POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SENDING A CHILD OUT TO BEG.—Ellett Carroll, a little
girl about eight years old, not wearing any shoes, was
charged before Mr. Knox by the Marquis Townshend with
begging.
The Marquis said that on the previous afternoon, about
half-past 5 o'clock, he saw the poor little girl begging of
persons in Pall-Mall. He spoke to a constable and she then
ran away. The child had evidently been disgracefully
neglected. She said she lived with her aunt, who did no
work, but sent her out begging.
The child, whose appearance was much improved by
her having passed the night in the workhouse, said she
was sent out begging, and her father knew it.
Lloyd, 320 A, said the child told him that her aunt sent
her out to get a few pence.
Mr. Knox ordered the constable to take the child to the
workhouse for a week, and to look up the parents, and then
roport on the matter.

he was in the care of the police.
Mr. Inspector Major, of the Thames police, said that he
saw the sailor last night all aground in Cable-street,
Whitechapel, and the prisoner standing over him and
taking his coat off. He asked the prisoner what ho moan t
to which he replied "I am taking care of him," and then
