OUT ON THE SPREE.—A few days ago a, telegram
was received by Mr. Hamilton, the Chief Inspector
of the City Detective Police, from the police authorities
of Glasgow, informing him that an inspector of the
poor in one of the parishes of that city had decamped
with about £lOO of the public money, and as it
was supposed that he had come to London, a descrip-
tion was given of his person with a view to his appre-
hension. Instructions were accordingly given by
Mr. Hamilton to Webb, a very useful officer of the
detective department, to be on the look out, and they
both made enquiries, the result of which led them to
believe that the information they had received was
correct, and that the bird really was in Loudon. They
at length learned that there was a probability
that he would come to the General Post Office, in Saint
Martin's-le-Grand, some morning, for a letter, and the
two officers accordingly took up their station in the hall
for ono or two mornings ; and on Friday, while they
were watching, a person came up, whose appearance in-
duced them to believe that he was the party they were
in search of. His course of life in London, however,
added to the fact that he was differently dressed to what
they expected, led them to entertain some doubt, as they
only had a description of his person; if he had denied
that he was the party they were seeking for, they would
not have felt themselves justified in taking him into
custody. They, therefore, prudently waited to see what
turned up, and the parties sauntered about the hall
for nearly half-an-hour, watching each other, the sus-
pected person evidently eyeing the letter department
with some anxiety, but, at the same time, not much
liking the appearance of the two officers, and looking
particularly hard at Inspector Hamilton, as though he
had some knowledge of him. The inspector seeing this
told Webb he should leave him to finish the affair, and
went away, and then Webb went into the department
where letters are left for parties to apply for and quietly
awaited the result. In a very short time the stranger
came in and inquired if there was a letter for him, men-
tioning a name, and Webb at once saluted him with
the exclamation, " Oh, Mr. So-and-so, from Glasgow."
The stranger at once admitted that he was the per-
son the officer was in search of, and Webb took him
to the police station. The prisoner, who is quite a
young man, and stated to be very respectably connected,
subsequently informed the officers that he had taken the
money for the purpose of coming to London and having
" a spree," but his expedition did not appear to have
turned out a very happy one, either in its progress or
its termination, for the prisoner states that very shortly
after he arrived in London he went to Cremorne, where
he was robbed of nearly the whole of the money, and
was subsequently reduced to great destitution, and was
obliged to sell his clothes for subsistence. The letter
he went to apply for he expected to have contained a
remittance from his friends in Scotland. The prisoner
has since been sent back to Glasgow upon the charge of
embezzlement of the public money.
