LOVE Or TINZET. —ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Br A EERVANT GIRL.
Isar/inn Shepleyfl, aged 15, a showily-attired girl, was
before Sir. D'Eyncotirt with stealing, on or about
th inst., five sovereigns, the moneys of Mr. Willie.m
orther, her employer, at 31, Cleveland-road, Downham-
-61 and further with stealing a parasol, the property of
• .

.
s mistress.
Le evidence of Police-constable Brandt, 451 N, was to
, effect that the landlord of the Pegasus Tavern in the
On-lanes called hie attention to the prisoner who had
sitting on the banks of the New River weeping
rly. The prisoner when the constable was called was
•he private room of the publichouse, and had been
„,,,,a very kindly by the landlord and his
,fitter,. On his speaking to the prisoner she

afterwards said she would tell the whole truth, that
:had robbed her mistress of a parasol and four Bole-
tus, and having expended some of the money on
ay, had had her pocket picked in Shore-
ch of the rest. From inquiries made of the
iecutrix, it appeared that the prisoner had
friends, that her mother was dead, and her father had
vetted her, and that being an inmate of the workhouse,
prusecutrix had taken her and had kept her for nearly
etre months. The prisoner, although she pretended to
very religious, was in the habit of telling untruths, and
a not to be believed, as she had lately stated that she
a seen her father, and had afterwards denied having
Ise so. On the day of the robbery. the pro-
! aerie went on a visit to a friend, and
el the prisoner opened the drawers with a false
~, v, and went out leaving the house fastened, so that
I :entry had to be made by the windows. She took the
ea her clothes with her, and it was strongly suspected
.t she had been leveling a dissipated life.
rhe prisoner, who now pretended to cry, said she was

Yr. D'Eyncourt committed the prisoner to the Middle-
( Sessions for trial.
