POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

NUMEROUS ROBBERIES BY A. WELL••RNOWN TRIBZ.-.
Ellen Costello, a wretchedly clad woman, and who, from
her appearance, has evidently been much addicted to drink
described as a hawker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with stealing three jugs and smashing a pane of glass, of
the value of 1,5, at the shop of Mr. John Baptiste Romer,
china dealer, 302, Oxford-street; with stealing two fowls,
of the value of 95., from the shop of Mr. Hill, poulterer, 4,
Grosvenor-street ; and with stealing a tea kettle, of the
value of 35., from the shop of Mr. John Cutting, iron-
monger, 27, Oxford-street.
Mr. Henry Hughes, assistant to Mr. Romer, said that
about a quarter to six the previous eNening the prisoner
picked up two glasses from a tray at the shop door, and
asked the price. He told her, and as the price did not satisfy
her she put them down again, and while doing so he ob-
served the three jugs, which he knew to be Mr. Romer's
pro?erty, secreted under her shawl. He took them from
her, and told her to go away, when she became very
nburrivo, uzid tuunalied a plate glass of about the value of
£5. On her being searched at the staticn two fowls, a tea-
kettle, some meat, some plates, and parsnips were found in
her possession, the whole of which she said was her pro-
perty.

Mr. Ditchett, assistant to Mr. Cutting, proved that the
kettle was the property of Mr. Cutting, and tie was able to
identify it by the shop mark on it.
Mr. George Hill. poulterer, of 4, Grosvenor-street, iden-
tified the two fowls as the property of his father.
Mr. Tyrwitt asked whether the owners of the plates and
the meat and parsnips were present.

M`Bean, 332 A, said they had not been able to find them.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—very much against the wish of the pri-
soner, who wished the matter settled at once—remanded the
prisoner for a week.
STREET OUTRAGE.—AIfred Rose, a young man who
said he was a hammerman, living at Southwark, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows :
From the evidence of Frederick Allen, a tailor, living in
Queen-street, Haymarket, it appeared that at one this
morning he was passing through Sydney-alley, Leicester-
square, when the prisoner and another man came up to
him, and while the other grasped his throat, the prisoner
gave him a violent blow in the eye with his fist, and then
made a snatch at his steel watch chain which he broke. He
(prosecutor) was then dropped on the ground, the men ran
off, but he got up and called " murder " and "police," and
pursued the prisoner and caused him to be taken into
custody.
A. constable said he saw the prisoner run from Sydney-
alley into Leicester-street, and stopped him, when the pro-
secutor gave him in charge for the assault, having at the
time marks of a severe blow in the eye.
Prisoner said the prosecutor had made a mistake, and
said there was no reason why he should have assaulted the
prosecutor.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the case assumed a more serious
aspect than he (prisoner) seemed to think, and he should
remand him for a week.
