POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE,

ROBERT ET A SERVANT.—Jane Smith, 30 years of
age, a servant, was charged with robbing her master.
It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Jackson, 2s,
Camomile-street, that the prisoner came to lodge with
her last week ; and, whilst there, baying no money nor
food, she supplied her with it for three days, charging
her ls. a day, and which she paid for afterwards Ly
giving witness two duplicates and is. It was subse-
quently found that the articles pawned belonged to Mr.
Butler, of Houndsditch, with whom she bad lived as a
sery ant.

There being some doubts about the stealing,
The Lord Mayor committed the prisoner for six weeks
to the House of Correction fur illegal possession.

GUILDHALL.

Mom POISONING.—A decent servant-looking young
woman was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman
Eagleton, charged with attempting to clrnmit suicid,.
Police constable 120 deposed that on Saturday nigh t
he saw the defendant sitting on the steps of the Scotch
Chapel, in Coleman-street. On going up to her, he
noticed she put her tongue out of her mouth like a per-
son suffering from thirst, and he asked her what was
the matter. She replied she had taken poison. She
gave the witness a phial bottle marked "poison," and
he then took her to Guy's Hospital, where she was
attended to by the house-surgeon, but the laudanum
she had swallowed was of so weak a nature that no ap-
prehension was entertained of its result. She bought
threepennyworth of laudanum, she said, at a druggist's
shop, but she refused to say where. On her was found
two thimbles and two keys (one that of a beer or cider
tap).

The defendant, whose demeanour in the box was very
respectful, declined to make any statement as to her
name, relations, or occupation, because she did not wish
her father to know what she had done.

Mr. Alderman Eagleton addressed her in conciliatory
terms, and informed her that as eho declined to give her
name or address, it would be his duty to remand her
from time to time, until she made the necessary dis
closures, for until that was done he could not liberate
her. It would be necessary for him to have some gua •
rantee that the offence should not be repeated before
he discharged her. He, however, would give her an
opportunity of communicating what was required to the
officer in private, and she was allowed to retire with the
officer for that purpose.
Up to the time of our report leaving, she had refused
to give the required information.
