POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
SATURDAY.
JULIA McADAMS (bond) charged with absconding.
The prisoner entered the service of MR. GALLOWAY [JAMES GALLOWAY] of Church-street, on Thursday fortnight, and on the Sunday following, having obtained permission to take two children out for a walk, after proceeding a short distance, sent one of the children home, and left the other, a child scarcely three years of age, in an unfrequented place, just at dark, also to find its way home how it could; and, in all probability, had not its crying attracted the notice of some person crossing the Green, the child would have been drowned, as he was making in the direction of the river. McADAMS, on being apprehended just as she was starting for Sydney, and taken to her mistress for recognition, being spoken to on her conduct, politely informed MRS. GALLOWAY [ANN GALLOWAY] that she might put her children round her neck and wear them as a necklace, and then proceed, direct, to the gentleman who lives down-stairs. McADAMS being a notorious absconder, was sent to the 3rd Class for four months, the first and last weeks of the period to [be] passed in the cells.
