POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
FRIDAY.
MARY FITZGERALD assigned to MR. SIMPSON, of Kissing Point, appeared under the suspicion of being an absentee.
FOX deposed that at about half-past ten on Tuesday night, he met the prisoner walking in Church-street, and as she had no pass he confined her.
FITZGERALD’s defence was that she had come into town on the previous day with an application for a Ticket, and having met an old particular, she missed the steamer, and some how or other, through a variation in the clocks and watches,, she continued to mistake the starting time of every trip on Tuesday, but really intended even supposing she had to walk, to proceed home next morning, but which her present detention now prevented—she was returned to the Factory.
