EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A BOY.—BIRMINGHAM,
FRIDAY EVENING.—Last evening, mr. Stephens, super-
intendent of police in this town, was waited upon by a mer-
chant of high standing in Liverpool, who informed him that
in the course of the day a youth named Drury, about fifteen
years offfe, who, for a few months past, had occupied a con-
fidential' situation in his office, had absconded, taking with
him property to a serious amount, consisting of bank-notes,
issued by Moss and Co., of Liverpool, to the amount of 1,250.
Strange to state, at the time the merchant waited upon Mr.
Stephens, no information had been received by the superin-
tendent from the authorities at Liverpool, and his first step
was to issue notices to all the metropolitan police-offices,
and at the same time to apprise the authorities of the towns
upon the Channel coast, so as to cut off all communication
with the Continent. It is stated that there is no doubt
whatever the youth proceeded from Liverpool to Birmingham
in the same train which brought his master, and he was then
traced on his way to London.
SEAMEN'S CHURCH.—Mr. Labouchere, the trea-
surer, yesterday received from an " Anonymous Friend " a
cheque for 350/. towards the funds of this church. The
generous donor merely expressed a hope that the church
might be opened by Midsummer, and as only 500/. now re-
mains to be subscrib thathe com mittee trust they shall be
, enabled to accompliah t object.
