POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY Br SistrvaNf Crearm.:---Bridget Dirkin, 16,
and Mary St. Ledger, 17, were placed at the bar before
Mr. Bingham, the former charged with stealing, and the
latter with receiving, well knowing them to be stolen,
a cameo ring, a garnet ring, a gold locket, and some
other articles of jewellery, the property of Stephen
Fontaine, boarding-house keeper, of 51, Pall. Mall.
Police-constable , Stephens, 23 C, said that having
received information from the prosecutor that she had
lost several articles of j,irrellery, be went to the resi-
dence of the prisoner Dirkin'e mother in Mermaid
yard, Piml co, and told the prisoner Dirkin she was
charged with stealing some property from No. 51, Pall-
mall, where she had been living with a person as
servant. She said she had not taken anything. The
mother volunteered to have the house searched, and be
did so, and found a coral ornament and come other
things. He then took the prisoner to 51, Pall-mall,
and on the way she said the things were given to her
by her late mistress, and afterwards that she had taken
the things and given them to the other prisoner (Ledger)
who lived in the same yard. He then went to Ledger
and asked her for the things left with her by Dirkio.
Ledger at first said she knew nothing about them, but
cn his telling her it Wad no use her denying it, she said,
" Hearing you had been here I threw them away in a
field, as I was frightened to keep them any longer."
She afterwards said that was not true, but that she had
sewn them up in a pincushion. The pincushion having
been produced some of the missing articles were found.
John Elliot, pawnbroker, of Queen-street, Pimlico,
produced a small gold ring, pledged on the 17th of April
for ls. by the prisoner, Ledger.
Betsy Lomes, wife of Mr. M. Lames, pawnbroker, of
Queen's-road West, Chelsea, produced a gold pin,
pawned by Ledger for 1.. on the 17Lh of April.
The prosecutrix said she did not wish to press the
cbarge, as the prisoners were both very young. The
prisoner Dirkin had been living in her house, as servant
to a lady, and had been well recommended, and as there
was a large quantity of plate about, and none had been
touched, she thought she bad been tempted owing to
the nature of the articles. She had been taken from a
school, and a lady of title had felt some interest in her.
Remanded for a week.
