POLICE COURTS.-(TI'IIS DAY.,

OUILDHALL.
Till, STRANGE CONDI:KM OF A TOI7IIII GIRL.

A girl about 17 years of age, who gave the name of
Emma Williams, and was a few days ago charged before
Alderman Fiume with assaulting Pollw-constable Gel-
latley when he was taking her in a cab to where she said
she heed, was again placed at the bar before the same
magistrate for further examination.
Giellatley stated that the prisoner's conduct had been
very strange since she had been in prison, and until that
morning she had refused to give any clue to her
frieuds. She had, however, rtated that her name
was Elizabeth Dunn, and that let- father was a tailor,
working at Dunn's Tailor's Laboer Agency, Newington-
causeway. Upon inquiry that turned out to be true, and
the father was present.
The father stepped into the witness-box, and in answer
to Alderman Mums, said the prisoner was the eldest
of four, and was out at service, but she was continually
leaving her places through being saucy. In all her
situations she bore a good character, and was strictly
hiaiest. He could not have her home because their lives
were not safe, she having frequently threatened to
murder them, and he was afraid she would do
it. She had been in Horsemonger-lane gaol for
misbehaviour, and there she was examined as to her state
el mind, but he did not know what the repot was. At
the Lambeth police-court she had been sermely repri-
manded. He did not know what to do with her.

Alderman Finnis said he did not think she was right
in her mind, and he could not think of letting
her go at large. He would send her for
one month to the house of correction for
assaulting the police constable, and at the ex-
piration of that time she should be sent to the Lambeth
workhouse to be taken care of.

W'he•u the prisoner was being removed she exclaimed,
•• it I had my boot off I would throw it at your head.••

CLERKENWELL.
ROCONBINO AND ROBBERY.

Charlotte Coleman, aged 25, a charwoman, of Golden-
lane, St. Luke's, was charged, before Mr. Barker, with
stealing, at Batb-street, St. Luke's, a shawl, value 2a., the
property of Mrs. Elizabeth Rodman.
Yesterday (Friday) the prisoner met the prosecutris
outside a public-house, spoke to her and borrowed some
money from her. According to the prosecutziz's state-
ment, after a great deal of persuasion she was in-
duced to go into a beer-shop, and when she sat
down the prisoner placed a pocket-handkerchief
over her face, and she was rendered at once
incapable of moving although she remembered seeing the
prisoner take off her shawl and walk off with it. As
soon as she recovered herself she gave information to
the police, and afterwards meeting the prisoner, said that
if she would give her the shawl she would not pro-
secute. The prisoner made a great disturbance, but a
constable coming up she was given into custody. The
promeutrix said that she was sure that she had been
hocuseed, and she thought that chloroform was on the
handkerchief that was put to her face. If she could now
get her shawl, she would not prosecute, but she was com-
pelled to go on, as her husband said that the sh..wl was
not stolen, but that she had given it away.
The prisoner said she was innocent of the charge im-
puted to her, and had never seen the prosecutris.
Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner for a week, and con-
sented to take bail.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

nemos George lay, a collector, of No. 28, Coleman-
=City, was charged before Mr. Knox with violently
ling Eliza Pazdoe, a married woman, residing at No.
227r1'eeer-etreet, St. James's.
complainant, whose head was bandaged, and
who appeared to have been much braised, said that
about seven o'clock yesterday, on her way home from
the Military Storm, where she was employed as atailorese,
she stopped at the door of a house in Whitcomb-street
to speak to a friend, when she saw the prisoner, who was
very drunk, corning along the street. Directly fterwards
she saw the prisoner run after a doctor's boy, who had a
basket on his arm, and attempt to kick him in a brutal
manner. She went to the boy's protection, and
drew him into a passage, when the prisoner came
up and after using most offensive epreesione
towards both her and the boy, he attacked her
in a violent manner, blackening one of her eyes, shattering
her teeth, and bruising her all over.
In answer to Mr. Knox the complainant said that she
gave the prisoner no provocation whatever, all she did
was to protect the boy from being kicked.
Mr. Cameron, of No. 9, Dorset-place, Pall-mall, said
that be saw the prisoner, who was drunk, first hit the boy
with the basket, and then because the complainant pulled
the boy into the passage the prisoner attacked her.
Police-constable Ward, 107 A, proved that the prisoner
was drunk.

The prisoner said that he had taken some whisky with
some friends, and remembered nothing more than that
some boys vexed him. He went after one of them, and
on a female protecting the boy he struck her twice as
nearly as he could recollect, and a man came up and gave
him a good hiding, and then he was taken into custody.
Mr. Knox said it was not foe him, sitting in the chair
be did, to commend a person who used a threat of vio-
lence, but he considered the prisoner deserved any amount
of thrashing any of the bystanders thought proper to give
him. He should commit the prisoner for two mouths,
with bald labour.

Mr. Kuux refused the application of the prisoner's
eniplo)er to alter the decision to a fine,
