excited, required their assistance in the apprehension of
his valet, by whom he had been robbed, of a considerab!.
sum. It appeared, from his statemetat, that he was in
the habit of carrying his money secreted in a travelling
belt. He lost a small sum, and complained of it to his
valet, who expressed his aston'.shment that he was so
careless in leaving his money. The gentleman. to prove
that he was not careless, s'..owed his servant how care-
fully he secreted his money in the belt, '1 he following
morning he rose late, and found both the valet and belt
missing; he soon had reason to sup et that his valet was
on his road to Teignaiouth. He fbllowed, and had no
sooner made his case known to the police, than he de-
tected his servant, in the garb of a sailor, mounting a
