MP CAL OFFICEItc:— Mr

3ppearea

tii-woraan called upon him that morning, and re quested
to be furnished with a certificate that her husband was ly-
ing7at home ill from the effectt of a broken rib. In ansvter
to the magistrate, Mr. Callan explained that it wag cum:
tomary fee the parish officers tb supply poor patient7with
- which, upon presentation at the garish
is of gaining relief to the holders. Iri
the p stance he suspected fraud, and though he
made wilt the certificate in the usual' form, he retained
possession of it. It was handed to the magistrate, arid
set forth that John Taylor, of Fonterey-street, was lying
ill. Mr. Callen had instituted inquiries in the neighbour-
hood ofthe street named, and the result was, that no such
person 'as the- presumed patient exists. From what was
stated, it transpired that, occasionally, paupers had been
furnished with these medical certificates, although their
abodes had never been visited, an omission which Mr.
Callan said was, unavoidable from the number of his pa-

acquainted with the fact. He replied they had, and that
-they had-given-him permission to engage another assist-
ant, (he already having one,) but as yet• he had been un-
able to procure one. He further stated that 500 of the
number were fever patients. The-woman was put down
-until further inquiries should be made..
IMPORT-ANT TO EMIGRANTS.—At the police-court, on
Tuesday, Mr. George Saul,—perhaps 'better known as
B. M. Byrnes and Co.,—passenger agent, Waterloo-road,
w as summoned by Win. Spence, to show cause why he
re fused a' passage to Quebec, and subsistence money_ on

sly ore; the vessel in which he had engaged having sailed.
Tl w amount claimed by Mr. Spence was £l5, and the
question was-whether Mr. Saul was bound to take charge
of the passengers who had been shipped by Mr. Francis
Ph Ikerton, of Belfast, his agent ; but whose agency he
cot tended had been withdrawn. From the evidence of
Mr.. Pinkerton it appeared that he had acted as agent to
Mr; Saul since.the beginning of March, and that he had
issu ed 240 or 250 tickets on behalf of Mr: Saul since that
timt A list of vessels, including the Intrinsic; in which
the emigrants should have sailed, was furnished to him
by a person in Mr. Saul's office, named Shaw. He had
recei 'ved several letters to say he was to forward no more

passengers, but he had brought 72 by the Sea King after-
ward: ;, all of whom had been received by Mr. Saul and for-
ward( 'd to their-, destination. Mr. Spence,.the complain-
ant, s aid he received a ticket from Mr. Pinkerton, at Bel-
fast, I Or which he paid £l4 lls. 6d. After_he paid his
passag 7e, he came to Liverpool, and presented his ticket at
Mr. S aul's office, where he was told that the ship for that
date h ad gone out. Mr. Saul sent a Mr. Hume with hint
to nre cure a kKleinir. Next day he went to Mr. Saul

again, who told him he (
tars. He had turned some out

fie to be annoyed by beg-
who came from Belfast.

His tic ket was dated beltast, lUtti June, tor tne snip in-
trinsic, to sail on the 16th June for Quebec-. At tliecon-
elusion of the investigation, Mr. Radcliffe addressed the
bench '3ll behalf Mr. Saul, and said if the magistrates
= decided, were prepared to pay the expenses of
the pas' sengem.and forward them by the first opporti,”ity
to Quel iec. Mr-, Rushton commented on the proceeding.
