ROBBERY AT THE LONDON AND JOINT-STOCK
BANK.—On Saturday afternoon, between the hours of
two and three o'clock, a most barefaced robbery, to the
amount of nearly 3501., was committed at the London
and Joint-Stock Bank, upon a gentleman named Goslin,
firm of Clarke and Goslin, of the North-end Maltings,
Fulham, malsters. It appears that Mr. Edward Goslin,
about the time mentioned, attended at the counter of the
above bank, for the purpose of paying in money on
acconnt of the firm. While standing there he felt a
slight tug at his coat, and turning round he observed a
gentlemanly-looking man, attired in a shooting-jacket,
going rapidly out of the bank, but he unfortunately took
no notice of the circumstance, and gave no alarm, though
when he came to. pay in the money he found that his
pocket-book had been adroitly abstracted, with its con-
tents, which con: ...listed of notes and gold, &c., amounting
to 3241. 2s. 11d., besides overdue bills, and sundry letters
and memoranda.. The pocket-book was of Russian
leather, with a steel clasp, and the notes were one Bank
of England 300,i., No. 37,541, dated May 11, 1846 ; a
20/, No. 70,564,, dated May 5, 1846 ; four sovereigns,
and 2s. lid. A. reward of 301. has been offered for the
apprehension of t'ire thief, and recovery of the property,
or nroportionatel:r to any portion recovered.
