LIVERPOOL.

BEFORB AIR. DIXON.

WHO Is RIGHT ? David Quinn, a wholesale oyster
dealer, charted his wife with annoying and assaulting him.
It appeared that the pa ties are living separate, and that
the pr soner was allowed 103. a week by her husband, and
it seemed that she was in the habit of getting drunk, and
whilst in this state she was in the habit of abusing her
husband very much. The prisoner said the complainant
had taken her servant-girl, who now occupies her place in
the house, that he had broken her arm and leg in conse-
quence of the women alluded to. He had three properties
in Russell-street, as wall as his business, and he allowed
her only 103. a week. She complained loudly of the
treatment of her husband, which he has loudly denied.
She was o dered to find bail in two sureties of £lO each,
or to be imprisoned for one month.
House or ILL REPUTE.—Jane Faulkner was charged by
Inspector Dtwten with keening a house of ill fame in
Bacon-street. The inspector, another officer, and two
respectable female inhabitants of the street proved the
case. Mr. Black, for the prisoner, endeavoured to show
that the house belonged to another wotran ; but the
evidence failed, and the prisoner was sent for tie!. Two
sureties in £lO were accepted for her appearance.
A Pier zoo 'linen —John Fisher was charged with
having stolen a pint measure from the White Bear Hotel,
Dale-street. The prisoner went into the hall leading to
the bar, a portion of the window of which was open, and he
put his hand round and stole a pewter pint measure, which
was found in his pocket. He was sentenced to one month's
imp -i,:onment.
A NEW WAY TD PAY OLD Drlrrel. Jane Stewart was
charged with having stolen a watch from the house of a
Mrs. E. Cort, Prescott-street. It appeared that the prisor er
owed Mr. Cort RI 103, and was paying it by instalments.
She called on Mrs. Cort the previous day, and asked her
for something on which she could " raise" 103 to pay
the instalment to her husband, The complainant refusel
to give anything for the " raise." saying that she had
done so too much already, unknown to her
husband—in fact it was her things that the prisoner
had been getting far some tine to pay ho. (the complain-
ant's) husband. The prisoner left soon after, and a watch
that was in the room where she was disappeared; there
was no one else to take it. The prisoner was remanded
in order to find the watch.
Suopeterise —Two young women, nailed O'Brien and
Greally, were charged withhaving stolen stays, and pieces of
gingham, the former from the shop of Mr. Fre, Great
Homer-street, the latter from the sleep of Mr. Hathway,
same street. The prisoners were watched by Thompson
and Scaife, of the detective police, and in Rose-hill they were
arrested, with a basket in their possession, and in it the
officers found the property mentioned, which was identified
by the owners as 'tolen from their shops. The prisoners
were sent for trial.
Tits siWINDLER.—Mark Noble, who had been remanded
from last Tuesday, was brought up. The details of this
Case were publi lied a few days ago. Mr. Almond, with
Mr. Reay, of the Guardian Society, were for the prosecution,
and Mr. Hiudley for the prisoner. On the evidence given
already, Mr. Almond contead d that the prisoner should
be committed, on the false representations made by him
about his establishment at Cabbage-hall, and on the faith
of which he had obtained money and harness, his false
representations regaaling Mr. Wirral, of Lower Castle-
street, and the other facts already proved against him.
The prisoner was again remanded to produce further
evidence in the case.

VIOLENT 'ASSAULT. —William Smi.h, the carpenter of a
ship called the Cambridge, was charged with having com-
mitted a violent assault on a young female named Catherine
Simmons. The pfiioner was brought up on remand from
Tuesday last, as the girl was not able to come forward
before yesterday. It appeared that on Monday night week,
the prisoner and another per...on were walking along White-
chapel, when the complainant accosted them, and the
prisoner, without any further provocation strack her a
desperate blow undee the chin, and her tongue coming
be,ween her teeth the tongue was nearly cut in two.
Surgeon Davis of the Northern Dispensary, said he sowed
up the tongue, but she would lose a small portion of it.
The prisoner was defended by Mr. Bluck, who called some
witnesses for the defence, but the facts were not con .
troverted, and the prisoner was fined £5 or two months'
imprisonment.
"Wo it KING A LADY'S POCKET.—TWO fellows, named
John MGregor, and James timith, were brought np by
detective officer Povey, who said he saw them in White-
chapsl, and as they acted very suspiciously, he followed
them through several streets into Lime-street, when be
s,w one of them " working" a lady's pocket, and the
other " covericg" him, so he took them into custody. Tho
prisoners said, if they were let go they would quit the
town, and they were discharged with a caution.
