POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--Rov. 28..

_.,,...___________
I WORSHIP-STREE f.__ —Mr West, from the offices of
Messrs Shaen and Roscoe, solicitors to the Society tor 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 tor abduction.
Mr Wost,said his application was for a warrant against
a woman named Sarah Wilson, fur abducting a little girl,
seven years old, from her mother's house at Homer;on, un-
der circumstances which were somewhat peculiar. In Jan.
last the society prosecuted at this court a Frenchman, named
Jules Rimbaut, 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 ease was removed, on the
motion of the prisoner, into the Court of Qaeen'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 MIS
Wilson, took a cottage named Percy Cottage, at the corner
of the street that Mrs Allen lived in. This woman con-
trived 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 sirs 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 Rimbant, 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, contained 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 ua
a few days' enjoyment in the country; it is therefore very
difficult to say when ho will let me return, but I shall buy
them a few things they will want. In the meantime send
us word. They aro safo. Ellen must have a treat when
we return.—l am, dear Mrs Allen, yours truly.
"Mrs WILSoN.
"Mrs Allen, Cobden-terrace, King's-road' llomerton."
No information had been obtained about either girl since.
With regard to the young woman Emily, it was, of course,
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 bad made
enquiries at the house where the woman Wilson had been
living, and the landlady said she had coma thole 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 warrent, as Newhaven was on the way to tho
Continent, where the girls might be taken, and the person,
charged was a Frenchman.

Mr Ellison asked whether it was not somewhat premas
ture to apply, and whether, after all, the letters might not
be meant aa a blind.
Mr West thought not. It was sufficient, he apprehended,
to establish the offence if the child had been taken away,
without the consent of the parents, for a single day. These:
offences were generally committed by men, but he thought
it made no difference that in this case the offender was V.
woman.

Mr Brard, who was present on other business, mentioned
a cese in point before l‘lr Arnold at Westminster Court,
where a woman named Emmett was charged with taking
away a girl who was a good singer, and for whom she had
got enE,Pagent:nts at Music halls in the provinces,
Mr Ellison granted the warrant,which was placed in the
hands of Inspector Bywater.

NOV. 29, 1864. LONDON, TUESDAY,

The address of Sir J. KAY SIIUTTLENTOSTII tO
the meeting at Bacup could hardly fail to be listened
to with deep attention and interest. As High
Sheriff of the county, and as one of the most pro%
minent members of that band of noble workers who
have done such good service during the cotton
famine, Sir JAMES would always be welcome to a
Lancashire audience. The people and the history
of the district are familiar to him—he knows their
wants, their characteristic, their tone of thought
an d feeling. He can, too, look back through a good
