THE GREAT JEWEL ROBBERY.

At the Marylebone Police-court, on Thursday, Martha
Tarpey was brought up on remand charged with being
concerned in the robbery of jewels valued at £2,500, the
property of Messrs. London and Ryder, of New Bond-
street. Mr. Lewis prosecuted, and Mr. A. C. Stainforth
defended. The prisoner gave little outward evidence of
having suffered from her incarceration.
Arthur William Nichols, in the employment of Mr.
Thomas Flight, of Broad-court, Walbrook, said that in
January the man whose likeness was now produced came
in the name of Tyrrell about a house in Berkeley-street.
He gave as a reference Mons. de Maddilar, of the Royal
Hotel, Bath. On the 10th January witness wrote to that
gentleman and received a letter signed Emilie de
Maddilar, stating that M. de Maddilar, not being
well acquainted with the English language, had
requested her to write and state that she had known Mr.
I Tyrrell in Paris. The letter vouched for his respectabi-
lity. In consequence of this letter witness let him the
house, on the condition that the housekeeper then taking
care of it should remain as a guarantee of safety. He was
a man of dark complexion, and had beard and whiskers.
'Pusan Cook, „the housekeeper at 4, Upper Berkeley-
street, proved that she was taking care of the
place on Tuesday, the 10th January. She was there as
cook to Mr. Tyrrell. On Thursday, the 12th, a man and
woman came to the house about two o'clock. bhe was
sent by the female prisoner. to Tulsehill with a letter
addressed to a Miss Pearson. She could not find High
field House not Miss Pearson, according to the letter
addressed. When she came back the police were in the
house, and the man and woman gone.
Mr. Coe, assistant to Mr. Emmanuel, jeweller, of New
Bond-street, stated that a man giving his name as Tyrrell,
ealled on him, on the 12th January, and desired him to
send a quantity of jewellery for the purpose of selection.
He went there in company with another employd of the
establishment. Mr. Tyrrell opened the door, and they
went in. Tyrrell selected a diamond necklace valued at
£1,200, and.other property, worth altogether £1,325. Tyr-
rell wished them to call the following day at the same hour
with some opals to match some jewels which Mrs. Tyr-
rell had. He heardof the robbery the following day, and
I consequently did not go.
Miss Charlotte Pitt, of Leamington, with whom the
defendants lodged, gave evidence as to seeing an an-
nouncement of the robbery in the Standard, and of the
communication of her suspicions to the police authorities.
The prisoner was committed for trial !for the robbery,
and for the administration of a noxious drug for the pur-
pose of doing grievous bodily harm, Mr. Lewis stat-
ing that the latter offence involved a penalty of imprison-
ment for life.

WRECK OF A NEW SCREW STEAMER.—lntelli-
gence of the wreck of the fine iron screw steamer Crescent
City, one of a new line trading between Liverpool and
New Orleans, was received at the first-named port. on
Wednesday. It appears that when on her outward voyage
she, on Tuesday night, during a very heavy fog, ran
ashore off Gallyhead, off the south coast of Ireland. Her
passengers, crew, and several boxes of specie were fortu-
nately saved. The Crescent City was laden with upwards
of 4,000 bales of cotton, and it is feared that she will be-
come a complete wreck, and that very little of the cargo
will be recovered.
