WORSHIP-STREET.
A tall and reapectably-dreesed young woman, who gave
the name of Susan Whitehead, wee charged before Mr.
Cooke with being concerned in the following fraud :
Mr. Cornelius Sutton, landlord of the Royal Cricketers
public-house, Old Ford-road, Bow, maid—l know the pri-
soner. On the 27th of December last she came to my
house with the following note:
"Sir,—l should feel obliged by your sending one bottle
of gin, one bottle of rum, and one gallon of the beat ale,
which I will pay for on Monday next. I have money in the
hour% u you may see, but not lees than the note enclosed,
which perhaps, by.the-bye, you can sub.—Yours,
" J. Faanurr."
This was written in a ladylike hand, and having •
oustomer named Farina, I entertained no suspicion of
wrong being intended. The Bank-note produced is the use
tendered by the prisoner, who said she was Mn. Farm*
servant. I desired her to put her name at the bask of It.
She observed that she was unable to writs but that her
mistress would do it. She left, and returned with • person,
who, having written on the back of the note the name "J.
Farrant," I supplied the goods and gave 94 odd in change
of the note. On Wednesday last it was returned to me
stamped " fogged." Today I met the prisoner in the Mile-
end-road and taxed her with the knowledge
.of the guilty
transaction. She said, " Fray do not give ma in charge, and
I will tell you where Hive." I did give her into custody,
and she then refused her address.

—POIICe-cTon;tahlr hands, 81 K—The prisoner resisted, and
said she would not go the station-house. Whilst struggling
with me, a man came up and attempted to rescue her. II
remanded, I believe that other charges will be brought
forward of a similar character to the present.
