charged with brutally treating the complainant, and.
breating in the door of her house. Mr. Cobb prose—
cuted, and examined several witnesses, who deposed to
the rough treatment which the complainant experienced.
at the hands of the prisoners. His worship said such.
eonduct could not for a moment be tolerated, and ordered
the prisoners to find security, two sureties in Z 5 each,
and themselves in £lO, to keep the peace towards the
complainant.

DESERTING TIER MAJESTY'S NAVY.—A flue-looking
man, named Giles, was charged with having received
her Majesty's bounty of £lO, upon entering• the rovat
navy, and afterwards deserting H.M.S. Aboukir. The
ease having been proved against the wisoner, and atsc►
that he had received the £lO beauty for serving in this
navy, his worship remanded him far a week.

COWARDLY - PUOILIST.—A brutish-looking fat
young man, named Charles M'Carthy, was charged by
officer 370, and a Mr. Morris, who keeps; an eating-
house in Byrom-street, with having coma behind their
backs and assaulted them in a most cowardly manner'
by striking them each on the head. Morris was knocked

ASSAULT UPON A RAILWAY OFTICBIL —Thomag
Whittaker, a carpenter and joiner, residing at Huyton„
was charged by James Holden, an officer connected
with the Lime-street railway station, with having
assaulted him on the previous evening, by striking hint
on the mouth. It appeared that the prisoner had
entered one of the carriages of the company, and oat
being called to produce his ticket, he failed to do so.
The prosecutor said he would not permit him to pro—
ceed to linyton, when the prisoner struck him on the
mouth with his fist, and cut his lip. The complainant,
however,. said that the prisoner was in liquor at the
time. The _ prisoner, on being asked what he had to

say, stated that he was drunk, or the offence would not
have been committed. The defendant was fined 10s.,

or to be imprisoned for a fortnight

eet, was charged by officer
suspicious character. Oa

•
Monday evening the officer observed him, at eleven_
o'clock at night, at the rear of gentlemen's residences

in Chatham-street, and one gentleman's house, who is
now in Scotland, was broken open and ransacked from
top to bottom. The officer, knowing his previous cha—
racter, arrested him. A coat was found on the premi—
ses which fitted the prisoner, but he could not say that-
it was the culprit's property. Mr. Cobb defended, and
stated that the prosecution against the prisoner was
unjust and unjustifiable. M'Nulty, no doubt, was
observed in the locality referred to on the night in
question; but because he is found at the back of the
premises in Chatham-street, he would ask the court was
that any reason why he should be deprived of his
liberty, and arrested on suspicion. Mr. Clough : The
officer has discharged his duty in the way be has acted,
and the antecedents of this prisoner would at once

explain his character. Mr. Dixon : What is the piiso-
ner ; is he known here ? Bridewell-keeper : lie has
been six times convicted for stealing clothes, and other
offences. Mr. Dixon : That is quite sufficient. Mr.
Clough : I wish your worship to give us a general
,remand. Remanded accordingly.
A SERIOUS AND DELICATE AFFAIR.-Mr. Yates ad-
dressed the bench, and stated that a summons hart
issued from that court against a man

days. The specific grounds of the charge against
Roberts, he (Mr. Yates) was ready to lay before his
worship, and he now applied for a warrant against him,
to make him amenable. Of course, before applying for
the warrant this course was necessary before it could_
be granted. Mr. Dodge appeared on behalf of Mr.
Roberts, and objected to a warrant being issued. lie
should apply for an extension of service of the summons
against Roberts for a few days more, as he had not
heard from Mr. Roberts, and it would take him two or
three days, at least, to prepare himself for the defence_
One thing, however, he would state, and it was this,
that Mr. oberts was on his way to Liverpool, and he
expected to be in consultation with him very shortly.
Mr. Yates could not, under the circumstances, but press
for the warrant. Mr. Dodge said he would guarantee
Mr. Roberts's appearance. Mr. Dixon : Is it usual to
state the charge against the prisoner in his absence, and,
before personal service of the summons has been effected,
to compel his attendance here ? Mr. Garnett thought
not. It was, however, decided that the summons should.
continue in operation against the prisoner until twelve
o'clock to-morrow, (this day,) and if lie did not then ap-
pear, a warrant should issue for his apprehension.
