A MISCHIEVOUS WOMAX.—mary
a dock labourer, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged
Ann Taylor, a
with breaking a large sheet of plate glass, valued at £l, in
the window of the Brewers' Hall, wine and beer house in
the Commercial-road.
A carman, named William Tacker, said he was passing
the Brewers' Hall soon after 10 o'clock last night, and saw
the prisoner pick up a stone and hurl it against a pane of
glass which was broken into many pieces. She then ex.
claimed " I have done it."
Mr. Stephen Henry Atkins, the landlord of the Brewers'
Hall, said the pane of glass was worth LI. The prisoner
said she came out to break windows, and if she had not
smashed his glass, she most certainly would have broken
some other person's glass.
Mr. Partridge—Are you insured?
Witness—l am not, sir.
The prisoner, in defence, said she was intoxicated last
night, and really did not know what she did.
Mr. Partridge—Where is your husband ?
The prisoner—l don't know, ;he promised to be here.
Mr. Partridge said the prisoner had been guilty of a very
wanton and mischievous act. IT
--e should not dispose of this
case until

ment e landlord of the beerhouse,

the

with
he should inflict a severe punishment.

stealing a shawl, the property of a poor woman named

The prisoner was no sooner put in the dock than she was
recognised by Aoche, the gaoler, a, an old thief, who
pleaded guilty a few years ago before Mr. Yardley, and
convicted. She has been guilty of many robberies similiar
to the present, and was in the practice of entering the
dwellings of the poor in their absence and taking up any
thing that fell in the way.

room while she was in another part of her house, and upon
returning saw the prisoner leaving the room with a shawl
under her arm, which she had removed from a chair. Mrs.

stable arrived. The shawl was valued at 38. 6d., and the

membered, have given their sanction to the publication of
a Coventry badge, the production of Messrs. MuHoney and
Johnson, of that city (who have presented £25 to the fund),
with a view to its being worn on April '23. It is expected
that this approval of the badge will ba of great assistance
to the manufacturers of Coventry.
