| Henry Badgett was sent on 10 the Hastings Court
| for examination.
| CHARLOTTE CLIFFORD, alias CHARLOTTE GRIFFITHs,
arrested at the Mechanics Institute on Wednesday
| night, for picking the pocket of Mrs. Maria Car
penter, of pearl porte monnaie, containing some
| 81 in silver, and number of receipts,
| raigned yesterday. Mrs. Carpenter stated that
| she stsnding in the crowd, when she felt a
| hand in her pocket, aud turning round, sew the
accused have pocket book in her hand, which she
believed was hers, which she missed at the same
| moment. She Immediately informed Dir. Carpen
| ter that that lady had her pocket book. He told
her not to be too positive, and she replied she Ger.
| tainly has it in her hand.
| The accused was watched for some time, until
she went down the front steps, when officer Morri.
| arrested her. pocket book was found in her bag,
(, but not the one which Mrs G. lost.
John Gilmer stated that he found a pearl porte
| mon naie the floor at the Mechanics Institute,
| Wednesday night, near the place described by Mrs
Carpenter, and advertised it in the Dispatch. This
was produced in court, and identified by Mrs. Car
| penter as her own.
| The accused told the officers at the watch house
| that she came there in the cars, but afterwards
stated that she came from Norfolk, in the James.
town. 1t appears, however, that she came from
New York.
Mr.. Fry, of the Powhatan House, made state.
| ment with regard to the arrival of the accused
at his hotel on Monday. She was in company with
man and another woman. The man registered
the names as &C. Gritfiths, lady and sister," He
had seen nothing of them since they went out
Wednesday evening, until he saw the accused and
her male companion in court. Did not know what
became Of the other woman.
Some other testimony was taken, after which
the accused made statement, accusing the Off :
GERS of making the search of her person at the
watch house under circumstances of great out
rage. The Mayor reprimanded the officers and
gave them positive orders to avoid such proceed
ings in future. Ii is proper to remark that the of
hcers deny the accusation.
The Mayor remauded the woman, and said that
as the pocket book contained receipt for $35, he
probably ought TO remand her for grand larceny,
but would admit her TO bail in the sum of $500
The accused wept bitterly during the whole
examination.
CHARLES GRIFFIrHs seen in company with Char.
lotte Grifiths at the Mechanics Institute, aud
who is also the person with her at the Powhatan
House, WAS held to bail in the of 5000 to keep
the peace, which he failed ogive. He claims that
the woman is his wife, and manifests a commenda-
bic disposition to stand by her in this difficulty.
