SITTINGBOURNE PETTY SESSIONS.

Before Sir J. Tylden, J. D. Dyke, and W. Bland, Esqrs. Monday, February 6th.

David Fenner, landlord of the "Alma," applied for a warrant to arrest a "nymph of the pave" named Gladstone, charging her with stealing sundry articles of dress from his residence on or about the 22nd December, 1859. Application had been previously made to the police of the town for her arrest for robbery, who had refused to interfere in the matter, and the magistrates from certain disclosures, and owing to the nature of the case, refused the warrant.
