SURREY SESSIONS, Juin S.

Mary Greenwood, a fine-looking young woman,
aged seventeen, and her mother, .Mary
.Ann Green-
wood, aged forty-five, with an infant in her arms,
were indicted, the former for stealing a large quan-
tity of wearing apparel, and other articles, the pro-
perty of her employer, Mr. John Heasman, oilman,
of St. Saviour's, Southwark, and the latter for re-
ceiving the same, well knowing them to be stolen.
The case presented another instance of the
flagrant offence of robbery by servants, and being
clearly proved, the Jury returned a verdict of
Guilty.
The COURT sentenced the younger prisoner to
seven years' and the mother to fourteen years' trans-
portation.

An agonizing scene ensued after the convicts
were conveyed from the bar.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

The Honourable Mrs. Portman yesterday
attended to prosecute the driver of the cabriolet,
1,121, Richard Ayres, for furious and negligent
driving, whereby her carriage was injured.j
From the evidence of Thomas Tett, the footman,
and Greeves, the coachman, it appeared that the
carriage was passing along Warwick-street, Golden-
square, on Tuesday, when the cab, which was being
driven at a furious rate, came in concussion with it,
and the shaft struck the off-side door-pannel, and
broke the lamp. The cabman tried to pull up, but
from the speed with which he was going he found it
impossible.

A bill from the coachmaker proved the damages
at 8/.

The defendant was convicted in the penalty of
51. (the highest penalty) for the damage, and 11. for
furious driving, with the costs.
LAND SHARKS.—Among the night-charges
brought before Mr. CHAMBERS, was one John
Thompson, a hardy weather-beaten tar, who had
been found taking a comfortable " snooze" under
the columns of the Quadrant the overnight, and
who, when questioned by the policeman, gave as-his
reason for choosing such an airy berth, that he was
" regularly stumpt," and without one copper to
jingle against another.
Mr.CHAmsEßs—Well, John Thompson, how long
have you been ashore ? Sailor—A week, your
honour ; came home in the 6' Minerver Ingyman,
and got paid off last Wednesday.
Mr. CHAMBERS—HOW much did you receive ?
Sailor—Twenty-five pounds, your honour.
Mr. CHAMBERS—Twenty-five pounds ! What,
spent all that money already ? No, your honour ;
didn't spend a dump of it ; got cleaned out the
same day by a land-shark.
Mr. CHAMBERS—Come, tell us how it occurred.
Sailor—Why, d'ye see, your Honour, arter I'd got
my money at the Ingy-house, and was bearing right
a-head for Westminster, a young hooman came
alongside, and I ax'd her if she know'd of ever a
steady lass as liked a can of flip and a sailor ? Well,
your Honour, she said as how she was just the girl
to suit me, and sowe claps in all sail, and turns into
a house somewhere in Lambeth, where we got pretty
well drunk. When I Bits up in the morning, I
found my messmate had cut and run, and taken my
jacket with her.

Mr. CHAMBERS—And how much money did she
leave you ? Sailor—Elevenpence half-penny, your
Honour.

The Sailor told the story of his loss with the
greatest unconcern.
Mr. CHAMBERS—What do you mean to do ?
Sailor—Get a ship next week, and take another trip.

Mr. CHAMBERS—And come back and lose your
earnings in the same way. Well, get away, and be
more careful for the future.

The tar made a step or two out of the dock, but
returned, and stood twirling his " nor-wester" with
a sheepish air.

Mr: CHAMBERS—Why don't you go away ?
Sailor—Ax pardon, your Honour, but I'm so
" hard up" that I ain't had a mouthful of bakker or
biscuit these twenty-four hours. It's " hard
lines" to be obligated to ax for a copper or two from
strangers 7

Mr. CHAMBERS finding the " tact" which the
sailor was upon, ordered him a trifle from the poor-
box.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday Thomas Bendy, alias Old Bandy, the
father of the Westminster comers, was charged with
coining.—The prisoner was committed for trial.
