POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STEALING VALUABLE SHAWLS.—Ann Carey and Mar-
garet Connor were charged with stealing five French shawls
of the value of £35 from the shop of Mr, Edgley, 88, Oxford-
street-, shawl warehousemen, &c,

Thomas Grant, an assistant to the prosecutor, deposed
that on the previous evening the two prisoners entered the
shop, and Carey said she wanted to look at some dark
mantles. He took them then upstairs and showed them
several, but none would suit, Connor then called him
to the other end of the room, and while he was speak-
ing to her he saw through a glass Carey put five shawls
from off the counter in the show room under her shawl,
He afterwards asked one of his fellow assistants whether he
had removed any shawls, and at that moment Carey dropped
the shawls at her feet. On taxing the prisoners with steal-
ing the shawls, they said "it was a mistake,'' and that ho
must have knocked them down.

In answer to Mr. Yardley, the witness said the prisoners
on entering the shop said they wanted a cheap mantle.
Nathan Leech, 324 A, proved taking the prisoners into
custody, and said he found the shawls lying at the feet of
Carey. He wished for a remand that he might make in-
quiries respecting them,

Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoners for a week.
"RESPECTABLE PERSONS" COMMITTED FOR ATTEMPT-
ING TO PICK POCKETS.—John Logie, Maria Logie, John
Blanc, and James Webb wore charged with attempting to
pick pockets in Oxford-street.

Sergeant White, 16 D, and King, 76 D, ptoved seeing the
Prisoners in Oxford-street the previous afternoon attempt-
ing to pick the pockets of ladies looking in the windows of
Messrs. Grant and Gask, silk mercers, and other trades-
men in Oxford-street. On taking the prisoners into cus-
tody the man Logie exclaimed, " It is a piece of insolence
to stop respectable persons like us in the street."
Blanc said all he had done was to walk with his hands
in his own pockets.

Logie (the man) said that at the time the officer Eaw him
outside Grant and Gask's he was trying to get rid of his
wife (Mario Logie), as he was going to present a piece of
music to a young lady who his wife was rather jealous of.
He could assure his worship it all arose from a misunder-
standing on the part of the officers.

Watts, 181 N, said he had known the Logics for 10 years
as companions of thieves. They were both convicted of a
robbery at the Agricultural Hall in 1862, and committed
for three months each, and he believed the man had then
been convicted before.

Sergeant White said he believed Blanc had been con-
victed for a robbery at the Pantheon Bazaar.
Barns, the gaoler, said Webb had been before at the court
and he believed for picking pockets.

Mr. Yardley said it was clear the prisoners had gone to.
Oxford-street for the purpose of picking pockets, and com-
mitted them for three months each.

THAMES.

A DESTRUCTIVE GREEL—Joseph Pietro, a Greek
seaman, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with
breaking a large pane of plate glass in the window of the
Rose and Crown public-house, in Ratcliffe-highway, last
night.

It appeared from the evidence of Peter Schut, a young
man, the barman and waiter at the Rose and Crown, that
the prisoner was passing, in and out of the house, for two
hours, last night, He was intoxicated and very noisy, and
was repeatedly requested to desist and go home to his
boarding house. He took a stone from the inside of his
dress and threatened the barman, and struck a woman.
At last he was ejected from the house, and immediately
broko a large pane of plate glass valued at £2. The land-
lord of the house said he was not insured.

Mr. Woolrych ordered the prisoner to pay a flme of £3
and £2, the value of the glass, and, in default, six weeks'
imprisonment. A few minutes afterwards the magistrate
said he had recoasidered the matter. He would suspend
his judgment until this evening. He directed Turner, 32
H, who had charge of the case, to lot,k after the woman
who had been struck by the prisoner. Ho also directed
Roche, the gaoler, to keep the prisoner in custody until the
evening.
The magistrate translated the whole of the evidence to the
prisoner in the Italian language with the greatest fluency,
and the prisoner replied to him in the same language. Mr.
Woolrych also delivered his judgment first in English and
then in Italian. 'We believe this is the last day Mr. Wool-
rych will preside in this court, to which he was appointed
in March, 1851. A great proportion of the sailors and
witnesses who resort to this court aro foreigners, and the
absence of Mr. Woolrych, who is conversant with 10
different languages, will be much felt. He is the most use-
ful and able magistrate that ever presided in the Thames
Police Court.

Mr. John Paget, of the Norfolk Circuit and Liverpool
Sessions, whu was called to the bar in 1838, and who has
been appointed to succeed Mr. Woolrych, was on the bench
this day. It is understood that he will officiate as a " ma-
gistrate of the police courts of the metropolis" at this court
on Monday next. The appointment has given much satis-
faction. Mr. Paget has had extensive practice in criminal
matters. The Liverpool business is similar to that which
is the staple of this court.

Another vacancy has occurred in the magisterial bench
by the election of Mr. Corrie, magistrate of the Bow-street
Police Court, to the office of City Remembrancer yesterday.
