EXTRAORDINARY CAREER
OF A LETTER-BOX
THI.

A man named Robert Davie was apprehended a
Brossbill, near Glasgow, on the 30th ult., on a charge
of having been concerned in a number of thefts from
letter-boxes in various offices in the city. The in-
formations extended as far back asMarch,lB69, and
showed that be had obtained large sums of money
by forcing letter-boxes ;in one case abstracting
foreign bills to the amount of £2,400; besides
which he made use of information obtained from
papers to communicate with the customers of various
business people, whose names he forged, and to up-
lift accounts which were made payable in the form
of post-office order remittances. As an example
of his misdirected talent in the latter way,
we may mention the case of Mr. Jen-
kins, commmission agent, St. Enoch-square,
whose box had been forced, and several ac-
counts, papers, &c., stolen. Some of the ac-
counts had been sent to Mr. Jenkins to collect,
but the thief saved him all trouble in this way by
collecting the accounts himself, and obtaining from
three different parties £l4, discharging the accounts
by forging the name of Mr. Jenkins. In addition
to this, having obtained the name of several of Mr.
Jenkins's customers by means of the correspon-
dence found in the box, be immediately set to
work to " raise the wind" in this direction,
and wrote to a customer in England, stat-
ing that he was at present on a trip in the
western district of the country, politely requesting
payment of his account, and adding that the money
Gould be sent by post-office order, in his favour, ad-
dressed to the " King's Arms " Hotel, Ayr. The
gentleman, believing the letter to be genuine, sent a
post-office order for £4, which was duly received,
presented at the post-office, and cashed. Until the
morning of the 30th ult. Davie evaded capture ; but
meanwhile his residence had been discovered by De-
teetive Fairservice, of the Renfrewshire constabulary.
Fairservice had traced the accused to his sister's
house, at 3, Hilton-terrace,Brosshill, and along with
Constables Anderson sand Brown, of the Renfrew-
shire constabulary, he awaited Davie's arrival on
Saturday night. Davie, however, did not make
his appearance until half-past one on the follow-
ing morning, when, instead of finding a comfortable
lodging in his sister's house, he was apprehended by
the police. The whole of the property bas not been
recovered by the Glasgow detectives, and the sums
advanced by pawnbrokers on the stolen property
other
will amount to fully £l3O. The letters the prisoner
wrote were got up in a business-like fashion. Davie

for a life-time to inform the afflicted that sores, skin dis-
eases, contractions of the sinews, through rheumatism or
violence, deformed and gainful joints, bad legs, &c., which
bad previously resisted every kind of treatment, have over
and over again been cured by Holloway's remarkable re-
medies. The most signal proofs of the efficiency of his
ointment
wish ndly sent to the_Professor
from the expressed hope that
ot pillsehave
