We shal! doubtless be asked " how will you get
at the dock estate, to tax it at all?" And we shall
be reminded that such taxation would be absurd,
inasmuch as we should thus tax the property of
the burgesses for the relief of the burgesses. We
say as to the first question, only this, that, where
there is a will to act justly, there is a way. With
respect to the second share of the objection, we
say at once—" No ! there is no absurdity in the
case." We are not seeking to tax the property of
the burgesses for the relief of the burgesses. We
are only asking those burgesses to have some little
consideration for the rate-payers of Liverpool, who
are unjustly burthened by the very circumstances
which are enhancing the value of the property of
the other townships, which form with Liverpool
the municipal borough.

That, if we seek to tax them, we compel them to
raise their rates, and thus drive commerce from the
port. The same, however, might he said of the
Liverpool and Manchester Railway. It might be
argued by them—" Gentlemen, if you tax us for
and other local imposts, you will

Yet this railway, and all other railway's, are rated

—At the Police-court, yes-
terday, three young women, Elizabeth Egan, Margaret
Fairclongh, and Elizabeth Shakeshaft, and a boy named
John Cavenagh, were charged with having stolen a small
reticule, or bag, containing money, from a lady in Church-
street. It appears that while the lady was on Saturday
looking into a window in Church-street, her reticule, con-
taining a sovereign and some silver, was snatched from her
and ran off with by a boy. The police, having received
information, an officer went to a cellar in Addison-street,
and found the reticule on the chimney-piece, but emptied
of its contents. Two of the females were in the place,
and the other afterwards went to the Bridewell and con-
fessed she had partaken of the money. The lad had been
before convicted. None of the money was found. The
