the nemises had been broken into, by means of
a back window, and that desks bad been broken open,
and moneys in gold, notes, silver, and copper, to the
amount of upwards of 60/. stolen. Singularly enough, a
constable who had been investigating the robbery was talk-
ing to his inspector, inJewin-street, about ten o'clock, when
the two prisoners and a third man came along, and observ-
ing that they had new caps and new boots, which did not
look in accord with the net of their attire, the constable
(Smith) followed them to the earner of Edmund's-place,
Aldersgetestreet, and there sew Ogg go into Hannon's, a
pawnbroker's, and put down a duplicate to redeem • coat.
He asked Gies where he got the money to buy the booteand
cap, and he said, " Saved it." On asking who were the
parties waiting for him outside, he replied lie did not know,
ashe was alone. The constable then went out and beckoned
Johnson, and on putting the same questions to him he made
similar replies. He told them he should take them into
custody on suspicion, on which a struggle ensued, and the
third man gut away. The two prisoners were secured. On
being searched at the station, TE 13e. 100. in silver and
copper was found loose in Gies trowsers pocket, and in
