SURREY SESSIONS.

Joseph Salmon, one of the " go-cart " men who ply at
the Elephant and Castle, was indicted for stealing a sove-
reign from the person of Anthony Ward, a countryman.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN remarked that robberies by " go-cart"
men had become very frequent, many persons who ven-

bed, but also maltreated.

The Court then sentenced the prisoner to be transported
for seven years.
Two girls, named Ann Bailey and Ann Sinznzs, were in-
dicted for stealing eighteen yards of cotton, the property of
George Scanby, a linen-draper, in Blackfriars'-road.
The prisoners were found Guilty, and sentenced to six
months' imprisonment.
_ After the trial of a few other unimportant cases the
session terminated, when the Court sentenced four prisoners
to transportation for seven years ; five to six months' hard
labour ; three to three months ; four were acquitted ; bills
not found, five.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

Yesterday, a young woman named Agnes Sykes was
brought up, charged with having stolen a child five years
old, named Jane Evans, from its parents, William and Jane
Evans, residing at 33, Clement's-lane. There was a second
charge against the prisoner for stealing eight shillings, the
property of the parents.
The prisoner, it appeared, had been'known to the Evans's
for a considerable time, and was in the habit of visiting them.
The child was much attached to her, and was in the habit
of walking out with her. On the Ist instant the prisoner
said she was going to see some friends, and requested that
the child might be allowed to go with her. They went
away together, and nothing was heard of them for several
days. Mr. Evans, in the meanwhile, missed Bs. from his
trunk, which he had placed aside to pay his rent, and his
landlord distrained upon his goods. Being by this time
convinced that the prisoner. had taken the child away for
some sinister purpose, he caused handbills to be published,
offering 2/. reward for her apprehension and the recovery of
his daughter. On Tuesday evening the prisoner re-
turned with the child and claimed the reward, alleging that
she had only taken her down to Norwood, intending to bring
her back. Upon searching a basket which the little girl
carried with her a quantity of matches was found, and she
stated that she had been set to sell them by the prisoner,
who waited at a distance, while she sat by the road side and
told a pitiful tale, in which she had been tutored by the
latter. On Monday last she obtained 4s. Bd. in this way,
but on Tuesday she got nothing, and then the prisoner
brought her home.
The little girl, who was remarkably intelligent for her
age, was questioned by the Magistrate, and described her
going some distance into the country, and the manner in
which she was instructed by the prisoner to obtain money
from the passers by.
The prisoner admitted the fact of taking the girl away
but denied that she had any sinister motive.
She was 'remanded for a week. A great crowd assembled
about the office, and the prisoner was loudly hissed and
hooted as she'was taken away.
