THAMES.

INGENIOUS SMUGGLING.—George Pratt, aged 21
years, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged
with smuggling on board the General Steam Navi-
gation Company's ship Waterloo.
The prisoner was a passenger on board the
Waterloo from Rotterdam, and on her arrival here
on her last trip an out-door officer of Customs,
named William Roberts, asked him if he had any
goods liable to duty, to which he replied in the ne-
gative. The attention of the officer was then called
to a box containing four pairs of doves belonging
to the defendant, and when removing what appeared
to be the real bottom of the box, he found another
board below it. Bitween the two boards there was
three and a half pounds of foreign manufactured
tobacco very ingeniously concealed. The prisoner
said the tobacco was his, and that it was given to
him.

Mr. Benson asked if the prisoner had any con-
nexion with the vessel or the respectable company
to which she belonged, and the reply was that the
prisoner was only a passenger on board the Water-
loo, and was formerly the cook of a sailing vessel
called the Wellington.

Mr. Benson said the prisoner had displayed re-
markable ingenuity in secreting the tobacco in a box
of birds, and convicted him in the full pJnalty of
£3 35., which he paid.

A TICKET-OF-LEAVE WOMAN.—Elizabeth Drum-
mond, a most audacious thief, who has been re-
peatedly in custody, was brought before Mr. Ben-
son charged with stealing two sovereigns from the
person of John M'Gowan, a seaman, belonging to
the ship Hudson.

The prisoner has been long dwelling in Angel-
gardens, Shadwell, where none but fallen angels and
their paramours reside. She was convicted on the
18th of October, 1354, and sentenced to five years
penal servitude for a highway robbery with violence,
and at that time a former conviction and twelve
months' imprisonment was proved against her.
She received a ticket-of-leave and license six
months ago, and has been dwelling in her old
haunts since. She met the prosecutor in a public-
house called the White Fox yesterday evening.
She took two sovereigns and some greenbacks from
the sailor's pockets, and he saw the gold in her
hand. It is -believed she handed her booty to a
confederate. The prisoner denied the robbery and
sail she had been stopping with another sailor who
gave her £lO on Monday.

Mr. Benson remanded the primer till Welles-

day next.
