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 an iron hook at the end of it, fished
up the various articles through a broken pane of
glass in the skylight placed iu 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 he 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

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

A DETERMINED GANG OF ROBBERS.—Richard
Fox, described as a painter of no fixed home, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing five
Dresden China ornaments of the value of £9, the
property of Mr. Nathan Wolfe Jacobson, dealer in
fancy goods, No. 312, Oxford-street.
Miss Jacobson, daughter of the prosecutor,
said she was minding her father's shop the pre-
vious evening, about 6 o'clock, when the prisoner
and two others walked up to a table covered with
china goods, and each of them took up some of
them and ran away. She ran after them calling
Stop thief," and the prisoner was stopped by the
constable, but the others got away.
An assistant to Mr. Jacobson proved that the
value of the articles which had been thrown away
by the thieves in their flight, and of course broken,
was about D.
Pol
dutyi c e
n Bond-street
Weedon, 150 C, said that while
street the previous evening he
heard a cry of " Stop, thief," and seeing the pri-
soner running be stopped him. On taking the
prisoner back to Mr. Jacobson's, he found he had
been concerned with two others in stealing some
icon
on
china articles.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the constable whether he
saw anything of the other men.
The constable said he did not, and he heard that
they ran through Hanover-square.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner to see
whether there were any previous conviction against
him.

DARING BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.—Margaret
Stocks, alias Locker, a woman about 40 years of
age, with a child in her arms, was brought before
Mr. Paget charged with being concerned in a
burglary at the dwelling-house No. 11 Coles-place,
Commercial-road East, and stealing a shirt, two
petticoats, 30 yards of damask, six antimacassars,
and one pinafore, the property of Mr. William
Maxwell, also four dresses, two petticoats, and one
jacket, the property of Margaret Chaplin.
On Thursday afternoon a police - constable,
named James Crawley, 29 II reserve, saw the pri-
soner in Osborn-street, Whitechapel, carrying a
large bundle. A man, who was in earnest conver-
sation with her, was walking alongside. They pro-
ceeded as far as Flower-street and Dean-street, a
colony of thieves andother bad characters„ on which
the policeman approached, and the man ran away
and soon disappeared. Crawley took the prisoner
into custody, and obtained possession of the bundle,
which contained the articles enumerated in the
charge-sheet, and valued in all at £lO. He asked
the prisoner where she obtained the things, to
which she replied that a man gave them to her to
carry. She was taken before Mr. Norton, at the
Worship•street Police-court, on Friday, and he
discharged her, and directed Crawley to retain
possession of the property and arrest the prisoner
again if an owner could be found.
Mrs. Mary Maxwell of 11, Cold-place, now
identified the whole of the property which be-
longed to her husband and servant. Her dwelling
was broken into on Tuesday night last or early on
Wednesday morning, and the articles in the
bundle stolen from the back kitchen and other parts
of the house. •
