While in London, Bendeno received a very loving letter from his wife, who said that she would meet him at Nottingham, as he had desired her. He left London as soon as he possibly could, and went down to Nottingham, but his missus was not there. He then proceeded .to Liverpool, and went to an hotel, where he and his wife had been previously living. When he arrived there, he foi)nd that all his furniture, including apiano-forte,haddisappearel; and that his wife was also non est inventus. Scott, the detective-officer, Was communicated with, and from en quiries he made in connection with Inspector Hodgson, of- Birkenhead, it was found that the furniture of Bendeno was in a house in German-terrace, Price-street, Birkenhead. Hodson went to the house and found that it was shut up, all the doors and windows beinc , fas tened. lie p rocure d a ladder, went up to' the drawing-rOoth window, broke a pane of glass, and forced hiinself through the window. About eleven o'clock at night a gentleman came to the house, opened the door and went in, and was received :by Hodson. The gentleman asked the detective what he wanted there. Hodson intimated his business, and said, — "Although the house may be yours, the furniture is not." Mr. Wood, in. reply, said,—" It is the property of Bendeno." 'Bendeno • afterwards turned up, and it would *war that he and the prisoner, accompanied by detective-officer Scott and Mr. Woods, went to Notting ham im search of Mrs. Bendeno. There they found her, and all the parties returned to Liver pool in " great good humour ;" but ala s ! th e hopes of an amicable e n di ng were dspersed by Bendeno giving Woods into custody on the charge of having con spired with his' (Bendeno's) wife to defraud him and steal his property, including his wife.

They made some enquiries, and found that a house had been taken, No. 8, German-terrace, Price-street, Birken head, by Mr. Woods. They could not gain an extrance, and he obtained a ladder, ascended'to the drawing-room window, broke a pane o f g l ass , opened the sas'h, and wnnt. iiitn _ (Hodson) remained there until a late hour in the night, when he heard a rustle at the door, which was opened, and the prisoner entered.

It may be so, replied the detective, but who does the furniture .belong to ? " Why, its Joe Bendeno's wife's."
