POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A TICKET-OF-LEAVE MAN AT WORK AGAIN.—TWO
men, named William Steed and George Gavin, the former
a ticket-of-leave man, wero charged with attempting to
steal a watch of the value of £5, from the person of George
Paddy, a bootmaker, of Hatwood-street, Camden Town.
Henry Dawson, 301 A, while in company of Shrives,
526, last night, about 11 o'clock, saw the prisoners in the
Haymarket. They walked as far as Charing-Cross, and
stopped a gentleman and spoke to him. the gentleman
walked on, and the prisoner then went back to where Daw-
son first saw them, and afterwards to Regent-street, when
they stopped in front of the prosecutor, and asked him the
way to Soho-square. Dawson walked towards the pri-
soners when he saw the prosecutor seize them and call out
" Give me my watch—police." The prisoner Steed having
while speaking to prosecutor drawn his watch out of his
pocket. Dawson then took Steed into custody, and Gavin
was taken by Shriver ; and while on the way to the station
Steed, by a sudden jerk, released himself from the hold of
Dodsworth, 333 A, to whom he had been given over, and
struck him several violent blows in the mouth with his fist
evidently with the intention of making his escape.
Mr Tyrwhitt said he should send the prisoners for trial,
and perhaps a bill might also be preferred against Steed for
the assault.

Steed, in a most impudent tone, said that perhaps he
should havo to prefer e bill against the police.
Mr Tyrw hitt asked the prisoners whether they wished to
say anything ?

Steed replied " It ain't no use."
Mr Tyl whitt committed the prisoners for trial.
Dawson said that Stead had undergone penal servitude
and was at large on a ticket-of-leave.

The prisoners, who are well dressed men, are, from their
determined demeanour in court, evidently very dangerous
fellows.

ALLEGED EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A CONFIDENTIAL
SERVANT.—Reuben West, having thelmanagement of the
business of Mr Edward Pratt, hatter, itc„ of 37, Old Bond-
street, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stealing 80
hats and 4 umbrellas of the value of 450, the property of
his employer.

The evidence was far from perfect, and Mr Tyrwhitt re-
manded the prisoner for a week, and consented to take bail
for the prisoner's future attendance.

WESTMINSTER.

A CHILD CUTTING HER THROAT,—A very comfortably
clad, well-grown child, named Sarah Keefe, was charged
with cutting her own throat with a razor.

Mrs Ann Baldwin said that she lived at 0, Wimpole-
mews, Cavendish-square, and was at present taking charge
of her sister's house, 29, Stanley-street, Pimlico, as she had
gone with her husband into the country for a few days. The
prisoner was their servant, and having heard that her
aunt was gone out of town on Saturday, began crying
about it, and nothing would pacify her. She was
much distressed in mind apparently on both Sunday
and yesterday morning, and declared that sho felt herself
so miserable that she did not know what to do.
Mr Salle—Did she say what made her feel so miserable?
Witness—She said she was thinking about her dead
mother, and now her aunt had gone away.
Mr Selfe—When and how did she cut her throat ?
Witness—Yesterday, at dinner-time, and with a razor.
I heard her go upstairs just before, and I called her to come
to her dinner, and receiving no answer I sent my little boy
up. When ho got into her bedroom he saw her kneeling
on the floor, with her head upon a chair, and the blood was
oozing from her throat, which was cut. My little boy came
down very much alarmed, and I sent immediately for a
doctor. Witness was here so overcome that she fainted,
and was obliged to be removed from the court,
William King, 257 B, said that at half past four o'clock
yesterday afternoon he was sent for to the house, and the
two razors he produced were given to him. He found the
child with her throat cut, and a doctor had been there and
dressed it.
Mr Selfc—Where has she since been ?

Witness—After taking her to St George's Hospital I
conveyed her to the workhouse, where they kept a watch
over her unql this morning.

Mr Selfe—Has the child neither father nor mother ?

A private of the Fusileers said that her father and
mother were both dead. Her father had been dead 10 years
and the mother 2 years, the latter being deranged. Wit-
ness's aunt then took charge of the child and got her her
present situation for her,food and clothing.
Mr Selfe—What is her age ?
Witness—Between 12 and 13.

Mr Selfe—Let her be taken back to the workhouse for
the present, and I should like to see the medical officer there
when he has examined h(r.

LEAVE MAN IN SHADIVELL.—John Wilson, a ticket of
leave man, was charged before Mr Paget with entering the
house No. 52, High. street, for the purpose of committing
a robbery.

Sergeant Cox, K 45, stated that yesterday evening, in
consequence of information, he wont to the house in ques-
tion, w ith another constable. When he got in he saw the
prisoner, who instantly tried to conceal himself, Witness
at the same time saw another man, who, upon observing
witness, ran upstairs. He was followed by witness into a
room. When he got into it he jumped through a window
on to the roof of a shop, and then leaped off to the ground,
a depth of about 20 feet. Witness went after him through
the window, but no further. He then ran across a garden
and was attacked by a dog. He. however, got away. The
prisoner was taken into custody by another constable.
Police-constable 4SB A, who took him into custody, pro-
duced several skeleton keys, a jemmy, a pallet, which were
found on the prisoner.

Mr Paget asked if the prisoner was known, when the
constable stated that he was a ticket-of-leave man, and that
he had received six years' penal servitude, and had only
been out of prison two months. He believed it was the in-
tention of the prisoner to get into the rector's house, which
is adjoining.

The prisoner:was sent for three months to the Meuse of
Correction,
