BOW-STREET.

Four women, severally named Julia Devine, Ann
Mingay (alias Lady Mansfield), Jane Owen (alias
Black Jenny), and Ellen Smith were brought up on
remand, charged with having robbed a Mr. Anstice
of 351. Another woman, named Maria Burns, was
brought up at former examinations, but there being
no evidence against her she was discharged.
It appeared that on the night of the 9th inst. the
prosecutor met the prisoner Mingay at a public-
house in Drury-lane, where they drank together for
some hours. The prisoner Smith then joined them,
and they got into a cab, and drove to Newcastle-
court, Strand. It was then daylight. They went to
a house close by, and were then joined by the pri-
soner Owen. Some more liquor was then bought,
and they all remained drinking together for some
hours. Another woman was in the room at the time,
but the prosecutor could not recognise her. After
some time he became insensible, and did not recol-
lect anything more until he found himself in the
staeet. It was then evening. He then discovered
that he had been robbed of two 101. notes and about
15 sovereigns; be immediately gave information to a
constable. He received the two 101. notes in part
payment of a cheque at Messrs. Currie and Co.'s,
banker's, Cornhill.
Charlotte Alexander proved having seen the prose-
cutor at the house, 20, Little Shire-lane, Strand, on
the day in question. She stated that she saw him
lying on the floor, apparently asleep. The prisoner
Owen was then in the room. After that she heard a
noise as of some one being dragged down stairs, and
on looking out of window saw the prosecutor stand-
ing in the court.
Thomas Harrison, assistant to Mr. Foot, linen-
draper, Warwick-street, Pimlico, said that on the
10th inst., about seven o'clock in the evening, the pri-
soners Owen, Devine, and Burns (dicharged), went
to his master's shop and purchased some articles,
which Owen paid for with the 101. note now pro-
duced (No. 19,267). Owen said her name was Stir-
line', and witness wrote that name on the note.
Roderick Lord, assistant to another draper, deposed
to having received the 101. note, No. 19,266, now
produced, from Owen, in payment for some goods.
0 wen wrote the name of Graham on the note.
Mr. Charles Simmons, clerk at the banking-house
of Messrs. Currie and Co,, proved paying the two
notes to the prosecutor on the 9th inst.
Sergeant Bashford, F division, said that on the
evening of the 10th inst. he saw the prosecutor in
Newcastle-court, and in consequence of what he
stated to him he took the prisoners into custody.
Mary Ann Davidson, who keeps a lady's dress
warehouse, stated that on Wednesday, Sept. 10, late
at night, three women, one of whom was 0 wen, went
to her shop and bought a dress and other articles. The
dress was the same which the prisoner Devine now
bad on.
The prisoners all denied having robbed the prose-
cutor.

An attorney who appeared for 0 wen requested that
she might be admitted to bail, but
Mr. JARDINE declined to do so, and fully coin.
mitted them all for trial.
LAMBETH.

James Nelson, a young lad about 16, was charged,
on his own confession, with stealing a watch, the pro-
perty of his aunt.
Police-sergeant 15 D said the prisoner came to the
police station and gave himself up to witness, stating
that be had stolen a watch, and that since then he
could not be easy in his mind. He locked him up,
and ascertained afterwards that his story was true.
Several witnesses were called, who proved that they
had seen the watch in his possession, and that he said
he stole it from his aunt.
The depositions were taken, and the prisoner was
committed for trial.
The Hon. Mr. Norton received 31. on Saturday
morning for the Misses Flora and Helen Eickes, of
18, South Lambeth, whose distressing application ap-
peared in The Sun of Saturday, their chief object,
however, being to obtain situations as governesses in
respectable families.
WESTMINSTER.
George Stutchy, late a carman in the employ-
ment of Mr. Philips, wholesale oilman, Stratton-
ground, Westminster, was charged with extensive em-
bezzlement.

The accused entered Mr. Philips service at Christ-
mas last, and recently absconded, when it was ascer-
tained that he had decamped with several large sums
of money. Information was given to the police, and
the prisoner was captured on Friday evening at
Gravesend, on board the Athenian, emigrant ship,
bound for Port Philip.
Evidence having been given clearly establishing one
case against the accused, the police solicited a remand
for the production of others.
The accused entreated the prosecutor's mercy, and
offered to enter into an arrangement by finding sure-
ties to make good all deficiencies if he would withdraw
the charge, as his wife and an aged mother were on
board the ship, whioh would sail for Australia on the
morrow.

Mr. BRODERIP inquired the number of cases against
;he accused.

Mr. Philips replied that he believed they were not
less then 30, and the embezzlements might amount to
_ _ .

00/.

Mr. BRODERIP remanded the prisoner for a week.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Maria Tucker, 37, Catherine Connell, and Sarah
Homer, 32, three very showily dressed women, were
charged with the following dexterous robbery at the
shop of Mrs. Fullerton Hunt linendraper and
mercer, in Church-street, Stoke Newington, and also
upon suspicion of being engaged in a systematic
plan of shoplifting at numerous other places.
Sergeant Langdon, one of the detective officers of
the N division, said, I was on duty in High-street,
Stoke Newington, about seven o'clock last night,
when my attention was attracted by the suspicious
conduct of the prisoners, whom I had seen privately
conferring together, and lurking about the shops of
various tradesmen, several of which two of them
entered, leaving the third each time, appa-
rently to watch against detection, outside.
After observing them in this way for some distance
I saw Homer and Connell go into the shop of the
prosecutrix, Mrs. Bunton, the prisoner Tucker re-
maining in the street, and in the course of scarcely
two or three minutes they came out again and walked
deliberately down the street, without taking notice of
Tucker, but were followed by her at a distance until
they reached the turning, when all three joined toge-
ther again, and I distinctly saw one of the two who
had gone into the house of the prosecutrix pull a
parcel of some kind from under her shawl and hand
it to Tucker, who instantly thrust it into an apron
she wore, and walked on ahead of /the other two very
