EAST SURREY.

Yesterday the revision of the list of voters for the
Kingston district of East Surrey was commenced at the
Court-hou.e, Kingston, before Mr. S. C. Fishe, Barrister.
Mr. Russell attended for the Liberals and free-traders, and
Mr. Meymott for the Conservatives. The district includes
the parishes of Long Ditton, Ham, Hook, Kew, Maldon,
Petersham, and Richmond. The above parishes were
disposed of yesterday, but very few objections on either
side (two Conservative and nine Liberal) were main-
tained ; most of them being mere objections of form for
the sake of corrections and amendments. In several
cases, the persons objected to applied for their expenses,
but the Revising Barrister refused to grant them, as it
did not appear that the objections were frivolous or
vexatious. The list for the parish of Kingston will be
taken at the sitting this day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
THAMES,

Mary Kirwan, a notorious thiPf, who has been thrice
convicted of felony, and Daniel O'Leary, were brought
before Mr. Ballantine; the former charged with stealing
one half-crown and three shillings, the moneys of Peter
Curvis, a cordwamer, residing in Broadwall, Blackfriars-
road ; and the other with feloniously aiding and abetting
the said Mary Kirwan, after she had committed the
felony, he well knowing she had done so.
It appeared from the evidence, that on Saturday night
the prosecutor was passing over Tower-hill, and upon
reaching a place near where the sentinels were upon duty,
he was accosted by the prisoner, who caught hold of his
arm, put her arms round his waist, and asked him to
give her something to drink. He told her to go away,
but she kept her hands and arms about him, and he
found one of her hands immediately afterwards in his
waistcoat pocket, in which two half-crowns and four shil-
lings were deposited. He saw the edge of one of the half-
crowns emerging from the pocket, and exclaimed " You
are robbing me." She laughed and ran away. Curvis
instantly missed one half-crown and three shillings
from his pecket, and ran after the woman, who was
soon overtaken close to the Woolpack:public-house, at
the Tower-hill end of the Minories. Curvis had no
sooner laid hold of the woman than O'Leary ran
out of the public-house, and said, " What are you
doing with my wife?" Curvis replied, " She has
robbed me ; she has taken away a half-crown and 35."
O'Leary said that would not do for him, and after strik-
ing the prosecutor dragged the woman away from him,
and she immediately retreated into the public-house.
Curvis ran after her and got hold of her again. O'Leary
pulled her from him a second time, and she got away.
Curvis then gave O'Leary into the custody of a City
policeman, named Flashbourn, No. 522, and said he had
rescued a man who had robbed him. O'Leary said he
had only protected the woman from the violence of Cur-
vis, who was about to strike her, and he pulled her away.
The policeman fortunately knew O'Leary, and locked
him up. On Sunday night the woman was apprehended
by Orams, an active police-sergeant, No. 18 H, close to
the spot where she had committed the robbery on the
preceding night, and where she was on the look-out for
other victitns. It was stated that similar robberies had been
of frequent occurrence on Tower-hill, and that a horde of
dissipated women were constantly waylaying men on their
way home after sunset. A former conviction against
the woman was proved. She was tried and found guilty
of robbery at the Clerkenwell aeesiona.bi February, 1845,
