CRtTELROBBERY.-A very well dressed young woman,
who gave the name of Amelia Jennings, was placed at the
bar, charged with stealing 30s from the person of Emma
Goodman.

The prosecutor, who is the wife of a carman, said that on
Saturday night she went to Mr Miles, a pawnbroker. at the
corner of the Marlborough-road, Chelsea, to take out some
articles which she had there pawned. She took her purse
out of her bosom, and gave the tickets from it to the pawn-
broker's man, and then placed the purse, containing 30s, in
her pocket. While she was waiting for her property to be
selected from the warehouse she remarked that the prisoner,
without any excuse, kept pressing close upon her, and re-
monstrated with her for doing so. When her property was
produced she found her purse and money had been stolen
from her pocket, and she immediately gave the prisoner into
custody.

In describing the coins of which the £1 les consisted,
prosecutrix said that it was a fearful loss to her, as it was
the joint earnings of her husband and brother for the week,
upon which they alone had to subsist.
The magistrate inquired how many persons there were in
the box where prosecutrix and prisoner were standing.
Presecutriz replied that they were the only two persons
in that box from the time prosecutrix gave tha tickets out
of her purse and missed it. Directly she exclaimed "My
purse is gone," the prisoner recommended her to go home
and look for it, although that, of course, would be useless.
finding nearly £2 upon her, but not in the coin described by
the prosecutrix.
In reply to a question from the magistrate, prosecutrix
said that, directly after she had missed her money, a tall
woman came and spoke to prisoner, and might have received
anything from her.
Prisoner denied all knowledge of the purse and money.
She was remanded until Wednesday, the magistrate con-
senting to take good bail if she could procure it.
