LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-YESTERDAY.

BEFORE ME. MANSFIELD,

TILE SIIIP DUKE OF WELLINGTON.--The crew of this
ship, eleven in number, . that stood remanded from Wednes-
day, on a charge of having refused' to g 6 in the ship, on an
allegation that the vessel was leaking, and therefore not sea-
worthy, were brought up yesterday. Mr. 3fartindole, one
of Lloyd's surveyors, Was examined, and he proved that the
ship was perfectly seaworthy, and this being all the men
required, they said they would at once return to the ship,
and proceed on the voyage.

THE EXMOITS OF MISS ENBIA J ONES.—

though her exploits were not in ac-eordance with her " party
face," because her actions were very ugly. Police officer
769 said he was pursuing the noiseless tenor of his N
Park-lane the previous afternoon, probably thinking
nothing at all at all, except some blaek-eyed cook maid
about one of the squares, who, in all likelihood,'. was pre-
paring some jellies and ther tit-bits for his supper, when his
attention!was called to Miss Jones, who went along the street
as if walking on the figure of an S. The officer's idea of the

over the organ of destruction, that very nearly made
"destruction "of him altogether. His nose bled profuSely,
and he seemed much hurt, but he refused to Prosecute, as
he was, he said, too glad to get home, and go to bed. Miss
Jones, in true Welsh accents, said, she met a friend from
Lan—, some place spelled with about seven-and-thirty
consonants, and that, being very " droothy," they had some
beer together, and it quite got into her head. (Inspector
Horn, in his own peculiar quiet way, remarked that he
thought the beer must have gone rather into the 'cavity of
her stomach.) She said the old gentleman struck her first
with the stick, and she only defended herself. The police-
man said this was not true, as he saw her very deliberately
knock him down, without rhyme or reason. Mr. Mansfield
said he did not see any reason why old gentlemen with
sticks in the street should be knocked down by Amasoniau
Welsh ladies, who got drunk with their friends. He had
much sympathy for old gentlemen with sticks in the streets,
and, therefore, he would send the prisoner to jail for one
month with hard labour.
BURGLARY IN GLASGOIV

take thi

—Detective officer M'Culloch
brought up a young man named James Johnston, on a
charge of having committed a burglary and extensive rob-
bery in a house in Glasgow. The officer said he received
information of the robbery, and went in search of the pri-
soner, whom he found in a. house in Collingwood-street,
and on telling him the charge, he admitted his guilt. The
officer asked for a warrant to take the prisoner to Glasgow,
which was granted, an the prisoner was transmitted.

NEGLECT- OF A CHILD.—A little girl named Mitchell,
the child of a shoemaker, named William Mitchell, who
lives in Sussex-street, Park, was charged with begging. The
case was this -as Mrs. Crockett, who lives in Knight-
street, Park, said : The girl was in the habit of coming to her
begging, and she generally had a sinull baby in her arms.
On the previous day she saw the baby in a state of filth and
emaciation, and she took it from the girl, washed and gave
it something to eat, and then went to the police-station,
and told ,Mr. Clough. Mr. Clough said when he saw the
child, it was one of the most frightful sights he ever saw.
He made enquiry, and found that the father earned 24s
a week, and that all arose iii consequence of the horrible
drunken habits of the mother. He had the child attended to,
and sent it to a doctor. The doctor who examined the child said,
the emaciation of the child arose from a disease that might
have been set up by want of proper neurishment. The
father of the child came forward and admitted that his
wife was an awful drunkard, but denied that the little
girl in the dock went out to beg, with his knowledge. She
had got into bad company, and he feared other girls had
brought her out to beg. Both children were given up to
the father, and his Worship cautioned him to be particular
in future, and pay proper attention to them, for if any-
thing had happened the baby he would have sent him for
trial for neglect of it.

BEFORE MESSRS. CASTELLAINB AND DIXON

DETAINING AN ALLOTMENT NOTE.—Mary 3.l`Coy, a
grocer and provision dealer, at 46, Gilbert-street, was
summoned by the wife of a sailor, named Ellen Reece,
for detaining an allotment note for £1 2s 6d, monthly
money allowed her by her husband, who is at
sea. Mr. Black was for • the defence, and ad-
mitted that his client had the note, and retained it as
security for a debt. It appeared that the complainant sent
ber sister to Mrs. M'Coy's with the note, and lodged it as
security for goods to the amount of £3 10s. The complain-
ant, a day or two since, appeared for the note, but it was
refused unless she paid the amount. The complainant then
called a policeman and gave her in charge for felony. On
the case going before Mr. Clough, he investigated it, and
refused to book the charge, and then the case was brought
under the shipping act. The complainant, however, offered
to pay 10s a month out of the debt. The magistrates said
it was a hardship on the defendant, but they had no alter-
native, and must order the note to be restored. The com-
plainant could bring an action in the County-court for the
recovery of her debt. Mr. Black said, it was a downright
swindle on the part of the complainant, and what was
worse the giving of his .client into custody for felony. The
bench said, it was a great hardship but the woman had her

remedy iu another

A POLICEMAN CHARGED 'WITH BRlBERY.—Captain.
'earthy, of the ship Susan and Anne, was summoned by

otticer Chambers, 347, for having allowed a naked light on
board, on the •15th instant, in the Nelson Dock. The mate
of the vessel admitted the fact, and stated that, on the 11th
instant, the same officer went on board, and not finding any
one keeping to the watch, he threatened to lay an informa-
tion against the ship, when the mate got 2s. 6d. from the
captain and gave it to the officer, and he did not lay the
information, but told him to be more careful in future.
In corroboration of this statement, the mate of a Welsh sloop
was called, and he stated the same thing. ' Mr. Wybergh
said this was a case that ought to -

()roughly investi-

Mr. -Clough, the
case was referred to the watch committee for investigation.
FINISHING-A WATCH FINISHER.--joshua Shoal, a watch
finisher, summoned John Danson, a watchmaker, for

atter sonic conversation wit

having assaulted him. Mr. Bluck was for the complainant,
and stated the case, and called his client, who stated that
he knew the defendant for a long time, and never had any
difference with him until Saturday night when going home.
They live near each other, and some difference arose, when
the defendant, as alleged by the complainant, knocked him
down, and nearly " finished " bin. Several witnesses were
called for the defence, and their evidence went to show
that the " first blow!' was given by complainant, and of
course thi charge was dismissed.

DEAD CATTLE.-Mr. M'Gowan applied to their Worships
for an order to destroy the carcasses of several dead cattle,
under the following circumstances : He said a vessel
arrived here from Oporto, consigned to Messrs. Verdon and
Cullen, and contained a quantity of cattle. The ship met
with very bad weather and a great number of the beasts
perished. The carcasses were taken to the public slaughter-
house, but only a- small portion was-fit for food, and under
the act of parliament he applied for an order to destroy it.
Mr. Luya was examined, and proved the facts as stated.
A gentleman, from the consignees, said they were, of
course, most anxious to do all that was right in the case.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OP TWO LITTLE GIRLS.
On Tuesday the Rev. Mr. Tatham, the incumbent of St.
Peter's,. Walworth, accompanied by two decent looking
married feniales, attended before Mr. Elliott, at the Lam-
beth police court, to -crave his Worship's assistance in
stimulating the police in their exertions in tracing out two
little girls,, who had disappeared from their homes in a
very mysterious manner. From the statement of the rev.
Pm, it appeared that the last time the little girls
was between the hours of two and three o'clock,
left their homes to attend school,. and were
