IMPOSING ON A CLERGYMAN.—TWO women, named
Wilson and Johnson, were placed before Mr. Henry, on
remand, charged with obtaining money by false pretences,
and also with stealing some articles of wearing apparel from
the house of the Rev. Mr. Strugnell, of No. 43, Carey-
street, Lincoln's-inn-Fields.
It appeared that a few days ago the two women called
at Mr. Strugnell's house and asked to see the rev, gentle-
man. The servant allowed them to stand in the passage
while she proceeded upstairs to inform her master, and as
she was going, Wilson said, "Tell your master it is urgent
that he should see them personally." While they were in
the passage they availed themselves of pushing open the
parlour door and stealing a black silk mantle and a child's
frock, and when Mr. Strugnell saw them Wilson addressed
him in a very imploring tone on behalf of Johnson,
who she said was very near her confinement, and all she
wanted was a little money to pay her cab hire, as she had
got an admission to the hospital. Mr. Strugnell gave the
woman half-a-crown to pay for the cab which he had called
to the door, and having seen them drive off he returned
to his room. In a few minutes after the robbery was dis-
covered, and information was given to Inspector West. In
a short time after the robbery the prisoners were brought
to the office on another charge of stealing, and then the
inspector recognised them as the women who had been to
the clergyman's house.
Mr. Strugnell said he wished the magistrate would deal
summarily with the case.
Mr. Henry—But they deny the robbery.
Johnson—Your worship, we will plead guilty to any-
thing; we don't wish to trouble you to send us to the ses-
sions.

Mr. Henry—ls anything known about the prisoners.
A mendicity officer was entering the witness box to give
evidence when Johnson commenced howling and crying,
and said; " Oh, don't believe what that man's going to
swear. He 'll say he knows us, but he don't. He 'll take
his oath to anything. Oh, your worship, think of my poor
babies, do deal with us summary. I never went to sessions
before."

FOREIGN

Mr. Strugnell—l would mush rather the matter should
be settled here, sir, if such can be done.
Mr. Henry—l am afraid they are bad characters.
The mendicity officer said there were a great many con-
victions against both prisoners.

Johnson—Oh, your worship, there's a false oath. Me
bad why, he don't know me.

Mr. Henry—He says you have both been many times
convicted.

Johnson—Don't believe him then. Oh my poor babies I
I have not seen them since I have been in prison. Think
o' them, your worship. I'll plead guilty to anything, but
don't send us to the sessions.

Wilson—Oh, yes—anything. I don't want to go to
Clorkenwell.

Mr. Henry—lt is impossible to deal with such a case as
this in a summary manner.
Inspector West—l know the prisoners to be bad cha
racters, your worship, and to have been frequently in cus-
tody. A gentleman from Berners-street promised to be in
attendance this morning to identify them as having imposed
on him.

Johnson (howling and crying very loudly, Oh think of
my babies)—lf you won't deal summary with us put us
over till the sessions after next. I want to get some people
to speak to character.

Mr. Henry—You will have plenty of time for that. r
shall commit you for trial on both charges. I shall order
a list of the convictions to be produced hero on Friday
next, and you and your companion must be brought up
again on that day to hear what is known of you both.
Johnson—l don't what to know.
Both prisoners were then locked up.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
,DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A CABMAN.—James Prices,
a cab-driver, badge 6,405, was summoned for wilful mis—
behaviour towards a young woman named Shaw, residing
in Grosvenor-square.

Tho young woman said that on Saturday week she took
the defendant's cab in Montagu-street, and he drove her to,
Grosvenor-square. She had two boxes on the outside, and
he demanded is. 61. His fare was 6d.
Defendant said she kept him three. quarters of an hou
with her boxes; he could not lift them.
The complainant said tie delay was on account of the
defendant being drunk. He was most abusive and said she
had got " stolen property."
A constable, named Groves, said the defendant had been
drinking, and caused a disturbance by his abuse.
Mr. Mansfield said the daisy was the cabman's own, and
he had no right to take advantage of it. He (Mr. Mama-
field) had no doubt the defendant thought because the com-
plainant was a servant he night use any amount of extor-
tion and bullying he liked.

The young woman said sae could lift the boxes herself,
and the defendant got a crovd round the door.
Mr. Mansfield fined the defendant, who said he may
charged for waiting, 405., and 4s. costs, or a month.
