A PARLIAMENTARY SCENE.

Creatfallan, the ministers then proposed simply to dlschar,e the
complaint; bat the plumes which they had dropped Pit soon placed
in his own bed •er. He broke out on liberty, and, indeed, on whatever
he pleased, uninterrupted. Rigby sat fee'ing the vice-tre isnreship
slipping from under him. Nugent was not less rensiva —Lord
Strange, though not interested, did not like it. Everybody was too
mach taken up with his own concerns, or t much d nnted, to give
the lea t d,starbance to the Plndalc. Gledville, however, dropped
a few words, which did but by igh'en the flame, Pitt, with less
modesty than ever he showed, pronounced a panegyric on Ifs own
administration, and from th?.nce broke out on the dismission of
officers. This increased the roar from us. Glenville replied, and
very finely, very athetically, very sninalt d. He painted Wilkes and
faction, and, with very litt'e truth, denied the charge of menaces to
offic,ra, At that moment, General A'Court walked up the house—
thiA w' at an impression enc's an incident must make, when passions,
hopes, and tears were all afloat—think, too, how your brother and I,
had we been ungenerous, could have added to these sensations
There was a man not so delicate. Co'cinel Barrel rose—and this
a•tended with a striking circumstance ; Sir Edward. Dearing, one of
our noisy fools, called out " Mr. Barre." The latter seized the
thought with aknirable qu'ck,esi, and sail to the speaker, who, in
pointing to him, had called him Colonel, " I beg your pardon, sir,
yon have pointed to me by a titls i have no right to," and then made
a very artful and pathetic speach on his own services and dismission ;
with nothing bad, but an awkward attempt towards an excuse to
M-. Pitt for:his fNmar behaviour. Lord North, who will not lose his
bellow, though he may lose his place, endeavoured to roar up the
courage of his comrades, bat it would not do.—waTpole's Letters.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-SITURDAT.

LIVERPOOL.

BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.

ARS kITTP:G TIIR POLlCE.—Barney Murphy, a gigantic-
looking young fellow, was charged with having assaulted
police officer 169, in Pownall-Fquare. The officer was
taking a prisoner to Bride well, when he was attacked by
Murphy, who rescued the prisoner and assaulted the
constable. He was fined £2, or to be imprisoned for two
months.

TEE ELEVENTH COsf➢IANDEZNT " TAKa CARZ OF
Yooasm, "—James Grace, a rather elderly person, w s
charged with being drunk and disorderly in Great Howard-
street. The prisoner sail he give himself up to the
police for safe keeping. Mr. Mansfield asked him how
that was ? Prisoner : I had a long way to go home, and
being drunk, I thought I would not be safe, so I took
care of myself by handing myself over to the police
(Laughter.) Mr. Mansfield : Whit mere you afraid of ?
Prisoner: I was afraid of falling into the canal, or into
bad hand•, which would be just as bad. (Laughter.)
Mr. Mansfield : Being so cautious when you were drunk.
why were you not prudent enough to keep sober ?
Prisoner : I can't tell that, sir ; but I considered
I was performing an act of justice to myself
by going to Bridewell for the night ; it was merely justice
to a yecf, that's all. (Laughs -r.) Mr. Mansfield—Well,
go now, and be more cautious in future.

- FORGED FIVE POUND NOTES —For some time past
paragraphs have been g ing the rounds of the papers,
cautioning the public against forged five pound notes, many
of such being in circulation. The f llowing case came
before the court on Saturday, which may throw some
light on the subject, and perhaps lead to the discovery of
the forgers :—James Caddock, described as a bailiff, and
also the keeper of an improper house in Spitalfields, was
brought up by detective officer Smith, on a charge of having
passed a forged five pound note to Mr. M'Grath, a publican
in Whitechapel. Mr. Bluck was fur the prisoner. Smith
said he arres•ed the prisoner on the charge, when he said
he had the note a long time, and that, on going across the
water one day, he showed it to a Mr. Harri'on, who Enid it
was good enough. Cross-examined by Mr. Bluck :He said
he got the noes from a man named Jones. Mr. Bluck:
Weil, and don't you think he did get it so ? Smith: I
can't tell that, but I know I saw Jones tried at the
Chester assizes Mr. Cluck: Think you, I did not
ask you that. Smith : No, sir, but I tell it to you
for information ; and more than that. sir, I know
the prisoner and Jones to be coastant companions, and I
know Jones to be a thief. Mr. Mansfield : What was
Jones tried at Chester for? Smith : for a knock-down
robbery at Birkenhead. I went to the prisoner's wife to
make inquiry about the note, and she said he had had it
for a long time, and that he was a d--fool to pay it away.
Mr. Bluck : This is not evidence, and I object to it. Mr.
M'Grath, stated that on Tuesday week he changed the note
for the prisoner, oho paid him a small debt, and had
some small thing besides. He knew the prisoner as calling
at his shop now and then, and living in Spitalfields. The
prisoner put his name on the note, which witness subse-
quently paid away, and it turned cut to be a forgery. The
note is marked, dated, and numbered as follows—" I W
No. 8.3,997, 13th August, 1857." It bore an excellent
resemble! ce of the signing clerks signature, such as to
deceive almost the best judge It bore the water mark on
the fron.., but faintly on the back, and the paper, on close
inspection, is coarser than the genuine note, yet on the
whole,Bo per cent. of the ordinary public.would not hesitate
to receive it as a good note. No doubt, hundreds of such
notes have been struck off the same plate, and the public
• should make a memorandum of the particulars, so as to
detect such if offered. Mr. WO-nth was cross-examined
by Mr. Bluck, who said he knew the prisoner to live in a
house where young women were kept. Mr. Bluck :. Is
not keeping girls a profitable business ? Witness : I don't
know whether it is or not. Mr. Black : Would he not be
likely to have a five pound note ? Witness : I don't
know. Mr. Mansfield : Is the prisoner a bailiff of the
County Court ? Mr. Clough : No, sir ; he is a bailiff for
collecting rents and the like. There are a lot of low
auctioneers and low landlords who employ such fellows as
this, who are not responsible nor accountable to any
authority under the civil law for their acts, and I think it
is very improper to have such men going into houses to
distrain goods, as they are not accountable for their acts.
Mr. Mansfield said he did not think the case could be dealt
with in that court. It was not shown that the prisoner
got the note under suspicions circumstances from a
suspicious person, and he was the'efore f opinion that the
man must be discharged. Mr. Black said he was prepared
to show that the prisoner could change twenty £5
notes. Mr. Mansfield said he would not place any
confidence in that, as the greateet villains and scoundrels
in England would be able to do the same thing. The
prisoner was discharged.
FALSE CHARGE. SOMETHING FOR THE LAW I ERS.—TWO
young women, named Margaret M'Guinness and Ellen
Conway were charged wi h having stolen a gold watch,
from a person named Samuel Ryan. olcer 546 s lid the
prisoners were given in charge for stealing a gold watch
and guard from Samuel Ryan, but it appeared that they
had not stolen the p operty, but that the man himself left
it in the house of Mr. Owen, publican, Chapel-street,
whilst he was drunk. Where is he now ? Officer :he
would not appear. Mr. Clough: what is he ? A shipping
agent in Regent-road. Mr. Clough : Have you the
watch here ? No sir. Mr. Clough : keep it for the
present. Mr. Mansfield : are these young women known
here? The governor of the bridewell replied they were
not known. Mr. Mansfield : It is most scandalous to have
these youog women locked up all night on such a false
charge. Discharge them.
