GREAT JEWELLERY ROBBERY IN
MANCHESTER.
--•--
213,000 WORTH OF PROPERTY STOLEN.
The greatest robbery ever known to have oc•
eurred in Manchester was discovered yesterday morning to
have been committed during the previous night. The shop
of Mr. W. M`Ferran, one of the leading jewellers and watch.
maker in the city, In Victoria-street, opposite the fruit
market, wee entered by thieves, and stock was stolen of the
set value of 13,0001.
The thieve" appear to have first entered the building 19,
Market-place, which is occupied as offices, and to which
access is obtained through an iron gate at the end of a
shod panne in the market-place. 'Phis g►te is locked
at night, and the offices upends" are further secured by
a sort of trap-door over the stairs, which is also locked.
Judging from the circumstance that the trap-door and
gate were found locked this morning at about 6 o'clock,
then is reason to believe that the thieves got into the
peening before they were locked on Monday night. After
leaving the staircase, they appear to have first entered the
*See of Masers. P. M. Crane and Co., oil manufacturer',
between whose premises and Mr. ll•Ferran's shop were the
workshops of Mr. Nathan, jeweller. Between Mesen,
Crane and Co.'s office and Mr. Nathan's shop
an two walla, each nine Mass thick, but which
are so close that they form • solid structure.
The thieves first pierced this wall at • point • few
inches to the rear of Mr. Nathan's premises, and
the bole they thus mad* admitted light. About • yard
nearer to the front they again pierced the wall successfully,
and paned through into an old stair:en leading to an upper
emikehip in Mr. Nathan's premises. They descended this
stainese i•to Mr. Nathan's workshop on the second door,
and there broke through a wall about a brick thick, in an old
doorway which had been built up, and which ►t one time
gave access to the premises now occupied by Mr. M'Ferrao.
As, however, Mr. Wrens* had lined this wall with sheet
iron, and finding it impossible to get through, the thieves
went into the workshop in Mr. Nathan's third storey.
They again attempted to pen through the same wall, and
se Mr. lit'Ferran bad need no sheet iron upon that storey,
they succeeded in piercing the wall and passing into Mr.
hilarrars's upper showroom, on the third storey. The
stock in this room consisted of clocks and heavy articles,
none of which was disturbed. The thieve+ descended by
a staircase to the second storey, the only obstruction
to their coulee being • heavy sliding door hoed with
iron, ►nd of very strong make. Mr. M'Frarran was on
the premises on Monday night, a little before nine
o'clock, but it appears that either he or his work.
men only closed this door, and neglected to look it. The
staircase was of iron ; the walls, floor, and ceiling of the
showroom on the second storey were limed with iron, and
the only point at which it was likely any thieves could
get into the premises, entering as they did in this instance,
was through the very door that happened on that night
to be unfastened. The property in the showroom on the
second storey, like that in the storey above, was left un-
touched, and the thieves descended to the shop. There
they found no safe ; the goods were invitingly before them,
on the neater and in the window ; the thieves lighted on., or
two of the gas-lights, and at once commenced to back the
place. They took property the net cost of which was
13,0001. It included between 600 and 700 gold and silver
watches, more than 1,000 hoops and rings, upwards of
100 pins, about 80 bracelets, and • vast number of lockets,
chains, guards, and other articles of jewellery. They
I took little or none of the plate. dome of the watches
were very valuable. After turning out the gas they
appear to have returned through Mr. Nathan's premises
to the room occupied by Messrs. Crane, and to hays
waited there till the staircase shutters and iron gate
leading to the market plan were opened, which was done
se about 6 o'clock yesterday morning. While in Messrs.
Crane's offices they u.ed a wash-bowl, and left behind a
I small comb. A small door in the office commanded a view
of the staircase, and in one of the lower panels they bored
a hole, by which means they were enabled to watch when
the gate was opened, end the way of egress was made clear.
They left DO tools behind them. The police were early on
the alert ; matins have been issued containing a full desegp-
Con of the property, and a reward of 5001. has been offered.

Tan CONVICT PITTOTIARD.—On Monday, the
sonvict was vieited by the Rev. Dr. Macleod, the Roy. Dr.
Miller, the Rev. Mr. Reid, Epiecopaliso clergyman, and
the prison chaplain. From the information we have re-

remains unchanged, and that his even sowers, if possible,

after the prisoner had remarked to one of his spiritual
advisees that his confession was true, he was told that not
a word of it was believed out of doom, and that be, the
minister himself, was of the same opinion. The prisoner,
it alleged, thee ley beak, and looking calmly towards the
ceiling of his cell, implored himself to the effect that he
had often wondered why Cbrist, while on earth, had ex-
perienced such difficulty is dealing with unbelievers ; bet
that, after the minister's remark, he was not oow empties&
Oa soothe! °mashie it is said that the convict beets railing
at hie trial, and tiding fault with the judge and his loading
counsel, who, he said, he believed was in league with the
crown authorities. Os being reminded that • person in his
position should not give vent to such expressioas. we are
told that he made a remark to the effect that he could
ascend the scaffold with a smile upon his fete.—Oh/pow
