IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Rebecca Hartley, an im-
pudent, bloated woman, who owned to being 30
years of age, but looked much older, was brought
before Mr. Benson on remand charged with stealing
two pairs of boots in the shop of Mr. William
Nathan, pawnbroker and salesman, of Nos. 76 and
78, Three-colt-street, Limehouse.
The pihoner and a man whom she called her
brother entered the shop of Mr. Nathan a
few days ago, and the brother said he wanted
to purchase a pair of boots. He tried on a great
many pairs, and said that none of them would
fit him. At last he put on a good strong pair
of boots and shoes, and said he thought they
would do. Mr. Alfred Page, the prosecutor's as-
sistant, offered to assist him in putting them on,
but the " brother " refused, and said his sister
would give all the necessary aid he required.
" Brother " and " sister " then pulled and hauled
at the boots for some time, and at length said they
would ,not fit. They made an apology to Mr.
Page, said they were sorry none of the boots would
fit, and left the shop without making a purchase.
Directly afterwards Mr. Page missed two pairs of
boots worth 19s. He went after the couple
and followed them into a public-house, where
he found them both seated. He charged them
with stealing two pairs of boots. The woman ex-
claimed, " Oh my, here they are ; and took them
from her apron." She delivered them to Mr. Page,
who gave her int) custody. Her " brother" said,
" Don't make a noise, they are your boots. They
were taken by mistake." The fellow made his

escape.
Mr. Benson said it was a pity the prisoner's
" brother" had escaped.
_ _

The prisoner, in defence, said the man who was
in her company had taken the boots and given them
to her. She knew nothing of him. He was a
stranger to her. She lived in Union-street, South-
wark, and was a hard-working sober, woman, with
one child, which was in court.
A woman held up a child and said,r Here it is."
A Police-constable—l don't believe it is her
child, but a borrowed one to excite sympathy. I
can't find out where the prisoner lives.
Mr. Benson said the prisoner had now been in
custody several days, and no information could be
obtained about her. He believed she was a regular
professional thief, and that her companion, her
pretended brother, was the same. He would accept
the prisoner's plea of guilty, and convict her of lar-
ceny, and sentence her to three months' imprison-
ment and hard labour.
ROBBERY OF OIL AT A WHARF..---A merchant
applied this day,for a warrant against, a wharfinger
and store keeper on the banks of the river Lee for
plundering oil in store and setting up an excuse that
the casks containing oil had leaked.
Mr. Benson said before granting a warrant he
would consult an inspector of police as to the cha-
racter and reputation of the party complained of,
and then decide whether it was necessary to grant a
warrant or order the accused party into custody
without one. The robberies were alleged to be of
a very extensive nature.
Mr. Benson was in earnest conversation with the
party complaining and an inspector of police when
our report was dispatched.
