MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.

Elizabeth Richards was indicted for passing a
base shilling on the 29th of July, and a counterfeit
sixpence en the following day.
It appeared from the evidence of a Police patrol,
named Sleigh (as we understood it) that he saw the
prisoner, with whose character he was well ac-
quainted, going into several shops; he followed
her into one shop, and ascertained that she bad
passed a bad shilling. She then went into another
shop, where she endeavoured to pass a shilling; but
the woman to whom she offered it ridiculed the at-
tempt to deceive her, observing, that if it were dark
she would know the quality of a coin by its feel.--
Whilst the officer was inquiring into the prisoner's
success at this last shod, she made her escape, but
was taken into custody next day, by another officer,
in the attempt to pass a bad sixpence.
The CHAIRMAN asked Sleigh, the police patrol,
why he did not arrest the prisoner when he ascer-
tained that she had passed one counterfeit shilling,
instead of giving her the opportunity of committing
another crime.

Sleigh hesitated, and, after a pause, said, ". Why,
I thought to tnake out a case against her."
The CHAIRMAN—You know that she had passed
a bad shilling; was not that a sufficient case ? It
was your duty to take her into custody. I don't un.
derstand this system of allowing persons to go at
large for the purpose of enticing them to be guilty
of another offence. This is not the way to prevent
crime. I don't mean to blame you, but let me not
hear of such a thing again.
The CHAIRMAN, in summing up, reprobated the
conduct of police officers, who suffered parties to
go at large after they had been ascertained to have
committed a crime.

The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to
12 months' imprisonment and to find the usual
sureties.
