POLICE INTELLIGESCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

OUTRAGES IN THE PARK.—Sophia Gallard and
Sarah Jones, two miserably-clad young women,
were charged before Mr. Knox with wandering
abroad in Hyde-park, without visible means of sub-
sistence.

Police-constable John Farrier, 629 A, said that
about a quarter to 1 that morning he was on duty
in Hyde-park, near Albert-gate, when he saw
Gallard sitting on a seat. He asked her why she
was kitting there, and she said that she had no home,
and that she was waiting for Jones. Shortly after
Jones came up, and on her also telling hiui that she
had no home, he took them both to the station.

Mr. Knox asked whether the young women had
been seen in the park before ?

Inspector Swanston said he had seen them of au
afternoon there, but not at night.
Farrier said Jones told hint that she had been
leading this life for four years.
Jones said she did not know it was wrong, and

if his worship could send her anywhere she would
be thankful.

Mr. Knox asked Jones her age, and whether she
came from the country.

Jones said she was twenty years of age and was
a London girl. She had no friends.
Mr. Knox said that a young woman of her age
having no friends was no doubt her own fault.
Had she any means of earning her living?

Jones said she had not.
Mr. Knox said that was a bad job. He had no
doubt if he sent them away they would be in the
park again that night, and if he sent them to the
workhouse they would not stop there. As an act
of charity to them he would send them to the
Westminster Bridewell for 11 days, as they would
be out of the streets for that time.
ROBBERY BY A a SOLDIER.--Richard Gayham,
private of the 2d Battalion of the Scots Fusilier
Guards, was charged before Mr. Knox with steal-
ing a parcel containing a quantity of wearing ap-
parel, the property of Gilbert M'Lean, a mason.
from Glasgow, at present staying in London.
The prosecutor went into the Crystal Palace,
Castle-street, Leicester-square, accompanied by the
prisoner and some other soldiers. The prosecutor
left a parcel with Miss Agnes Bell, the.barmaid, for
her to take care of for him, and, meeting the
prisoner and a companion, went and asked for the
parcel, which was given up to them, and they after-
wards left the house with it.

The prisoner bore a very indifferent character.
The constable said that at first the prisoner said
he knew nothing of the parcel, but afterwards that
it was put away for 2s.
Prisoner was remanded.
