POLICE INTELLIGENCE,---Nov. 28.

WORSIIIP-STREET.-11lr West, from the offices of
Messrs Shaon and Roscoe, solicitors to the Society for the
Protection of Women and Children, accompanied by In.
spector Bywater, ci the N division, applied to Mr Ellison
for a warrant to apprehend a woman for abduction.

Mr Wost;said his application was for a warrant against
a woman named Sarah Wilson, for abducting a little girl,
seven years old, from her mother's house at llomeriou, un-
der.circutustauees *Mn • •• • •‘, • •

_ Mil • Li last the the society prosecuted at this court a Frenchman, named
Jules ltimbaut, residing at Hackney, for an indecent assault
upon his servant, girl, a young woman named Emily Allen,
and the prisoner was committed for trial at the Central Cri-
minal Court, bail being accepted for his future appearance,
Before the trial could come on the case was removed, on the
motion of the prisoner, into the Court of Q aeon's Bench,
where it had remained ever since until Saturday. In the
interval various offers had been made to the mother of the
girl to settle the matter, but had been positively refused by
her. A few weeks ago a woman, who called herself Mrs
Wilson, took a cottage named Percy Cottage, at the corner
of the street that Mrs Allen lived in. This woman con•
trivad to introduce herself to and get somewhat intimate
with the prosecutrix and her family, and took another of
the girls, named Ellen, 11 years of age, into her service. A
few days after that Mrs Wilson endeavoured to prevail upon
Mrs Allen to allow her to take her younger girl, Clara, only
seven years old, with her for a trip into the country, as it
would do her a deal of good, she said ; but Mrs Allen re-
fused, and though a suggestion was made for the elder girl
Emily, the prosecutrix in the case against Rimbaut, to ac-
company the child, no assent whatever was given to it. On
Wednesday morning, at half-past 7 o'clock, while Mrs
Allen was absent from home, the woman Wilson called at
the house, and took away both Emily and Clara, as she said
to go into the country, and with a promise to their sisters
to bring them both back in the evening. They were not,
however, brought back in the evening, and nothing more
had been heard of them till Friday, when Mrs Allen re-
ceived the following letter from Mrs Wilson, which, as
might be seen, oontained no indication of the place they
had gone to, beyond the two postmarks of Lewes and New-
haven, which were stamped on the envelope
"Thursday Morning.
"My dear Mrs Allen,—l hope you will reconcile yourself
about Emily and little Clara; she is enjoying herself, and
she seems very happy. I cannot say what day I shall
bring them back to you, for Mr Wilson is going to give us
a few days' enjoyment in the country; it is therefore very
difficult to say when he will let me return, but I shall buy
tbem a few things they will want. In the meantime send
us 'word. They are safe. Ellen must have a treat when
we return.—l am, dear Mrs Allen, yours truly.

"Mrs WILSON.
"Mrs Allen, Cobden-terrace, King's-road' Homerton.,'

No information had been obtained about either girl since.
With regard to the young woman Emily, it was, of courseg
impossible to saywhether she was stopping awayvoluntarily
or was kept away; but with regard to the child Clara, her
mother, a poor widow, was in the deepest distress and un-
certainty, and his application was for a warrant to be placed
in:the hands of Inspector Bywater, who knew both children
and would be able to follow them. The society had made
enquiries at the house where the woman Wilson had been
living, and the landlady said she had come there without
reference, remained a few weeks only, and that she knew
nothing whatever about her. These facts had been put into
the form of affidavits, which had been read by Mr Sergeant
Parry in the Queen's Bench, and the Chief Justice had in
consequence adjourned the case till the next sittings. Under
these circumstances, he thought no time should be lost in
obtaining a warrant, as Newhaven was on the way to the
Continent, where the girls might be taken, and the person
charged was a Frenchman.

Mr Ellison asked whether it was not somewhat pretna.
lure to apply, and whether, after ail, the letters might not
be meant as a blind.

Mr West thought not. It was sufficient, he apprehended,
to establish the offence it the child had been taken away,
without the consent of the parents, for a single day. These
offences were generally committed by men, but ho thought
it made no difference that in this case the offender was a
woman.
Mr Beard, who was present on other business, mentioned
a ceso in point before Alr Arnold at Westminster Court,
where a woman named Emmett was charged with taking
away a girl who was a gtiod singer, and for whom she had
got engagements at Music halls in the provinces.
Mr Ellison granted the warrant,which was placed in the
hands of In Spector Bywater.
