POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ABUSE OF KINDNESS.—Mrs. Collins, who was charged
at this court a few days ago with assaulting her husband,
Mr. Sydney Collins, of 31, Little Pulteney-street, St.
James's, well known as an " artist in colouring black eyes,"
was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant.
When before Mr. Tyrwhitt, last week, the defendant
pleaded so hard for forgiveness that her husband was in-
duced to intercede on her behalf, and Mr. Tyrwhitt con-
sented to take her own recognisance, she at the same time
solemnly promising not to assault or annoy her husband
again. As soon, however, as she was set at liberty sbe
again commenced her persecution, abusing him in the
most outrageous language, and putting him in bodily fear.
To escape her violence he was obliged to barricade him-
self in a room, and even then she made a desperate attempt
to get at him by breaking the door.
Mr. Tyi whitc asked whether she had been charged at the
court before last week.

Mr. Collins said that ho could scarcely say how many
times his wife had been charged with assaulting and annoy-

ing him.
Defendant made a rambling statement, but did not deny
the charge against her.
_ .

Mr Tyrwhitt ordered her to find two bail in the sum of
£lO each to keep the peace towards her husband for six
months.

THAMES.

A VERY BAD DAUGHTER.—Sarah Ann Gilbert, a girl
about 17 years of age, was brought before Mr. Woolrych
charged with robbing her father.
Martin Gilbert, a carman of No. 2, Sharp's-buildings,
Minories, said his 'laughter had repeatedly plundered hini
and all attempts to reclaim her had been made in vain•
She took money out of her mother's portemonaie and
squandered it among idle and dissolute girls. She cut up
blankets and sold them at rag shops for a tenth part of
their value. There was a sum of 4s. 10d in his pocket
when he went to bed last night, and when he got up this
morning it was gone. She ran out of the house when he
missed his money. He went after her and overtook her,
but he did not find any money. He was quite certain
the money was taken by his daughter and she
did not deny it. The girl had for a long time
given him much trouble, and his losses by her de-
predations were very considerable. She was never ill used.
Her mother, sister, and aunt had tried to reform her, and
were unsuccessful. A lady at Dalston had kindly and hu-
manely taken the girl under her protection, and given her
good advice, and endeavoured to make a better girl of her.
The prisoner was obdurate, and would not promise to
amend. He was very sorry to prosecute his child, and he
only did so in the belief it would save her from absolute
ruin.

Mr. Woolrych asked the prisoner if she had any answer
o make to the serious charges against her.
She made no reply, and appeared very sullen.

The ➢lagistrate said this was a very sad case, and re-
manded the prisoner to the Clerkenwell House of Detention
fora week.

SHAMEFUL PLUNDER OF A SAlLOR.—Daniel Tenison
a porter, was brought before Mr. Wootrych, charged with
stealing £ll from a sailor named James Thompson.
The prosecutor's account of the transaction was some-
what confused. He was paid off 17 or 18 days ago, and re-
ceived £l2 12s. 5d., consisting of a £lO Bank of England
note, two sovereigns, 12s. in silver, and sd. in copper. He
saw the prisoner and another outside the Shipping-office,
and they said to him, " Have you been settled with ?"
He answered " Yes, I have." They told him not to
mind the tailors and landlords, of whom he had clothes,
board and lodging, and led him into a carriage, the door of
which was open. He hesitated about going into the car-
riage. They pushed him in, and he was taken to various
places, and had drinks on the way. He became
insensible, and when he picked himself up he found that
he had been bruised, kicked, and stripped of all his money
and some of his clothes.

In cross-examination by Mr. Gomm for the prisoner, the
seaman said he did not know where the prisoner left him.
He was in half a dozen houses. He had no boots, no hat,
no coat whoa he came to himself. He could not retain
anything on his slomach, and s'as ill for three days and
three nights after he was robbed. He changed a £lO note
in a respectable house. He owed a man named Gilbert
money, but did not pay him. He asked the prisoner to
procure him a nice girl. He was not then aware he was
going to be robbed and halt murdered.
A police constable said the sailor bad been beaten most
awfully by some one.
The sailor—l say the prisoner and another beat me and
robbed me. Yesterday I met the prisoner and he asked me
to drink with him and how I got on, and when I met with
a policeman gave him into custody.
Mr. Gomm elicited from the prosecutor that he had no
recollection of what had taken place after he became intoxi-
cated.

Mr, Woolrych said the unfortunate sailor had been
plundered of all his hard earnings and scandalously ill-
used. He wished he could ascertain by clear evidence the
perpetrators of such an atrocious outrage. It was a pity
that mariners did not avail themselves of such excellent
institutions as the Sailors' Homes in West-street and the
East India-road, instead of trusting themselves to crimps,
touters, and other harpies. There was not evidence enough
to justify him in committing the prisoner, and he must be
discharged. The police could take him again if additional
testimony could be obtained.
