POLICE---THIS DAY.

_
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
FRAUDS BY A SRA➢I LAUNDRESS.—Ann King, of 2,
Smith's-place, Somers-town, calling herself a laundress,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with obtaining linen by
fraud, it being alleged that other cases will be preferred
against her.

Mrs. Mary Harvey, a widow, and a dressmaker, residing
at 38A, Howland -street, Fitzroy-square, said that about
three weeks ago the prisoner called on her and said she
came from " Madame's, 47, Newman-street, for the linen."
She told the prisoner to call on the Wednesday, but she did
not call ; and directly after the prisoner left the proper per-
son called, and she (Mrs. Harvey) then discovered that a
fraud had been attempted upon her. Yesterday the pri-
soner again called and said that " Madame " had sent her
from Newman-street for the linen. The prisoner, on her
telling her that she was never sent by Madame for the
linen, attempted to get away, but Mr. Hart, a gentleman
residing in the house, having come to her assistance, the
prisoner was detained and given into cusi.ody.
Madame Theresa Pelle, 47, Newman-street, laundress,
said she never sent the prisoner for the linen.
Prisoner said she met a woman in Tottenham-court-
road, who told her to go to Mrs. Harvey's and ask for the
linen. She did so, but never mentioned any name or
street.

Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week at the
request of Sergeant E. Davis, 11 E, that other charges may
be preferred.

SOUTHWARK.

PICKING POCKETS.—An elderly woman, named Julia
Leuster, was charged before Mr. Burcham with attempting
to pick pockets last evening.

Police-constable 178 M said, that while on duty the pre-
vious evening he had been informal that the prisoner had
been attempting topick pockets, and accordingly he watched
her. At the corner of Wallis-street he saw the prisoner put
her hand into the pocket of a young lady, and she then ran
away. He took her into custody, but the lady had disap-
peared, and he had been unable to trace her out.
The prisoner denied the charge, and said she was merely
standing at the corner of the street when the policeman
took hold of her and brought her to the station.

It did not appeal that the prisoner was known to the po-
lice, and she was remanded till Monday.

MORE PICKING POCKETS.—A veryyoung man, decently
dressed, who refused to give his name or address, but who
subsequently said that his name was John Taylor, and that
he resided at 5, Meeting-house-lane, North-street, Brighton,
was charged, with another party not in custody, with steal•
ing a purse containing 6s. 2d., the property of some person
unknown.

Carpenter, the Inspector of the Brighton line, said that
last evening when the six o'clock train was leaving the
station he saw the prisoner with another man come out of
the booking-office, and they went round to the South-
Eastern Railway station. His suspicions being excited,
he instructed one of the police-constables on duty to watch
them. He lost sight of them for some time, but afterwards
saw them coming out of the station with a crowd of persons
who had just returned by the excursion train. He saw the
other man offer the prisoner a purse, which he refused. He
then attempted to seize the latter, who flung the purse,
now produced, at his feet and ran away. He then took the
prisoner into custody, and he had since communicated with
the different station-masters on the line.

The prisoner, who denied the charge, said that he had
no business or trade, was remanded till Saturday.
