THAMES POLICE. t
Two females of very respectable appearance, wu° -$OlO
their names Elizabeth Stillwell and Elizabeth Sinlins'rgeti,
reside in Vinegar-lane, Back-road, Shadwell, were eh2'per
under very peculiar circumstances, with stealing ticw
eight pounds of coals. niet
Fogg, an inspector of Thames Police, stated that Pe d'

ing evening, each with a bundle, which he found to °IV
coals, and from their appearance, being satisfied that
had not been honestly come by, he questioned them, "bet
the elder one, Simms, said the coals had been give° t'ili3t
by her sister, who resided at Stepney. He asked heri'tbst

Regent's Canal, near the Salmon's-lane Bridge. Pe
took them into custody. eer
The prisoners repeated the statement made by the

Mr. BRODERIP said he could not believe the
made by the prisoners.

The coals were fine large ones, and if they pick oot
up at the spot mentioned. they must have been twi
of a barge and dropped there by a confederate. the
Fogg said he made inquiries and ascertained tt nt
i
a.toot
husband of Stillwell was a respectable lighterman,
a coal lighterman. He had searched his barge, u"ftV
coals were found in it, and he denied all knowledge °

The prisoners again repeated the assertion that
picked up the coals. ;01,1 ,0
Mr. BRODERIP said the defence made by the Pr-d
was that made by every felon at the Old Bailey, 5° nob

the prisoners would have had no business with than' ale
own opinion was that the coals were stolen ; he could Ividip
a shrewd guess who was the thief ; and the officers ws.lietoi

the prisoners in the penalty of

if ever they were taken again under similar cirettost-
