The Judge referred him tette' letter of December 21. the

Mr. Vernon gave notice that he objected ; but so sear
were Mr. Hole and Mr. Vaitisheed to appropriate this

MR. HAMMOND THE " RVANGELD3r SENT TO

About mid-day on the 4th instant • man of very respecta-
ble and clerical appearance called at the house of Mr. John
Roberta. in Brouglitowroad, elkshasn, and inquired of
Mrs. Roberts, her husband being at work, if elis could
oblige him by allowing him to have • wash. Mn. Roberts,
allowed the "gentleman" to have a swill upstairs, and,
atter thanking her, he left When he was gone, she went
into the room where he had washed, and noticing that •
watch which was there and several other things had been
left untouched, still concluded that her visitor was what
he appeared tube—s *Woman. When her hatband
came 60010 to dinner she told him of what had occurred,
bat he not placing such rattanse in the moral uprightness
of the "gentleman" made a search in the room where that
individual had been. He soon discovered that • box,
which was in • cupboard,and the key of which had been
lying on the dressing-table, had been unlocked, and from
It half-a-sovereign bad been abstracted. Two or three
silver coins In it were untouched, but • gold one had
certainly disappeared. Inspector Perrott happened to he
near the home at the time, and he wee appe4od by Kr.
Roberts of what had occurred. The man was tracked to
the railway station, and from there it was found he had
gone by the 212 train to Trowbridge. The next train was
not till 110. so the inspector thought the hest thing to do
would be to send • description of the individual who was
•I wanted" by • mounted messenger to Trowbridge. The
mounted messenger was a bicyclist, who covered the
ground in a short space of time, and reached Trowbridge
soon after the train. Just previously to this P. S. Priest
had noticed a clergyman, apparently • stranger, peas the
police-etehon. 0011 when the menienger gave him the

_prisoner as the
individual who was s of the theft. He was
attired in an orthodox sult of black cloth, wore • soft felt

• black bag. He refused to give his name or to state any

which he was going to hire to Mach in at Weymouth.
On him was found • halt-sovereign besides some silver and

had copious marginal notes., end another book, out of
which the name lately had been erased. There is some
portlon of truth In his tale about the tent, for he was seen

" OUR Bore" AT THZ THIATHZ.—"IIa well for knell of

Neebe, not only knows • good thing when it comes within
his scope, but also that he finds out excellencies, and is
willing to let Weymouth have the basalt of his good tad*
The last great treat Mr. limbs has provided at our
Theatre Royal is the opportunity of seeing that remark-
able comedy, "Our Boys,' which hoe had the enormous
run of 1,118 nights in London, and nearly 900 times in
the provinces. It were almost needless to say anything
about a play, the swore of which lien triumphant : but
those who have not seen It may wonder what is the cause
of its wonderful reception. It may be accounted for by
the fact that "Our Boys" exhibits the play of pensions
in • fresh and pure runner, and them passion include
not only the old old subject—Lon between man and
woman, but also filial and fatherly affection, while the
latter is interfered with by fatherly despotism manifested
in different ways, but leading to the same reset, dis-
turbance of peace and happiness, although the affection
reaseerts its power, and eventually joy returns. An old
and proud gentleman and his rich old neighbour, once •
butterman, are expecting their sons horns, the patrioean
building on his son becoming • politician, the plebeian
hoping first • loving son, and next to lind in him •

The picturesque ruffling of "the warm of true lore' is
here accomplished by the two fathers setting themselves
each against his eon's choice, and commanding him to
marry the other. They cannot, will not, and are turned
out of doors by their fathers who thus play the ancient
Roman. Instead of giving as the UMW poverty-struck 1
