DARING AND DEXTEROUS ROBBERY OF NEARLY
1,000/. WORTH OF WATCHES FROM MESSRS. SAVORY
AND Co's.—This morning about eight o'clock, the fol-
lowing daring and extensive robbery was committed at
Messrs. Cox, Savory, and Co.'s, the extensive silver-
smiths and watchmakers, of Cornhill. The robbery was
effected at the branch warehouse, 54, Cornhill. It ap-
pears that the shopman, according to custom, opened the
shop shortly before eight o'clock, and then locking up
the door, went to breakfast. It was during his absence
that some expert thief or thieves, who had evidently
been watching his movements, contrived either to pick
the lock, or enter the shop by means of a false key,
and swept off trays containing no less than 149 gold and
silver watches, of the value of nearly 1,000/. About
the time in question a cab was observed to drive away
rapidly from the opposite side of the street ; it is sup•
posed
.that it conveyed away the plunder. Messrs.
Savory and Co. are about to offer a large reward for the
de!ection of the thieves and the recovery of the
property.
