MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

PICKPOCKETS AT THE LONDON CRYSTAL PALACE.--
Mary Ann Groes, 5, Baker-street, Commercial-road East,
and Joseph Purcevill, address refused, but who was said to
be the husband of the female prisoner, were charged with
being concerned with a female, not in custody, in stealing a
purse and contents from Mrs. Pratt, of Leinster-gate, at
the London Crystal Palace, Oxford-street.
Mr. Edwin Coxthorpe, surgeon, of 6, Regent place,
Clifton, Bristol, and 11, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square,
said he was induced to watch the prisoners and a female
who were standing at the corner of Great Portland-street,
and saw the women leave the man and go into the London
Crystal Palace. He followed them from stall to stall and
saw them make several attempts to pick ladies' pockets,
Groes being the acting person and the other standing near
at the time. Being determined to watch closely ho kept
close to the women and distinctly saw Groes put her hand
into a lady's pocket, and withdraw it with something in it-
Witness stepped up t') the lady and asked her whether she
had lost anything, and she replied, " Yes, my purse."
He then told the lady to go to the office and wait for
him, and went back and saw the other female, caused
her to be detained, but, in consequence of the lady not
going to the office the woman was allowed to go. He then
went outside into Great Portland-street, and saw the male
prisoner standing at the same place as he had seen him be-
fore, and saw Groes, whom he had lost sight of, join him
and walk with him down Oxford-street. He then followed
til he saw a constable, when he gave them in charge.
A constable proved seeing the female prisoner put her
hand into her pocket and throw away some silver, and 14s.
6d. was picked up. On the male prisoner £6 10s.
was found. He had made inquiries and found that the
man lived at the address given by the woman, that they
were husband and wife, and that they lived at a brothel.

A lady in court said that she had her pocket picked yes-
terday afternoon, at the London Crystal Palace, of £4 in
gold, and some silver. _ _

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, having
cross-examined the witnesses,
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners for a week.

WESTMINSTER.

THIEVES' VOCABITLARY.—John Williamson, William
Baxter, and Charles Hale, three flash-looking fellows,
were charged with loitering about the streets with intent to
commit felony.
Sergeant Hornblower, 24 B, said that at nine o'clock
last night he and another officer were on duty in plain
clothe,. in Eaton street, Pimlico, when they saw the three
prisoners walking up and down scanning the houses.
Witness and the other officer crossed over to the corner of
Ranelagh-street, immediately after which the prisoners
came towards them, when Hale suddenly touched William-
son's arm and said " Slops."
Mr. Paynter (with marked surprise)—Said what P
Witness said " Slops."
Mr. Paynter—And what in the name of goodness does
that mean?
Witness—It means us.
Mr. Paynter—Means us. I don't understand you.
Witness—" Slops" is what they call the police now
amongst thieves.
Mr. Paynter—ls it indeed ? It is the first time I ever
heard it.
Witness—And then he used another slang ward, upon
which all three went away as fast as:they could up Gros-
venor-place, and we followed till we met a policemen in
uniform and then we took them into custody.
Mr. Paynter—Do you know them ?
Witness—Well, they are the daily associates of thieves.
Mr. Paynter—How long were they walking up and
down as you describe ?
Witness— About a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes.
There was a burglary committed in Ebury-street only two
or three nights ago, and finding these men loitering about,
we of course knew that they meant no good.
Mr. Paynter—Where do they live ?
Witness—At a low lodging-house in Westminster, well-
known as a complete den of thieves.
