POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

ROBBING A PAWNBROKER.—An elderly woman
named Jane Barton, and a lad named Swanton,
were placed at the bar, charged with robbing Mr.
Gush.

The prosecutor was a pawnbroker, carrying
on business in Stanhope-street, Clare-mar-
ket, and from time to time various articles
taken in pledge had been stolen from the
warehouse. It was at last discovered that some
person had, by means of crawling over the tops of
some of the adjoining houses, and with the aid of a
long stick with au iron hook at the end of it, fished
up the various articles through a broken pane of
glass in the skylight placed in the roof of the ware-
rooms of Mr. Gush, which were situate at the top
of his house, and made off with them. A bedtick,
which had been so stolen, was found to have been
again pledged at the shop of Mr. Kirkman in the
Strand.

The boy, upon being asked what he had to say,
said he thought it was best to tell the truth. He
took the tick and counterpane produced from Mr.
Gush's warehouse, and when he got home
he told his mother he had found the
articles in the street. His mother questioned him
when he told her it was quite correct that he had
found the property.

The mother said, immediately she found that the
boy had stolen the goods, she sent him to the pawn-
broker and told him of the circumstance.

Mr. Gush said be had for the last eight weeks
continually had property which he had taken in
pledge asked for, but he was quite unable to pro-
duce it, and consequently he had to pay the value
of it to the owner.

The magistrate committed both prisoners for
trial.
