HORSE-STEALING IN ROCUPORD HIINDEED.—A
system of horse-stealing which was being carried on to some
extent and with much adroitn. so in Rockford Hundred, Las
just been storpvd. and a man named Crix, who appears to
bare been the only or chief party coecernid in it, &ppm.
beaded and committed, through the shrewd measures and
the perseverance of L raw, the police superintendent of the
e.istrict. On Wednesday last the prisoner was examined
before the Rev. J. Pearson, at the magistrate's office at
Brentwood, on some of the charger, when it appear, d he
had beta in the habit of taking hones up to a repository
in London, and Ours di.posing of them; and it was
discovered that in order to disarm suspicion, and
prevent his being stopped on the road, he adop ed
a stratagem with which it may be useful to
nuke officers generally acquainted. la proceeding to
Loudon with the horse, he lly carried with hint
• letter addressed to Mr. Dixon, the owner of the
repository, and signed by some respectable per.on in the
county, stating that the horse was sent to him for sale, and
he was to return the money by the bear,r, which letter,
when shown to any olden on the road, who happened ye
stop him, would operate as • sort of passport, and enable
him to ',nosed. Tee facts of the ore relating to the rob-
beries, and the apprehension of the prisoner, are thew:—Oa
the night of the 4th instant a cart mare, valued at 3M., was
stolen from the stable of 111 r. A. Bouts% at Leigh ; informa-
tion was given to Mr Low, who at once commenced a put
suit, and in the course of the nest day travelled between
sixty and seventy mils without obtaining any tidings of it ;
but on returning to Rayleigh about 7 o'clsk, learned that
Cris had returned from Wnitshapel, on Saturday evening,
the 3rd instant, in a hay cart, b lunging to a person named
Bartlett, which was going to Wicktord ; that he got down at
Leind in about 3 o'clock on Banday morning. and took away
with him tk' eartes's coat, which had been lent him on the
way down ; and further, that in the tonne of the journey,
in a conversation with the carter, he stated that he had taken
up a hone to Dison's repository for Mr. Finch, at Rayleigh,
and was going to take up another on Monday for the came
person. Following up this information, Mr. Low traced
Cris to Pi sea, and within a mile and a half of Mr. Bentall's,
of Leigh. Suspicion was thus 1330 fit sled, and the nest morn
ing the officer left Rocbford at 3 o'clock, taking the back
roads leading to London ; at Bowers he traced a horse an-
sweriog the description of *seta's and a man riding it,
trivial/ on a coat droller to that stolen ISOM Bartlett on the
Saturday Might previous; he was also traced Mother parts of
thawed. Having reached Whitethatiel, Mr. Lsw gave Taylor,
be street keeper there, full partical ,n of the mare and of
the suspected party, with directions for Taylor to be in
attendance at Aldridge's repository, on the following more
leg, whilst he himself returned to complete his inquiries for
the purpose of ascertaining where Cris lived in London.
While matters were in this state, on We ;nesday, the 13th
mat., Low received information of isnot' er robbery—a cart
colt, rising tho • years, had been stolen front Faa-hall, Bath
Bendiest, the property of Mews anemia and Fulford. Csix,
it was emertained, bad worked on this farm, and a man was
seen with a berm, spout half-past ten es Tuesday night,
going towards Laindon, on the road leading the back way to
London. Mr. Low instantly communicated this fact to
Taylor, who went to Dixon's repository on the Thursday to
make inquiries, when he found that a horse answering to
the one lost from Fen-ball had been entered tbe day previous
in the math of Jaws Orson, of Gram and that just alter
it had been entered a Mr. flipper, • dealer, cams into the
