POLICE INTELLIGENCE— This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

INCORRIGIBLE.—Jane Baldock, a girl about 16
years of age, was charged before Mr. Knox with
robbing a child, and after hearing the evidence of
Rhoda Greathurst, Mr. Knox remanded her with
the view of finding a reformatory to send her to.
On being again brought to the court, Welsh, the
office keeper, having succeeded in obtaining a
promise from Miss Nichols, the lady superinten-
dent of the Protestant Reformatory for Girls,
Church-row, Hampstead, that she should be
admitted, he at once recoguizad her as a girl who,
about three years ago, he took to an industrial
school in Lissou-street, and after being there a
short time she attempted to burn down the build-
ing, having got up in the dead of the night and
laid a train for the purpose and then gone to bed
again. She was tried at the sessions and sentenced
to 15 months' imprisonment, but after being
there six months, her conduct being good, the rest
of her term of iMprisonment was abandoned, and
she was discharged. There were two other charges
against the prisoner of robbing children.
The prisoner ustia (hat if forgiven this time she
would never come to the court again.
Mr. Knox said he would hear another case against
the prisoner.

A little boy named Hiscock, the son of a police-
constable, deposed to being robbed of a shilling by
the prisoner while on an errand for his mother.
Mr. Knox said he scarcely knew what to do with
the prisoner. He had made arrangements for her
to be taken to the reformatory, and Miss Nicholls
would have taken her in, but after what he had
heard about her attempting to set fire to the insti-
tution in Lisson-street he could not think of send-
ing her to another, as the aext thing that would be
heard of was of the place being burnt down. The only
thing he could do was to send her to prison for two
terms of three mouths each.

Welsh said that in consequence of the prisoner's
attempting to set fire to the institution the com-
mittee had to leave the house and withdraw the
Government certificate.
