UNGRATEE4JI, TO SAY THE LEAST.—A young woman
named Ellen Norris was charged at the police court yesterday
with stealing £2 from Mrs. Elizabeth Parkins, of Clarence-
street. The tomplainant, a neatly-dressed, pleasant-looking
little woman, said that the prisoner came to her with a tale of
great distress on Friday morning, to the effect that her step-
mother had turned her out of doors into The street. She
(complainant) consoled her and gave her food and clothes, and
promised to let her stay until she could get a place. In the
afternoon they went out together, Mrs. Parkins wishing to
purchase some groceries. After they had got a short distance
the latter discovered that she had left her purse behind. The
prisoner offered to return and fetch it, but Mrs. Parkins said
she -could make her purchases another time. The prisoner
insisted upon running back for the'purse, and this -grousing
the suspicion of Mrs. Parkins she turned back too, but on her
arrival found that the prisoner had received the purse with
the £2 in it, and made off. She was apprehended next day
,with 18s. still in her possession. With the remainder she had
purchased a new bonnet, a dress, a pair of boots and a pair of
ear-rings. There was a -second charge also against the
prisoner. Her step-sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Nelson, of Ander-
son-street, Toxteth-park, said--that she had been keeping the
prisoner for the last three or four weeks unknown to her
husband, and that on Monday last she decamped, taking with
her a new dress belonging 'to her (Mrs. Nelson's) eldest
daughter, and 4s. 10-1-d. in-inoney. The prisoner was found,
the same evening, in the Adelphi:Theatre, with the dress upon
her, and was made to restore it. The case was remanded for
a week, as the only legal -way of inflicting a punishment on
the degraded girl.
A VERDANT YOUTH ;THOM THE GREEN ISLE.—An extra-
ordinary instance of "greenness " was brought before the
Police-court yesterday. William Williams, a well-known;
street duffer, was charged with stealing twenty shillings. ,
From the evidence of several witnesses, it appeared that on
Friday evening the mate of the American ship Shakspeare,
staying at Mr. Horrocks's public-house, Waterloo-road,'
wanted change for an American gold eagle, a 5-dollar piece.. '
The barmaid not being able to accommodate him, asked John'
McHale, a youth .who keeps a smallware stall, just opposite'
the house, and who described himself to the bench as "a few
months here from '`Datiblin,' " to get it changed for her' at
Mrs. Coles's, an adjoining public-house. The prisoner, who
had been drinking at Horrocks's, heard the request and fol-1
lowed the boy to Mrs. Coles's. McHale received twenty'
shillings in change' for the " eagle " from Mrs. Coles, when.
the prisonertalled-him on one side. Some whispering passed
between them, when the prisoner, by some unexplained means,:,
cajoled the simple boy into giving him the change, and ran'
off, throwing :baek a-shilling to McHale as he passed through;
the door, with an injunction to " give that to the policeman."'
(Laughter.) McHale went back to Mrs. Coles to complain.
of the change boing-stolen from him, when she very naturally:
laughed at him, and told him to take better caremext time.P
The prisoner being .known was eventually apprehended, when'
he offered to refundthe money to the mate of the -Sliakspeare,:
but the latter refused "on account of the dirty trick he had -
played upon the boy." Mr. Bluck, the prisoners attorney,'

PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE (IN ROGIJETtiT) RIGHT_LYI
REWANDEIL—Mary Ann Heyes, a young woman, of very
dissipated -appearance, was brought up at the. Police-court,:
yesterday, charged with obtaining goods by a perseverance in
fraud worthyof amore honest cause. A young lady, assistant
to Mr. Pentony, boot and shoemaker, Commutation-row,
Lime street, stated that Reyes came to the shop on the_24th
of August, and selected a pair of ladies' boots, which she
ordered to be sent. up to a certain address at Low-hill. A'
shopman took the boots to the address • but, finding no one'
of that name, he took 'them back to the shop. On the 27th
she came again, and .asked why 'the boots had not been
delivered. She was tbld why, and then she saidthat they had'
mistaken the address, and that the boots were to be sent to
Radcliffe-street. She ,also managed to steal a pair of similar
boots while in the shop -this time, but the 'robbery was'
not discovered then. 'These boots she pledged at Mr.
Houghton's,Seetland-place.-On Fridayweek, the_ 24th August,:
she went to the shop of Mr. Richard Crossley, 'South Castle-
street, and asked -to 'be -supplied with a pair of boots,
mentioning 'that she' had bought a pair there about six
months previously. .The shopman being busy, directed a boy
to serve her. She did not purchase any that were shown to'
her; but managed to takeaway a pair of patent-leather lace-'
up gentleman'-s'boots; unknown to those in the shop. On the
same day she .attempted to pledge them at the shop of Mr.
Bolton, Richmond-street, saying that they belonged to the'
person with 'whom-she lived. The assistant, suspecting them
to have been etelen; told- her to send the owner, and detained
the boots. Theprisoner never-returned, and information was
given to the police, who discovered that they were Mr. Cross-
ley's
similar robbery that had taken 'place at Mr. Pentony, E. On
property,;and Also, in, the course of the inquiry,' to a'
Saturday last the prisoner ealledAt Mr. Pentony's, totr .complainlhe
that the boots Itad,not been delivered at R.acichffet et. e
result of her persevering efforts to perpetrate swindling was,
that she was at once given into..custody, and ye aY•coni-
initted for trial.

VERY ()DD.—About-three months ago a black cloth mantle
trimmed with a peculiar description of grey velvet, was stqlem
?from the shop of Mr. Esdaile, draper and hosier, Byrqm-
•street. On Satarday.evening last, M. Esdaile saw a rather
,pretty young Lady walk .past his shop, wearing what he be-
lieved to be the identical mantle. ,He ran out, stopped the
young lady, invited terinto the shop, and politely asked her
how she became posse,ssetiof the mantle. She told him that
it had been bought at the fiiver,house, hut added that she'
could not be quite eertain„as her mother had purchased it
for,her. The young lady,—aNiss Margaret Rogan,—wis de-
tained, and her mother aeut for. The mother said she had
purchased the mantle from a Mrs. Mary Willock, an old
clothes dealer, who keeps ,a shop in l3rovgdow-hill. Mrs.
Willoa was accordingly apprehended, and-brought up at the
Police-court yesterday, where all parties concerned appeared.
Mr. Esdaile valued the mantle ,at £2 25., when it was stolen.
He was quite positive it was the mantle that was produced in
court. Miss Rogan said she paid .o.nly .ss. forit,:and did not
consider it .a very low price, as ,it appeared to have been
worn a little,, and was also spoilt in the making, there being

Liverpool. (Laughter;) I don't know where to find the old
lady as I bought it from, but she passes my shop every day,
and I could find her out from that." Superintendent Clough
said that the prisoner had kept an old clothes shop for many
years, without anything having been known against her by
the police. Upon this the magistrate (Mr. Bolton) discharged
her, enjoining her, at the same time, to find the " respectable
old lady named Gardner."

UNPLEASAST RESULTS OF A "LITTLE LARK."—James
McArdle and George McNeill, two young men, who described
, their occupation to be " nothing particular," were brought up
a 4 the police-court, before Mr. Bolton, yesterday, charged with
stealing a horse ,and gig. About ten minutes to eleven o'clock,
on Sunday night, Mr. Charles Dillmann, a German, residing
in this town,.called ,upon his friend, Mr. Charles Grau, who
keeps the Black Ball Hotel, 48, Duke-street. He left his
horse and gig at the door, and asked that somebody might be
placed to take charge of it. Mrs. Grau herself went to the
door for this purpose, and seeing the two prisoners hanging
about the door, she begun to remove the cushions and other
moveable things from the gig, " for fear that they should
steal them." She had scarcely got within the front-door with
her first load, when the prisoners jumped up on to the gig and
drove off. An alarm having been given, Mr. Dillmann set off
after his stolen property on foot, while Mr. Gran made
chase in a cab, Directed by the sound of the wheels,
Mr. Dillmann kept the runaways in view, as far as
Scotland-road, where he lost sight of the chase. He then
dived up one street and down another, enquiring of those
he met whether they had " seen a gig running away with two
men in it ?" In Bevington-bush and Limekiln-lane he learnt
that " the fellows had driven by like mad," and at last, utterly
bewildered, he enlisted the services of two or three working
men he met to aid him in the search. Emerging into the
middle of Marybone, about a quarter to 12 o'clock, he enjoyed
the sight of the vehicle coming into it from an opposite direc-
tion, and he ran up and secured the pony's head, for the
animal knew his voice and stopped when he called to it.
WArdle jumped off the gig, and wanted to fight the owner,
"in satisfaction," as he said, but police-officer 290 coming up,
he was taken into custody. In the row that occurred when
the runaway gig:was caught, M'Neill managed to escape, but he
was apprehended early yesterday morning, at a house in Spar-
ling-street. On being asked what their defence was, M'Ardle,
in a tone of innocence, said—" Me an(bthis chap (M'Neill) had
been drinking together in the Johnny Swift public-
house, when he axed me if I would jump up on the
gig for a lark, and drive quietly up and down the street
till the gentleman come out. (Laughter.) No sooner had
we got up than we had no power over the reins, and the
pony run away with us both, down through Whitechapel.i
(Renewed laughter.) When he got tired we pulled him up,
and we were taking the pony back to Duke-street, when the
gentleman came up and sauced us." (Laughter.) This inge-
nious defence of the prisoner, borne out as it seemed to be by
the circumstances of the chase and subsequent capture, evi-
dently rather puzzled Mr. Bolton, the magistrate. He went
to consult with Mr. Mansfield, the stipendiary, and, after a
few minutes' absence, he returned, and, addressing the pri-
soners, said—" You have not satisfactorily accounted for the
possession of this gig and horse, Each of you, muo have two
n394ths' imprisonment,"
