LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY..

(Before J. S. MANSFiELD, Esq.)
HOOD-STREET Rouges.—Two of those roughs in
which the district about Queen-square abounds, were
brought up at the instance of Mr. Edward Kelly, butter
merchant, charged with fighting and disorderly conduct.
Mr. Kelly stated that his premises were rendered almost
useless, by the unseemly and disgraceful conduct of the
carters who take their stand about Hood-street. There

were times when a decent person could scarcely pass
safely through the street.—Mr. Mansfield fined the pri-
soners five shillings and costs.
ABOMINABLE CONDUCT.—Bernard M'Filly, an old
man, was brought up on the charge of committing an
indecent assault on two young chileren, a boy and a
girl, the one six and the ether nine years of age. The
charge was proved, and the aged brute sentenced to
twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour.
(Before Messrs. G. HOLT and A. CASTELLAINE.)
William Griffiths was summoned on the charge of
bavinc, exposed for sale 208 lbs. of unwholesome meat
at a,. sslaughter-house, Hood-street, on the 19th Nov.
last. He was fined 10s., and 4s. 6d. costs.
A FAMILY CASE.—This was a case in which a wife
charged her husband, her mother-in-law, and father-in-
law with assault. Mr. Bluck appeared for the com-
plainant, Clara Lorton, while Mr. Cobb appeared for the
defendants, Elizabeth, William, and Thomas Lorton.

The facts of the case seem to be as follows :—The corn-

plainant and her husband had disagreed, and she left
him. Being thus deprived of his helpmate, he had re-
course to his father'and mother for assistance in manag-
ing a public-house which he leteps at the corner of Col-
lingwood-street, Scotland-road. Having been advised
by some friends, the wife., with a true woman's
heart, relented, and returned to her husband

on the evening of the 21st of November last.
The husband was not in when she entered the house,
and his father and mother ordered her out. She would

not go, maintaining she was mistress there. Oh the
return of her husband, however, she was not only told
to go, but actually thrust out in the most unkind and
unmerciful manner. Such is the story according to the
complainant. It was admitted by the defence that she
had been thrust out of the house, but that no unneces-
sary violence had been used, and that it was perfectly
justifiable under the circumstances. The reason alleged
for separation was, tliat she had been guilty of conjugal
infidelity. It was proved by detective-officer Wilson
that he found her on board the ship American Union,
in company with a person named Peter M'Goveran,
and her name standing on the list of passengers as Clara
MtGoVeran. Her box was taken to the police-office,
and several articles belonging to her lawful lord found
in it, which she was carrying off withher. Other wit-
nesses were called, who 'deposed. to her connection with
this peiton. Under these circumstance, Mr. Cobb con-
tended, the treatment she received was no more than she
deserved; while Mr. Bluck held that, so long as she had
not been found guilty of adultery in a court of law, she
had a perfect right to enter the house as she had done.
The magistrates dismissed the case.

(Before W. M. JAMES, Esq., Vice-Chancellor.)
JOHNSON V. GALLAGHER.—In this case the plaintiff,
Mr. Johnson, was a creditor of Mrs. Gallagher, the de-
fendant, and the action was brought with reference to
some furniture, which the plaintiff had supplied to Mrs.
Gallagher, and for which she now refused to pay. From
the affidavits that were read it appeared that in 1856
the plaintiff was informed by Mrs. Gallagher that she
had purchased a house near Chester, and she wished the
plaintiff would come and look at the house, for the
purpose of furnishing it. It should be here mentioned
that this, was not the first occasion on which the plaintiff
tantteadn.t:ajanst
had, served the defendant in a similar capacity. Ile
gran
accordingly went to the house, and received instructions
to supply furniture of rather an expensive kind. The
defendant, however, said she was well able to pay -
for it, and would do so before she went to reside in
the house. The price of the furniture amounted to
£619. 12s. 7d., of which upwards of £2OO was paid ac-
cording to promise, but the balance had never yet been
discharged, although repeated applications had been
made for the same. The present action was therefore,
brought to enable the plaintiff to recover his debt, and
for this purpose it was shown that the defendant
possessed separate personal property, in the shape
of two houses at the bottom of London-road. It
was argued that the defendant did possess these
houses, inasmuch as some
,time ago, when in want of
money she endeavoured to mortgage them, but did
not complete the engagement in consequence of obtain-
ing the money'from another source. The bill of sale
also stated that there was a talking fish in the defen-
dant's possession, for which a considerable sum had been
paid. The prosecution alleged that the bill of sale was.
defective, and that the defendant could, consequently,

pursue a course which would leave the plaintiff without

• EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFOL INVENTIOX.—There is nothing
that housewives complain of With greater truthfulness than
the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuable china,
or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such thin".
cannot be
matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter went
has been obviated by an extraordinary and effective invention,
by Mr. Adshead, of Derby
-Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement
that may be said to heal in a; perfect manlier, all cracks and
breaks in the articles spoken of, and not only in these, but in
marble, alabaster, &c. The benefit Of this article need not be
dwelt on. We have seen some of its`effects at Mt-Alan's, our
neighbour's, an,l the glass that has been cemented by it is
stronger in- that -paft than in any other. The-aitiele- is very
