STEALING WRECKED GOODS.—Yesterday, three sesmerbji
belonging to the Triton, now lying in this port, were brougof
before Mr. Rushton, charged with stealing a quantitY.ej
wrecked goods. It appeared from the evidence that a "'rod
called the Emily had been wrecked at the Scilly islanrist,"o,
that the bale goods had been re-shipped on board the Tris,ut°.;
in the forecastle of which a quantity of handkerchiefs, ,be
belonging to the Emily, was found, the prisoners beingrid
only parties who lived there. Mr. Rushton, after Wong
the case, said sailors and others ought to know how stroat
the provisions of the law were on this subject. It Was' ked,
if any goods belonging to any ship in distress, or morelnor
be found in the possession of any party, who shy 7014
satisfy the justice before whom such case shall be heard, /Vet
he came lawfully in possession of them, the justice may the

mitted to gaol for any period not exceeding two months, "does
the fine does not exceed £5 ; four months when the five that
not exceed £lO ; and six months when the fine is abco:ehviitli

30s. thevalue of the goods, and £lO as a penalty, or

imprisoned three months. the

APPEALS AT THE SESSIONS.—At the sessions, Yesc,epe''
after the disposal of the criminal cases, two cases 01...Zjer•
oa the part of publicans were brought befoae the Re': tlia
They both arose out of convictions by Mr. Rusht°llloo

(now appellants) had sold liquors at an early hour 011,q1bil
morning, contrary to the local act of parliament vv4l'; tire`
for some time been in operation in this borough. wee"
case was that of Joseph Clayton, publican, Ath°l-,eloct
Scotland-road. Inspector Moore said. that at one gat the
on Sunday morning, the Bth January, liquor was soi.,h it
appellant's house. He found the party coming out wit

a bottle, but did not see it sold. The evidence wasAcibes,.e;
stantial, but satisfied the Recorder of the fact, and „fro-
cordingly confirmed the conviction, £5, with cos.ntse'neett°
other case was that of James Smith, publican, -''' iy With

of January last, he saw three women standing near. tie!
nellant's house. He was in coloured clothes at tn,rear
having been sent to watch the premises. He looked ;_: three
the window for about a minute, and there observed to_'ito the
women in the house, standing outside the counter, at• thesi
landlady (appellan's wife) inside of it. He saw one %10113
