POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TRIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BROTHER CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS BROTHER,

—Alfred Wilkins, a young man, was charged with robbing
his brother, Albert Wilkins, of 62, Dean-street, Soho, of a
watch, of the value of £3. '

The prosecutor said he lived at 62, Dean-street, and the
prisoner was his brother, and lived with him. On Thurs-
day morning last, on getting up at 11, he missed his watch,
which was quite safe at eight, hanging over his bed. He
suspected his brother, and in consequence spoke to his
father-in-law, and the watch was traced to a pawnbroker's.
The prisoner had left the house, but was discovered to be
in the next house, and was then given into custody.
Henry Hankey, assistant to Mr. Bertram, pawnbroker,
of Princes-street, produced the watch, which was pawned
by the prisoner for 255.

Sergeant Ryan, of the A division, said that on taking
the prisoner into custody he denied all knowledge of the
watch. He had the prisoner in custody once before, at this
court, for stealing clothes in Regent-street, for which he
was convicted.

The prisoner said he had no questions to ask.
Committed for trial.

A PROTECTING ORDER FOR A DESERTED WIFE.—
Mr. Saunders, clerk to Mr. Maddock, a solicitcr of
Arbour-street East, applied to Mr. Yardley for a protecting
order on behalf of Mrs. Sarah Ann Habart, residing at 4,
Queen-street, Stepney, who had been shame:lllly deserted
by her husband two years ago. Mr. Saunders stated that
Mrs. Habart was married to her husband on the 17th of
January, 1854, at the parish church of Hulme in Hunting-
donshire, and was deserted by her husband in January,
1857, without any apparent cause, and she had not since
heard from him or received any thing from him towards
her support. Mrs. 'Labatt was the mother of two children
by her husband, who were, at the time of his leaving her,
of the respective ages of six months and two years.
The property in possession of the husband at the
time of the desertion consisted only of • a little household
furniture, which was shortly afterwards seized, and sold to
satisfy rent and other debts due by Mr. Habart, and but
for the timely assistance of the applicant's father, sho and
her two poor helpless children would have become a charge
to the parish. She, however, had since succeeded, with
the little assistance her friends could afford, and by her
own lawful industry, in obtaining support for herself and
her two young children, and had by the same means
acquired a little property, which she wished to protect
against her husband.

Mr. Yardley—And any future property she may acquire.
Mr. Saunders—Yes, exactly, sir. Mrs. Habart is a very
industrious woman, and has acquired her property by her
own skill and exertions since her husband abandoned her
and his children. Mr. Saunders then quoted the 21st clause
of the Matrimonial and Divorce Causes Act, and submitted
this was a case in which there ought to be a protecting
order granted.
Mr. Yardley asked Mrs. Habart if her husband was in
this country.
Mrs. Habart—l believe he is, sir.

Mr. Yardley—You are entitled tp an order Of protection.
Let one be made out immediately.

Mrs. Habart thanked the magistrate and retired.
