POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
GUILDHALL.

Yesterday Susannah Bressenden, aged 19, was charged with
attempting to steal a quantity of baby linen, under singular
circumstances.

Teralli, of 189, Bishopsgate-street, stated that the pri-
soner, on the night of the 25th of December, excited consi-
derable alarm in the house by declaring she had been met on
the staircase by a bulgier, who had escaped at the back of the
house. Some baby linen was found to have been packed up in
two bundles, and removtd to a different part of the house.
Subsequently the prisoner produced three letters addressed to
her, in which the thief declared he would have revenge for
having been interrupted by l,er. He also menaced the life of
complainant, and the inspector placed a man constantly within
call. It turned out, however, that these letters, which were
full of the vilest expressions, were written by the prisoner her-
self, and put in the posts office, and she admitted that the story
of the burglar was a fabrication, to disturb the peace of the
family.
Sir. Alderman J. JOHNSON asked the prisoner what reason
she had for writirg such shameful letters? She said she had
no particular reason.
The ALDERMAN said she must have had a motive. She
said,. very calmly, that she wished to disturb the peace of the
family.
The ALDERMAN asked who had assisted her in it? She
Lo person had aided her.
Sir. Barry, of Spital-square, stated, that she was the daugh-
ter of a poor widow, who died in Ib4o, and he was one of
several widows he visited as the member of a charitable society.
He took the girl into his house nine yeats ago, and she w.is
educated with his own children till she was of age to be placed
as an assistant to a lady who had a stand in Soho Bazaar. She
was allowed 7s. 6d. per week fsr her services, and the
society to which he belonged added half-a-clown per week
more, to enable her to maintain herself. The lady procured
a lodging for her, free of expens', by obtaining leave that she
should sleep with a. servant. This servant was unfortunately
a very wicked creature, and had corrupted the prisoner's mind.
She w as at length detected in pilfering at the Bazaar, and turned
away. The witness took her home again, and placed her in a
female penitentiary, where she bore the rigid discipline so well
for 15 months, that he was persuaded she was contrite and re-
formed, and got a friend in Bishopsgate-street to receive her,
and teach her how ehold work. While there, she saw the bill
at Sir. Teralli's, and entered his service. •
'the ALDERMAN asked where she would go if she were dis-
charged ?—She replied that she would endeavour to get an
honest living.
'the ALDERMAN, after some conversation with the corn-
pisitiant, remanded her for a few days, to consider how she
should be disposed uf.
