POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

SHOP ROBBERY.—John Driscoll was placed at the bar
charged with stealing a valuable rug.
John Merce, assistant to Mr. Burgess, a pawnbroker in
Long-acre, said the prisoner entered the master's ehop and
wished to pledge the hearth rug (produced) for 9s. Seeing
it was quite new, and of a much better quality than he
would require, he was induced to ask some questions about
the rug. The prisoner said he gave £1 for it, and also that
he supposed he eould indulge himself it he felt disposed.
He refused any further information, and a policeman was
sent for, and he was then given into custody.
Police-constable, F 99, said he took the prisoner to the
station-house, but he refused to eay where he got the rug
from.

Mr. Marsh, upholsterer, 13, Terrace, Kensington, said
the rug in court was his property, it was worth £2. He
had not sold it, and it must have been stolen from his
shop.

Mr. Henry (to prisoner)—What have you to say to the
charge.

Prisoner—Oh, I got nothing to say. What's the good,
He was then fully committed for trial.

ROBBERY.—Elizabeth Hogan, a servant, was again
placed at the bar charged with stealing a gold watch and
chain, the property of the landlord of the Golden Cross
public-house, King-street, Lag-acre,

The prisoner was employed as a casual servant, and the
watch was seen safe about half an hour before she went
out. She never returned to the house, and afterwards pri-
soner was seen driving about in a Hansom cab with some
other females.
Committed for tzial.
