APPREHENSION OF CART
ROBBERS.
Robberies of carts leaving Manchester for the country,
aft« r dusk, have of late been numerous; information of
a dozen or more, to the amount altogether of upwat
of 501 in value, having reached the police since tb
16t h of January last. Most probably, they have just re'
ceived a cheek in the apprehension of four men, who'
there is little reason to doubt, have been for some tines
engaged in this mode of plunder. Some time aineC'
Superintendent 'fey for received information which I, d ein2
to believe that these robberies were committed by inee
named J in, s Hackett, John Dowd, and James Ryan, 4'7
that a mail named Thomas Cain, living in Little Irelatlet
was in the ha it of carrying their stolen goods for the°
with a t.or-e and cart. In consequence of this informs'
lion, a ee,teli has been kept on the entrance into Val; -
Ireland ; and on Friday night, Frederick Hollis, °ea,
the c. reteblee tit the 1) division, who was in Plata
clothe., saw Cain, between seven and eight o'clock, rilT
his beree end cart, proceed along Oxford-road, throng
Princess-street, Saint Ann's-square, by the Collegiate
Church, throne!, Strangeways, and along the 131
New-rea I. The utlicc r kept the cart in sight, at
diAievered that there were two men lying at the
to of it, who occasionally raised their heads, as if t'et
reconnoitre. Hay ng proceeded to about 300 yards pod
Ow Grove Inn, on the Bury New-road, the cart stoPPed;
and one cf. them (who proves to be Hackett) jumped t;
of the teat lett alter lookoig round, said, " Go on a
e
further." They went on till they got opposite to tee site
of the Z Gardens, when they stopped egaiei
At this spot the efficer passed them. It was dark, Pc
he could not observe their features very distinctly, t),fg
he saw four perzons about the cart, and saw them 1'
into it what appeared to be a square chest. bat where
they got. it he did not see. The cart was immediatell
turned round, arid driven back towards Manchester;
The officer sollovreil, and as the cart stopped for to°,:d
three raieutee at the Grove Inn, he saw what aPPe'i,e
to 1),. a tea elo.st in it. When it arrived opposite t",l
Collegiate Church, Hackett jumped out of the cart, a_h_A
itetnedietely afterwards. something having intercept;
the Meet's view for a moment, the latter intercept;
Ryan and Dowd, in company with Hackett, la
,i,reet, who followed the cart to Little Ire'ae-
and li!tin.g the chest out, took it into the I,°"-e
of Dowd's mother, at No. 25, Anvil-street. The of6cP
then went and reported what he had seen to Supefiee;
tendent Taylor, who immediately proceeded to the Place
with another officer, and finding the door fasteneut;
forced it open. They found Hackett and a Ira.
named Gill (a lodger, it appears) sitting by the 10-
anti in u back room a great quantity of ;0;
emptied upon a bed cover and table cloth, and a Lot
placed upon it. Hackett said he knew nothing arm
it. Gill immidiat, ly said he would not get himself 'eht
trouble for that; llackett, Ryan, and Dowd had broug _
the tea there. On searching further, a grocers

used for opening casks, &c., was found on the preraler:
Gil! said that Hackett had carried the chest out of
.ti:°
house. Gill, Haekett, and Dowd's mother were in.l
taken into custody. Cain was shortly afterwards ell;
her.ded; he said he had not been on the Barrie-I,Bd ia
night. Dued was apprehended about one ,
Rigby-street, Sal!otd, and Ryan

were taken
before Mr. Trafford, at the New Bailey, Saturdahr,d,
remanded till ,ntlay. In the meantime inforrnaPe''
had been received that two chests of tea, of the
value of 61, had been stolen from a cart belonging to bit'
John Howurth, carrier between Manchester and 801 l
hour after, at
on the night when the above occurred. It appears
that the tea was sent from the house of Messrs. Labreft
New Br .wn street, and delivered to Mr. Howarth;
at the ‘Vheat Sheaf, Fennel-street. A carter rimmed
Walker Gregory was dispatched about half-past si%
with the tea to Bury. He called at the machine in
Strangeways, and the tea was then safe in the col;
13y the time he had got to Prestwich, Mr. H"warti
overtook him, and, looking into the cart, immediately
missed the chests of tea. It appears that the "lead
is very diminutive in stature, and was comp doubt
his horse all the way, circumstances which ne
es, whom
greatly favoured the operations of the parties was
the tea was abstracted. The weight of the teantity
found to correspond exactly with that of the qui:ligo.
aled to
stolen from the cart, and the empty chests were "rday
vered by the police in the river Mecilock, on Saltulieee
morning, about one hundred yards from the house w
the
the tea was found. On Monday morning, when Gill
case came on again before Mr. Trafford, the loan ft''
er
was admitted as evidence against the others; and st
the above facts had been stated, the four male prison e
sti
were committed for trial at the sessions, and the wo°l
was discharged.—Manchester Guardian.

praise to the management of the institution, which 'l9'6;
he said, nut less excellent than its principles. Not les
than 4,('00 seamen were relieved last year.
Amongst the supporters of the hospital appears t-r
name of the Imperial High Commissioner of the ErnPfri
of China, lie) ing, who subscribes 900 dollars. At vario-ci
times the Trinity House have given about 14,000/, Is
the East India Company 2,715/. to the hospital. It r
gratifying to find the masters of the American and oth

liberality, extending its assistance to the sick seavaett_r
every nation, ricnongq whom are a considerable nom'
