LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

On Wednesday, eight sailors were sent to the Borough
Gaol fur thirty days, for refusing to go to sea after having
been engaged by the captain of the Bounty Hall.
On Thursday, a lad, only about ten years of age, was
committed for trial by Mr. Rushton, for passing base
coin. -He had been convicted of a similar offence at the
spring assizes 1845. _

AN UNFORTUNATE.—On Tuesday, a young female of
the name of Catherine Divine, was brought before Mr.
Rushton, one charge of having been found drunk in the
street. The officer who had booked her for safety, stated
that she had jumped into the Queen's Dock with the in-
tention of destroying herself, and that she bad with. diffi-
culty been rescued from a watery grave. Mr. Rushton
ordered her to be taken care of and sent to the overseer,

STRANGE STABBING CASE. - On Wednesday weer,
Rose Doran, who had quarrelled with her husband at a
public-house in Brick-street, stabbed him in the eye with
a tobacco-pipe. She was brought before Mr. Rushton for
final examination on Wednesday last, arid fined £5, in
default of payment two months imprisonment. She was
also ordered to find bail, or remain in prison three months
further.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY, AND ATTEMPTED RESCUE.—
On Monday evening last, James Delap, an old felon,
though a young man, deliberately walked into the shop of
Mr. Michael Bryan, Whitechapel, took down two pairs of
boots, and made off with them. He was pursued, and
taken into custody, but his comrades made a desperate at-
tempt to rescue him. He was, however, secured, and, on
Tuesday,-committed for trial. His brother, John Delap,
who has before been convicted of assaults, and who, on
this occasion, struck officer 151 in the face, was ordered
to pay a fine of 5, or be imprisoned two Months, and to
find bail, or he further imprisoned two months.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY or WATCHES.-011 SatUrday,
Mary Durel and Margaret M`Gowan were brought up on
a charge of having been found in posSession of twenty-
three silver watches, of the value of £73. They were
stolen from the state-room of the Liverpool/ at present
lying in Waterloo Dock. The police, hearing of the rob-
bery, suspected the prisoner Durel, and went to her
lodgings, .and found her in St. Andrew-street. She re-
quested him to leave, as she did not wish her child to be
awoke ; but the police pressed in, and found twenty-three
watches under a cloak. The watches were removed the
day before to the Liverpool from Messrs. Brown, Shipley, •
and Co.'s office, where they had arrived from Coventry.
The only evidence against M`Govean was that she con-
fessed
to have opened the case herself. Durel was com-
mitted for trial, and .M-Gowan was discharged.
AN IMPUDENT MENDICANT.—On. Saturday, William
Farrell, an Trish pauper, was charged with having used
insulting language to Miss Foster when soliciting alms.
Miss Foster, an interesting young female, who attends the
shop of her sister, Mrs. Joplin, of 45, Tithebarn-street,
said that the prisoner called there the evening before, and
asked for charity. She declined to give him any, where-
upon he said he would give her ten minutes to consider
his request, and if, at the expiration of that time, she re-
fused to relieve him, he would either knock her down or -
break the windows. She immediately called a police-
officer and gave him in charge ; and on searching him at
the Bridewell, bread was found in all his pockets. The
prisoner stated in his defence, that he went to the Parish-
office to solicit a pass to Belfast, and that they refused to
give him one, and that he was therefore compelled to re-
main
in Liverpool, and to beg from door to door. Mr.
Rushton ordered him to be sent to prison for one month.
ROBBERY IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE.--On Wednesday, a
rough-looking fellow, named James Taggart, was charged.
with stealing twenty-three sovereigns from William
Kneale. The complainant, who it appeared had lately
arrived from the Isle of Man, stated that he met the pri-
soner on Tuesday, and, after some conversation, they ad-
journed to a public-house near the Brunswick Dock. The
prisoner sat beside him, and desirous of showing the in-
terest he took in his Manx friend, advised him to take
care of his money, and see that nobody got it from him.
The complainant took every precaution, as. he thought,
but notwithstanding that, he shortly afterwards missed
from his pocket twenty-three sovereigns and a half, and
charged the prisoner with the theft. The prisoner denied
all knowledge of the robbery, hut it appeared he had
shown a quantity of gold to a friend of his, and offered to
lend him £lO, besides giving a sovereign to another party.
—Commited for trial.
IMPORTANT TO AUCTIONEERS.—Mr. David Jones, of
Lord-street, was charged before Mr. Rushton by Mr.
Donaldson. Excise-officer, with selling goods by auction,
not having previously obtained a license tbr that purpose.
He stated that he went, on Monday evening, into the
auction-room of Mr. Jones, and, having 'waited until he
disposed of an article by public auction, demanded from
him his license. In reply, Mr. Jones told him that he
had not got a license, but that his father had; that his
father was not long out of the room, and that he had been
left to carry on the sale in his absence. He (Mr. Donald-
son) then demanded from him the requirement of the
auctioneer's statute, the deposit of £lO. This Mr. Jones
positively refused, and so issue was joined. On hearing
the case, Mr. Rushton decided that as this was the first
case of -the kind 'which had occurred in Liverpool, and
the second in the empire under the act, he would take a
subsequent deposit of the £lO, as being equivalent to a
deposit made on sight to the officer.. The clerk of the
court stated that a deposit to that amount had been al-
ready made. The case was then dismissed.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—TWO *omen, named Catherine
Howard and Mary Ann Jones, were brought before Mr.
Rushton on Friday, on suspicion of being implicated in
an extensive robbery, which is supposed to have been
committed in Manchester. Upon one of them 100 so-
vereigns, ten £5 notes, and 15s. in silver were found, and
upon the other a£s note and £5 hagold and silver. The
notes are numbered consecutively from 15,024 to 16,831.
Several articles of jewellery, including a diamond ring, a
necklace and a brooch, were also found on Howard. In
a house where they were lodging in Comus-street, was
found a bundle containing two rich satin dresses, several
other dress pieces and artieleS of drapery goods. Two
tradesmen's bills were subsequently found, which led to
the disCovery that the prisoners had changed two £5
notes, one at Mr. Gibson's, in Ranelagh-street, and ano-
ther at fir: Kind's, in Church-street. The numbers of
all the notes ranged front 16,520 to 16,534. Mr. Parkin-
son said Jones had been in custody in August last, and
againin October, hut the chargeswere of a trivial character,
andshe was dismissed. Howard was not known. They
were remanded, and a communication was instantly for- _
warded to Mr. Beswick, of the Manchester police.
