MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

LADY PICKPOCKETS.—CAUTION TO LADIES.—Three
well-dressed females, named Ann Cooper, Elizabeth Brooks,
and Jane Love, were charged Wore Mr. Beadon with at-
tempting to pick pockets in Oxford-street.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street,, ap-
peared for the prisoners.
Charles Brown, 304 A, said that at half-past four the
previous afternoon he saw saw the prisoners in Oxford-
street. Having watched them a Avert time, he saw them
push themselves into a crowd round an omnibus leaving the
Circus, and Love then put her hand into the pocket of a
lady who had a child in her arms, but she did not succeed
in abstracting anything. The prisoners then went
to the corner of John-street, and returned to
the shop of Mr. Roberts, livendraper, between
John-street and the Circus, and Love then again put
her hand into a lady's pocket, Cooper being 9t her Bide and
Brooks behind. They then followed two ladies to the
Regent-circus, where a crowd of people were crossing to
leave by an omnibus, and the prisoners again pushed them-
selves amongst them. They then returned to the corner '
of John-street, and, getting the assistance of two constables,
he took them into custody. The prisoners at the station
refused their addresses. _ .

Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said he knew all the prisoners. He
had seen Cooper at this court before, and he believed he had
seen Brooks at Clerkenwell.

In answer to Mr. Lewis, the sergeant said he could not
say when—it might be more than three years. Ho knew
Brooks well.

Mr. Boadon said he should remand them for a week to
see whit was known of them.

CURIOUS CASE OF FELONY.—Edward Gurling, a boy of
16, was charged with stealing a quantity of lead pipe from
the garden of the house 10, Portland •road, in the occupa-
tion of dr. Henry Halsay Bishop, one of the curates of All
Souls, the said pipe being the property of Mr. Henry Tritton,
the banker.

The case having been proved, Sing, 28 E, in answer to
Mr. Beadon, said the prisoner lived with his father and
mother, and was in the employ of a chemist.
The father of the boy stepped forward and said it was the
first time his son had been in a police court.
Mr. Beadon said the boys going into a private garden and
stealing the lead was a remarkable felony for a boy to begin
with. He must have learnt from some one where to dispose
of the lead, and he must have got into very bad company.

The father said he had received an injury to his head
some time ago, and at times he did not know what he was
about. He had been in the employ of a cherni.t.
Mr. Beadon, placing little credit in the statement about
the injuries the boy had received, and remarking that if
that was really the case he was not:a proper person to be
at a chemist's, where he might get at dangerous drugs and
do mischief, asked the lad whether he was guilty, and re-
ceiving an answer in the affirmative, committed him for
three months.
