POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

THE CHRISTY'S TORMENTOR.—Jane Green, a low-looking
woman, was charged before Mr. Knox at Marlborough-
street Police-court with being drunk and behaving in a
disorderly manner in Piccadilly. A constable saw the
prisoner about six o'clock yesterday evening outside St.
James', Hall in Regent-street. She was in a state of
intoxication, had a crowd round her, and was making use of
bad language, and on his telling her to go away she threw
herself on the ground, again made use of language of the
worst description, and was then taken into custody. The
constable said the prisoner was the same woman who was
charged on Monday last with annoying the Christy
Minstrels by shouting through one of the windows whilst
the performances were going on. She was sent to prison
for four days.

AN INCOaRIGIBLE VAGABOND.—John Forbes, a dimi-
nutive lad of 16, with all the habitual criminal cast about
him, was placed in the dock, at the Westminster Police-
court, charged with stealing a shining brush, the property
of Daniel Lynch, a member of the West London Shoe-
black Society. The prisoner, with the most unblushing
effrontery, au'initted the robbery. It was stated that the
prisoner had, from a very early age, been an incorrigible
thief. At 10 years of age he was committed to the Refor-
matory at Walthamstead for five years, but was not long
out before he was again preying upon society, and was at
this court only last week for felony, when he promised to
join his father in Wales. Mr. Selfe said prisoner was a
regular bad boy, and would become one of the dangerous
classes, and was sentenced to three months' hard labour.

SUICIDE AND REMORSE.—Mary Ann Senweder, an un-
fortunate woman, was brought up on remand before Mr.
Lushington at the Thames Police-court, charged with
attempting to commit self-destruction, by cutting her
throat with a knife, at her dwelling, 5, Richardson-street,
Stepney. While she was in a fit of despondency, after a
fit of drunkenness, she began to cut her throat at her bed
side, and was detected by a laundress named Phoebe King,
to whom she stated she was tired of life, and if she was not
given into custody she would rid herself of life another way.
She inflicted a serious wound on her throat. The
wretched woman was still in a state of despondency, and
her mind seemed affected. Mr. Lushington said it was a
very shocking case, and he would remand her for
another week for the purpose of her receiv-
ing the spiritual ministrations of the chaplain
of the Clerkenwell House of Detention. Ellen
Cross, aged 36 years, dwelling at No. 11, Upper
Chapman-street, St. George's-in-the-East, was also charged
with attempting to commit suicide at that modern Tar-
piean Rock, New Gravel-lane swing bridge. She was a
very dissipated woman. She was also remanded.

The recent reduction of fares in the omnibus route
from Wandsworth to the City has largely increased the
number of passengers, and an extra number of omnibuses
have been placed on the route.
