SINGULAR LOSS AND BSOOrARY OF TWO
TAN POUND N 0738.

The following strange occurrence hu occasioned
r..4coanziotion In the hamlet of Castle Bromwich, near
ham. On Saturday last, Mr. Albert Ward, turner,
of Ward End, paid to an Irishman, the leader of a party of
men who have been engaged in harvest operations, two 101,
Bank of Bngland Wee. This man, with two er three of the
petty,Wdgd with a widow woman, a Mrs. Green, an indus-
trious honest person, and on the Sunday morning he gave
the notes into her keeping to Metre their safety until the next
day, when the division wan to take place, se some of the men
were e•torting home to Ireland. Mrs. Green, rather care-
lessly it moat be admitted, plated them in a glees standing in
a cupboard, end the men felt home for the day, not returning
until late at night, when it appears some of them were let in
by a fellow-lodger, who was also • fellow-countryman. On
Mrs. Green getting up In the morning the notes were gone
from the ghee, and on her inquiring of the man who had
deposited them in her ogre if he had token them, she wee
thundarstricken to find that not only he bat each of the party
denied all knowledge of them. Of coarse there was a pass
of cementation. 1110 strangers had entered the house—no
ems who knew Mrs. Green could suspect her of playing tales
-.end It was hard to think the men who had tolled late and
stay together, mutually ordering • good deal of hardship to
soeumulate the money to take to their far-of homes, would
be so base as to purloin the whole "at one fell swoop."
Polioe-ollicor Stanton was called in, and the men willingly
underwent a search, but all in vats—no notes could be fotW.
' On the circurnstanos being made known to Mr. Ward, hand-
bills were printed on that gentlemen's euggrrtioe, describing
the numbers of the notes and t Hering 21. reward for their re-
covery. Thus matters remained until Wednesday, the
interval being filled op with lamentations, protesta-
tions, and recriminations ; suspicions being thrown
from one to another, and hints shrewdly expressed that
somebody must know ell about it. On Wednesday morning
litmtntendent Bloom, having been duly informed of the toys-
affair, outs over to see if he could throw any light
upon it, when on entering the house and proceeding to put
some questions, he was baduced to raise a glees containing
sweetmeats, that stood in the window, when what was not
only his but the aatonishrnent of every one t to see the
missing notes, as cue of the party ex it, " staring
the
notes • in the face I" Mr. Blown immediately conveyed the
notes to Mr. Ward, but by whose hands they were deposited
beneath the glass will ever remain • mystery, though no
doubt the prompt publication of the numbers of the notes,
with the indicatkm that their payment was stopped, had a
good deal to do with the reluctant sot of restitution. The
Doha, which were gotta clean when placed in the glass by
Mrs. Gress, bore palpable evidence of • change for the worse
when discovered by the saperinundent beneath the glass is
the window.

INSOLVENT I)EBTORS' COURT.—A commissioner
has not been appointed to fill the vacancy occaaioned by tha
death of Mr. Phillips. This win account for the engage-

BARBAROUS ASSAULT ON A COUNTY COURT

of the injuries inflicted. is unable to walk about, and had to
be conveyed to the Oculdbell Ina cab. Mr. Beet appeared on
his behalf, while the prisonere, who are all employed by
market gardeners, were defended by Mr. Cmerther. It
appeared from the evidence that one Martin Boyle moves
a house In Unfon,otreet, Bleckeell-street, belonging to Mr.
Beaten, of Dudley. Mr. Gaud, of this town, however, acts
for the landlord, and in ceseequence of non-payment of
rent, Bennie, •ho is in the habit of levying diatressee, wart
enuueted with a distress warrant ea Buyle's goods and
chattel'. At five o'clock on Saturday afternoon but Renal*
and another person, named Orundy, went to Boyle's with
intent to execute the warrant. As soon se be wee in the
holm he took an inventory of the goods, but lied not been

meat WAS partly serf° by the who, bailiff. Brunie, who
was most eenouely iejared, was at one time thought to be
vitally hurt; and although fortunately such is not the ase,
yet it tall take a considerable time before he will be for his
ordinary avocatiovs. Tee defence was, as regatele most of
