spoasible position in the Breech Bank of England at Ports-
mouth, named Christopher Edwin Thoraces, about 47
years of age shomedoi from his situation with a large sem
of money a his powearee. He appears to have lived ex-
travagaatly, and it resorted to embezzlement in order to
supply the necessities created by the vices in which he in-
da4ed. For some time, though a reward of 100 f. was
offered by the Bank for his apprehension, nothing was heard
of his whereabouts ; but at last Webb and Hausa, two
detective officers, discovered the offender at No. 24, Palace-
place, Lambeth. Accompanied by /dr. Inspector Hamilton,
they proceeded there on Monday night, but Theakstooe
being denied to them, they broke several doors in order to
get at him. Whilst the officers were thus engaged, Meek-
stone took a razor and cut his throat in a most frightful
manner. The officen immediately procured surgical assiat-
moo the wound was attended to as well as circumstances
would permit, and the unfortunate man conveyed to West-
minster Hospital, where he now remains in • very precarious
condition. His recovery is doubtful; but as soon as be is
able he will be sent to Portsmouth for examinstion._ _
