BOW-S-TREET-(T HIS DAY.)

A neat:y attired, good-looking young female, named Mary
Anne Broddick was-brought up before Mr. JARDINE, charged
with the following robbery :

Mrs. Mattbevik the prosecutor, of No. 12, Crown-street,
stated that oa Wednesday last, about half-past seven in the
evening, she sept A little girl named Ann Eagles, who was in
her employ, to Queen• street, with a bundle of linen, containing
1 sheet, 4 petticoats, 4 pairs of socks, 1 pair of stockings, 2
shawls, an apron, 5 pinbefores, 4 nightgowns, 4 towels, and
other articles—value, in the whole, about 30s.

Ann Eagles ;corroborated the prosecutrix's evidence, and
stated that when she wentwith the linen, she took her mistress's
little boy with; her; ; just before she arrived at Queen-street, tine
prisoner came up and said to witness—alluding to the child—
" Poor little, fellew, let me carry him for you." She then
asked witness to go and get change of a sovereign for her, at
the same time giving her a piece of paper with something
wrapped up.frid it. Witness said she would, and was about to
unfold the paPer when the prisoner said, " Don't undo it, or
perhaps yoll'itt lose it." She then told witness to leave her
bundle and go and get the change. Witness left her bundle
accordinelyijand proceed( d on her errand. She turned the
corner of the street, but previous to going into a shop to ask
for change*he undid the paper to get out the sovereign, when,
to her surprise, all that she could see was a poor, solitary, un-
conscious, farthing ! She immediately retraced her steps to
the speit,'W,here she had parted from the prisoner; but alas, she
was gone ; or as Mr. Wakley might express it in the exuber-
ance oflisi.poetieal fancy--
Prisoner and bundle had fled together,
Atiticthough witness tried to, she couldn't End neither.
The nest day witness observed the prisoner going past her mis-
tress's house, whom, when the prisoner saw, she made off as last
as her legs could carry her. Witness gave the alarm, and the
expert young damsel wes pursued and secured by Policeman
10, who held her tight, and conveyed her to the station-house.
Eliza Steele kept an old clothes shop in Crown-street, St.
Gila's. Prisoner sold her some of the property, which prose-
clitrix identified as part of that which had been stolen.
The prisoner declining to say anything in her defence, was
fully committed for trial, and the witnesses having made their
respective", marks " to the depositions, the prisoner was re-
moved.
We understand these cases are of very frequent occurrence
just now, and people cannot be too cautious how they trust
young children with property in the streets, when there are so
many ways of defrauding and robbing them, which may be prac-
tised by persons cunning in the art.

MALBOROUGH-STREET.
(11111 S DAY.)
ROBBERY ay A SERVANT.—Aura Church, a good-looking
young woman about IS years of age, was charged with robbing
her master, Mr. Matthew Bewley, of No. 338, Piccaddly,
tobacconist and cigar dealer, under the following circumstances.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner hatl been in his service
only three weeks, when she came to him she was destitute and
had not AS she herself stated any money in her possession.
From time to time. he the prosecutor missed money from out
of the pockets of his clothes, which of a night on going
to bed he generally placed over a cot in which one
of his children slept. At first he did not sus-
pect the prisoner of being the thief, but in a few
days coming to the knowledge that she had money in her pos.
session, and had also purchased a shawl and some other articles
of wearing apparel, he last evening placed in his waistcoat
pocket some marked slyer money, to the amount of 2s. 6d.,
which he this morning missed, and in consequence called in a
policeman, and gave the prisoner into custody, and on her box
being searched the marked money in question was found, and
also some other coins, which he (the prosecutor) was able to
identify as having been stolen from him.
The pri.oner, on being called on for her defence, stated that
she picked the money up from the floor of the room, and
tho-aght she was entitled to it as the " sweeper's perquisites."
She was committed to take her trial at the Central Criminal
Court.

stable, G 42, under the colt owing circumstances.
The prosecutor stated that the pr.soner was disturbing the
peace in White Lion-street, with a crowd of women—that re-
fusing to cease he wrested him. On his way to the station-
'house he took out a knife and stabbed witness in the hand, so
as to render him unable to detain him further. He then
made his escape, but was soon after arrested by another police-
constable, whom he likewise assaulted in a savage manner.
He had three knives about him, one of which was stained with
blood. The policeman's hand was bandaged.

consequence. •
