ROBBING A FOREIGNER.—Mary Welsh, a dissolute-
m, was charged with stealing a sovereign
from the person of a German sailor,in Chapel-street, on
Saturday might last. It appeared from his own statement
that, in proceeding along the street, he met the prisoner,
who accosted him, and while they were enaged in con-
versation, she picked his pocket of -a sovereign. She, of
course, denied all knowledge of the theft. but admitted
having been in the prosecutor's company. Being well-
known to the police as a pick-pocket, she was sentenced
to be imprisoned for a month.
ROBBING AN htlitlGUANT.—Mary Macdonald, Ann
£96. in sovereigns, froma middle-aged man named John
Gallagher, and Mar:Nowlan, were charged with stealing
Brindley, on Friday ,night last. Froth the prosecutor's
evidence, it appeared that on the day in question he had
arrived in Liverpool, from Melbourne, in the ship Marion
Moore, and, having acquaintances in town, he came on
shore, bringing with him the money named, and also a
bill for £360. In coming along Smithfield-street, he met
one of the prisoner; and subsequettly the other two, with
whom he got drunk, and then accompanied them home,
where he fell asleep.. Ou awaking he felt that the bill was
safe; but his purse, containing £96, and Which he had had
in the pocket of a • waistcoat, worn next his skin, was
gone. He gave an alarm, and had the parties taken into
custody, but no money was found on any of them. It
being presumed that the money had been handed to an
accomplice, the prisoners were remanded for a week.
ATTEXPTED HOUSEBC.EA.KING.—Thomas Collins and
James Pollard, two squalid-looking ragamuffins, were
charged with attempting to remove the frame of a back
window from the premises of a ship provision store, in
Bath-street, at an early hour yesterday morning. The
police-constable on duty observed the intended burglars at
work, and procured assistance. On his approach, the
culprits ran ofl; but were pursued and overtaken. In
their haste to escape they left behind them some of their
implements of housebreaking. Both of them, though
young, are well known to the police, who had been on the
look-out for them for some time past. They were each
sentenced to be imprisoned for three months.
AN INCORRIGIBLE.—John Connacher, an interesting-
looking boy, decently attired and well featured, apparently
about twelve years old, was charged with attempting to
pick the pockets of several ladies on the landing-stage on
Sunday evening. He was seen to try the pockets of
several ladies in the crowd, and at about half-past nine he
was caught in the act of. putting his hand into a. lady's
pocket, who, however, would not consent to appear against
him. On.being searched, after he was taken into custody,
£1 Bs. 7d. was found in his possession. The prisoner was
defended by an attorney, who represented that his youth-
ful client was the victim of misplaced suspicion; that the
charge against him was no more than that of suspicion,
and that, being hitherto unknown to be connected with
crime, he ought to be discharged. Inspector Bates, of the
detective force, the Bridewell-keeper, and several of the
detective-officers, identified the prisoner as one of the
most dexterous thieves in Liverpool, and. proved that he
had been sentenced to three months' imprisonment in
e and
June, 1853. He was again sentenced to be imprisoned for
three months. As he was being removed, he pertly de-
mandedelibert
ethl y havecounted
over money,
t And, having obtaoitihieder
silver,
putting putting some of it into the hands of his attorney, appa-
rently as his fee.
EXTENSIVE THEFT FROM A WAREHOLTSE.—Thomas
Bartley, Gabriel Lewis, and James Cairns, were charged
with being connected in an extensive series of robberies,
from the warehouse of Mr. Brancker, consisting of barrels
of flour and other articles. From the evidence, it appeared
that Bartley has been employed as a warehouse-clerk by
Mr. Brancker, and that Lewis has been similarly employed
in an adjoining warehouse, while Cairns is a small dealer
residing in Chisenhale-street. From information he had
received, Inspector Bates, accompanied by detectives Sul-
livan and Scott, took all three into custody on Sunday,
when each of them denied all knowledge of the others.
On being lodged in bridewell, Cairns, admitted that he had
bought one or two barrels of flour from the prisoner Bart-
ley; and Bartley confessed that lie and Lewis had both
sold flour to Cairns. On searching the premises occupied
by Cairns, a large quantity of flour, four boxes of tea, and
about five cwt. of sugar, were found under circumstances
which left little doubt that nearly all of the property was
the proceeds of robbery. Admissions on the part of the
different prisoners acknowledged that thirty barrels of flour
had been stolen from Mr. Brancker's establishment ; but
there being reason to believe that robberies to a greater
extent than those named had been participated in by the
prisoners, they were remanded for a week.
