of the association was held here this afternoon ; it was
semi.official only, not having been specially convened.

EXTENSIVE JEWELLERY ROBBERY FROM • RAIL-
WAY.—On the 13th of July last • commercial traveller's
leathern case, containing 4201. worth of jewellery, was
stolen from the Great Western Railway somewhere be-
tween Shrewsbury and Birkenhead. No clue could be
ascertained of the stolen property until Wednesday, when
• woman named Matthews (whose father, Edward Lewis,
has been in the service of the Great Western Railway
Company for some time) offered to pledge a valuable topes
breast pin at the shop of Mr. Thorne, pawnbroker, St.
James-street, Liverpool. Iffr. Thorne. entertaining some
suspicion about the matter, asked Matthews where she got
the pin, and she replied that it was given to her by her
brother, who was then in Calcutta. In the meantime an
officer was sent for, and the prisoner and her soother, who
bad been standing by at the time, were given into cus-
tody. In the evening • detective proceeded to the me-
&nice of Edward Lewis, in Brook-street, Birkenhead, and
searched the house. In one bedroom several articles of
jewellery were discovered, including two masonic jewels,
one • silver level or senior warden's, the other a royel
arch jeweL There were also • number of empty
jewel cases. In another room a quantity of
new boots and stockings were found, and in the parlour
there were some ladies' new boots. A roll of cloth, and a
new snit of clothes made from the same material, were
found in • closet, together with a workbox filled with
pawn-tickets. When the two female prisoners were
searched • quantity of jewellery was found concealed about
their persona. On the elder females amongst other articles
were ten topes studs, and on the younger there were several
valuable sleeve links. Amongst the jewellery which the
stolen case contained was • splendid masonic regalia, worth
about 60/., which at present the detectives have been
unable to trace. For some time past the Great Weston
Company have been extensive sufferers in consequence of
the systematic robberies which have taken place on their

upwards of 400/. as compensation to the owners of the
purloined jewellery. The three prisoners have bees
brought before the magistrates at Birkenhead, and or
mended until Wednesday next.
