POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARIXOROUGLI - STREET. Jane Cope was
charged by the Central Association in Aid of the Wives
and Families of Soldiers now in the Crituea with havinr,
defrauded the society of a sovereign. "

Mr. Ge)rge Bell, the secretary, stated that the pri-
soner called upon him, and represented herself to be the
wife of Quartermaster Sergeant Cope, of the 38th Regi-
ment, now in the Crimea ; that she had been married
with leave, and had a son, who was serving as clerk to
his father. The prisoner said she was known 'to Capt.
Hackett, and to Lady Campbell, wife of Sir John
Campbell, the colonel. He asked her fur the papers
and regimental card, which every soldier was provided
with. She said she had not got them, as they had been
destroyed, together with everything she possessed, in a
fire that happened when she lodged in Farringdon-street.
Believing her story to be true he took her before the
committee, and by their order a sovereign was given to
ber by the assistant-secretary. Front circumstances
which subsequently came to his knowledge he had the
prisoner given into custody.
Hannah Rayner had known Sergeant Cope intimately
for some years, and had never heard of his having a wife.
Rose Bennett, wife of Paymaster Sergeant Bennett,
also knew Sergeant Cope, of the 38th, and never heard
of his having a wife.
The prisoner said she/was married at Bilston, in Suf-
folk, to Sergeant Cope.

kr. Bingham said he would remand the prisoner till
Wednesday, to give the society an opportunity of
making inquiries at Bilston into the truth of the pri-
soner's statement.

Mary Ann Jane Turner, a respectably dressed wo-
man, who said she was the wife of a surgeon living at
Hackney, was charged with picking the pocket of a lady
named Baynton.
Mre. Baynton said she was stopping at Anderton's
Hotel with her husband. While walking in Oxford-
street on Saturday she stopped to look at some goods in
a window, and while thus engaged she felt a band in
her pocket. She put her arm down and her band carne
in contact with the prisoner's hand, which was still
under her mantle. She put her hand to her pocket and
missed her purse, which contained about twelve sove-
reigns in gold, which she had seen quite safe a few
minutes beforc, as she had had occasion to take some
silver from it to pay the omnibus fare. She immediately
called to a lady who was with "her, and putting her
hand on the arm of the prisoner said, "You have got
my purse." The prisoner pretended to %be indignant at
the charge, and appealed to a young woman whom she
called her sister, but who made off as soon as a police-
man was called. The prisoner pulled out a purse, not
the one stolen, and said she was willing to be searched.
Police-constable Smee said he took the prisoner into
a shop, to search her. The prisoner pulled, out a
quantity of gold, and said to the la'iy, "if that is
your money, take it." The prisoner was searched, and
8/.405. in gold was found in her possession. Witness
went to the address given by the prisoner, but it was a
false address.
The prisoner averted her innocence, and was fully
committed.
