POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
SATURDAY.
MARGARET O’NEILL, (bond), was charged with absconding.
It appeared that about a fortnight since, O’NEILL, tired of cooking chops and steaks for her employer, resolved to make a chop of Parramatta for Sydney, where she had a stake of her own in the semblance of a faithful and devoted lover, a regular man of wax, for he was a cordwainer; but unfortunately being met one evening by one of MILES’ Boys who was a bit of an artizan [sic], for he was a closer and tapper, and MARGARET’s account of herself altho’ a current one, being not clear, she was introcuced [sic] to the notice of the Principal Superintendent of Convicts, in whose Biographicl [sic] volumes it was recorded that O’NEILL was an absentee—hence her present appearance. O’NEILL admitted her little excursive flight of fancy, and was sent two months to the third class.
