POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(77r2B Day.)

BOW-STREET.

The two women, Johnson and Wilson, who were fully
committee for trial for imposing on the Rev. Mr. Strug•
nell, were placed at the bar again to-day, in order that other
charges might be preferred against them, and also for the
purpose of hearing what was known of them by the Men-
dicity Society.
Inspector West said the gentleman of whom h/ spoke the
other day was now in attendance, and he could prove
another robbery by the prisoners.

Mr. Carlyle, of Berners-street, said a few days ago the
prisoners called at his house, and, after detailing a most
sorrowful case, applied to him for an admission into the
Lying-in-Hospital. His suspicions were aroused that they
were imposters and determined to keep them in view while
in his house. Notwithstanding the greatest precaution,
after they had left the house an umbrella was discovered
to have been stelbn, and as Johnson was the one who
stood near the hihind umbrella stand, he was of opinion
that she was the Marty who stole it.
Johnson—That's a lie.

Witness—The umbrella was safe a minute before they
entered the house, and was missed immediately they had
quitted it.

Johnson—Oh, your worship, don't believe him ; he must
be mistaken.

Inspector West—They are both very bad characters,
your worship. Another gentleman from Somerset House
is also in attendance to prove a case against them if ne-
cessary.

Johnson--Another gentleman! Oh you villain, you're
trying to transport me, and you're getting up all this evi-
dence. What chance does a po.)r lone woman stand against
a policeman. I've got a good character, your worship, but
you don't seem to think so.

The Mendicity officer produced the record of a number of
convictions against the prisoners.

Johnson (howling and crying very loudly)—He's another
nice article. All the convictions are mistakes. Oh, your
worship, don't believe him ; think of a poor lone widow—
think of my poor babies.

The Magistrate said he should commit them for trial,
also for stealing the umbrella.

Johnson (still crying very loudly)--Oh, don't do that ;
think of the children.

The Magistrate—Yes, I shall.
Johnson (to Inspector West)—Wait till we come out,
old fellow ; we'll serve you out for this. It's all through you
we go to sessions. We won't forget you. Only wait till
we come out, we'll be one with you.

Both prisoners were then with some difficulty removed
from the bar.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTING TO ROB MEMBERS or THE JUNIOR
UNITED SERVICE CLUB.—Three young men of low ap-
pearance, named Dennis Regan, James Tucker, and James
Barrett, were charged with attempting to pick the pockets
of several gentlemen leaving the Junior United Service
Club, the previous night, about 10 o'clock.

Gordon, 336 A, said, about 10 o'clock the previous night,
while in Regent• street, he saw the prisoners standing near
the club-house, and, on a gentleman leaving, they all fol-
lowed him into Charles-street, where he saw RegE.n attempt
to pick his pocket. He then returned to the club-house,
and followed another gentleman and attempted to pick his
pocket. They then returned and followed a third gentleman,
and also tried to pick his pocket. They tried to escape, but
he caught Regan behind an omnibus, and having handed
him over to a constable, went after the others and took
them in Regent -quadrant.

Sergeant Holmes, F division, said he know Regan had
been soldiering for some time, but before then he was a
thief. Ho had only been back a few days. Tucker had
had three years in a reformatory. He knew nothing of
Barrett whatever.

Mr. Yardley—Have you been a soldier, Regan ?
Regan—l was in the Royal Horse Artillery as a driver,
but being kicked by a horse in the side was discharged.
Mr. Yardley—Where is your discharge ?
Regan—l have lost it.
Mr. Yardley—l suppose then it was not a discharge
worth keeping ?

Regan—Well, that's about it, it was not a very good one.
Tu3ker—l was in Redhill Reformatory.
Mr. Yardley—l will remand Barrett, but commit the
others for three months each with hard labour.
