MARYLEBONE.

A poor woman namfid Bowler, was brought up in cus-
tody, and placed at the bar, charged by police constable
32 E, who stated that on the previous afternoon, about
three o'clock, he found the prisoner, with her basket, at the
corner of Goodge-street, and conveyed her to the station-
house.

Mr. RAWLINSON— Why is she brought here ; what harm
has she done ? Constable—The inhabitants complain,
Sir, of these women being about the streets.
Mr. RAWLINSON—I dare say they do, and sometimes
very properly so ; but why is not the attention of con-
stables directed to other nuisances of far more serious con-
sequences.

T►,e prisoner, after a caution, was discharged withou
payment of the office fee.

SENDING A THitEATENING LETTER.--James Reeves,
a gardener, was yesterday placed at the bar for re-exami-
nation, charged with sending a letter, threatening to fire
some premises at Hammersmith.
Mr. GREGORIE, addressing the prisoner, observed that
he was much indebted to the prosecutor (Mr. Bird) for bis
kind recommendation. There was quite sufficient evidence
to send before a Jury, and he would be subject on convic-
tion to transportation for life. He should now therefore only
call upon the prisoner to put in good bail for his future be-
haviour. The prisoner was locked up in default.
Four newsvenders, residing in this district, yesterday
appeared on summonses, obtained against them by Sto-
well, the common informer, for vending a weekly un-
stamped publication, the printer's name not being on the
first and last page.
Mr. Wise, the solicitor, pointed nut the informality in
each summons, the county in which the offence was alleged
to have taken place bein4 omitted.
Mr. GREGORIE considered the objection was fatal to the
informer, and dismissed the whole four summonses.
Wm. Thomas was charged with robbing Samuel Howe
of IL 2s. 6d. in the King's Arms, Orchard-street, West- '
minster.

The prosecutor, who is a hard-working mechanic, stated
that about half-past five o'clock on Sunday morning
he went into the tap-room of the King's Arms pub-
lic-house, and partook of a pint of beer. He was
then about to leave the room, and was making his
way through 20 or 30 men, who had assembled there,
when the prisone'r adopting a manoeuvre common amongst
bad characters, threw his arms round him, and said,
He shan't fight." He was then surrounded, and his
left-hand trousers' pocket, in which was a sovereign and
half-a-crown, was cut off. He called for assistance, and
the waiter turned him out of the room. He appealed to
the landlady, seated what had occurred, and she took him
by the shoulders, and was in the act of thrusting him out
of the house, when he called for the police, who imme-
diately came in and took the prisoner into custody. The
landlord of the house was in the bar at the time, but
never offered to interfere.

W. Luff proved the apprehension of the prisoner, and
said that he knew him as the associate of thieves, and the
men in whose company he was be believed to be of bad
character.

Mr. GREGORIE expressed a wish to know the characters
of the persons who were in the house at the time of the
robbery, as he understood it was one of very bad repute.
He also directed a summons to be issued, to compel the
attendance of the landlord on Thursday, to which day he
remanded the prisoner.
It was not above a month since a constable and prosecutor,
who went to this house to look for a thief, were dreadfully
beaten, and no assistance was offered by the landlord.
