base, they marched off to their respective quarters, which

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-TIIIS DAY.

BOW-STREET.

THE NIGHT PROWLEII3 OF LoNpoNT —Two men,
named James Scott an 1 Alexander Campbell, and
three women, name] Ellen Wilton, Eliz t S:nith,
and Emily Scott, were br before M: Vaughan
under the following eircumitanc.?s :
Mr. Fair fi,x Franklin, of Norfolk-street, Strand,
estate agent, stated that about one o'clock thi;
morning he was passing through Surrey-street, on
his way home, when he was accosted by the
female prisoners, Wilton and Scott. He tried to get
away from them, but they continued to walk on
beside him. The two male prisoners were follow-
ing on the other side of the street. The two wo-
men got in front of him, and one of them thrust her
hands under his coat, which was buttoned, and be-
gan fingering his waistcoat pocket (where his watch
was), and his guard, while another " attempted" his
purse. He got away from them for the moment,
and went on towards home. As they persisted
in following him, he went to the door
of a house in Norfolk-street, thinking to
get rid of him by letting them suppose that he was.
going in there. Ile did at last get rid of them by
giving them ls. each. (They had previously asked
him for money.) He then went into his own
house, left his purse, watch, and chain at home,
took a stick instead of his umbrella, and went out
again. He stood in his own door way and watched
the two women. He saw them accost an old gentle-
man, Mr. Bennett, now present. The two men Scott
and Campbell were still on the opposite side of the
way. Scott parted from Campbell, ran across the
street, and knocked Mr. Bennett down. The pri-
soners went- away towards the Strand. Witness
followed, but before he could overtake them
the two women had been given in custody by Mr
Probert. Witness spoke to another constable who
took the two men in custody. He knew nothing
about Eliza Smith. He heard Emily Scott call James
Scott her husband.

En ily Scott said the witness was wrong. The
other pisoners were apprehended first. She was
afterwards taken into custody on another charge.
Henry Probert, brass-finisher, residing in Searle's-
street, Langharn-place, said that having been at
North Woolwich on business, and having lost the
train, be came up in a cab, which he discharged at a
hotel in Norfolk-street about a quarter to two o'clock.
He then saw the prisoners Ellen Wilton and Eliza
Smith talking to an old gentleman at the corner of
Noforlk-street and Howard-street. That was when
Mr. Bennett was present. Witness turned round
for a moment towards the hotel, and on looking
back saw Mr. Bennett lying on the ground, and
his walking stick flying across the street. The two
men were walking away, and Eliza Smith was run-
ning towards the Strand. Witness spoke
to Mr. Bennett, who said he had been
robbed of his watch and chain. Witness
called a policeman, and went after the women, and
gave them in charge. The men were taken by ano-
ther policeman. Emily Scott then came up, seized
James Scott round the neck, called him her hus-
band, and declared that he should not go to the
station.

Mr. Franklin produced a gold albert watch-key
which he had picked up on the spot where Mr. Ben-
nett fell.
Mr. Absolom Bennett, gentleman, said he was
staying at a private hotel in Norfolk-street. A
little before two this morning he was going home,
when he was accosted by two women. 11e was then
suddenly struck from behind and fellel to the
ground. The attack was s) instantaneous that he
knew very little of what occurred. He did not re-
member what the women sail. As soon as ho re-
covered frcm the fall he missed his watch, chain,
and key. He identified the key found by Mr.
Franklin.
Police-sergeant Hargreaves, 14 F, who took the
women in custody, corroborated Mr. Probert's ac-
count of that portion of the transaction.
The prisoners, who all denied acting as had been
described, were remanded.
