Prisoner—l am sorry I took the medals, but I was driven
to do so by poverty. 1 had not broken my fast all day, and

THAMES THIS DAY.

EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE.—Elizabeth Armstrong, a
vicious-looking girl, about 17 years of age, was brought
before Mr. Selfe, charged with breaking windows.
A few days since a boy was brought before Mr. Selfe,
charged with breaking a pane of glees in the skylight over
a smithy in the occupation of Mr. John Griffiths, a smith
and augur maker, of No. 61, Penny-fields, Poplar. The
mischievous urchin admitted his fault, and he was locked
up until five o'clock in the evening, and then discharged,
on a promise made by his father to .pay for the damage.
The money was never forthcoming. Since the boy was
discharged, stones, brick ends, and other missiles,
have been continually flung at the skylight,
and many have passed through and struck Mr.
Griffiths and his son. Other persons have been placed
in jeopardy. All the efforts of Mr. Griffiths and his family
to discover the perpetrators of the mischief proved fruitless
until last night, when a boy, the son of Mr. Griffiths, and
Sibley, a police-constable, 264 K, were on the watch and
saw the prisoner mount a tub in the yard behind the house,
No. 1, Elizabetli-oottages, overlooking the smithy, and '
throw a large piece of brick at the skylight. It went
through a pane of glass and struck Mr. Griffiths, who was
then workingat his forge, upon the head. The prisoner after
committing' this diabolical act rushed into her home, and
was taken, immediately afterwards by Sibley. It also
appeai:ed that In the course of the last ten days
133 panes of glass had been broken in the skylight, and
other damage committed. A large basket filled with stones,
bricks, pieces of tile, and other substances, were found in a
water closet in. the yard close to where the prisoner was
seen to throw the brick. In the earlier part of the day when
the boy Griffiths was on the watch the prisoner said to him, ,
" You young - if you watch me I'll out your - eyes
out of your head."

Mr. t-elfe, after a two hours investigation, said he was
satisfied of the prisoner's guilt, and she had been guilty of a
nasty ill-conditioned spiteful act, and also personally injured
Mr. Griffiths, and planed the lives of many persons in great
peril. Ho sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for ten days.

ROBBING A SOLDIBIL—Harriet Green was charged with
stealing two war medals from John Dixon.
The prosecutor, a private in the Ist'Battalion of Scots
Fusilier Guards, quartered at St. George's Barracks, said—.
Last night I was owning along King-street, Covent-gar-
den, when the prisoner came up to me and asked me some
question. I made her no answer, when she snatched the
two medals I wore off my breast. I called for the police,
and shortly afterwards the prisoner was taken into
custody.
Police-constable 169 F said, about 20 minutes to two, I
heard the cry of " Police," and the prisoner ran past me.
I was informed that the soldier had been robbed of his
medals. I then went after the woman, and came up with
her in James-street. I told her she was accused of steal-
ing the medals, and she then stooped down near some rail-
ings in the street. I procured a light, and then I found the
two medals, which I produce.
