grievance for persons thus to expose their property, thereby in-

allow the expences, except to the offices.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
Mary Turnbull, a child 13 yean of age, accompanied by her
mother, a respectably dressed widow, with an infant in her arms,
was introduced to the Magistrate by Mr. Thomas, Superintendent
of the division, under the following distressing circumstances :
Mr.. Turnbull having been lately left a widow with six children,
having no better mode of support, has supplied the tailors' trade
with needles, and Mary, her eldest child, was sent round with
them. Of late, however, her mother found her conduct to be very
undutiful and irregular, which caused her auvicion to be roused.
She theretore made a rigid search, and found, to her grief, this
comparatively speaking infant harboured in a brothel, kept byMrs.
Lukin, Banbury-court, Hart-street, to which place she had been
seduced by Mrs. Lukin to meet gentlemen, and where the child
had been six or seven times before.

Mr. Thomas, it appeared, has taken considerable pains to pro-
cure good testimony, with the view of rooting out this den of
early infamy, and to those exertions we attribute an expose that
baffles description.
. . . . .

Mrs. Lukin was placed at the bar, and it came out in evidence
that her trade was exclusively with young children only—girls of
16 or 18 years, being deemed too old, are invariably refused ad-
mittance.

Three of these miserable victims gave the most clear evidence
against the defendant, in which the whole machinery of this vile
place was laid open.
Nine girls of a similar age. were on Wednesday apprehended by
Mr. Thomas, and all sent to prison for seven days each.
The Magistrate (Mr. MlnsuuLL) very warmly concurred in the
measure adopted to put a stop to such dreadful traffic.
The woman, Lutin. was held to bail, to answer the complaint
at the Sessions, and the Magistrate also desired Mr. Thomas to
procure the parish to indict the house.
