[[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Sir A. Conan Doyle]], who is understood to be gathering material for a new series of [[Sherlock Holmes]] stories, dealing more especially with bank frauds, caused some surprise in the Liverpool Police Court by unexpectedly walking up the steps leading from the cells to the dock.

Accompanied by the chief constable, he had been going through the under-world of the police buildings in order to gather the local colour.

"Sherlock Holmes" and the magistrate were introduced. The stipendiary, Mr. Stewart, expressed his regret that the famous story-writer had not appeared a little earlier.
