INGENIOUS ROBBERY.—PRANEFUL INGRATITUDE.
A youth named Robert Dopey, aged 17, was charged with
steeling money and cigars from the lair parlour of the Sun
sad Punchbowl public•house, adjoining the Holborn Casino.
It appeared that the landlord of the house, Mr. Sally, had
liken the boy into his service, a short time back, out of sheer
ptan.:2.. He had come up from Stamford, shatkee and
, and fn his forlorn condition Mr. Gaily not only
pre him employment, but clothed him completely. Ever
since he had been in the hope, however, there had been
constant robberies going on. Money was missed from the
till, and cigars and other articles mysteriously disappeared.
The closest watch was kept upon the prisoner, but he was
, never detected in any felonious attempts. At length the
I aisiriance of one of the detective officers was obtained, with
the desired effect.

PiaTo;coiel;ble Holmes, of the F division, deposed that
he was set to watch the prosecutor's premises. He went
there last night, mad remained in the house till between six
end seven this morning, concealed in • place where he could
watch the bar-parlour unseen. Shortly before seven the pri-
soner went up to the deer of that room. It had been locked
the overnight from the inside, and the key left in the lock—
s common but mistaken notion of insuring additional
misty. The boy took from hie pocket a pair of
tweezers, and applying them to the point of the
key accestrible from the outside, succeeded In turning
it round and unlocking the door. He passed into the room,
and then, after a aunt time, returned, closing the door care-
fully after him. Witnews, coming out of bin hidlng-pLice,
went up to the prisoner, who mid, " hollca I what are you
doing here?' Witness replied, " What are yes doing here,
for that is what lam here to know r The prisoner said,
" I see you area policeman, I suppose. If so, lam done
I for. I said last night that I should be caught. It's my
I own fault." He then gave himself into custody, some
marked money and cigars being found in his pockets. He
pleaded
H guilty.
t Mr. enry sentenced the prisoner to sin months' impri-
i moment.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
CAt TION TO HOUSEKV,EFERA.

Thomas Welch, • young fellow well known to the police
as an " area sneak;' was brought before 31r. Bandon,
charged under the following circumstances
Cole, 317 A, stated that on the preceding night, about
half-past eight o'clock, he was on duty in Lisle-street, Leices-
ter-square, in plain clothe., when his attention woe
attracted to the prisoner and two other men who were
lurking about in • very suspicions manner. Knowing
them to be notorious chararters, he watched them. The
pelsaner then left his companions and went up to No. 26 and
tried the door, but without effect. Prisoner proceeded to
several other homes in the same street, the doors of which
be olio tried, but with the like sumer. The
prisoner then left the street, and witness enbe
went and examined the doors and found themlaoCkl.
He afterwards traced the prisoner into Gerrard-street, and
saw him go to No. 36, and open the door and enter the
. Witness ran across the etreet, when the prisoner
Larn.ng.gecaught sight of him came out, and
No
he had made
a mistake ; he wanted • Mr. Jukee, at No. 26, further up
the street. Witness told him if he had made such a mis-
take he had no business to open the door with • false
key. The prisoner denied that he had done so, and then
threw away something like a key and ran off.
Witness subsequently picked up the Bramah key produced,
which he found would open the door of No. 36. The pri-
soner was shortly after taken into custoly.
The prisoner denied the charge.
Mr. Bandon said it was fortunate the prisoner was de-
tected so soon, as there could be no doubt of his intentions.
The public could not he too cautions of their premises now
winter wee coming on.
The prisoner was then committed to the House of Coersc-
tion for three months with hard labour.

CLERKENWELL.
ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO ramox A 14.0THEIL.

Ann Bork e, respectably dressed young girl, ag7d 17, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Currie, on remand, charged with
feloniously attempting to poison her mother Mrs. Ellen
Broke, by administering to her a quantity of laudanum.
From Ore evidence of the several terming which has al-
ready appeared in this journal it will be recollected that a
few days before the prisoner was given into cus-
tody, her mother sent her for some rum and beer for
tootr supper. The prisoner mined the rum with some water
and gave it to her mother, who shortly after partaking of the
mixture mu taken very ill, and vomited nearly the whole
night, at the same time having a burning sensation in the
throat. A few days afterwards the prisoner boasted that she
had purchased two pennyworth of poison and had ad ministered
It to her mother and OA that was not enough she would
give her another dose. Upon this police constable Glover,
07 N, erase:idled in, and when the prisoner was given into
bV emstody she admitted the same thing. Last week when
she was before Mr. Carrie she treated*. matter re, lightly,
and the magistrate in remanding her expressed a hope that
the remarks of the prison chaplain would be of service toher.
On the present 00CIJi012 the promo:aril did not attend, but
the demeanour of the prisoner was vrry much altered.
One of the Waters of the prisoner now stepped forward,
and said that she believed her sister had been dealt very
harshly with, and that what she had said was merely out of
a frolic or bravado. She was certain that her sister had no
intention to injure her mother or any one else, and the im-
prisonment she had undergone would be a lesson to her fur
the future
•

Dir. 6:irie—Then you think it was a mere idle threat ?
Siater—Yes, and 1 really believe that she has never par-
ehaaed any laudanum in her life.
hfr. Coerie said there certainly wu no proof that the
mother had had laudanum given to her, as no surgeon wu
called in at the time; and, for aught he knew to the con-
trary, what she wee sick of might have been the rum and
water. He hoped it was really as the sister had raid, that it
was a mere idle threat, and in discharging her he warned
her to be cautious bow she acted for the future.
prieoter was then discharged and left the court with
