POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Catherine Regan, the young woman who was given
into custody by her husband, a watchman belonging to
St. Clemnt's, for stealing a variety of articles from the
shop of Mr. Newby, pawnbroker, was brought up for
final examination.

The husband, whether from a feeling of shame in having
acted in so extraordinary a manner, or regret in being so
premature, did not attend to give any further evidence.
Mr. ROE—Certainly that is the strangest part of the
transaction. But how he hit upon your shop is the most
singular part.
Mr. Wilcox deposed, that upon last Saturday night,
' between the hours of nine ant! eleven, the prisoner came
into the shop to pledge sense article, when the four pair
of trowsers and the twenty pair of shoes were safe. They
were not missed until information was given to them.
About three o'clock on the Sunday morning they were
knocked up, and, on going to the door, the husband of the
prisoner stated that he had given his wife into custody for
robbing them, and that he had found the above articles,
and two fine gold brooches, which had been taken in pledge
in the course of Saturday. The prisoner was not present
when the husband gave the information. The property
stolen was worth five guineas.
S. Priest, shopman to Mr. Bassett, of Great Queea-
street, deposed that upon last Saturday night the pi isoner
came and pledged one pair of trowsers for eight shillings.
She then gave the name of Ann Jones.
Charles Mayhew, watchman, deposed, that the hus-
band of the prisoner came to him about three o'clock
last Sunday morning, and said he wanted him to take his
wife into custody for feh-ny ; and accordingly he went to
his lodging in Wild-court, and took her into custody.
J. Hone, constable, deposed, that the husband gave him
two brooches, which he said lie had taken from the wife;
when she was in the watch-house lie picked up a ticket fur
a pair of trowsers, in the name of Ann Jones.
Mr. Wilcox, shopman to Mr. Newby, informed the
worthy Magistrate that they recollected the prisoner
coming to the shop three times upon last Saturday night,
when they were extremely busy ; but they certainly did
not know what to mike of it by the husband bringing the
charge forward.
Mr. Roe—lt appears to me as a very awkward thing if
the husband is not mentioned in the depositions as given in
the information. Mr. Fitzpatrick—There is no need of
doing that.
Mr. Roe—The Court will wonder why the husband
was not committed also. Mr. Fitzpatrick--The witnesses
can explain the circumstances.
Mr. Roe—You told me, on being first brought here,
that a young man gave you the articles. Have you him
here? Prisoner—l do not know, for I have not seen any
person belonging to ate since I have been in prison ; but I
have plenty of proof that I never stole one of the articles,-
neither was I in the shop of the prom;cutor until near
twelve o'clock, as my husband did not come home until a
quarter before twelve o'clock.
Mr. Wilcox—The husband has sixty duplicates which
he has found since. Prisoner—They are all belonging to
me, and he was acquainted with the articles being pledged.
Mr. Roe—You must be committed to Newgate for the
offence.

The prisoner, who has three young children, the youngest
an infant at her breast, was fully committed for trial.

MATRIMONIAL FELICITY.---011 Sunday
last, Jolts YATES, who had been married 53 years, wore
the same coat at the funeral of dis wife in which he was
married, and although in his 78th year, he observed to
the sexton of our parish church, after the funeral, in refe-
rence to the antiquity of his coat, " If I thought I could
meet with another woman as I could like as well as the
one I have just buried, I would have no objection to be
married again in this old coat." The buttons on the back
of the coat are 15 inches asunder.—. Blackburn 111 u 1.

Greenwich fair, it is understood, will be more
extensive and better attended than for many years past, as
in addition to the Park and other attractions, two or three
of the Royal Family are expected on Easter Tuesday,
which will not fail to attract a numerous and fashionable
attendance.
