POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STEALING A CAPTAIN'S WATCH.-NOTORIOUS THIEVES.
—Emily Blomfield and Ellen Davies, alias Williams, alias
Gorman, both young women, were charged, before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, with stealing from the person of Captain Isaac
King, who is also an adjutant of volunteers, and resides at
Park-road, New Wandsworth, a gold watch of the value
of £lO.

The prosecutor said—About a quarter past 1 o'clock
this morning I was going along Piccadilly, when one of the
prisoners got in front of me, and the other by my side
They asked me to accompany them home, but I told them
that I would have nothing to do with them. They then
turned sharply round, and as they did so I felt a touch at
my side. After going about two yards, a woman asked me
if I had lost anything, and I then found my chain was
hanging down in front of me. The woman told me that
the two women had gone up Great Windmill-street. I
spoke to police-constable 330 A, and he went after the pri-
soners and brought them both back. My watch was
afterwards found down the area. The whole affair did not
take a minute, as I would have nothing to say to the
women.

Joseph Kettlewell, 330 A, said—On the prosecutor tell-
ing that me he had been robbed of his watch, and that the
women had gone up Great Windmill-street, I went after
them, and, seeing a constable, asked him if he had seen
two women pass. He said he had, and I went with him,
and took the prisoners into custody.
William Watson, 299 A—ln consequence of what the
last witness told me I wont after the prisoners, and heard
Blomfield say, " Sling (throw it away) it, Nell." The pri-
soners were then standing over a grating at the corner of
Archer-street, and directly after I saw the watch fall from
Davies' hand down the area. I afterwards picked up the
watch, which had been broken at the bow in the usual
manner, in the area.

Wm. Gordon, 33 C—Davies was convicted of felony in
October, 1861, a previous conviction being then proved.
Sho was sentenced to four years' penal servitude, and had
only been out of-prison a month, having eight months more
to serve. I have known her as a thief for eight years, her
last name being Gorman. I believe the other prisoner has
also been convicted.

Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners for trial.
The prosecutor asked that the case might be settled by
the magistrate, but Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could not 'deal
with them, as they wore well-known thieves.
