SINGULAR JEWELLERY ROBBERY.

Considerable uneasiness has during the past week or
so been caused among the officials at the Carlisle
Railway Station, by the mysterious disappearance of
two boxes of -jewellery in course of transit from Bir-
mingham to Mr. Fritschler, jeweller, Carlisle, per the
London and North-Western Railway. One of the
boxes contained two valuable gold watches, and the
other fourteen gold rings. They came on different
days, and all that could be ascertained concerning
them was that they had arrived all right at Carlisle ;
that the way bills reached the parcel office in due
course ; and that the boxes must have been stolen in
course of removal from the railway van to the parcels
office. Three of the missing rings were found where
the thief had indiscriminately thrown them, and a
reward was offered by the police for information
concerning the remainder. The officials were quite
at a loss whom to suspect, and no clue as to the thief
was obtained until a lad, about thirteen years of age, a
message boy in the Station Telegraph Office, named
Norval, confessed, on being interrogated, that he was the
pilferer of both boxes. It appears that he had stolen the
boxes containing the watches first, and that after abstract-
ing one watch had burned the box. He, however, per-
sists 'in saying that there was only one watch in the
box, so the presumption is that he must have burned
the other watch along with the box. He had broken the
glass of the watch he appropriated ; had then taken it to
a watchmaker and paid a shilling for having it regulated
and a new glass put into it. Afterwards he it on the
railway bridge at the end of the station. As to the rings,
the young thief had appropriated one which fitted his finger,
and then thrown the other thirteen away. Eleven of them
are still unrecovered, as well as one gold watch. Other
felonious acts have been traced to the boy, who has been
at times sent ft om the station to the Central Post Office,
with telegrams and the money to pay for them. Instead
of taking the messages, he has destroyed them and ap-
propriated the money. He is now in the custody of the
police.—North British Mail.
