POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

--4.---

BOW-STREET.

NOT SO EASY AS IT LOOKS.—A ragged, dirty old woman
named Mary Brown, was charged with stealing a boot from
the shop of Mr. Mitchell, bootmaker, Drury-lane.
The prosecutor said that about 10 o'clock last night the
prisoner came to his shop, and began turning over several
of the pair of boots arranged in front of the window. He
watched her for a few minutes, and presently saw her take
a pair of scissors from her pocket, and cut the string by
which a pair of boots were fastened together, thus releasing.
one of the boots, which she took up and placed under 14r
shawl. The witnebs hero explained that the string of each
pair of boots was twisted round a piece of wire in such a
manner that they could only be got away by cutting the
string, and then only ono at a time. In order to get the
other boot of the pair she would have to cut the string
again. The prisoner appeared discontented at this disco-
very, but was about to apply the scissors for the second
time, when a passer-by, not knowing that he was watching
her, called out, " Halloo, Mr. Mitchell, here is a woman
stealing your boots." The prisoner then moved off, but he
followed her and stopped her, and took the boot from hor.
She feigned drunkenness, but he did not believe she was
really tipsy.
Police-constable Perry, 176 F, who took the prisoner
into custody, also said that he believed her to be sober.
The Prisoner —lt is my first time of doing wrong : I
had taken a little drop of brandy, and that was the cause
of it. It was not for the sake of stealing. I did not want
one boot.
Mr. Flowers—No ; you wanted two. You thought you
would get the pair, and so would any body think. I know
I should have thought that when the string was cut both
boots would come away together. But you see so many
people think so that the shopkeeper is obliged to adopt
this ingenious mode of tying his goods, in order to disap-
point them. This is a very bad offence, but as you are not
known, and it may be that you have never done anything
of the sort before, I will give you the benefit of that doubt
and sentence you to only one month's imprisonment.
Mr. Mitchell said he believed the prisoner was the same
woman who stole a pair of boots from his shop 18 months
ago, but he could not swear to her.
