It was due to the characters dl these Gen dem. u, ho took so prominent and sincere apart in t h e preven o , or of an unmerited . punishment, to do-.

QUEEN-SW,UAItE.—A most extensive robbery has lairs) , been committed in the house of John Carter, E.g. M. P. 16. Duke-street, Storey's-gate, Westinin ster, under the following circumstances :—Mr. Car ter end'his family have been for some time at Ports- I , !mirth, for which place he is a Member, and his house in coon was lett in the care of a woman who had lived several months in the family in the capacity of This Woman on Thursday last gave notice to her master's friends in town that the house had been robbed the night before. Mr. Smith, of Perk-street, Westminster, son of the Member lot Norwich, and brother to Mrs. Carter, immed.ately sent ter Bligh, an officer of Queen square, who, in company with Gilmour, of the same mime, went to examine the premises. Bligh stated to the Magistrate, that he and Gilmour examined the house with the greatest cam it'd attention, and found that not a single fastening ef ether door or window had been forced, or in any way injured. They were therefore consinced the robbery must have been committed by persons within t se house. Witness questioned the cook who had teti care of the home; and timling her prevaricate v. ry much, he said to her, as if he knew it, " You have had somebody sleeping in the house with you ;" which she owned a young man, whom she had for time kept company with, had now and then slept there for security to the house; sled if he had not betn absent on Wednesday night, the robbery would tot have taken place ; but she being so deaf, couli not hear them enter the house. Witness then drew I trom her that this young man was a Waterman at Hungei ford, named Davis, on which he and his bro ther officer went and took him into custody. The prisoner, Henry Davis, on being questioned by the Magistrate, prevaricated greatly; but at length ac knoeledged that he did sleep in the home en Wed nesday night.—He was remanded. Surannah Turner, the cook belore mentioned, was then put to the bar, and being asked what she knew relative to the robbery ? said, that she fastened all the windows and doors before she went to bed; and when she camedown stairs in the morning, she found a candle burning in the kitchen, and the door wide open.
