RECOVERY OF STOLEN DIAMONDS.

On the 24th of March Mr. Hart, a diamond merchant
carrying on business in Paris, but an English subject, was
robbed of diamonds and Paris obligations to the amount of
more than £5,000. A woman who had been in his employ
disappeared about the same time, leaving with a man. The
French police being communicated with traced the parties
from Paris to London, but all further trace failed. Mr Jot)
Emanuel, solicitor, Austinfriars, communicated, on behalf
of Mr. Hart, with the authorities at Sectland-yard, and
the man suspected, it was found, had left Southampton
for America. On the suspected man arriving at New
York ha was asked what property he had to declare sub-
ject to duty, and not being, it would seem, aware that dia-
monds were liable to duty in America, ho replied that he
had none. In consequence of his suspicious manner he
was searched at the Custom-house by Inspector Lee,
and the whole of the diamonds and Paris obli-
gations were found on him. Not being in a
don to pay the duty the diamonds were detained. The
person in whose possession the diamonds were found applied
to his friends in London fur money to enable him to pay the
duty. The latter ultimately found its way into the hand of
the police at Scotland-yard, and, the whole of the facts b -
coming known, instructions were forwarded to the authori-
ties at New York to detain the property. Mr. Joel Emanuel
having communicated with Lord Clarendon at the Foreign-
office, and with the Home Secretary, lie lordship at once
telegraphed to the English Consul to claim the diamonds
as the prope ty of an English subje t, and direetiuns
were forthwith sent to her Majesty's Minister at Wash-
ington to the like effect. Mr. Hart is about to proceed to
America to claim the property, and the result will be the
fortunate recovery of the whole of the diamonds stolen
from him.
