EXTRA-SIVEE AST ROBBERIES O
ILWAY.N THE GREAT
ERA RA

Yesterday, at the Stratford police-court, Henry
Buckle, the proprietor of a clothier's shop in the neigh-
bourhood of Stratford, was brought up for examination,
charged with being conoerned in the robbery of a large •
ancormt of goo.'• wpich hal been abet:acted from trains on
tie at .I:.•s•cru 'y.
Mr. Met- tife snip: r.si to prosecute on behalf of therail-
y company ; and 31r. T. Beard defended the prisoner.
It was at iter that the company had suffered much from
the 1, of go., • which url been entrusted to them for
• conveyance to umerear places, and in consequence of
oettaiti licts which bad come to the knowledge of Mr.
Rased, the company's superintendent of police,
suspicion fal upon the prisoner, who kept a kind
c'othier's shop, and dealt in women's apparel
and i coots and shoes. A respectable woman called upon
the prisoner at his eLop, and desired to purchase some
material for dreams. She was shown some patterns of
cautlet toil linsey, and having made a selection she called
the following day, and purchased duff for four or five
dresses, the prisoner bringing the rolls of material into the
front shop, and measuring the required quantity off. On
these lengths being examined they were found to cone-
vend with several rolls of esanlet and linsey which bad
been stolen, and Mr. Russell, the company's euperintend-
-1 ent, Mr. Stanilage, the inspector of the K division, and
other officers, visited the pnsoner's house, and there seized
s. very large amount of property, which it is believed had
been stolen while in the company's charge. The goods
comprised several rolls of linsey, camlet, and cloth, a large
number of boots and shoes, silk velvet, rolls of ribbon,
gloves, a quantity of buttons, alpaca, macintosh, and
other articles, the whole being valued at a considerable
amount. Mr. Russell inquired of the prisoner where he
j had purchased several of the articles, and he replied, "Of
a man." The superintendent asked the name of the man,
and prisoner said he did not know.
Witnesses were then called to prove that rolls of linsey
and armlet found in the prisoner's place had been sent
by Messrs. Kerrsnd Co., of Cannon-street, City, addressed
to Dlr. Stevens, of Wisbeach, that the goods had been
duly received at the company's office, and sent on, but
they never reached their destination. In another case a
number of the hoots and ahoes found in the prisoner's
shop were proved to have formed a portion of a parcel
which hail been forwarded by Mr. Winter, of Norwich, by
rail, directed to Mr. Starling, of Sawbridgeworth, and
which had never been delivered.
Mr. Russell, in answer to the bench, said that other ar-
ticles had been identified, but the parties were not then
present.
Mr. Metcalfe said he halm, other evidence to offer in
repeat to tiro two cases which had been gone into. They
wished for a further remand.
The prisoner was committed for trial on the two cases
already stated, but he would be remanded in order to give
the police opportunity of proving other charges.
Hu was accordingly remanded to Ilford Gaol, bail being
refused.
