THAMES.

SCANDALOUS RODBERY or A. CHILD.—Mary Robinson,
an elderly woman, was brought before Mr Partridge under
the following strange circumstances.

Catherine Neale, the wife of Joseph Neale, of No. 13,
William-street, St. George-in-the-East, said the prisoner
was a tailoress and had been at work for her. On Saturday
last she went with her husband into the country, and left
her child Catherine in charge of the prisoner. On her re-
turn to London she found the child missing, and immedi-
ately proceeded to the station house of the K division in
King David-lane, and found her child there. Her gold ear
rings were missing. The child was wearing them on Sa-
turday when she left home with her husband. The ear
rings were worth 52.

Martha Haslett, of No. 3, Richard's-court, St. George•in-
the-East, saw the prisoner with the child in Bow Cemetery
on Saturday afternoon last. The child was crying, and the
prisoner was taking the earrings from its ears. The prisoner
put the earrings in her pocket, and went to Wood's pawn-
shop in Rateliff highway and pawned them.
The earrings were produced by the pawnbroker and
identified. The prisoner, who is a very dissipated woman,
got drunk with the money she raised on the earrings, and
was intoxicated yesterday when arrested and conveyed to
the station house. The child from whom the earrings were
stolen was seven yeat s old. She was not examined on oath.
Mr Partridge committed the prisoner for trial.
