POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
TUESDAY.
CAROLINE BROWN (bond) entered the service of MRS. EDROP, on Tuesday, and on Friday morning, having dressed herself cap-a-pie with one of that lady’s bonnets—cloaked herself with her mistress’ cloak—and slipped stays with a pair belonging to the same owner, decamped to Sydney, where she was subsequently found in a house of not very transcendent character, in Kent-street, whither with her borrowed plumes she had winged her flight. A portion of the missing gear being found in personal possession, there was little opportunity for denial—and the production of a green silk cloak made the prisoner look rather blue, more particularly when the Court sentenced 12 months to the third class.
