POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

ALLEGED WATCH ROBBERY ON PRETENCE or BEGGING.—
Margaret Finn, a woman of the town, was charged with
stealing a watch from Mr. Gray, a solicitor's clerk, and
Mary Mason was charged on suspicion of being concerned
with her.

The prosecutor said he was going along Bloomsbury-
street, on his way home on Saturday night, when he met
the prisoner Finn. She had a bundle in her arms, and
from the way she carried it ho thought it was a child. She
approached him as if to beg of him, but instead of doing
so she shoved the parcel up against his chest. At
the same moment he heard a snap, and found that
his watch was gone and the chain hanging loose.
He seized the prisoner and detained her. He
perceived that she made a movement towards
a young man, who was standing near, and suspecting that
she had passed the contents to the young man, he seized
the latter. The prisoner got away. The youg man satis-
fied witness that his suspicions were unfounded, and wit-
ness let him go. The prisoner had by this time come back
and a bystander pointed her out to him. Ho again seized
her and gave her into custody. While ho was detaining
her the other prisoner (Mason) whom he had not seen be-
fore, came up and pulled him about, saying, " Lot her go;
she has not got your watch." Mason was intoxicated.

George Pollard, a carpenter, living in Cirencester-place,
said ho was :passing at the time and saw the prosecutor
struggling with the prisoner Finn, who fell to the ground.
The prosecutor then seized upon a young man, and Finn
went away down Museum-street. The prosecutor let the
young man go, and on the prisoner's return gave her into
custody. When he first saw her a piece of glass fell from
her, and was smashed on the flagstones.

The prosecutor said ho did not think Mason had any
thing to do with the robbery.

Mr. Vaughan remanded Finn and discharged Mason.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH RECKLESS DRIVING.—
Mr. Robert Claverley Savage, better known as Captain
Savage, of No. 66, Bolsover-street, gentleman, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk, and incapable of
driving his horse and brougham.
Police-constable Langham, 108 C, said that about a
quarter to one o'clock on Sunday morning he saw the de-
fendant driving a horse and brougham in a reckless manner
—first on ono side of the road and then on the other—in
Castle-street, Leicester-squaro. He saw the defendant
stop in the middle of the road, heard a shout, and directly
after saw the defendant standing against a lamp-post. On
getting up the defendant, who was drunk, seized him by
coat, and said " What the -- is it to do with you ?" and
with the assistance of another constable he took the de-
fendant to the station.

The defendant said that he had been driving round the
Regent's Park, and afterwards called at a refreshment
house in Castle-street to see if be could get a glass of
sherry, and while waiting to soo if he could do so some
low blackguard set his horse—one of the quietest creatures
in the world—going, and it walked into the middle of the
road. Ho followed the fellow, and while doing so the
constable came up and told him that ho had left his horse
without any one to take care of it. As for saying that ho
was drunk, that was not the ease, as he did not drink. Ho
only took port and sherry. He felt sure if some one had
not played a trick with his horse, it would stand quiet for
six hours at a time.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he doubted what the defendant said
very much, as he did not drive horses of the kind he de-
scribed. Ile believed what the constable had said, and
should fine tho defendant 20s.

It is well known that tho defendant is in the habit o:
driving about town with high-spirited horses.

THAMES.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A HUSBAND ON ms WIFE.--
John Sweeney, an Irishman, about 85 years old, a strong,
broad-shouldered fellow was brought beforo Mr. Paget
charged with violenty assalting Ellen Sweeney his wife.
The complainant, a slender, delicate, pale, and consump-
tive-looking woman, forming a striking contrast to the
burley frame of her husband, said she had been married to
him 13 years, and ho had been very cruel to her. He
could earn plenty of money, but he spent it in the indul-
gence of his own sensual participations. The burthen of
supporting his children principally fell on her. When she
was well she did a little washing and charing. She fell ill
a month ago, and he left her. She was compelled to sell
many of her things to procure bread, and for the last fort-
night she had obtained assistance from the parish. On
Saturday night her husband returned home drunk, and he
swore at her, and struck her on the side of the head, caus-
ing the blood to flow. Ho then seized her by the throat,
and attempted to strangle her. He compressed her throat,
and she was growing faint and insensible when assistance
arrived.

S. Nichols, 433 K, said that ho took the prisoner into
custody on Saturday night. The woman was bleeding
copiously from a wound on the head, and was very weak
and faint.

Mrs. Sweeney was recalled,', and said that her husband
had often beaten her before ; ho left her a month ago.
Mr. Paget said the prisoner had committed a very sa-
vage assault on his poor wife. It was a dastardly thing to
boat a sickly Woman, who could not defend herself. Ho
sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and
hard labour.

The Earl and Countess of Carnarvon had a
dinner party on Saturday at their residence in Grosvenor-
street.

MISS BATEAIAN.—An action has been brought in
the New York law courts against Miss Kate Jose-
phine Bateman by Mr. Augustus Daly, the author of ,‘ Leah
the Forsaken," for $4lO, for literary services rendered.
The defendant pleaded that she was under age when the
alleged services were rendered. The plaintiff was accord-
ingly non-suited.

TRAFFICKING WITH PRISONERS.—Another in-
stance of the disreputable system of " trafficking"
between the warders and the convicts imprisoned at Port-
land, which, however, is happily .of unfrequent occur-
rence, has just been brought to light. A warder, named
John Walker, who hid only been employed in that capa-
city about seven months, was brought before M. It. H. 0.
Swaffield, at the Portland prison, on Friday last, charged
with being in unlawful communication with a convict
named Thompson, for whom, it appears, Walker had been
tempted to convey certain letters with a view of obtaining
money. It seems that suspicion had rested on the prisoner
for some time past, and a watch was set over him, which
led to his being searched on Thursday last, and ono of the
letters in question was found in the prisoner's left stock-
ing. Walker pleaded guilty to the charge, but in conside-
ration of his having borne an excellent character while a
soldier, as well as hitherto during his employment as a
warder, he was sentenced to the mitigated penalty of only
two months' imprisonment with hard labour. This is the
second case within the past few months. Not long ago a
man named Turner was sentenced to six months' hard
labour for similarly trafficking with the renowned convict
Roupell.
