POLICE .INTELLIGENCE.--May 10.

MANSION-HOUSE—Sarah Brett, a young
married woman, was charged with having attempted
to drown herself in the Thames at London-bridge.
The prisoner had thrown herself into the water in
a fit of passion, having had a few words with her
husband in the morning.
Alderman Rose told her she was liable to be im-
prisoned for two years, but he would discharge her.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Elizabeth Wright, a
young woman, was charged at the instance of the
Post-office authorities with causing wilful damage
to the contents of a letter-box. The prisoner had
been caught pouring water into a post-box in St.
John's-wood, whereby the letters were injured.
Fined 20s, and costs.

MARYLEBONE,—Arthur Walters and Henry
Bryant were charged with stealing several articles
of value from the house of Mr. Renshaw, of
Finchley New-ros d.
They were seen by a policeman to go into the
front garden of the house under the pretence of
selling mushrooms, when one of them got into the
dining room through the window, and stole several
valuable ornamental articles. The policeman fol-
lowed them till he met with assistance, and then
took them into custody after a desperate resistance.
Both prisoners had recently come from penal ser-
vitude.
Committed for trial.

SOUTHWARK.—John Wilson was charged
with being concerned with others in stealing £2OO
from David Fitzgerald.
The prosecutor, in March, 1859, met the prisoner
in Oxford-street, who entered into conversation
with him about America, from which place he had
recently returned. They went together to a public
house, where they met other two men, and after
being with them for some time one of the men said
he had come into a laage sum of money, and would
lend him £2OO if he could show him as much
money himself. Complainant, who thought
they were all honest men, and who was in want
of some money to set him up in business, went
home and procured £2OO, which he showed to the
prisoner and his friends, and he was then induced
by a trick to leave the whole amount with the pri-
soner while he went out for five minutes. The
prisoner immediately escaped by a back door from
the public-house, and he had never seen him again
until the previous day in the Haymarket. The
prisoner upon seeing him ran away, but he remained
in the neighbourhood for some time, and saw him
again, when he gave him into custody. The pri-
soner denied having ever seen the prosecutor before.
He said he got his livelihood by selling horses on
commission, but he could not say with whom he
had dealt. He also did a little in betting.
Remanded till Thursday next.
On Friday last Mary Marshall and Caroline
Praid were accused of robbery in an omnibus, and
were remanded, but admitted to bail.
John Page, hairdresser, of the Westminster-road,
became surety in £4O for one, John Norfolk and
Mr. Pritchard, of Walcot-place, Lambeth, being
sureties for the other. The accused women had
since absconded, and the sureties asked for time to
pay the money and find the delinquents, as they
had not sufficient goods to satisfy the warrants of
distress that had been issued against them.
Mr. Combo said he should not give them a mo-
ment longer, as they must have known what sort of
women they bailed. In default of paying the £4O
he committed Mr. Page to prison for two months,
and the others for one month each.
