DEXTEROUS ROBBERY IN A BANK.—On Wednes-
day last a clerk of Messrs. Munn and Co., the well-
known commission agents in Manchester, went to
Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co.'s bank, and presented a
cheque for payment. He received in payment ten 51.
zotes and the remainder in gold. As the notes were
first tendered him, he put them into an outside pocket of
a Chesterfield coat, and whilst he was bolding a purse
into which the clerk at the bank was to put in the gold,
some dexterous knave or other having seen Messrs, Munn's
clerk so carelessly deposit them, contrived, whilst the
gold was being put into the bag, to extract the whole of
the .5/. notes, with which he got clear off.
FEEE WOODS.—The Board of Customs having had
before them applications, requesting that the following
woods may be admitted free of duty, viz., black cedar
(imported from Porto Rico), and Pas de Peroba, or
yellow wood, and Sebastino de Arrada, or wood of Se-
bastino (imported from Bahia, South America), orders
have been issued to the officers of the revenue here, and
throughout the United Kingdom, to admit all future
similar importations of the descriptions of wood men-
tioned free of duty accordingly-. As the order* ex-
tending the privileges of the Treasury order alluded to,
from time to time, to various newly-discovered or in-
o ed woods, for furniture manufacturing purposes,
precludes the necessity of special application being
made on each separate importation to the Commis-
Aionera for their divery free, they are of considerable
importance, and should be generally known to the wood
trade.
