POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING ROBBERY IN HYDE - PARK. - Two young
women, named Sarah Jones and Mary Johnson, who both
gave false addresses, were brought up for committal,
charged with the following robbery in Hyde-park :
From the evidence of Thomas Watson, a messenger, re-
siding at 1, William-street, Knightsbridge, it appeared
that, he was passitig through Hyde-park, when Jones spoke
to him, and he immediately missed his purse. He accused
her of taking it, when she denied doing so, but on his
taking hold of her hand the pursa fell on the ground. The
prisoner Johnson then came up and hustled about him,
and he then gave both the prisoners in charge. The purse
had contained 17s. 6d., but on picking it up a half sovereign
was gone.

Evidence being given by a constable of the A division
that the ?risoners were together the same night, they re-
served their defence and were committed for trial.

IMPORTANT APPREHENSION OP A BURGLAR.—Frede-
rick White, 40, a labourer, in the employ of the North
London Railway Company, at their factory in Bow, and
dwelling at 12, Violet-street, Decons-lane, Bow-common,
was brought before Mr. Wcolrych, charged with being
concerned in the commission of several burglaries and
robberies and attempting to enter the residence of Mr. J.
M. Sundley, in the New Glove, Bow-road, with the inten-
tion of committing a felony.

Mr. Sundley, a gentleman of property, stated that his
windows and doors were all secured and fastened
in the usual manner last night. This morning, at 1 o'clock,
he was disturbed by the springing of a police .constable's
rattle and a loud knocking at his door. The servant of the
house opened the door, and a policeman entered the house
with the prisoner in custody. He did not know the man,
and was not aware that he ever saw him before. His house
was broken into and plundered some time ago, and the
property was not recovered.
George Atkins, a police .constable, No. 4d3 K. said—At
one o'clock this morning I was in the Bow-road. I heard
some glass break. I could see no other constable near, and
spoke to two gentlemen who were passing, gave one of
them my rattle and told him to spring it directly, and
reached the yard of Mr. Sundley's house. I got over
several walls, and when I reaohed the wall which separates
the garden of Mr. Sundley's house from the adjoining one
there was a peal from the rattle as I directed, and at the
same time I saw the prisoner crouching down in
the area of the house, close to the laundry
window. I told him he had better not move,
but he did move, and ran to the other end of the area
and got over the rails. I jumped down and seized him. I
examined the laundry window. A large pane of glass had
been cut out, and the frame of the window chiselled up.
I found this chisel (producing one) on the window ledge.
The aperture in the window was large enough to admit
the body of a man. I searched the prisoner, and found
two knives and 2s. ltd. upon him.
Mr. Walter Kerressey, inspector of the K division of
police, said that several burglaries and robberies of gentle-
men's houses in the neighbourhood of Bow and Bromley
had taken place in the course of the last few weeks. Among
others the residence of Mr. Jas. Dunstan, Mornington-road,
Bow, in the parish of Bromley St. Leonard, was burgle-
Homily entered and robbed, and a good deal of valuable
property carried off. He went to the dwelling of the pri-
soner, No. 12, Violet-street, and there discovered much
valuable property, and pawnbrok rs' duplicates relating to
silver plate and ladies' and gentlemen's wearing apparel,
and other property, stolen at various times from the resi-
dences of gentlemen which had been entered and plundered.
Among the articles found secreted in the prisoner's dwel-
ling were a lady's ivory companion, a pair of silver sugar
tangs, and a beautiful cameo brooch, which were identified
by Mr. Dunstan as his property. He also found an old-
fashioned gold watch under the pillow of the prisoner's
bed. The inside case of the gold watch was inscribed with
the initials, P. A. P. J. and K., with 18 over, No. 4,112.
Inspector Kerressey then produced a good deal of valuable
property, the pawnbrokers' duplicates relating to more, and
requested a remand.
Mr. Woolryoh remanded the prisoner for a week.
