POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
SATURDAY.
MARGARET ARMSTRONG, assigned to MR. SMITH, of Eastern Creek, having had a slight difference of opinion with her mistress, and, in the height of vexation, having forgot all about that eventful epoch in her life when one of her Majesty’s Justices of “Oyer and Terminer” decreed she should visit New South Wales, for the term of seven years. And mistaking April, 1838 for 1837, affirmed she was as free as the Governor, and quitted Mr. SMITH’s establishment, with mixed feelings of pleasure and contempt. The Bench deeming this absconding, sentenced her, for two months, to the 3rd Class of the Female Factory.
