DARING CASH-Box ROBBERY, NEAR BRISTOL,—
On Tuesday considerable commotion was occasioned in the
neighbourhood of Hotwells by an exciting chase after • fel-
low who, it was undeestood, was monism; off with a cash-box
oontaimag, it was stated, 701. The pursuit resulted in the
capture of a middle-aged man, who has the appearance of a
" swell-mobs man." It seems that the fellow , with a male
companion, entered the General Draper Inn,Hotwelle, and
called for something to drink. They were left alone in one
of the rooms, and were lost sight of for some little time. It
is supposed that one of them kept watch while the other
went to an new room, and appropriated the cash-box,
with its valuable contents. At all ermine His. Baker, the
landlady, saw the pair leave together, the man now in
custody carrying her cash-box. She immediately cried
oat, Stop that fellow, he has got my cub-box .'" and
attended by one of the employes, she pee chase. The
fellow ran up the steps leading to the back of Prince's
buildings. In followmg lira Baker unfortunately fell,
and injured her arm badly. The number of pursuers M-
I creased at every turn. Very soon the fellow was come
up with, and, notwithstanding that he did all he could
rto divert attention from himself, he was recognised and
secured. He had drawn out a deer, and put on a non-
chalant air, but too close notice had been taken of him
to render his recognition doubtful. He struggled with his
captor at first, but could not free himself, and was banded
over to the custody of Acting.Serpant Thatcher, who was
in the neighbourhood, and who had joined in the permit.
In the man's possession the cash.box was found. There had
been no opportunity afforded for the opening of the box,
consequently it and its content., were intact. Very close to
the man, who gave his name u Jobn Young, and said he was
53 years old, a small bunch of skeleton keys was found by
Samuel Fry, of Henbane. It is supposed that Young
dropped the housebreaking articles, which, it is said, are se
complete as the most experienced cracksman could desire.
The man, it bad been noticed, had taken frequent passages
to and from Portiehead in the steamer, with two other men,
it is inferred, to quote the detective's tens, "on twiner."
The prisaser's companion has not yet been captured. The
police are using every exertion to apprehend him, and also
to ascertain the antecedents of the man now in custody.—
