Mr. Cockie defended the prisoner.
The case has been very recently before the police
magistrate, and the prosecutrix was submitted to a
rigid cross-examination by Mr. Cockle, but she came
out of the trial with her evidence in chief totally un-
shaken.

Other evidence of a confirmatory nature having been
given, Mr. Cockle addressed the jury on behalf of the
prisoner, the Chairman summed up, and the jury
returned a verdict of Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN sentenced the prisoner to imprison-
ment with hard labour for 12 months.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Emilll Young, a young girl, was charged with
having contemplated felony, under the following cir-
cumstances :
Mr. R. Laidlaw, No. 34, Howland-street, said the
prisoner was left in charge of his house yesterday.
On his return home with his wife, about nine o'clock,
the prisoner pretended to be in a great fright, stating
that a man in a blouse had broken into the house, had
knocked her down, had gone up stairs, and, after re-
maining some time, had come down with some things
under his arm, with which he had left the house.
Witness went up stairs and found a quantity of wear-
ing apparel and other property lying about the room.

A police-constable as en
made, but nothing was missed. From the strange
character of the prisoner's story, and from finding her
petticoat in the room where the robbery was said to
have occurred, it was suspected that the prisoner had
trumped up the statement. The prisoner accounted
for the petticoat being is the room by saying that she
had a struggle with the thief, and that he tore her
petticoat off. Her gown also was torn open in the
struggle.
Police-constable llarris took the girl into custody,
as suspicion was strong against her. There was
another charge against her.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rowland, of Great Titchfield-street,
said the prisoner was in her employ a short time ago
as errand-girl. She gave the prisoner a sovereign to
get change. The prisoner absconded with the money,
and she had not heard anything of her until yes-
terday.
Mr. BINGHAM said the last case was clear enough.
He should discharge the prisoner on the first case, and
commit her for trial on the last.
WORSHIP-STREET.
John Hanbury, 12 years of age, was charged with
having burglariously entered the premises of Mr.
Isaac Lester, a tradesman, in Keate-street, Spite'.
fields, and stolen a timepiece, watch, and numerous
other articles, and the prisoner's father, James Han-
bury, a scaleboard maker, and Sarah Bethell, a woman
with whom he cohabited, were charged with having
feloniously received the whole of the property, well
knowing it to have been stolen.
The prosecutor stated that the younger prisoner
was formerly an errand-boy in his service, but was
discharged some months ago, and had since lived with
the other prisoners, who were tenants of his, and re-
sided in one of the opposite houses. His premises
were broken into by burglars as long ago as the 18th
of June last, when, after carefully closing the house,
he went to bed about one o'clock in the morning,
but was aroused about six h ours after with the
intimation that his door was open, and upon going
down stairs found that an entrance had been effected
from the cellars into the shop, and that the latter had
been completely ransacked and plundered. He first
missed a timepiece off one of the shelves, the counter
was strews over with tobacco, the remains of a quan-
tity the thieves had carried away with them, after
emptying a number of jars; about five or six pounds
weight of butter had been taken from one of the tubs,
a quantity of biscuits, and even bread had been taken
from the windows, a silver watch had been stolen
from a table drawer in the parlour, and a pair of
sugar-tongs and a number of silver and plated spoons
and other articles had been carried away from other
parts of the premises. It was quite manifest that the
robbery must have been effected by some one surrep-
titiously obtaining admission to the cellars, and there,
concealing himself until the family had retired to rests
but, though immediate inforihation of the robbery was
forwarded to the police, no clus to the perpetrators
could be gained until seven and eight o'clock on the
preceding evening, when he accidentally discovered
four of his candlesticks, which had been also stolen,
in the possession of a dealer in the Hackney-
road, and six more of his candlesticks in the possession
of another dealer, in George-street, Shoreditch. On
