SINGULAR CASE.—On Saturday, Mr. Armstrong,
who had been for many years a watchmaker, at Liverpool,
made application to the Magistrates of Lambeth-street for the
restoration of a watch, valued at 161. It may, perhaps, be re-
collected, that about nine years since, Mr. Armstrong's pre-
mises were entered, and property, valued at 6001., stolen, none
of which, however, was recovered, except the watch in ques-
tion, which was found, among similar property, at the house
of lkey Solomons. Mr. Armstrong attended the examination
of Solomons, and identified the watch. Solomons, however,
escaped to Amcriea, and before was brought hack to this
country Mr. Armstrong went out to the East Indies, and, of
course, could not attend on the trial, and the watch remained
in the possession of Lea, the officer. Mr. Armstrong having
now returned, ciainitti the watch. In answer to questions
from the Magistrate, Mr. Armstrong stated, that in conse-
quence of the burglary at his house, he was reduced to such a
state of destitution as to be compelled to enlist as a private
soldier in the 16th Light Dragoons, serving in India ; since
then he had been promoted to the rank of sergeant-major, but
his brother, wishing him to return borne, had purchased his
discharge. The Magistrate ordered the watch to be delivered
to Mr. Armstrong, on his giving a proper receipt for it.
