DARING ROBBERY OF £250 WORTH OF JEWEL-
LERY AT SCARE OROU GH .—On Wednesday afternoon a lady
visiting on the Esplanade at Scarborough discovered that her
jewel case had been feloniously emptied of its contents,
which comprised gems of various descriptions, worth nearly
£3OO. There were in the case five diamond rings, five gold
and enamel bracelets, and one of which had seven fiae dia-

committed about one o'clock on Tuesday, by two men who
called at the house about that time, and who are also known
the avra-lr
to have called at many other houses on the Esplanade and
on St. Nicholas Cliff (the two most fashionable parts of tho
town), under pretence of taking lodgings. As Captain
--'s lodgings were likely soon to be at liberty, the ap-
plicants who appeared to be respectable gentlemen were
allowed to look at the rooms—a not unusual course of pro
ceeding. It is fully believed that while so engaged (although
an attendant would be present), one of the men succeeded
in stealing the contents of the jewel case; after which ho
shut down the lid, locked it, and took away the key. The
possessor of the valuables, not wanting any of them until
Wednesday afternoon, had no idea of the robbery. One of
the men is described as being of dark complexion, dressed
in grey clothes; and the other is said to be of fair com-
plexion, and dressed in black. A reward of £5O is offered
for the apprehension and conviction of the thief.
