HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—.A: daring robbery was perpe-
trated on Tuesday evening last, at Everton. About half-
past ten o'clock on tbat evening, a gentleman who
resides in Church-street, Everton, was proceeding home,
along Priory-lane, when three men came up to him, and

one of them, from behind, put his hands ovrr his mouth ;
two of them took his watch and chain, while the other
took a purse from his pocket containing five shillings in
silver. After giving him a blow over the head, which

caused him to rebl into a ditch, they left him, and made
off across the fields. The gentleman gave the alarm, and
a p.tlice officer came up immediately, who went itt pursuit
of the villains, but they succeeded in making their escape.
A hat was found. supposed tb belong to one of them.
WEST DkRBY BOARD OF GUARDTANS.—The usual
weekly meeting of the Guardians was held on Tuesday

last, Ir. Roberts in the chair. A call of 23 per cent, was
moved for to rep'enish the funds, the same to be paid on
or before the 17th .lune. A question arose as to the in-
terment of a poor man. who was then lying dead in Ever-
ton, and who, before his demise, had requested to be bu-
ried in the Necropolis. where the bodies of some of his
family had been laid. He had lately dwelt in Everton,
hut received parochial relief from West Derby, and the
law appeared to be that, if buried at the parish expense,
the body shall be interred in the ground of the parish
church, or other burial ground rf the parish or place in
which the demise takes pace; or, otherwise, in some con-

ceased had belonged. and in which he had a settlement.
S'tme discussion took place, the prevailing opinion of the
Bard being that the request of the deceased should be
complied with. It wits ultimately ordered that the inter-
ment should take place at the Necropolis, one of the
Commissioners, intimating that if the payment were not

allowed, he would defray the expenses himself.
THREE DEAD BODIES BR-OUGHT FROM LIVE'RPOOL DT
THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—About
Iwo years ago Messrs. Chaplin arid Horne, the railway
carriers, received at their warehouse in Liverpool a large
square box, addressed to a Dr. Hunter, in London. The
carriage was paid, and the box brought up by one of the

Hunter could not he found. and the package was ten
hack to the depot at the goods department of the Bir-

mained undisturbed until within the lest few days, when

in consequence of some alterations about to take place in
the building, it became necessary to remove the various
oackages. On coming to the la;•ge box in question, the
length of the date back a!tracted the attention a some of
the workmen, who, by order of the manager of the goods

department, opened the box to at,certain its contents.
00 doing so a most unpleasant odour was emitted; and.
to the astonishment of all present. three dead bodies were
