creating a disturbance there.
Mr. Mansfield : Why does she act so? Complainant: She,
says there is a gentleman in the house who owes her money.
Mr. Mansfield :- Have you a gentleman lodging in the house ?
Yes, sir, and she is a great nuisance to us, and comes at all
hours to annoy us. Mr. Mansfield :. What have yon to say
Margaret ? The'' prisoner said, ..theieis a man who calls
himself :a .gentlenian, named Thomas Avison, wno owes me
£9, and I have gone after him several times, but can't get
him to pay me. I went there yesterday and saw'him at the
window, and he jeered me in place of paying me what he
owes. I admit I got excited, and,. perhaps• did not act
altogether very quietly, but I won't do so any more. His
'Worship said, if the man owed her money, there was a
way of recevering, it withent going to the house where her
debtor lived. Would she promise to keep away from the
house in future ? She made a promise and was then' dis-
charged with a caution.
ALLEGED, DANGEROUS ASSAULT.—John Gorrie, an officer
of the ship Ardisten, was brought up in custody of officer
86, who said the charge was that he assaulted a woman,
named -Elizabeth Johnston. He said the injured woman
was not able to attend, andhe produced a medical certificate
to that effect. He also stated that the woman was eneicnte,
and the allegation was, that the priSoner had kicked her in the
body. Mr. Black, for the prisoner, contended that, in the
absence of any evidence, his client ought to be discharged;
but his Worship, in the present stage of the proceedings,
said he would not discharge the prisoner. Mr. Black urged
that his Worship should take bail for the prisoner, and he
agreed to do so. The bail having been procured, the man
Man was allowed to stand out on recognisance.
Sndannataao. Hannah Olivia Wright, a , nice girl, of
14 years of age, the daughter of a man who keeps a cook-
shop in Park-lane, and Michael Matthews* Jas. Rushton,
Henry Rushton, and John 'Matthews, small 'boys, were
charged by Mrs. Sane Taylor, a lady who keepS an haber-
dashery shop in Great-Charlotte-street, for stealing some
three dozen of gloves, value over £1 Bs. Mr. Black
appeared for the girl, who seemed to be respectable. It
appeared that the boys were in the habit of' calling at the
shop of the girl's' father to have some refreshment, and it
seemed that the lads had got into a sort' of conspiracy with
the girl, and that they went, some days ago, to the shop of
Mrs. Taylor, where the girl ordered a head-dress, saying
she would call on a certain. day. and pay for it. She called•
on Tuesday, and the lads along with her. and whilst
she was speaking to tbe complainant, the lads managed'
to steal the gloves, 'andsubsequent/y two pairs of the gloves.
were found at the gild'a apartments at her father's. Mr.
Black did all he could. to get the girl out of the case, saying
she was misled by the boys, and if given up to her father
she would be properly taken care of. His Wership, re-
manded all the prisoners, in order to see what could be done
with them, as they were all so young.
PLUNDER is ii*SROB Gm.— Detective-officers Scott and.
Laycock, along with the ordinary officers, brought-up Diana
Holmes, a respectable-looking and well dressed young
woman, on a charge of having stolen goods to the amount
of about £3O from her employer, Mr. Hobson, draper, of
86, Bold-street • and Margaret Holmes, het-mother, with
Elizabeth , Ho'lmes, her sister, who; reside in
Anne-street, Park, were charged with having
received* the; same with a guilty' knowledge. From
it
the evidence of alfr. Kane, pawnbroker,., Mill-stre
appeared that he stopped Elizabeth Holases, offering things
for pledge, and his suspicionswere attracted in consequence
of her having pledged some things previonslx. This led to
an engoiry, and it. seemed that the prisoner "Diana, was an
" improver" in the shop of Mr. Hobson, for about the last
twelve months, and that she had managed to steal out,' c0n-

TITIT ntsreN,ElL
A somewhat lengthened conversation ensued upon, Mr..
Cleaver reading a letter-which he wis about forwarding to,
the poor-law b:rard, in svbich.it was stated, in reply to an
inquiry from that board that Dr. Nevins, the medical officer
of the union, had been enabled to procure an efficient dis-
penser at 20s per week.
Mr. Shaw wished to ask the visiting committee whether
the person Dr. Nevins appointed as dispenser was engaged
by Dr. Nevins specially for that purpose, or whether he was
a pnpil of his ? In other Words, did Dr. Nevins receive the
20s a week himself, and get one of his apprentices to do the
work ?
Mr. Woods, as one 'of the visiting committee, stated that
he 'did not know who the, person' appointed by Dr. Nevins
was, nor did he- see thot it made much matter, 'as Dr.
Nevins received the 20s, and was authorised to appoint
whom he liked, and was .responsible.
Ultimately it was agreed that the 20s a week should be
allowed.
Mr. Hall, master of the hospital, was called in and asked
for an 'explanation regarding his absence from the meeting
of the b-,ard last WedneSday. He said he had received
I letter from his father, in which he wished him to meet him
at Chester. He had seen Mr. Abrahams just before he
went, and that gentleman had stated, that if he got some
officer to read his reports, he did not see any objection to
his dOing so.
A somewhat sarcastic conversation ensued, in the course
of which it appeared that Wednesday, the 4th inst.-, was.
" cup day" at Chester:' Mr. Hall was admonished.

THE ATERTON DISTRICT.
A letter was read from the Poor-law boar.l in reference
to the appointment of a,mcdical offictr for Everton district.
The clerk of the poorzlaw board stated that on looking at
the census reports of 1851, it was found that' the population,
of Everton was then upwards of 25,000. It was quite
probable that the population had vastly increased, and the
boar] invited the attention of the guardians to the question,
whether it would not be desirable to divide the district, and
appoint two medical men.
Mr. Shaw objected to such a division. The duty afire
district was welt performed by one officer, and he did not
see that there was any necessity for a second officer.
Mr. Roberts thought that it was` quite the duty-of the
guardians to take the subject into consideration'. Mr.
Lynch, the medical officer of the district, had more work to
do than any medical man in either Liverpool or •Toikth
parishes. . .
After some conversation, a committee was appointed to
inquire into the subject and report whether they considered
such a. division as suggested by the poor-law 'obUrd was
desirable. The 'committee consists of the guardiaes,of the -
two townships of .Everton and West. Derby.
The contract of Mr. Joseph Holden, of Kirkdal&, for the
plumber's work of the house for the ensuing year, was
accepted. The sum is £35.
Some routine business having been disposed of,..the -
meeting separated.

SMOKE .NITISA..NCES

. ~.... ._. ....., _
BEFORE M 4. HEATH.
Yesterday, a number of persons were summoned- before
the above Magistrate, at the instigation of Mr.Wiguall, the
inspector of smoke nuisances, for having, on various occa-
sions, permitted dense : volumes of black ,smoke to
issue from their respective furnaces, after having
been repeatedly cautioned by that .officer. Mt: -31‘Gowat;
on behalf of the health coMmittee, appeared to conduct the
prosecution. In each of the cases, however, the offending
parties, or their representatives, admitted the oiknee ; it now
having been clearly and definitely decided, that the prevention
of the escape of smoke can be avoided, and that.when it does
occur, it is only through the gross carelessness .of the persons
engaged at the furnaces, the following fines were inflicted,
the cases having been clearly proved by Mr, Wiguall :
