conduct on her part in the streets, as she used to walk
quietly and was never guilty of any disorderly conduct or
bad language, that he heard. His Worship said, as long
41,a girl conducted herself with decency on the streets,
she was entitled to the same protection as the most
respectable woman • in Liverpool. He thought this a
cowardly act on the part of the prisoners, and he would
therefore inflict the highest riniehnicilt be could, namely,
six months imprisonment, with hard labour.
ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF A POLICEMAN. —Mr. Cobb, 'before
the Court rose, applied to his Worship under the following
circumstances. He said, in the course of the morning a
man named Edward Malley, had been brought up before
his -Worship on a charge of being 'a deserter from the
14th regiment of foot. There being no one to prosecute,
he was discharged. The facts 'of the case were these.
Malley is a soldier belonging to the 14 th foot, DOW
lyingin Dublin. He had au action in the Liverpool County
Coat, against a person who owed him money. The
case was fixed for hearing on yesterday morning, and ell
Tuesday night the man arrived here from Dublin, having
obtained leave and a pass from the commanding-officer to
attend here. Some how, on his passage from Dublin, he
lost the pass, and on his arrival here he fell in with police-
officer Robert 'Woodruff, No. 238, who, because he bad not
a pass, took him up as a deserter. He was in his regimental
clothes, and was locked up all night. When brought before
Mr. Mansfield, yesterday morning, the policeman did not
appear, and the man havitg told the above story, which
was perfectly true, he was, in the absence of the constable
or any other accuser, discharged. He at once went
to the County Court, where he had Mr. Cobb engaged
for him to manage his case, but he was only
there a few moments, when the same policeman entered the
court and dragged him out, taking him. to the main bride-
well, where he again charged him as a deserter. Mr. Cobb
then instantly went to the bridewell, and cautioned the
keeper not to take the charge, and then entered the court
and told Mr. Mansfield the whole case, and applied to have
the man discharged. His Worship said he never heard of
such an outrage on the part of a policeman. He strongly
advised the bridewell keeper not to take the charge. It
was great contempt of the County Court to take the man
out of it, and Mr. Blair, the j udge, had the power of punish-
ing the policeman. If there was even a charge
against him, he was protected whilst attending on the
court, and the constable should have waited at least until
the man came out of it. The poor fellow might perhaps
lose his case, in consequence ssf the illegal conduct of the
policeman, who, in the first instance, did not appear to
sustain the original charge, and then again behaved most
improperly to arrest him a second time, particularly to take
him out of a emwt. He ordered his instant.discharge.
THE PRETTY GIRLS OF SALTNEY-STREET. Mrs. Mary
Lewis summoned Mrs. Eliza Earle, for having delapidatea
her head, and "bent" some sixteen squares of glass in the
windows of her domicile. The parties are " citizens of Salt-
ney-street," and the case seemed to be as follows :—The
complainant heard that the defendant had invented a bit of
• romance, which was accompanied by a scenic description of
a certain apartment in Saltney-street, which was said to
contain persons who formed a tableau, and this not agree-
ing with the notions of propriety entertained by Mrs.
Lewis, she, with other friends of morality, proceeded to the
house of Mrs. Earle, with a certain piece of iron, to wit a
poker, but what use they intended. to make of it was not
quite clear; but, from the subsequent use made of it, there
was no doubt it was not intended for its original use, namely -
stirring up the fire. If it were not so used, it was just to
fully as "hot work." Mrs. Earle seeing the
probable use that it would be put to, took time
by the forelock, and ".walloped" the whole "box and dice "
()airs. Lewis and her friends along the street with the
same poker; the head of the latter coming in now and
then for a "bat," and when tired of this, she wreaked her
vengeance on the windows. The latter, however, did not
complain, but Mrs. Lewis said her head and the cold iron
did not agree, and in order to compensate her for her " feel-
ings," His Worship ordered the defendant to pay £1 and
costs for the assault.

BEFORE MESSRS• HEATH AND SANDS.

ASSAULT.—Margaret Riby, the keeper of a "house;'
summoned Mark Robinson for having assaulted her. Mr.
Bluck defended. It appeared that the defendant does
not keep a "house," but that he is "kept"
in one, at the expense and charges of other people, for, as
Lord Byrom says, some secret favour unexpressed. Mrs.
Riby sent her daughter out with a shilling to purchase
some " blue ruin," and Mr. Robinson thinking it would
" ruin" the girl, and being of a philanthropic disposition, he
conceived the idea of transferring the "ruin" to himself,
by taking the shillinc, from the girl, and beating her by way
of compensation. Mrs. Riby, not comprehending the value
of Mr. Mark Robinson's attentions and kindly disposition,
told him so in language more plain than polite ; and Mr.
Mark Robinson, to show his appreciation of the im-
politeness of the lad:-, gave her a tap over one
of her " daylights," as he called her eye, and
shut it up for a fortnight or three weeks to come.
Several "ladies and gentlemen," who dwelt in the " houses"
alluded to, were examined pro et con, and the magistrates
at last, after a great deal of enlightenment on the point of
the "houses," doomed Mr. Mark Robinson.to pay a penalty
of sixty pence, which he " forked out" with great indig-
nation, and " lamossed" from the, court in a style that
would have astonished Charley" Kean.
