DESECRATION OF THE SABBATH.—More than a dozen
boys, some of them very respectable in appearance, but
the majority of them belonging to the lowest class of
society, were brought before Mr. Mansfield, charged by
various police-officers with having been detected on the
previous day in different parts of the town, in the unlawful
practice of " pitch-and toss." In the cases which were
proved to have occurred in the public streets, a fine of ss.
was imposed. The demoralising habit of street gambling
seems to have taken strong root in certain parts of the
town, and calls loudly for stringency on the part of the
police.

BRUTAL ASSAULT.—An athletic sailor, named Henry
Brown, was charged by constable 176 with being drunk
on the previous day, in Williamson-square. The officer
stated that this man's conduct was very violent ; amongst
other outrages, he took a stick from a poor blind man,
and knocked him down with it. Mr. Mansfield regretted
that the blind man was not present, as then he would
have treated the case as one of assault. In the absence
of this evidence, he was fined ss. for being drunk.
A MAN-CATCHER.—A man, named Joseph Corrigan,
was remanded on a charge of having obtained the sum of
193. from a young woman under false pretences. The
latter had come over from Ireland for the purpose of emi
grating to America. She was met by the prisoner, who
represented that he could obtain a passage for her for 19s.
Having secured the money, he decamped.
IRISH MENDICANCY.—A ragged Irishman was charged
with begging on the previous day. An officer took him
into custody ' • and on his person were sd. and a large
quantity of bread. He stated that be was not married,
but it was ascertained that he has a wife and four children.
In reply to a question from the magistrate, he said he
had not been in Liverpool longer than a month. Several
police-officers agreed in stating that the man has pursued
the avocation of a professional beggar in Liverpool for the
last four years. He refused to be cent back to Ireland,
and was, therefore, committed for twenty-one days.

REPItEH ENSIBLE PR ACTlCE.—Aboarding,-housekeeper,
named Edward Waiters, was charged with having stolen a
shipping note, and obtaining money on it. William
Lister, a sailor of colour, stated that, on Saturday, he
shipped on board a vessel, and obtained an advance note.
As he was standing near Whitechapel, holding the note
in his hand, the prisoner came up with another man and
snatched the note away. Subsequently he saw Lister,
and offered to give him a portion of the amount of the note,
alleging that the latter was in his debt. The note, it
appeared, was cashed by Mr. Moorhonse, of Paradise-
street, who wrote Lister's name to it, under the direction
of Walters, who attached his mark as though he was the
person to whom it belonged. Mr. poorhouse said he
. had done this in consequence of 'Walters having told him
never to cash the notes of " his men" without he was
present, and he (Moorhouse) thought that the seaman in
notice. in this instance was at the door. Mr. H. Earle and Mr.
Mr. THONIaON made some observations we• could not Smith, the magistrates, who heard the case, remanded the

of police, received information of an extensive robbery of Barley
cotton from a warehouse ; he, in consequence, proceeded Oats
to one of Mr. Harbord's warehouses in Hoyle-street. Malt .
Room No. 3, of this warehouse was occupied by Messrs. Flour .
Molyneux, Taylor, and C 0.,. as a store for cotton. It 445
was apparent that a great number of bales had been
opened. large " flakes" abstracted, and the bales then re.
sewn. The extent, of the depredation may-be imagined
when it is stated that, in 30 bales, the defiCiency amounted
to 7cwt.. Bates next proceeded'to a marine-store, situated
in the same street, and kept by a man named Henry
O'Haral: here, in a loft, lie found six bales filled with
clean cotton. O'Hara's wife was in charge of the place;
she admitted that the cotton had been boughtilut, when
asked to account for it more particularly; produced two
bills of- a- small quantity of dirty cotton. There was no
entry in the books of any cotton purchased since April ;
in fact, by the books, the purchases since Christmas did
not exceed one cwt., whereas,. the weight of the bales
seized by Bates was at least three cwt. It had been
examined., and was found to sample exactly with the bulk
of the cotton in Mr. Harbord's warehouse. O'Hara's
wife was immediately apprehended on the charge of hav-
ing received the cotton with a guilty knowledge. Bates
asked for a remand in order that Messrs. Molyneux,
Taylor, and Co.'s warehouseman might be examined in
connection with the charge. Mr. Mansfield remanded
the case to Friday next, and refused to take bail for the

Mr. RAE said, he thought the question was, whether
if security was given to the Royal Bank they were bound
to give notice before they effected a sake of the bonds—if
they were not, he apprehended the Covnmissioner3 were
in a difficult position.

The TOWN-CLERK said, the bonds were given to the
Royal Dank, who had a lien on them, and as they refused
to transfer a bond for a small sum to Mr..ll`Cormick,
without the consent of the Commissioners, it was hardly
likely they would dispose of the bonds without giving
