LIVERPOOL BURIAL BOARD.

A meeting of this board was held yesterday forenoon,
at the Parish-offices, Brownlow-WI. Mr. Shaw presided.
The other members present were, Messes. Thornely,
Corbally, and Jackson.

THE NECROPOLIS.
Mr. Harvey, clerk, reported a Meeting of Mr. Woodruff
and himself with Mr. Lace, Mr. Hull and Mr. 141.Gowan,
with reference to taking the management of the
Necropolis. It appeared from the statements of Mr. Lace,
at that interview that the prurietors never intended
to offer the management of the Necropolis to the. Liver-
pool Burial Board, but that their offer was simply to
leave future disposal of the Necropolis to the
arbitration of the Central Burial Board—a body which
they supposed to exist, whilst in reality there was no
such body. The committee of investigation understood
that the Liverpool Burial Board yeas meant, and, under that
impression, had communicated the offer to this board.

After some conversation, it was agreed that the clerk
should write, in answer to Messrs. Fletcher and Hull's
application, expressing the willingness of the board to
entertain any offer that might hereafter be made in a com-
plete shape.

Mr. Jackson reported that the vestry clerk had not
yet completed his report respecting iValtou Cemetery.
The Clerk repor:ed that he had, subject to the approval
of the board, appointed a meeting bstween Mr. Holland
and a deputation of ihe board for one o'cl ck to-day.
A deputation was appAuted accordingly.
Mr. Jackson postponed his notice of motion, as to the
surveyor, to the next meeting.
It was resolved that the board regularly meet at eleven
a.m., in future, on the first Monday in every month.
The meeting was then adjourned until Monday next.

CONCEALMENT OF BIRfFI.-At the Manchester police
court, on Saturday, Ellen Kinder, a domestic servant, was
charged with concealment of birth under very extraordinary
circumstances. It appears that she was engaged about
three weeks ago by Mrs. Rook, of 41, Elizabeth-street,
Cheetham, and that she entered Mrs. Rook's service as
kitchen maid on Thursday week. On the following morn-
ing the nurse felt a very bad smell in the prisoner's room,
and her suspicions as to the cause of it were excited by
seeing an envelope with blood on it. In the forenoon the
smell got worse, and in the afternoon nurse told her
mistress about it, who said that perhaps it proceeded from
vermin. On the same afternoon Mrs. Rook went out, and
shortly before six the nurse went to the nursery, leaving the
prisoner in the kitchen. The prisoner went to up her own
room and then back to the kitchen, and when the
nurse came down about half,past six she found a slow fire
in the grate, heard a bristling and crackling under the
oven, and saw the kitchen and front doors open. She
remonstrated with the prisoner about the front door being
open, and shut it. On leaving the kitchen shortly after.to
go into the sitting room, the front door was again opened,
and she again shut it, without sayieg anything to the
prisoner. Nurse then went to the nursery for a little,
and on coming back to the kitchen she found a large fire in
the grate, and also under the oven—a fire there being very
unusual at that time of the evening, when there was
nnthing to bake. She felt also the same smell she had
perceived in the prisoner's room in the morning, On
Saturday the smell was not quite so bad. On Sunday,
in consequence of information Mrs. Rook received,
the prisoner's boxes were examined, and one bore
every indica'ion of having been the receptacle of
the remains of a child, The state and appearance of the
prisoner's clothes, also, showed that she had been recently
delivered. On Monday a search was made under the oven
and a number of bones were found, In consequence oi
these discoveries, information was given to the police, to
whom the bones were given up, and also the prisoner's
boxes, in one of which was a razor marked with blood
but the prisoner had left on the Sunday, and, her where-
abouts being unknown, she was not taken into custody till
Friday. The medical officer for the 13 division stated that
he had not had the opportunity of completing his exami-
nation of.the prisoner, but his impression was that she had
been recently delivered, but not within fourteen days. The
case was remanded till Thursday, to complete the evi-
dip*

CAUTION TO Boys.—Several boys were fined for throwing
stones in the s'reets. {The nuisance and danger of stone
throwing in the streets is ' very great, and should be
eff-ictually put down by the polide
THE KNIFE.—A young fellow, named William Brown,
was charged with having stabbed a young man named
Edward Costello. There were some boys in dispite in
Limel:ilr-lane, about a ball, when the prosecutor interLred,
and then the prisoner ran up and stabbed him in the arm,
and, according to the eVidenc.- of Mr. Grimes, surgeon of
;he Noriharn Hospital, the wound was an inch and three
quarters long, very deep, and much hemorrhage. The
prisoner was sent for trial.

ti fated Welshman, named Jetia Williams. The stare?, ti`ld
by -Mr. Williams showed that he was more " verdant"ehan.
one of his own country leeks, and on cross-eXamindtion by
Slr. Bluck, who defended the prisoners, the witness ex-
hibited much simplicity, .at the-_ same. time that his
organ of, atneXyeness -was by no means defective ;
and certainly, although he was uncommonly "green" in
general, he seemed to have a good pore 'pion of the value
of money. The ingenuity of Mr. Block succeeded in getting
Power discharged, but the eyitlesce against Bright was
conclusive, as•tee prosecutes's watchguard was foand on
her, end she was sent for trial. e •
PLUNDER BY A SEaVANT._,,-A _young female, named
Mary Keane, was brought .up by a Dublin officer, on a
charge of having robbed her mistress. Mrs. Scott, the
wife of a baker in Paradise street, said, the prisoner lived
with her as servant,: and on Weleesday she absconded,
taking" with 'her. seyerel .silk dresses, a watch, two gold
rings, and ether things, to the value of £l2 with her. A
telegraph message was sent to Dublin, and the officer
arrested her when she stepped fri:m the beat at the North
wall, in that city, and got the whole of the property
in her possession. See was sent for trial.
A " Gaeaseeess" CAsne-eileary .Banks, described as the
second cook of the royal: mail steamer Arabia, was brought
up on a charge of having stolen a cask c retaining 181bs of
fat, the property of Messrs. M'lver. From the evidence
of the butcher on board the Ship, it'. appeared that the
•risoner geve him the fat, and' told 'him to give it to a
person to take to- his evifee and, he. did so, and that person
was stopped on-leaving the ship with it. -Mr. Bluck, for
the prisonee, cross-examined the witness, and he said, the
course, in many companies, wait, to allow the fat to the cooks.
The prisoner (saidstlic witness) might. be under the im-
pression that he was entitled to the fat, except that there
had been an order against it, acd all knew that order.
Mr. Randle; the, ehief steward of-the ship, stated chat
there were strict orders that Udneof fhe'parties connected
with the ship should remcete the fat ; ho told the caries,
&c., several times that it was not be removed on any
count, and: the prisoner ofteneheard-hien'Otte such orders.
In redly to Mr. duck, the witness said there never was
any liberty given to any of the stewards, butchers, cooks,
&c., to remove the fat ; the chief cook got, a gratuity evAnr
voyage in lieu of the fat., Some other witnesses were ex-
amined; and. then Mr. Gluck made an able speech on be-
half of his client, and contended that he' was under a &is_
taken impression in taking,-;the fat. The prisoner was
seat ,to jail for seven days.
TER EX-PUBLICAN PICKPOCKET CASE. Patrick
Mq-euinness and Peter Meehan, who were remandtd on a
charge of having picked the pocket of a lady in Lime-street,
were brought up. Mr. Bluck .eefended the prisoners. A
full report of this case appeared in our paper of yesterday,
and, in addition, a boy from the hat shop in John's-lane
was examined, but the only thing he proved was, that the
parties went into the shop to purchase a hat. Mr. Muck
said his clients had instructed hilts to call witnesses, but
they were like '' spiri s fr nu the vasty deep"---they did
not answer when esl!ed. He made an able speech for the
prihKers, and contended that there was a mistake as to
their ideetification. His worship said the case was very
deer, and he ordered tee
•prisoners to be sent to gaol for
three months each. Mr. Bluck said that several respectable
pub! cans had called on him, and stated that the prisoner
M(Guinness was not a member of that body. He (Mr.
Bruck) when he made the statement on Saturday, was
instructed to say so, and he was under the impression that
such was the feet. Ho bad made inquiry on the point,
and found that since the 'sth March, 1856, M‘Grinness
was not a publican ; and he had also ascertained that the
wife of M‘Guinness was still conducting the business of
the Californian Vaults, Price-street. He trusted that this
explanation would satisfy the vintner's society, many of
that respectable body of whom he then saw in court,
and who had come so hear the result of the ease.
In reference to this case, Mr. Chew, ore of the inspectors,
made the following statement. The prisoner M`Grienuess,
he said, is not now the owner of the Californian Vaults,
Price-street. He was the roamer and the licensed person
for the house early in 1856, but since that time the license
has been transferred to Mr. William Vernon Kerr, hut the
wife of the prisoner conducts the house stilt. The prisoner
was separated from her, and had been in gaol for six
months for having assaulted her.
