GUILDHALL.—Ton ROMMITT AT Masses. ORR AND
Co.'s, or AMEN-COHICEIL—MeIry Perrin, a forewoman in
the bookbinding department of the above firm, was again
charged with robbing her employen.—Alderntan Sidney
wished to know if Mr. Orr was able to identify his property ?
—lie replied that he could not positively swear to the great
bulk of it.—Alderman Sidney said that the question with
him was how far he should be doing judos to the public by
letting her off I—Mr. Orr thought it might be a safer act
to give her an opportunity of recovering her character
and being an honest woman for the future.—Alderman
Sidney told the prisoner that as the charge was not proceeded
with, and u there was hardly sufficient evidence taken on
the last occasion to warrant her being committed, he should
discharge her, at the same time hoping that her future con-
duct would be such as to show that she really deserved the
merciful consideration of the muter she had so seriously
robbed.—She was then discharged,

pair of gloves, a pair of stockings, and a collar from the shop
at Maws. Phillips and Co., mercers, Regent4treet.—An as-
sistant to Menus. Phillips, named Edwards, soot the prisoner
same into the shop th day and made a selection of some
M
which she wished to be packed in • parcel and sent
to a MTS. Roberts, of Carlton-terrace. Witness suspected
the prisoner, and on watching her closely he saw her take
something trim the counter and place it beneath her shawl.
As she was about to leave the shop she
was stepped and
*barged with the offence of stealing. When searched at the
station-house the property now produced was found in her
posseseion.—The prisoner, who was very genteelly dressed,in
a rambling incoherent way, begged the magistrate to send for
bee husband, who would tell him all about it. She
said that her husband had gone to the Bonk
b receive some money at the and of a Chan-
cery suit, and she bad contrived to leave home without
the knowledge of her family.—Mr. Hardwieke asked the
witness Edwards if the prisoner exhibited the same incohe-
rence when making purchases I—The wiliest' said, certainly
not. The prisoner was as collected and sensible as the most
rational of the customers.—Policeoonstable Mould add the
ID-Moiler certainly did not exhibit the same eccentricity of
when be took her into custody.—Mr. Hardwicke
said it would be as well to make inquiry of the prisoner's
friends, whether the present irrational manner and speech
were only assumed or whether the prisoner really laboured
under disordered intellects. lie should direct the police to
make the requisite inquiries, before he finally committed the
prieoner.—The prisoner was then removed, and when in the
lockup cell she gave her address No. 2, Mountford-road,
Westboume-road.
