ROBBING EMPLOYERS.—John Landsdowne, a respectable
looking man, in the garb of a gas engineer, was charged
with being concerned with a man named Williams, in
custody, with stealing a valuable water gauge, the pro-
perty of Messrs. Belk and Lucas, contractors, from the
Exhibition-grounds, Brompton.
John Morgan, seargeant, 3 B, said—From information
received, I went to No. 11, Elizabeth-street, Chelsea, last
night, at half-past six, and asked for the prisoner. He was
denied, but as I left the place I saw him look out at a
window, when I went and apprehended him for being
concerned with another man, in custody, for stealing this
gauge and other valuable property, consisting of stop-
cocks, hose, pipe, &c. He said nothing to the charge.
James Donovan, watchman to Mr. Douglas, builder,
Queensbury-place, South Kensington, said—On last Fri-
day night a man, whom he believed to be the prisoner,
came to him with the gauge and told him that the fore-
man had ordered him to put it in ono of the buildings of
which he had care. The man left at past 11; on the same
night the dog barked, and witness said that four men were
standing on the steps of one of the houses. The police
were fetched, and three of the men escaped; one of them
named Williams was captured, having two hose-pipes on
him, corresponding with part of the property stolen from
the Exhibition.

Mr. Edward Hintley, foreman to Messrs. Belk and Lucas,
proved that the gauge and other property was safe locked
in a box in the Exhibition grounds on the 10th of March.
He identified the property. The prisoner was in their
service.

The watchman said he heard one of the four men men.

tion the name Butcher, and Moyard proved that the pri-
soner went by that name; also, that, in the area where the
watchman saw the four men, 7 stopcocks and '2 hose-pipes
were found concealed ready to be carried off. Access to
the place where they had been kept had been obtained by
a duplicate key, and then a box had been broken open.
