SENDING THREATENING LETTERS.

__ ~..

`lb-day the young ',woman, Elizabeth Darling,
was placed before Mr. Flowers, at the Bow-street
Police-court, charged with sending several threaten-
ing letters to Mr. Burgess, wholesale pickle mer-
chant, 107, Strand, in whose service she was
housemaid. It appeared from the evidence
that the letters were of the most alarming de-
scription, and so much uneasiness was occasioned
by them, that it was thought proper to guard the
the premises night and day. Mr. Hunt, one of the
chief officers of the St. Martin's division of special
constables, undertook the duty, and from certain
suspicious circumstances against the prisoner being
discovered, she was given into custody. The last
letter was found on the leads of the upper part of
the house by the prisoner, as she alleged, but the
inference was that she had first placed it there
herself.

Miss Emily Woodhouse, the sister of Mrs. Burgess,
aid the prisoner gave her a piece of paper in the
smorning, stating that ahe picked it up, when she
(the prisoner) stated she went up on the leads to
hang out her (witness's) bird. The prisoner said at
the time that she did not know it was a letter, but
on opening it a written paper was discovered, of
the usual threatening nature. Miss Woodhouse
asked the prisoner some porticulars about the find-
ing of it, when the girl said she wanted some paper
to light drawing-room fire, and having none at
hand she went to the leads, where she saw the piece
in question lying and picked it up. The paper was
quite dry, although it had been raining heavily
some time before the prisoner brought it to
her. She (the prisoner) said she was not aware
what the paper contained, and that she had not
read the written paper. This, however, was doubt-
ful, as she had told her fellow-servant that another
letter had been found threatening the destruction
of the premises. Mrs. Burgess produced some letters
the prisoner had written on personal matters, and on
comparing the writing with that in theother letters the
similarity was very great. The prisoner was well
recommended when she came into the service of
Mr. Burgess, and was looked upon as a very respect-
able girl. The prisoner denied having written
the letters, although she would admit having
told a great number of untruths. Mr. Flowers
said he thought the case must go to the sessions,
however, in order that further consideration might
be given the case, he would formally remand the
prisoner until Monday, and accept her father as
bail for her in the sum of £2O.
