POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MONDAY.
WINNIFRED [sic] KELLY, (bond) had to answer a charge of a very enormous die; first, there was playing at games of chance on the Sabbath day; secondly, that of conveying the luxury of tobacco into that portion of the Factory, where the regulations decree it shall be an unknown weed. KELLY having on the previous day the privilege of a few hours’ absence from her master, employed herself—better the day, better the deed, in playing such games of chance as flinging tobacco over the back wall of the Factory—the gain thus being all on one side, whilst the odds, as her detection and apprehension for this unlawful pitch and toss proved on hers—by a reward for this gambolling, her receiving two months to the third class.
