SUSPICION OF BURGLARY.—Three men, Frank
Monaghan, James Rafferty, and Wm. M'Donald, were
charged by a girl, named Martha Penlington, on suspi-
cion of having broken into a house in Adlington-street.
and stealing therefrom a cash box containing money and
other valuables. The complainant said she was servant
to Mrs. Walsh, who keeps a public-house in thefitreet
named. On Sunday morning, at seven o'clock,
she (witness) heard footsteps in the bar, anti, oil
going down, found the prisoners in and about the
counter. They wanted a glass of brandy, stating
that it was for a party who Was taken ill. Mona-
ghan was inside the bar, and the other two near at
hand. They did not get the brandy, but some ale each,
and went away together. Soon afterwards a woman, who
lived in the neighbourhood, found a tin cash-box, smashed
to pieces, in her back yard. Information was given to
the police, and the three prisoners who kept together
were followed through several streets near Scotland-place,
and were apprehended. Nothing :was found upon them
but a few coppers, and there was not any distinct proof
that they had broken into the house. There was in the
cash-box (in a cupboard) £3 in silver, and one sovereign,
together with a bead purse, and other articles. Other
things were taken from the cupboard, including two silver
spoons, and two pairs of silver sugar-tongs. No money
was found in the broken box. Under the circumstances,
it was found necessary to remand the prisoners.
ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON.—A flat man, named
William Fairhurst, was committed for trial, charged by
Wm. Trueman, also a boatman, with robbing him while
he was asleep, on Saturday night, in a public-house hi
Leeds-street, of £1 15s. in cash. A man who saw the
offence had the delinquent taken into custody.
MINOR OFFENCES.—A little boy, whose head 'did not
reach the top of the bar, was sent to gaol for three
months for attempting to pick people's pockets in Rene-
lagli-street.----A woman was committed under the new act
for being in possession of about 141 b. of raw cotton, of
which she could give no satisfactory account.—A girl was
committed for twenty-one days, for stealing a string of
beads from the hand of a gentleman's daughter in the
street.

ROBBERY IN THE WEST DERBY WORKHOUSE.—An
able-bodied young man who had been an inmate of the
workhouse named, for fifteen months, was committed for
trial charged with having taken possession of two flannel
singlets, two pairs of stockings, and a pair of drawers, the
property of the guardians of the union, and with which he
intended to leave the house.

PAINFUL CASE.—A good-looking youth, whose parents
are highly respectable, was charged by a gentleman, named
Aspinall, with embezzling from him a sovereign. Mr. A_
said the prisoner had been some time in his employ, and
had during the time conducted himself well—so that he
sent him to school. Recently, he gave him four sovereigns
to pay to a gentleman, and it appeared he had only deli-
vered three of them. The prisoner, who was crying during
the examination, said,—when on his way with the money
he met a young man who endeavoured:to persuade him to
hand him one of the sovereigns, and to tell Mr. Aspinall
that he had lost it, and he finally took it from the youth.
