LIVERPOOL.
(MORE MR. RATIIBONE.)
Tits DODGER.—Virl!Earn Grayson, was brought up on
remand. The details of the charge against this tellow
appeared in our paper yesterday. Mr. Biuek now ap-
peared for the prisoner. In addition to the evidence
already given, a decent-looking female named Elizabeth
Sankey, who said she leered at present in Aehgrove, Waver-
tree ; in December last she met the prisoner in the
street, and he asked her if she knew any one whom she
would recommend to clean offices in Lime-street station ?
After some conversation, she thought the offer ma 'e by tie
prisoner such an advantageous one, that she was induced to
go to the offices with him. He put his hand on a door
and said, " those are the offices, and that's the door
you will enter by." I was to get 12s a week, and was to be
at work at eight o'clock in the morning, and to continue
up to three or four. He said I must give him 2s ae a
deposit for coming in the morning. She thought the 124.
a week such a help to hex', and as he told her he was
managing engineer at the station, she believed him. She
had only 2s. 6d., and she gate it to him. He then said,
" Well, 1 suppose you are rather a poor woman." She re-
plied she was, and he then said, "Here is a sovereign for
yon, and you can pay me at a shilling a week,"
and she agreed of course. He told her to remain
there for some time, and she did wait a great while
but ha did not return. She began to suspect all was
not right, and she went to a men in the street who sold
oranges, and he told her the coin was a bad one, and that
she was imposed on. She never saw the man after unril
she now saw him in the dock, but she would knew him in
a hundred years. The prisoner was again remanded, in
order to procure further evidence. Mr. Black applied to
hare him admitted to bail, but it was refused.
OPENING TES TIATCEILS.—JOhtI M'Carthy and Michael
Conway were brought up on remand, on a charge of having
broken open the hatches of the ship Autilia. A. report of
the case appeared in yesterday's paper. Mr. G >odere
appeared for the prisoner Conway, and WAS proceeding to
offer some observations, when his worship requested
him to desist until he heard the case, as he had not
heard it before. Mr. Geodere begged to say that it was
not out of any disrespect to the court that he offered the
observations. Mr. Rathbote : I hope it is not, and I
trust you will prove it by your fucute conduct. The
staveadore was called, and he said he had given the
prisoners orders to prepare things for the discharging of
the vessel, but he did not give them any orders to remove
the hatches. Mr. Goodere made a speech for his client,
and after somp discussion Mr. Eathbone said it was a case
of very strong suspicion, but would give the prisoners the
benefit of the doubt, and Conway was entitled to some
consideration in consequence of the indiseredon shown on
his behalf in the defence. He then cautioned the prisoners
and discharged them.
OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.-11ASOI1
Barre, late a clerk at Messrs. Twist and Bell's, engineers,
of Tabley-street, was brought up by detective officer Horn,
charged with having cbtained .P.-50 from Messrs.Twigge and
Crossfield, Rainferd-square. by false representations. It
appeared that on Monday the prisoner was absent from his
business, and this lei to some inquiry, when it we- found
that on the 16th instant he had received from 3le-osrs.
Twigge the sum of £5O, by the following representation.
He went to the house in question, and stated that in cen-
sequence of a failure up the country, his firm were sh rrt of
so much money, and begged that Messrs. Twlge
would let them have so much for a short time. tie
got the money, and gave a receipt for it, and
then went and engaged a passage to Australia
in the ship Dragoon, on which vessel he was
arrested by Horn, who got a ticket with him, he
having paid £2O for his passage. The prisoner said he
lost some money in the first instance, and he borrowed the
money in question in order to make it up, but he was
tempted to go to Australia, as he had a letter from his
brother-in-law, whom he said was gsvernor of Aukland,
to go out there, and he intended to repay the cash when
he got out to the colony. He was sent for trial.

Johnson-street, who detained the person, and sent for
the police. It turned out that the prisoner had sold the
cape for lls. to a Jew in Ben Johnson-street, and then
it was seat to pawn. The prisoner in her defence said it
had been given her to sell by a strangd woman. Sir E.
