A NARROW RSCAPL

Ellen Brown, a prostitute, was charged before Alderman
Waterlow with robbing Mr. Felix Frauds of his pll2lO, con-
taining four 51. Bank of England notes and about lat. in
English and foreign money.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, on a
former occasion, when be charged a man with being wa-
rmed with the woman in robbing him, that he was poring
through Fleet-street, between 11 and 12 o'clock at sight,
when a woman took him by the arm, and with some
little force Chew him into Hanging Sword-alley, and
under the pretence of embracing him threw her arms
round his body and abstracted his puree from
his pocket, and the next instant decamped with her booty.
was about to detain her when the man made his
anis and, assuming a very threatening attitude, asked
he was doing with his lobe man's) wife. The prosecutor
became so alarmed that he allowed the woman to escape,
upon which the man walked coolly away. On recover-
ing his presence of mind, the prosecutor followed the
man and gave him into custody; but not being able to
remain in England to prosecute at the Old Bailey,
the man was summarily convicted as a notorious rogue and
vagabond, and committed to prison for three months, with
hard labour. Since then the prosecutor had gone to Paris,
and shortly afterwards the prisoner was apprehended on
suspicion of being the woman who robbed him ; but as none
of the money had been found the prosecutor declined to
appear against her.
Alderman Waterlow asked the prisoner what she had to
say to the charge.
The prisoner said she was at home and asleep at the time
the gentleman was robbed.
Alderman Waterlow told her that her anteudesks as far
as they were known to the police were very much against
her, and had the prosecutor attended to identify her ha
should have sent her for triaL The evideaoe, however',
without him was insufficient, and he therefore discharged
her.

The primmer said, whatever she had been guilty of on
other occasions she yea innocent this time.

Alderman Waterlow laid he regretted b• was obliged to
entertain a different opinion.
