POLICE INTELLIGENCE—THis DAY.

A FEMALE TICKET-OP-LEAVE CONVICT.—Mary Ann
Bennett, aged 34 years, who has been a thief from infancy,
was brought before Mr. Lushington at the Thames Police-
court on remand charged with violating the conditions of
a ticket-of-leave. It appeared from the evidence of Police-
constable Mackay that the prisoner was convicted of
a robbery from the person in 1865 and sentenced to five
years' penal servitude. On that occasion a previous con-
viction for felony, and a sentence of seven years' transpor-
tation, was proved against her. Her sentence did not ex-
pire until the 6th October, 1870, and she received a com-
mutation of her sentence on the 26th of August,
1869, and she became an inmate of the Eagle
House Reformatory, where she remained some time.
After her discharge the lady superintendent of the refor-
matory sent her the Government gratuity to which she
was entitled. The prisoner had been leading a most dis-
solute life ever since she left the reformatory, and was the
constant associate of thieves and loose women. A few
weeks since she was committed for trial, but by a lucky
chance acquitted, since which she had been in a continual
state of drunkenness. The prisoner had neglected to re-
port herself every month as required by her ticket-of-
leave, or even to furnish the police with her address. She
was committed for two months, and told by the magic.
trate that the Home Secretary would most likely revoke
her licence.

NEAPOLITAN MENDICANTS.—Giuseppi Fusco, Marco
Bono, and Angela Pomba, Neapolitans, were charged
before Mr. Newton, at Marlborough-street Police-court,
by Horsford, of the Mendicity Society, with begging.
From the evidence of Horsford it appeared that yester-
day evening he saw the prisoners in Park-lane and the
neighbourhood. The elder prisoner, Fusco, was playing a
kind of bagpipes, and the others were jumping about, and
they all begged of ladies and gentlemen, and
received money, and were then taken into custody.
The master or padrone of the prisoners was told that if
the prisoners were brought to the court again they would
be sent to prison, and he regretted he could not send him
(the pardon) to prison for trafficing in the begging busi-
ness he appeared to have embarked in. On promise being
given that they should be sent to their own country they
were discharged.
