BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Ellen Ryan was charged with stealing a shawl, value 35., from
Sarah Brennan, the keeper of a " wardrobe shop" in King-street,
Long-acre.
The p.rosecutrix said that the prisoner, who was an old acquaint..
ance of hers, came to see her yesterday, and having been in her
shop talking with her for some time, asked her to go and get some
beer. She went out for some beer, and on returning she thought
she saw the prisoner putting something under her shawl.
The prisoner immediately said, without having been accused by
her, that she had not stolen anything. She saw at once, however,
that the shawl had been removed. She immediately taxed the pri-
soner with taking it, and sent her little girl to fetch a policeman,
standing in the doorway in the meantime to prevent her from
escaping. As soon as the child was gone, theprisonertookthe shawl
from under the one she wore at the time, and, running to the door
which led to the next room, threw it into that room.

The prisoner made no defence, but was committed for trial al
the nest Clerkenwell sessions.

SOUTHWARK-(THIS DAY.)

William Thane and Christopher Slight were charged with being
drunk and creating a disturbance.
It appeared that the defendants were engaged during the day at
the Southwark election, and that they afterwards retired to the
Ship at Stone's.end, and, with Mr. Pilcher's committee, drank
rather deeply. After quitting the house between twelve and one
o'clock, when they got into the street they commencdd blowing a
horn, and shouting in such a manner as to disturb the inhabitants.
When taken into custody 'Thane was very violent, and struck the
policeman, when they were taken into custody.
Slight, in defence, said he was a medical student, and admitted
that he was induced to take too much liquor owing to the election.
The other defendant said that he was sorry for what had happened,
but he thought there was no harm in blowing the horn, as he had
been permitted to do so all day.
Mr. TItAILL fined Thane I Os., and the other defendant 55., for
being drunk.
