meeting adjourned to the outside a tne Town Hall
to view three sites within a short distance of that
building. Mr. Brock accompanied those present,
and measurements were taken of the ground.
Mr. Brook said the statute would be 22 feet in
height, and the base would be 8 feet in diameter.
He did not propose to put any fencing around the
pedestal other than tour small blocks of granite. A

Some discussion arose as to the advisability of
having a relievo on the pedestal.
Mr. John Brinton, M P., said it -was desirable to
have it if they had the funds at their disposal, but
they were lacking £3OO, and he thought at the
present time, with another Sir Rowland Hill
memorial on the tapis, it would be very difficult to
get that amount.
Eventuully it was decided to dispense with the
relievo. It was also decided to adopt the site
between the Bank Buildings and the Town Hall.
Mr. Brock stated that he believed he should have
the statute ready by November next. The total
cost of the statute, as at present decided upon, will
be £1,300. In addition to this will be the putting
in a foundation, the cost of the opening ceremony.
and other expenses, which it is believed would
bring it up to between £1,400 and £1,500.

DIJDLKY,_
TSB ROBBERIES BY A RETURICED CONVICT.-At

the Police Court on Wednesday, before G. Bagott,
J. Bateman, and G. Thompson, Esqrs., Henry
Green alias !Robert Smithemin (30), a returned "
convict, under polit e supervision, was brought up
in cnstoly on remand to answer several charges of
stealing money and articles from children in
different parts of the dis.rict on various dates. The
first case taken was that of stealing from a little •
boy named Thomas Wise, of Tividale, ton !
sovereigns, belenging to Mr. William Wise, 'audit
lord of the Wren's Nest Inn, Dudley Port. The bey
was sent last Saturday with £lO in a satchel to Ditd•
ley for change When in the Birmingham Eo el,
Dudley, near the Limekiln Gates, he met pris, n, .
who asked him to carry a basket. which be said
was coming in by train. The basket, however,
was not forthcoming, and prisoner then told Jaek• .
son that he had seen him in Dudley on many pro:
vim, occasions and had wondered whether he cam,
for change. The bey replied that he had come for
change, and prisoner then, under the pretence that
he could accommodate him with change out of OD
worth which he had at home, enticed him up
Trindle-road, and on to some waste ground, wh re
he took his satchel, containing the ten sovereigns,
from him and transferred them to a purse of his
own. He then turned back in the direction of the
railway station, saying he had f.rgotton to collect
an account. On arriving opposite the station
prisoner asked Jackson "to go and tell Willy tO
bring the change," but the boY, replying that 10
did not know Willy, prisoner said, -You stay he'll
and I will go." He then ran in the direction of tl.O
railway station, and Jackson followed. The boy
then returned home' and later accompanied his
father to Dudley and gave information to the police.
On returning home again the boy espied the
prisoner passing up Birmingham-road in a cab.
He was followed to the Green Man Inn, where the
cab stopped and prisoner was detained until the
arrival of Police-inspector Wigley, who took hint
into custody. Prisoner appeared to be very indig•
nant at being arrested, and told the officer he hati
made a mistake, but on being searched at ths
Police Station a purse containing five sovereigns
was found up in him. He also had a new travel-
ling bag, which on being opened was found to con-
tain the clothes in which he was attired when he
robbed Jackson, having in the meantime provided
himself with a complete new suit, new ha',
umbrella, boots, and even a new pocket-handker-
chief. On Monday he was identified by font
different persons as having robbed them, and then
said he should plead guilty to everything brought
against him. Ho now asked no questions, and
was committed for trial to the Quarter Sessions.-;-
There were charges on the book against prisoner of
stealing £1 us lod. from a girl named Ann Cowell.
of Charlotte-street, Dudley, on the 14th of Fel.-
ruary, the money being her father's wages which
she-was taking home ; also ircharge of stealing a
watch from a boy named Joseph Dewsbury, at
Bilston, on the 25th of April; stealing £2 Is 6d.
from Mary Jane Evans, at Round Oak, on the 711
inst, this amount being also wages which the girl
was taking home; and stealing wages to the amount
of £1 7s 6d, from a boy named John Greenway, at
Round Oak, on the 19th of March.—Prisoner com- ,
menced his criminal career in 1864, and has- glace
undergone penal servitude for a term of seven yeatO
another term of eight years, and other shorter
periods of imprisonment, and is new under police
supervision.
