POLICE INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAY.

M A RLBOROUG STREET.—DARING WATCH ROB-
BERY.—.Iicse Steele, an ill-favoured looking female. one of
a large number who frequent Leicester-square sightly, with
the ostensible purpose of selling flowers, was charged with
being concerned, with another female not in custesly, in
staling: a watch of the value of £B, from the person of Con-
rade Akerman, residing at an hotel in the square.
The prosecutor said he was walking in the square on the
previous evening near the enclosure, when the prisoner and
another female crossed directly over to him, and the prisoner
began talking to him, the other being a little behind. Not
wishing to have anything to say to them he told them to go
away, when they directly datted (fl; and suspecting then
they had some particular object, he felt for his watch
and missed it. He called " .stop thief !" and pursued
the prisoner, and she was taken into custody. The other
female managed to effect her escape.
Prisoner said she was walking with the other female when
she suddenly saw her throw away a basket of flowers, end
run across the square, and all the prisoner did was to follow
to see whither she had gone.
Prisoner was remanded.

' AN INCORRIGIBLE WlFE.—Mary Ann Oulds, a
woman of a most violent temper, and who has appeared at
this court eight or nine times, charged with annoying her
husband, an oilman in the neighbourhood of the court, was
brought up on a warrant charged with a similar offence.
Mr. I3eadon said it was a perfect farce to try to do any-
thing with her; she was incorrigible. She was doing all she
could to ruin her husband's business, notwithstanding he
made her a vcry ample allowance. He should order her to
find two sureties in the sum of £2O for the next six months.
The defendant—Now I shall be quiet.

THAMES.—SHOCKING DEPRAVITY IN A GIRL.—A
poor and neatly-dressed woman, who was sobbing loudly,
and who appeared to be labouring under the most intense
anxiety and grief, came before Mr. Selfe with a girl ten
years of age, her stepdaughter, and said the child wa. so ob-
durate, so ardened in sin, thati she could do nothing with
her, and, as a last resource, determined to appeal to the
magistrate.
Mr. Selfe—What has this girl done ?

Applicant—Sbe has robbed‘ her poor father, who is a hard-
working man, continually. Yesterday morning she robbed
us of 2s. 9,1., all the money we possessed in the world, and
remained out until 12 o'clock la,t night. I have obtained
three situations for her, and she haq robbed all her employers,
and has declared that she will go upon the streets and lead
a dissolute life.
Mr. Selfe—What iq her father ?

The applicant—A dock labourer, and he works Tory hard,
sir.

Mr. Selfe—Do you send her to scheol ?
The applicant—l have sent her to many schools, and she
has been dismissed from them all with disgrace. She is
naturally depraved, and very wicked.
Mr. Selfe—Have you any children of your own?
The applicant—Ye., one, sir, five years old; and this girl
has endeavoured to corrupt her little sister.
Mr. Selfe—lt is a shocking case. Do you hear what your
mother says, little girl ?
The question was repeated half-a-dozen times before the
obdurate girl drawled out, " Yes, sir." The magistrate then
delivered an impressive Ice ure on the wie'<edness of her m •
due, and advised her stepmother to give her into custody if
she ever committed a robbery again, and he would send her
to prison, and afterwards to a reformatory school for five
years.
