JEWELLERY ROBBERIES.

At the Public-office, Birmingham, yesterday,
before Mr. Kennonley, stipendiary, several charges were
heard, in which four foreigners, believed to be Polish Jews,
were implicated, they having been engaged in robberies of
jewellery in Birmingham and in London.
In the fleet case, two men, named Tobias Kynnler and
Herman Levey, were charged with having committed a
robbery on the premises of Messrs. Payton, manufacturing
jewellers, in Northampton-street, on Friday last.
The facts, as detailed by Mr. Idotteriun, of the Oxford
circuit, who appeared for the prosecution, were as follows :
—ln the course of Thursday last the prisoners called at
Messrs. Payton 's place of business, and having represented
themselves as foreign merchants, intimated their
wish to purchase goods. They were informed that
it was not convenient to show the goods at that
time, and au arrangement was made that the men should
call on the following morning, which they did. They were
waited upon by Mr. Henry Payton and a olerk in attendance.
Mr. Payton had a suspicion that the men were prigs ; he
was out only especially watchful and cautions of every
movement of his customers, but by a memorandum in
writing upon • card he enjoined watchfulness on the part of
his clerk. No movement was seen by either. A selection
of articled was made by each of the prisoners ; thew were
put aside on a couple of trays, the men stating that
they would call again at 2 o'clock, when the things
were packed, pay for them, and take them
away. At the first interview the men said that
they would pay for whatever was purchased. Mr.
Payton suggested that the goods might be packed in •
quarter of an hour and when at once, if the prisoners were
prepared to pay for them. However, they left the place in
a cab, with a promise to return at the hour named ; a minute
afterwards Mr. Payton noticed that one of the brooches
selected by the prisoners was miming from the tray • his
suspicions became strungey ; and he despatched his father
in search of them. The prisoners were overtaaeu and brought
back, much against their will—almost by fore*. On entering
the warehouse one of them asked to be shown the trays
ou which were the goods they had selected, and sud-
denly, with a dexterity which eluded all vigilsaoe,
the brooch Mr. Payton had mimed re-appeared upon the
tray. Upon that • policeman was called in ; be prooesded
to smirch Kyonler, but nothing was found on him ; the;other
prisoner iu the meantime in some mysterious manner had
deposited on the counter sight brooches and so less then
thirteen pairs of earrings, which he reproduced almost aa
