take was to proceed at once to the parish authorities
of Kensington, ant to state to them that she was
unable to maintain the child. The parish authori-
ties would, perhaps, take the child into the house if

she would give a small sum from her wages, or they
would offer to take herself and the child into the
house. If they would not take the child alone, then
he was afraid the mother must also give up her ser-
vice and go into the house to. However, he could do
no more than recommend the mother at once to pro-
ceed to Kensington.
The mother promised to do so, and all parties left
the court.

Susannah Brinton was charged with having robbed
her master, a gentleman named Gregg, residing at
No. 20, Great Marlborough-street.
Mr. Gregg said he had occasion to leave town re-
cently. On his return, amongst other things, he
missed a quantity of shirts and a coat.
Some of the property was found at a pawnbroker's,
pledged by the prisoner.
She was fully committed.

William Fortune, a boy of about fifteen years of
age, was charged with stealing nine sovereigns and a
gold watch, the property of Robert Mitchell, Wind-
mill-street.

The prosecutor said the boy was in the service of
his brother, a saddler, who carried on business at No.
35, Windmill-street. On Thursday week last the
boy got into his bedroom, and broke open a desk, out
of which he took nine sovereigns. The prisoner then
went into the parlour and took his gold watch, and
immediately decamped.
Charles Herbert, a companion of the prisoner's,
proved that the prisoner had, after committing the
robbery, treated him to the play. Afterwards they
went to Chatham together, where they stayed until
the prisoner had spent, and been robbed, of all his
money. The watch had been pledged for thirty
shillings.

The prisoner admitted his guilt, and was sent for
trial.

W ORSHIP- STREET.
Eliza London was placed at the bar for final exa-
mination, charged with having stolen a variety of
costly wearing apparel, a silver watch, and other
articles, the property of Mrs. Ritchie, a milliner, in
Poole-terrace, City-road.
The prosecutrix stated that about three weeks ago,
being in immediate want of a servant, she affixed a
written notice in her window to that effect, and the
prisoner soon afterwards entered the shop and offered
herself for the situation. The manners and appear-
ance of the applicant were so plausible and prepossess-
ing that witness agreed to receive her at once into the
house, and postpone the necessary inquiries into her
character till the following day. The prisoner set
about the performance of her household duties with
the most praiseworthy alacrity, but in the course of
the same afternoon it was discovered that she had ab-
sconded, after carefully selecting the best part of her
mistress's wardrobe, which, together with her watch,
she had carried off. Immediate information of the
robbery was given to the police, but nothing► was
seen of the prisoner for upwards of a fortnight, when
her mistress, at length, accidentally met her in the
street dressed out in the stolen finery, which the wit-
ness immediately recognised as her own, and gave
her into custody.

Police-constable Grant, G 62, produced nearly
thirty duplicates, which he had found at the house
of the prisoner's mother, and relating chiefly to male
and female wearing apparel, the suspected produce of
other robberies, to which no clue could be obtained.
It was also proved that the prisoner had been already
convicted at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to three
months' imprisonment, for plundering the house of a
gentleman at Hoxton, on the first day she entered his
service. The prisoner had been subsequently in cus-
tody for other offences, and was well known to the
police of the H division, as being one of the lowest
class of prostitutes perambulating the \Vhitechapel
district.

On being asked if she wished to say anything,
The prisoner carelessly shook her head,
And the MAGISTRATE ordered her to be committed
for trial.

William Pullen, a carter in the service of Mr.
Coleman, a dairyman at Hoxton, was charged with
having, by reckless and furious driving, caused the
death of Elizabeth Partridge, a child eight years
of age.
It appeared from the evidence that as Mr. Elliott,
a surgeon in Finsbury-pavement, was passing through
Old-street-road on the preceding afternoon, he heard
a sudden cry of alarm, and at the same moment
observed a heavy cart, driven by the prisoner, and
proceeding at a rapid rate in the direction of Hoxton.
The deceased child was crossing the road at the time,
and before any one had time to avert the calamity,.
she was struck down by the horse, and the wheel of
the cart passed over her body. The poor child was
immediately picked up and conveyed, in a dying state,
to the house of her father, a tradesman in the neigh-
bourhood, to which the witness also proceeded, but
she expired a few minutes after their arrival. The
prisoner was, in the meantime, given into the custody
of Sergeant Brannan, to whom he admitted that he
had been driving at a brisk pace, as he was pressed for
time, but expressed great regret at the occurrence,
which he declared to be purely accidental. In his de-
fence the prisoner repeated the same statement before
the magistrate, and was remanded to await the result
of the inquest.
