POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
CL ERKEN WELL.
Samuel Hurley, Mary Hannah Hurley, alias Smith,
and Samuel Hurley, their son, well dressed and re-
spectable looking persons, were charged with having
committed several ingenious robberies.
It appeared in evidence that on Wednesday evening
last the female prisoner and her son went into the
shop of Mr. George Dixie, draper, of High-street,
Islington, and purchased one handkerchief, and as
she was leaving the premises she purloined two more,
with which she made a hasty retreat. She was in-
stantly followed and given into the custody of Dubar,
253 N ; but it was found that she had as dexterously
parted with them as she had stolen them. She,
however, was given into custody ; and on being
brought to this court she was remanded, in conse-
quence of two new coats having been found in her
possession for which she could not account. The
officer soon afterwards discovered that they bad been
stolen from the shop of Mr. Moss, Goswell-street.
The male prisoners subsequently called to make in-
quiries after the woman, and on Sunday morning
Sergeant Brennan, one of the detective force belonging
to the N division, with Dubar, followed them in
disguise, and eventually took them into custody at
their residence, Norfolk- street, New-cut, where
several other coats were found, together with nume-
rous duplicates referring to wearing apparel.
Joseph Loader, foreman to Mr. Moss, said that on
the afternoon of Wednesday, he was standing at his
master's door, when the younger prisoner and his
mother accosted him, the latter remarking, " Why,
you are the young man I used to buy my son's coats
from ;" adding, that she was then going into the City
to purchase one. Having assured her that he could
deal with her as cheap as any one else, she, with her
son, entered the shop, and after he had tried on up-
wards of sixty, he selected one, and paid a deposit of
2s. 6d. on it. Two of the coats produced are his mas-
ter's property ; but he did not know they had been
stolen until the officers showed them to him.
Mr. George Dix, clothier, of Hampstead- road, iden-
tified one coat that had been taken from his stock
under precisely similar circumstances.
The prisoners were fully committed on the two last-
named charges, the woman and her son for stealing,
and the other for receiving, and on other charges they
were remanded.
They declined making any defence.
LAMBETH.
Henry TVenman a stick manufacturer, was placed
at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of receiving
and disposing of a watch and gold chain, well know-
ing them to have been stolen.
It will be recollected, that in the month of October
last, a young woman named Mary Ann Turflt, who
had been committed from this Court, was found
guilty, on apparently conclusive evidence, of stealing a
silver watch and gold chain, and sentenced to six
months' imprisonment and hard labour at Brixton
House of Correction. Nearly a month after her con-
viction, and while undergoing the punishment awarded
for her alleged crime, a little urchin, the son of the
prosecutrix, made a full confession that he was the
thief—that his uncle, Henry Wenman (the present pri.
soner), had disposed of the property for 60s.' and that he
(the lad) had spent the money. The lad, whose
name is James William Ward, in consequence of this
confession, was apprehended, and subsequently pleaded
guilty at the Old Bailey, when he was sentenced to
seven years' transportation. Since his conviction the
lad has made some disclosures to the chaplain of
Millbank Penitentiary, involving his uncle in the
alleged guilt of receiving the silver watch and chain
with a guilty knowledge, and keeping 2/. ss. of the
money received for them himself, and this circum-
stance led to the prisoner's apprehension.
The first witness called was Mrs. Harriett Ward,
sister to the prisoner, and mother to the youth who
has been sentenced to transportation, who deposed
that on the 9th of October last her father had placed
with her a silver watch and gold chain, to get a glass
put into the former ; and on the 11th, two days after,
she met her brother, the prisoner, and asked him

in her hand, when the prisoner *laid hold of and at-

some difficulty in doing so, she requested him to
desist, telling him it belonged to her father, and with
a vulgar expression he desired her to take it
