a watch, value ten guineas: From the evidence of a
young man, named Joseph Hodson, and Mr, Wells, it
appeared- that at half-past seven on Saturday evening,
the prisoner, in a very deliberate way, went to the win-
dow, with a large stone inchis hand, smashed the- glass,

Mr. Wells stated that the prisoner said his (Mr. ;W.'s)
windoW was the only one in town that he would lite to
break and rob, and that he contemplated doing it the

How TO OBTAIN BOARD Alf-D. LODOINO. (INCLUDING.
COD LIVER OIL) WITHOUT PAYMENT.—MISS SAMAR'
LEE'S ADVEITTURES.—Sarah Lee • a tall well-dressed
female, whose• face was a perfect likeness of the image of
her Majesty - on the farthings of '44, • which are said to
be the best likeness of the Queen. ever yet produced—was
brought up by officer Coldwell, 482,-. on charges of having
obtained board and lodging from a Mrs. John Potter,
35, Ashton-street, and a Mr. John Smith, of Albert-street,
Edge-hill, by false:representations. Mr. Bluck defended.

Mrs". Potter (who seemed very indignant at being "don

as shq.called it) stated that about a .fortnight ago the
prisoner came to her house, and stated that she was Mrs.
Lee, the widow of the Rev. Mr. Lee, of Manchester, who
was nephew to the Bishop of Manchester. She engaged
board and lodging in her house, saying she had come
down here about some business, and that her guardians
would be down very soon, and would bring her things,
and would pay for all she might have; that Mr.Waldron,
a great merchant of Redcross-street, was her particular
friend, and would see all paid. Witness gave her all she
required—including cod liver oil—up to Saturday last,
but not seeing the prisoner's "guardians" coming from
Manchester, nor her friend Mr.Waldron, the great mer-
chant of Redcross-street, nor anything else likely to repay
her for the fortnight's board, lodging, and_ cod. liver oil,

expressed some indignation at such a rude demand, hint-

ing that that was not the proper way to treat the niece of
the Bishop. of Manchester, but sooner than hare herself
subject to such an insult again, she would go at once to
her Mend Mr.'\Valdron, the great merchant in Redcross-
street, get the money, pay her bill, and quit the house at

whether she got the money from her friend or not, the
only portion of the promise she kept was that of quitting
the house, for Mrs. Potter did not behold the face of the
niece of the Bishop of Manchester (the woman who looks
like the head of Queen Victoria in the farthings) after
that, until she gazed on it in the dock that morning. She
had Previously told a great many fine tales (cock and
bull stories) to the soft Mrs. Potter about £4,000 a year,
trifling bits of carriages (Mrs. P., °of course, was to have
one, with a couple of horses, couple of footmen, and a
variety of other things too numerous to mention), and the
like, bat, added Mrs. Potter, with an indignant smile,
'twas all false—lies from beginning to cbd. -Mr. Bluck :
And you got nothing ? Airs. Potter : No, not my pay-
ment even.: Mr. Bluck : And what was she to pay you
for board and lodging ? Fourteen shillings a week; she
was to board with me, reside with me, and enter into the
privacy of all my household and other affairs. Mr. Bluck :
Confiding Mrs. Potter, and' what did you do for her?
Why, I attended on her hand and foot. Mr. Bluck : Poor
woman, and she told you she was niece to the Bishop of
Manchester ? No, she said she was married to the Rev.
Mr. Lee, who was nephew to the Bishop of Manchester.
I did not ask her for any money until last Saturday.
And what did she say ? She said Monday was her
Ar day! when her guardians would pay, but she
got so. indignant, that she went off to Mr. Waldron,
her friend in Redcross-street, to get the money, but she
forgot to come back, Oh, she's a. bad lot ! John Smith,
of Albertstreet, Edge-hill, said the prisoner induced
him, on Saturday, to take her imas a boarder and lodger,
and told him that she had lodged at the hOuse of the last
witness, and that Dr. Bickersteth was in attendance on
her at a guinea a visit. Tie gave her board and lodging
from Saturday up to this (Mhaday) morning, but she took
him in. Mr. Duck : Why -man it was you who took
her in—(laughter)--and not satisfied with that, you took
her into the Station-house iu the.. bargain. (Renewed
laughter.) I submit, sir, (to the court,) that there is no
case at all against. her, as regards the innocent Mrs.
Potter. Mr. Mansfield : Mrs. Potter, did she bring any
luggage to your house? Mrs. Potter : Not a pins-worth, ex-
cept what is on her at this moment. Mr. Bluck said there
was not the least pity for Mrs. Potter; she deserved all
she got. The fact was she had taken in this poor
innocent young lady altogether—(great laughter) —with
the notion of getting something handsome—one of the
carriages, perhaps, with a. pull at the £4,000 a year.
(Laughter.) Mrs. Potter : It was all lies. Mr. Bluck :
I think she served you, quite right. He asked Mr.
Smith what the prisoner had said to him, and he replied
that she said one of her guardians had made a present of
a beautiful dress and £5- to Mrs. Potter for her attention.
Mr. Bluck: Then you thosight you had a good "take in"
in her ? The fact is, sir, they have taken up my client
too soon. If they had waited until to-morrow, a person
Would . be down here from Manchester to pay all.
To Mr. Smith : Did she not want to go out of your
house on Saturday for her cod liver oil ? She said she
had left her cod liver oil at Mrs. Potter's, and said she
would go for it., It was raining at the time, and I said
she had better not go for it, and when I went for it this
morning, I found herself mid her cod liver oil both
swindles. (Laughter.) - Mr. Mansfield : Is the prisoner
known here ? Bridewell-keeper : She was here in Octo-
ber 1857 for stealing flour, she was sent to the County
Magistrates' Court, and there discharged. Mr. Bluck :
Well, that shows she was innocent—what a memory you
have. J3ridewell-keeper : Very good records we have
here Mr. Black : What name was she under then?
The same as now. Mr. Bluck : That has " done" her. .
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

that in the first place the police had swore wrongly -the
hour was only ten minutes past eight,. and as for furious
driving, if the officers had sworn the other way, namely,
that he was driving much too slowly, they would haVe cor-

the first one was not inclined to go; and if inclined to
go, it could not get on, for the street was crowded at the

WAGES CASE. - Charles Wells, late the chief engineer
of the screw-steamer Tiber, summoned Messrs. Bibby for
X, 10, a month's wages. Mr. Cobb was for the complainant_
It appeared that some time since the plaintiff was chief
engineer in the Tiber, but lately he was transferred to and-
signed articles to go in the Corinthian, but when he went
there just as the vessel was about to sail, another person
was mit in his place, and he was sent back to the Tiber_
He refused to go in her, in as much as he alleged she-
was short handed, and he alleged that was the reason he
got himself transferred to the Corinthian. After some
diseussionr a sum of #:,7 lOs and costs were awarded to
the plaintiff.

FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM.
The annual meetinb of the friends of this institution
was held at the Asylinn yesterday, Henry Glazebrook,
jtm.,.Esq., president, occupied the chair. There were
alio present—the Rev. T. B. Banner, Messrs. Thomas
Voore, IL Lomas, Flarmood Banner, W. H. Preston,
R. A. Payne, Kendall, Moss, Bailey, and Buxton, besides
a number of ladies.

IThrmood Banner, Esq., treasurer, read the report for
the past year.

The:treasurer's account showed a halanee in favour of
the institution of £371 14g. sd.

REPOJIT

" The year just nasscd was entered. upon not without
apprehension that the public charities of Liverpool,
would be .seriously prejudiced by the shock which had.
visited the commercial world, and under which all classes
were then suffering. Ahrnst every one appeared affected

"In these welcome benefactions the Orphau Asylums
participated. Besides these, other donations and the
usual sources of income, together with the sum on hand
from 1857, have ffilly met the expenditure ; and again,
therefore, does the-account terminate with a balance in
favour of the institution.

"Under these circumstances the committee are most
thankful to be able to invest the, whole of the legacies;
thereby fulfilling, no doubt, the- dying wish of the
benevolent bequeaeuers, that the interest derived from
the investment of their bequests would perpetuate the
subscriptions which 7, they had annually bestowed' while

" The committee refer with renewed pleasure to the
state of the institution, and the system of economy
adopted, combined with, every requisite comfort- One
extra expense has necessarily been incurred the last
year in the painting of the entire building inside and
out. Bat including that and all other outgoings of every
description, the cost per head was only about £9: There
are 136 children in the institution, cheerful and happy,,
and every one of them blessed with health. ,To the
good management of Miss Sanders, the . active co-
operation of Miss Fisher and sub-teachers, and the un-
remitting exertions of all, may be attributed the satis-

under the age of seven years. For younger brothers
and sisters with equal, if not greater claims, because
more helpless, there has hithertobeen no refuge but
the workhouse; no alternative but pauperism, however
industrious and respectable their parents may have
been. The remedy proposed, and already in. action, is
an ' Infant Orphan Asylum.' A building similar to
this, with similar accommodation; is intended, It is
intended also to adopt similar rules, and the same prin-
ciples, thus forming a preparatory training- for any of
the other institutions as the children become, eligible
by the requisite age. Until the building is ready, the
Infant Orphan Asylum will be carried on at 274, Windsor-
terrace, Upper Parliament-street, where there axe now
17 interesting children, boys and girls, from three to six
years of age. It has been essentially aided by the sister
hands of this asylum working hard and cheerfully in the
making of clothes, bedding, &c., and especially by the
advice and assistance of Miss Sanders.

." Truly may these and all other- orphan voices chant
their hymns of thanksgiving to Almighty God, and echo
the assuring words of David, When my father and my
mother forsake me, the Lord will:take me up.' "
The following legacies were received during 1858:
Elizabeth Twentyman (deceased), £B3 8s 6d; William
Tyrer, £5O; Mr. Dyson, £B3 6s 8d ; George Maxwell,
£5O; A gentleman, £75; Sir John Gladstone, Bart.,.
£52 lOs ; Thomas Walkinson, £250; Israel Barned,
£9O; Egbert Dircks, £5O; Lewin Mozley. £s2'; John
Moss, £5O ; Total, £859.5s 2d.

The President moved the adoption• of the report, which
ssed unanimously.

Mr. Payne moved, " That the thanks of the meeting be
given to the clergy who have preached during- the past
year on behalf of the Asylum." The president had said
that that mole of collecting money was the most leitimate,.
and, he thought, also the most productive. Tie' had seen
by the report that £ll2 had been collected by clergymen.
in their congregations for the- asylum, and he thought
that the best thanks of the meeting were due to them:
He had great, pleasure, therefore,, in moving the
resolution.

The motion was seconded, and passed. •
Mr. Buxton moved, that the thanks of the meeting
should be given to the various ladies and gentlemen wlice
had taken an interest in the•asylum, and acted -as mem-
bers of the committee.
The motion having been, carried, _

The President replied on behalf of thaliarties men-

Mr. Banner said, in reply to the last part of the resolu-
tion, which that meeting had so kindly passed, he would be
most happy to continue his services so long as God would
give him health. He then moved a committee (or then

of the committee. In the first place, Mrs. Johnstone, of
the ladies' committee, and next, Mr. Henry Brown, who,
had taken such an interest in the institution. In the loss
of these, they had lost two of the most valuable members
of the committee which they had ever had. He knew
that some of them would soon follow, but he
was convinced that God was the peotector
of these institutions, and he believed they were
so firmly fixed on the hearts and sympathies of the people
of Liverpool, that they might go to their graves fully
