POLICE INTELLIGEgCE.—Ths Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. Ingham—Have the girls no father or mother?
Applicant—Neither.

Mr. Ingham —How long have they been orphans?
Applicant —They are my owa sisters, and as I am a
married woman, and have a little child of my own, I think
it is only my duty to act the part of a mother by them.
Our father was killed by accident two years ago, and our
mother died three months ago in the Fever Hospital, so
that they were left withmit father or mother. I have
tried all I can to do my duty, but this girl is very
awkward, and I can't keep her doing as I should like.
I hope your worship will help me.
The girl, who was present, was then shown to the
magistrate. She was a hearty-looking girl, exceedingly
neat and clean in her appearance. Mr. Ingham pointed
out the kindness of her eldest sister to her, but the girl
held down her head and made no reply.
Mr. Ingham—The Industrial Schools Act gives me
power to interfere in a case where the parents or guardians
cannot control the child. I may certainly look upon you
in the light of a guardian. Tell me, does your sister in
any way associate with thieves or persons of bad character
Applicant—This acquaintance, from whom I fear so•
much, has, I understand, been convicted of felony, and
that makes me the more anxious.

Mr. Ingham—Are you a Protestant or Catholic ?

Applicant—Catholic.

Mr. Ingham—Go to your priest and inquire when
there is a vacancy in •any one of the numerous schools
of that religious persuasion, and I will immediately send
your sister.

Applicant—Thank your worship, I will go directly.

THAMES.

DARING AND INJURIOUS ROBBERY.—George Holmes and
George Wadge, two well-known thieves, were dharged
with stealing a box containing six gold watches, another
gold watch, a gold chain, and a small gold ring, the pro-
perty of Mr. Phillip Kilby, awatchmaker.

The prosecutor, a respectable and industrious man, has
had the misfortune to lose an eye, and with the knowledge
of this fact the prisoners appear to have acted. On the
evening of Thurslay, the 2d of the present month, a young
lady came into the shop and left a gold watch with Mrs.
Dallas, the sister of the prosecutor, to b 3 repaired. She
gave it to her brother, who put it down on a
board alongside of him. Directly afterwards Nudge
entered and said he wanted to sell a pin which
he handed to the prosecutor. Holmes came ,in
directly afterwards as if he was on business. At the same

time Mr. Kelly went round the counter to examine the
pin by means of a powerful magnifying glass. A box of
gold watches, a lady's gold watch, gold chain, and a small
gold chain, were then near the prosecutor, and on the
blind side of him. One of the prisoners took advantage of
this, while Mr. Kelly was examining- the pin, to go round
the counter and remove the property. The prisoners
directly left the shop, without waiting Mr. Kelly's opinion
of the pin, which was is reality qa;te worthless. Mrs.
Dallas was the first to miss the prop 3rty, and asked her
brother who the prisoners were. Last night police-ser-
geant Freeston, No. 58 K, went to a beer-shop called the
Fielding's Arms, Fieldgate-street, Whitechapol, and
arrested the prisoners. Holmes made a determined resis-
tance before he was secured. BALI prisoners denied that
they had-any hand in the robbery. • ••••-•
In answer to the magistrate the prosecutor said he had
no doubt that the property was stolen while he was look-
ing at the pin.
The prisoners were remanded for a week.

NOTTINGHAM, Bth.—The fine weatherof ti:e week

having produced a good effect on the home trade of
the hosiery business in London, the manufacturers
here are hoping to experience the advantages of the
improvement very day. American buyers are giv-
ing their orders sparingly, and other departments
of the shipping trade are quiet. Yarns are steady.
Employment is moderately active, but certain indi-
cations among the operatives induce the hope that
they will avoid the mistakes of the American hands,
who are injuring business by their indiscretion. In
the lace manufactures the brilliant weather has given
a decided impulse to the fancy trade, but for plain
netts the demand is slow. - " '— • '

THE HYDE PARK OUTCASTS.—Tsvo dirty, miserable-
looking young women, named Mary Brown and Eliza
Burgess, were charged before Mr. Knox with wandering
abroad in Hyde Park, not having a fixed place of abode or
visible means of subsistence. •
Sergeant Win. Horsley, 707 A, said that at about three
o'clock that morning he was on duty in Hyde Park, and
saw the two prisoners lying on a seat fast asleep. He
woko them up and asked-them why they were in the park
after the gates were closed, when they said they had no
place to go to and no ;nosey to get lodgings.
Mr. Knox asked the sergeant whether he had seen the
young women before.

The sergeant said he had, and that they frequanted the
park as prostitutes. •

Mr. Kuox said it was what occurred every season as
soon as the fine weather set in. •

Inspector Butler said he had cantinned the young women
before, but they had never been elitqged till Low.
Mr. Knox, after remarking that the prisoners could not
be worse off anywhere than starving about the park, com-
mitted them fora month. each.

- WESTMINSTER.
SISTERLY LOVE._A PATTERN TO HER BETTERS. A
woman about 23 years of age, moving in the humblest
walk of life, entreated the magistrate to assist her in saving
her sister from ruin.

Applicant said that she bad two sisters whom she took
charge of with a view of bringing them up honestly. One
was 13 and the other 10 years old, and the first of these
had given her much pain and uneasiness. She got her a
place where she could have done very well, but she only
stopped a few days, and had got hold of a bad girl, who
had taken her to the playhouse, and was fast leading her
towards ruin.
