POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-L(TIIIS DAB',

BOW-STREET.

CAUGHT AT LAST.—Jane Beasley, a rather good-looking
young woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry,
charged with robbing a gentleman of his purse.
The prosecutor stated that, last, night, after having spent
a pleasant evening with some friends,che was, on his way
home, passing through Bloomsbury-square, when the
woman at the bar caught hold of his arm and asked him if
he was " good-natured."- (Laughter.) He told her to go
about her business, but she refused, and made another
attempt to prevail upon him to give her somethingto drink.
He again refused, and attempted to proceed on his road
home, when another woman, no doubt a confederate of the
prisoner, pinioned his arms from behind, and Beasley
thrust her hand into his trousers' pocket and stole his purse.
Both women then ran away, but he gave an alma', and the
prisoner was taken into custody.
Mr. Henry—Were you sober at the time ?
Witness—l can't 84 I was quite sober, neither can I say
I was drunk. I had been drinking a little wine with a few
friends on the occasion of its being the last night of the old
year, but I perfectly remember all that occurred.
The police-constable on duty near the square, said he
heard a cry of " Stop thief," and hurried towards tie spot
the ery seemed to proceed from. On his way thither he
saw the prisoner running, and he immediately started in
pursuit. After a chase for a few minutes he came up with-
her, and took her into custody. At her feet he found the
portemonnaie produced. On being opened, instead of it
containing, as it appeared to do, a good round sum, it was
found to contain nothing but pawnbrokers' duplicates.
Mr. Henry—ls the prisoner known ?

Constable—OM yes, your worship. She's an old
offender, and has only been out of prison a few days, to
which she was committed fora similar robbery to the pre-
sent. She has also had a trial at the Old Bailey, but got
acquitted. She's a well-known thief.

Mr. Henry—Well, prisoner, what have you to say in
answer to the charge ?

Prisoner—l plead guilty, your worship. Do dispose of it
summarily. I don't want to go to the sessions. I have an
objection to anything of the sort.

Mr. Henry, in compliance with the wish of the prosecutor,
disposed of the case by committing the woman to prison for
six months with hard labour.

MARLBOROTJQHISTREET.

AN INconnicarmt BOY.—Henry Taylor, 14, a shrewd-
looking boy, was charged with stealing from the shop of
Mr. Jeffreys, butcher, of Foubert's-place, Regent-street,
a leg of mutton, value 6s.

James Freebody, in the employ of the prosecutor, said he
weighed the joint, with several others, and placed them on
a slab. Shortly after, the boy was brought to the shop by
a young man, having the joint in his possession.
Henry Wilson said he saw the iin,soner, with another
boy, take something from the slab arid run down Regent-
street, and when he got into Saville-place, he saw him
putting the leg of mutton into a black bag. He then seized
him and took him back to the shop of Mr. Jeffrey, in Fou-
bert's-place.
Stephens, 93 C, said the prisoner, told him he had no
home, and on his asking hint what he was going to do with
such a large joint, he said he had not made up his mind.
He had a black bag and a knife with him. He had been
twice at Bow-street, where he once had seven days.
Prisoner said he had not seven days--it was a month and
four days. It was for some vests.
The father of the boy said he had tried his utmost, but
could do nothing with him.
Mr. Beadon said it was a cage for a Reformatory. He
would remand him for a few days, and in the meantime
consider what could be done.
