LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.--YESTERDAY,

[Before Mr:- 3fAxsriztri.)
CHARGE OF FURIOUS DRIVING.—John Chadwick ani,
Richard Richards, two respectable cattle dealers, were
charged by. Officer Stockdale (301) with being drunk,.
driving furiously in St. John's-lane, and knocking down
and running over a' man, at half-past nine on Saturday
night. From the evidence of the officer, it appeared
that he was in St. John's-lane at the time mentioned,
when he observed the prisoners driving a shandry at a
furious rate. When nearly opposite Roe-street, the
shandry came in contact with a Dian, who was knocked
down, and the 'wheel ran over hint. Ile was taken to the
Infirmary, and, is not yet out of danger. Mr. Cobb,
who appeared for the prisoners, cross-examined the
officer at some length, and created nlnell amusement by
his knowledge, and the officer's ignorance, of horse
flesh. The animal which it was alleged was being
driven a a furious rate was a little pony,- about some
10a hands high, and the shandry was big enough for a
horse 14 hands high.—Mr. Mansfield said; that there
was no evidence to show that there had beent any furious
driving, nor, that the man had been run over' through
the recklessness or carelessness of the prisoners. He
should, however, fine them ss. each for being drunk:.

A BRUTE.—Michael Hogan, a labourer, Working
under the Corporation, was fined £10; or to be' itn--
prisoned for three months and kept-to hard iabottt; for
art indecent assault upon a little girl only. nine years' of.
age, in Roe-street, on Saturday night. •
A LESSON ON HORSE TA3srma.--James Biggs, a cab--,
driver, was charged with having ill-treated a hcane:
A police-officer said that on Saturday he witnessed the•
prisoner severely beating hi& horse about the head',
The prisoner was drunk at thee time. When asked:
what :he' had to say, he replied' that the horse was al
"libber,' and that he was only endeavouring to cure-
him of that fault.-Mr. Mansfieldiectured the prisoner
on his barbarity, and said that ba! (prisoner) ought to
know that "jilbing" was caused by nervousness and
fear, and that striking the animal' about the head was
sure to increase instead -of abating the disease—as
disease it might be called. Biggs woe ordered to pay
10s. and costs- or to be imprisoned fortwenty-one 'days.
ANOTHER YSSrARBING CAsz.—Louis- Thorn, ..a Ger-,
man, who keeps a beerhouse and shoe-shop in Duke-
street, was charged with stabbing one Shorven;
another Germans and a lodger in the-house of Thorn.
From the evidence it appeared that the-prosecutor re-
turned home about half-past eleven o'er/a-, on Sunday
night. Thorn asked him if he had! seen Sastrax,
another lodger, when Shorven replied, "-Mindi your own
business," at the time calling the 'prisoner some
names. The prosecutor proceeded up sirs- to, bed,. and
the prisoner followed him to demand sorno-explanation
of his conduct. Aiscuffie ensued, and Shorven received
a stab on the leCarm; Mr. Black, whir appeared for
',the prisoner, said that the whale affair watts canoed by
the man Sastrax, so/bdger in the house. - Thorn had a
;very pretty servant;, and Sastrax was al' Bays' running
latter her, and keeping her back frem 'her workr—ia fact,
1" spoiling her." OH the Sunday ii*ht; Sastrax
jkad called the gilt out, and they were- larking

`;:the prisoner went up7to the room in whicht the. prose-

'and a scuffle took place:—Mr. muck deniistliftliat- the
prisoner had used a knife, and alleged that the cut was
inflicted by a portion:of n, basin which had teembroken.

interested witnesses, as- was clearly proved by the ad-
-,nission just made by Mr. Wilson, one of the oWners.
Mr. -Rem said the decision of the bench was, that no
sufficient grounds had been addueed in support of the
deduction, being made from the complainant's wages.
They therefore ordered payment of the amount claimed.
ILLEGALLY DETAINING PROPEUTY.—CUTiII Proroek,
a foreigner, summoned John Davis Pritchard, cooper,. of
Eveiton-Creseent, with detaining five casks, a looking-
glass, and a hat-stand, the property of the complainant.
Mr. Cobb, in the absence of Mr. Black, who was
engaged in the other court, appeared for the complainant,
and Mr. Bremner for'the defendant. It appeared that
the parties had had some busincis transactions together,
and that the defendant now 'refused to give up the
plaintiff's property which he' held. The complainant
having been examined' at great length, Mr. Bremner
addressed the bench on the part of the defendant, en-
deavouring to show that, so far as the hat stand and
the looking-glass were concerned, thet were not com-
plainant's tit all, he haVing gbt possession of them by
false representations ; and that, with reference to the
casks, the complainant was indented to him £2 for his
share of profits. on. the sale, of eight, other casks, and
that he heldthe five casks as a lieu- After a lengthened
legal argument between Mr. Cobt)and Bremner,
the bench ordered that the looking;glass, bat stand,
and casks be given up to the complietitiant Off payment

the decision of the bench, so far as the looking' glass
and hot stand were concerned.
