The Late Mr. Daniel Clarke.- Mr. Daniel Clarke, who died on? Monday at his house in Canning?-street, was one of our best known? and esteemed local men, though? chiefly concerned in business and philanthropic affairs. He was born at Bewdley, in Worcestershire, and was apprenticed to the timber trade, but in early life he joined Mr. Ingram, under the style of Ingram and Clarke, their business being that of lime merchants and commission agents. Though a strong Conservative and Churchman, Mr. Clarke never took a bitter or extreme view, his natural geniality and fine temper being? always conspicuous. During his long connection of fifty years with Mr. Ingram the majority of their employees? remained with them for a great? number of years- Mr.? Lyon, the manager, so long as forty-three years?. In private and social life, Mr. Clarke was greatly beloved for his tendernessof heart, and his society much courted from his joyous temperament. Latterly, however, he had suffered greatly from liver complaint, to which he ultimately succumbed. Mr. Clarke took a very active interest in the various local charities, particularly the Southern Hospital, the Cancer Hospital, and the Dispensaries, and his absence will be much missed at the committees of such institutions.

From The Liverpool Courier, dated Wednesday, June 2, 1886.

THE GARSTON STABBING CASE. ALLEGED PERJURY. At the Dale-street Police Court yesterday, before Mr. Raffles, stipendiary magistrate, a young woman named Mary Ellen Dwerryhouse was brought up charged with having committed perjury at the Islington County Court and at the present Liverpool Assizes. Mr. Quilliam appeared for the prosecution and Mr. Madden for the defence. Mr. Quilliam said that the case arose out of a case that was tried at the present assizes, and the prosecution was virtually at the instigation of the learned judge on that occasion. The learned judge said that he was bound to say that he quite agreed with the remarks of the learned counsel, and that he was justified in making the remark that the girl Dwerryhouse was not justified in making the declaration she had. He (Mr.? Quilliam) would have to allege two specific charges against the girl, one before the magistrates and the other committed before the judge at the assizes. The girl swore that she was present on the occasion of a certain row in St. Mary's-road, Garston, and saw Jay rush forward and stab a man named Healey several times with a knife, whereas he (Mr. Quilliam) would show that the girl was standing down another road? in such a position that she was unable to see any of the occurrences she named.

Samuel Burrows, shorthand writer, stated that he took a verbatim note of the proceedings at the County Sessions-house, where Dwerryhouse stated that she saw Jay strike Healy with a knife several times in the back.

Wm. Anderton Jay?, licensed victualler, of St. Mary's-road, Garston, said on the 24th of March last he was brought before the magistrates at the? Court-house, Islington, with having on the 13th of March, with one George Davies, assaulted and wounded Michael Healey at Garston. He was arrested without a warrant on that charge. Before the magistrates? the girl Dwerryhouse appeared against him as a witness, and she stated she saw him rush forward with a large double-bladed knife in his hand, with which he stabbed Michael Healey in the back several times. On that evidence he was committed to the assizes for? trial, and before Mr. Justice Grantham and a jury she repeated the evidence, but the jury stopped the case, and dismissed him and his fellow prisoner, the judge remarking that there was nothing against their characters.

Cross-examined by Mr. Madden.- Somebody? called out that the inspector was in trouble and he? went out to help him. Several witnesses were called to prove that the prisoner was some distance away from the place where the row took place. Mr. Graham, a shorthand writer who was engaged to? take notes of the proceedings at the assize court?, deposed that the prisoner? gave evidence to the effect that she saw Jay stab Healey?. Prisoner, who reserved her defence, was committed to the next assizes for trial, bail being accepted.
