GIVIN.G A FALSE DRAUGHT OF WATER.-At the
Police-court, on Friday, John Hooper, mate of the Caro-
line, was mulcted in the penalty of £5, for having given
a false draught of water to the master of the Coburg
Dock.—Mr. Rushton, in adjudicating, said he had some
idonbts whether he was discharging his duty if .he did not
nflict the full penalty of £2O ; for if such things were
allowed, property to an enormous extent might be de-
stroyed.

night of Thursday, or early on the morning of Friday last,

silver
Amongst the articles taken were a watch, .a gold
guard chain, a black satin vest, an ivory rule, anew black
coat and trousers, a pair of Wellington boots, and money
to the amount of Xi in notes and silver. The thieves
.are
suposed to be a man and woman of respectable exterior,
who slept at the house, and who decamped at an early
hour in the morning.
EMBEZZLEMENT.—On Thursday, at the Police Court,
Patrick Hefron was brought up, charged by David Jones,
ginger-beer manufacturer, with having received money
from various parties on his account, and not handing it
over ; be has also made false entries in the collecting.
12ook• The prisoner was in the employ of Jones, and on
'the, 20th April last he received from a person named Raf-
iZ: the sum of £l, and only paid over Ils. Several
4;
r instances were also adduced of a similar kind, and
07.- cow-P, •
uunant stated that he had been defrauded by the
"Iner to the amount of £7 or ZS. He was committed
or trial at the sessions.
ttitisterrazAn COMMISSIONERS.—On Tuesday evening
a
special meeting of the Commissioners of Birkenhead
siras_ ,eo.llvened at the Town-hall, for the purpose of passing
tiuurYaccounts. The chair was occupied by J. D. Case,
Zack The chairman said, that when the adjournment
too"place on that day fortnight, it was expected the law-
Clerk would have returned from London, and that he
il:„"Id have been present on tbat occasion. As he was,
,-wever. detained in London on important business, the
oest would be to adjourn the meeting for a week;
hY that time, be would certainly be back, and then the
!ecounts alreadf prepared would be submitted to him, and
rid before the meeting. The chairman then read a letter
rc're Mr, Peter Howard, one of the commissioners, in
Which that gentleman, being about to leave the neighbour-
-4"1 for some years, tendered his resignation upon the
ground of indisposition. The resignation was accepted ;
And the board adjourned.
SUt:IDAY TRADING.—The police having received strict
orders to lay informations against all persons selling arti-
cles on Sunday, a number of informations were heard on
Priday. Several were laid against parties for selling
oranges and cakes, and Mr. Rushton, in the course of
hearing the cases, said the law provided that no person
should exercise any labour in their ordinary calling on the
Lord's Day. The courts of law had construed this law
very
strictly. and held that the person should be a trades-
man, artificer, workman, or labourer, and lie would also
construe it strictly. He could not say that the persons
before-named would come under the denomination of
tradesmen,
workmen, artificers, or labourers. and there-
fore he would acquit them ; but they must remember,
that if they exposed their goods for sale, the officers could
seize them, and they would be forteited. Nine persons,
residing in the neighbourhood of Vauxhall-road, 13oing-
terb. ,
"mo Oldhall-street, were severally hued ss.
