BOW-STREET.-(TRIS DAY.)

Jai te Remingtom was placed at the bar in accordance
with remand charged with stealing a portemonie, a gold
watch and chain, and some silver money, the property
of 2Pe ter D'Espersack, a French gentleman.
It appeared that the prisoner at the bar met the prose-
cutor in Great Marlborough-street last Monday as he
was: leaving the police-court. At her request he took her
to a. house, where they had some refreshment, and even
tur‘lls he accompanied her to her lodgings. After re-
tinal] ing then some time he was prepared to leave, and
then he discovered that his portemonsie and gold watch
anal chain had been stolen by the prisoner. She had
left• the house, but be followed her into the street, and told
a !pc) liceti an that he had been robbed. The policeman,
it al ipeared, happened to see the woman run from the
house, which was in Great Wild-street, and enter another
one immediately opposite, and the prosecutor following
her, crying, " Watch, watch." He (the policeman)
erite red the house and found the prisoner sitting on the
this d-floor stairs, with the watch and chain in her posses-
sion . The portemounaie, in which were some papers of
gi ea it value, could not be found on the day it was lost,
arLd the case was remanded in order to afford the police
time to recover it. The constable and prosecutor attended
this morning but the purse had not been found.
Ti to depositions having been read over to the prose-
cute, r, through an interpreter, the prisoner was fully
cons witted for trial.

A young man applied at this /Aim-court this morn-
ing for a summons against a shoemaker in the neigh-
bout hood who had defaced a half-crown, his property.
It a ppeared that the young man entered the shop to
purc base a pair of shoes, and tendered in payment two
halt• crowns and a shilling, but the man who kept the
shot ) said one of the half-crowns was bad, and proceeded
to b ammer it up. He had since taken the half-crown
to a silversmith, who stated it was a genuine one.
'I he magistrate refused the summons as the coin was
not defaced, it being only bent, and with a little care it
coai td be straightened.
