MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY OP LORD CARDIGAN'S
RantegreraLe.—During the last two days such conversa-
tion has beet easmioned in military circles by/ its becoming
known t at the regimentals of Lord Cardigan, as Colonel of
the Royal Human, had disappeared from his lordship's
dressing room at Boa:plow Barracks. It appears that the
Frowsty in speedos was last seen safe on Thursday, the
14th gnat, mad wee not admit until abort 9 o'clock on the
morning of Monday LW, the 18th inst., when his lordship
required them. The artkles 'oasis, of ens uniform coat, •
superfine blue cloth jacket with gold facings, also
at th! backs and sleeves up to the elbows. Also
• sling jacket with gold lace facings, • gold lace
link coed to attack it, bordered with sable fur
down the front and round the collar and batom ; both
Jackets lined with rich red silk. Their supposed value is
1201., but it is stated they cost Lord Cardigan 1601. Infor-
mation was given to the police, when from inquiries it was
secertained that one of the constables of the I division had
seen a few mornings before two privates leave the barracks
by climbing the wall, and subsequently return the same
way before the morning roll was called over ; but unit oc-
cur( nue wire so frequent that the constable did not take
much pollee of the men. The matter therefore still conti-
nues In doubt.
