SINGULAR CAREER OF A LADY.—At the Southampton Police-court, on Friday, Sarah Edith Westwood alias Edith Florence Westwood, alias Sally Rabbits a female swindler, well known in Bath, Bristol, Weymouth, Dorchester, Southampton, and other places, was charged under the Prevention of Crimes Act with failing to notify to the Superintendent of Police her arrival in the town within forty eight hours. The evidence showed that the defendant had been liberated on a ticket-of-leave, and that she had been levying black mail on lodging-house keepers. Her conviction and sentence to five years’ penal servitude was proved by the deputy governor of the Dorset County Prison, and Miss Westwood was then remanded, with the view of her being handed over to the proper authorities to complete her term. She is of good connections and education, being a clergyman’s daughter.
