BOW-STREET:-(THIS DAY.)

James Odell was charged with being concerned, with Others
not in custody, in sealing a purse. from William Taylor, a
painter and glazier.
The prosecutor stated that shortly before two o'clock, on
Sunday morning, he was standing in Great Wild-street,
Drury-lane, with a friend, when the prisoner, and ten or a
dozen other persons, whe were passing along the street, sur-
rounded him. One of them caught hold of his arms, to
prevent him from resisting, while the others occupied them-
selves in searching his pockets. The prisoner took the purse
from his pocket and handed it to one of his companions, who
immediately made off with it. The prisoner disappeared in
some of the alleys leading out of Wild. street. Witness went
direct to the station-house, and there he found the prisoner
in the hands of the police.
A policeman in pirate clothes said that he, together with
another constable was in Wild-street at the time, and saw
the attack on the prosecutor, but, on account of the great
disparity of numbers, they deemed it most prudent to look en
at a distance. They saw the prisoner and his companions
going into some of the narrow lanes in that neighbourhood,
but the prisoner returned in a few minutes, and they, after a
long chase, took him into custody and brought him to the
station-house where they met the prosecutor, who immedi-
ately identified him. He was well known to the police.
The prisoner denied his identity.
Mr. JARDINE, at the request of an attorney who attended
for the prosecution, remanded the prisoner till Thursday.

MARLBRO-STREET..7-.(THIS DAY.)

Sarah Ann Shearman, a fashionably-dressed, good-look-
ing female, about IS or 20 years of age, described on the po-
lice charge-sheet as residing at No. 46, North-street, Sloane-
street, Chelsea, was charged with the following daring
robbery :
James Brown, police-constable, No. 142 of the F division,
stated that between four and five o'clock on Saturday after-
noon last, he was with police constable Jesse Jeupes, No. 146
of the C division, on duty in plain clothes in Regent-street,
and saw the prisoner looking at some shawls in the doorway
of the shop of Mr. Chat les Nicholls, No. 72, shawl-dealer and
fur. ier. A cluster of boas were beside the shawls. The
prisoner took hold of one of them, as if to look at it, and then
giving it a pull, drew it from the other, and one end fell on
the ground, she keeping hold of the other, and drawing the
boa after her as she was going away from the shop. Wit-
ness was running across the way to her when she caught
sight of him, and, leaving the boa on the pavement, about
two feet from the shop-door, set off running along Air-street.
She was instantly pursued, but, owing to the extreme fleet-
ness with which she ran, she was nut not stopped until she
had reached a considerable distance.

The prisoner said that she certainly bad been looking at
the shawl and some boas hanging at Mr. Nicholl's shop-door,
but that she was not aware of one of the latter having fallen
at her feet. _ _ . . .

The prisoner was committed to take Ler trial.
The constables have ascertained that the address she gave
is correct. She has resided there for nine mouths, but bow
she obtained her living is not known.

The bankruptcy of the influential house of Emanuel
Brothers, of Hauover-square, which recently created such
general surprise in the gold and silver trade and threatened
so much calamitous distress to many of its members, is, it is
confidently reported, likely to disappoint that anticipation.
Mr. Joel Emanuel, the father of the bankrupts, whose reputa-
tion for wealth is akin to that for his benevolence, has, we
are inforrhed, most handsomely intimated his intention of
giving a sum that will prevent the ruin that must have
attended the majority of the creditors, who are working
men, in the ablence of such well-timed kindness.
