CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY).

A little girl aged about thirteen, named Anne
Carruthers, was charged with robbing her mother.
The mother who cried bitterly whilst giving her evi-
dence, deposed that during the last two years the pri-
soner was in the constant habit of stealing everything
within her reach. She earned a very small pittiance by
brace-making, and the prisoner bad gone to her em-
ployer, Mr. Arrowsmith, of Gutter-lane, Cheapside,
last week and, taken away her week's earnings, every
farthing of which she spent before she returned.
Mr. GREENWOOD asked the mother if she wished to
send her for trial?
The Mother—Oh, pray, Sir, don't send her for trial,
don't send her to prison, but myself and my family
would feel for ever grateful to you if you could get her
into an asylum.
Mr. Baylis, the second usher, said he had already
taken the child to the Refuge for the Destitute in the
Hackney-road, but they refused to receive her because
her right hand was crippled.
The Magistrate, however, interested himself in the
matter, and got the child into the House of Refuge in
Red Lion-square.
