BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A woman of bad character, named Mary Ann Jones,
was charged, by policeman F 60, with being drunk, and
creating a disturbance in the Strand at a late hour last
night.
The prisoner, in defence, said that the policeman had
" a grudge" against her, and was in the habit of follow-
ing and watching her off his beat. Last night he fol-
lowed her us far as the Haymarket, aud, as she returned,
continued to follow her till she arrived at her own
lodging where he took her in custody without the slight-
est grounds. He spoke to the constable who was on
duty at the National Gallery as he passed. It was then
one o'clock in the morning.
Policeman A 85, who was on duty at the National
Gallery at one o'clock this morning, having been sent
tor, said that he had never, to his knowledge, seen F 60
before, and that no policeman had spoken to him during
the whole time he was on duty. He had seen the pri-
soner before, but did not see her last night or this
morning.
The prisoner, after some equivocation, said that the
witness was the policeman to whom F 60 had spoken.
The MAGISTBA.TE of course refused to entertain the
charge against the policeman, which he said was suffi-
ciently answered by the evidence of A 85, and by the
prisoner's own prevarication. His Worship fined her
20s. for disorderly conduct.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
A showily-dressed female. who gave her name at the
station-house as Rebecca Smith, but whose alleged place
of residence in Plummers-row, City-road, was found to
be false, was placed at the bar before Mr. Greenwood,
charged with stealing a cash-box containing 351. in gold
and 5/. in silver, and a cheque for 71. 10s., from the shop
of Mr. George Grey, draper and mercer, 35, Upper-
street, Islington.
It appeared that this morning, about eight o'clock,
the prosecutor opened his shop, and brought down his
cash-box, which he laid upon a desk at the end of the
counter, previous to his locking it up in the till. In a
few minutes afterwards the prisoner and a well-dressed
man entered the shop together, when the female called
for some trifling article, while the man walked up and
down the shop for a few minutes, and then went out
in a moment afterwards. One of the apprentices
came to the shopman who was serving the
prisoner, and told him he thought the gentleman who
came in with her had stolen the cash-box. He was im-
mediately followed, but no trace of him could be found,
and on questioning the woman as to who or what he
was, she denied all knowledge of him, although she ulti-
mately acknowledged that the man had spoken to her
in a joking way when he saw her looking in at the
window, and then followed her in ; but she said she
never saw him before in her life, and she persisted in
this statement before the magistrate.
Mr. GREENWOOD said it would be necessary to have
the evidence of the apprentice, and ordered the case to
be adjourned to Monday for that purpose.

DEATH OF ►SIR HENRY CAItDEN, BART.—This
baronet died suddenly at his residence, near Templemore,
county Tipperary, on Tuesday last. He had reached his
89th year. He leaves a numerous family, including a son,
John -Carden, who succeeds to the family liouours and estates.
A,4 vices from Riga of the 18• t inst. quote the ex-
change without alteration, the rate being 40d. For some
dai s tine mild weather had prevailed, which, should it be
prolonged, would warrant an expectation of open water by
the end of the mouth.
