POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A FEMALE JACK SHEPPARD. —T Ivo girls, named Hannah
Hobbs and Sarah Graham, of the ages of 13 and 14 respec-
tively, were charged before Mr. Tyrvrhitt with assaulting
Mrs. Dunce, the wife of a police-sergeant of the C Division
of Police, and the girls were further charged with stealing
a brooch from the prosecutrix.

From the evidence it appeared that on Friday night last,
while Sergeant Bunco, 5 C, who resides in Long's court,
Leicester-square, was at supper with his wife in his kit-
chen, he noticed a hand passed over the blind, the window
being open. He went out, and being informed'that the
prisoners had been at his window, followed them and
stopped them, but not finding any of his property on them
he let them go. Shortly afterwards ho left home to go on
duty, and directly his back was turned, the prisoners went
to his house, annoyed and abused his wife, and on her
coming to the door Graham struck her in the face, and a
struggle ensued between the prisoners and the prosecutrix,
and the latter's brooch was stolen. The prosecutrix then
called a constable and gave tho prisoners into custody.
On the prisoners being brought up again, Sergeant
Bunco said ho had made inquiries respecting the prisoners,
and found that they had both been in the Catholic Indus-
trial School, Queen-square, Hobbs having been committed
from the Mansion-house in 1861, by Alderman Hall, for five
years. While there nothing could be done with her. On
one occasion she took off her boot and with it blackened
the matron's eye. She afterwards mad© her escape by
scaling a wall 16 feet high. Nothing more was heard of
her till about 12 months afterwards, when she was sent
from this oourt for three years, as also was the prisoner
Graham ; and on Good Friday last they managed to
escape from the School. The authorities of the School
had intimated the hope that the girls would not be sent
back, as they were likely to contaminate the others.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was quite clear that it was no use
sending the prisoners to an institution, and he would not
send them to an industrial school to spoil other girls. The
prisoners appeared to bo incorrigible, and to be a pair of
female Jack Sheppards, scaling walls and making their
escape as they had done. He should commit them for two
months each with hard labour.

THIRD ATTEMPT AT SELF - DESTRUCTION. —Elizabeth
Sharp, who was charged a few days ago with attempting
to take her lifo by cutting her throat with a razor, was
again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt.
The constable having mentioned that this was the third

time the prisoner had attempted to commit suicide, and the
prisoner stating in answer to questions that she had no-
where to go to,

Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered her to find one bail in £lO for six
months.

WESTMINSTER.

ROIBERY OF A GOLD WATCH.—John Daly, a young man,
was charged before Mr. Selfe with stealing a gold watch
and chain at the St. George's Baths and Washhouses, which
aro situated in Bolgrave-place, Pimlico.
Mr. W. Pitt, 40, Wilton-place, stated that on the after-
noon of yeaterday he was at the baths, where he undressed
himself in one of the boxes and proceeded to the bath. On
getting out he saw the prisoner come out of his box. He
was dressed. Witness went in the box immediately after
and missed his watch and chain. There was another per-
son in the box, but ho got away. The prisoner was searched,
but no watch was found upon him.
An inspector of the B Division said that this is the third
robbery which has taken place in the same establishment
during the last few days of gold watches. He should wish
for a remand in order to get the other man who came out
of the box.

The prisoner having denied taken the watch.

Ho was remanded.
