EXTRAORDINARY R.)BBERY AND
FRA UD.

A most audacious and ingenious robbery has just
ibeen committed at the resicleuce of Miss.Conatance
Brown, the lady who was so t.kilfully-personated a
;short time since on the occasion of the robbery of
jewels from Messrs. Hunt and Roskell. A few
!days since a person presented himself at the house
in which Miss Brown resided when in Daat
I
'who, on being shown to the proprietor of the houSe
-stet.. el that he was Inspector Field, an officer from
London, whence lie had come in order to search,
for a quantity of missing plAte, which it was alleged
had been stolen by Miss Brown. He said that he.
wished to act as leniently as possible in'the execu-
tion of his duty, but that he was determined, if
pos,ible, to find the property, and if any resistance
wore offered he had with him other officers from
Loudon, who would, if necessary, support him in
his search by fore?. He was informed that all the
plate in the house was marked with the crest of
the owner. This a-t,:surance did not satisfy him,
and he •threatened to clear the house of ovetybody
'if any obstacle were opposed to Ida making'a most
complete search. With the,e threats the search
wa,3 prosecuted. Among other things examined
was a dressing-case of Miss Brown's. The pre-
tended officer to.dc from his pocket a bunch of keys, •
which he said belonged to the owner of the c tat. ;
and, on finding that none of them would open the
case, he declared that the lock had been tampered
with, and that he would break it open. The pro-
prietor of the holm) said he would go anti fetch a
locksmith, but he was told that he could not
be allowed to go out of his sight. The case was
broken open, and the pre' ended policeman took a
ring out of it, whichho sad he had beenlooking ft'r
the last seven years, which had belonged to L'ldy
Campbell. The trunks of the lady's maid of Miss
Constance Brown were next examined, corded,
and sent off to the railway station by the pro-
prietor of the hon.- e, at the direction of his vi-
sitor. The family plate chest was next thoroughly
overhauled, having been broken open, as the key
could not be found, and the " policeman from
Loudon" threatening to give the proprietor of the
house into custody if anything were found in the
chest which did not bear his name and crest. The
examination of the house and its contents having
been completed, some Madeira was ordered, and-,
the pretended policeman remained till a late hour
in the house, the female members of the family
being gra'eful to their visitor for the manner in
which tie had peifertred what they felt convinced
must be to him at all times a most disagreeable
duty. On leaving Dawlish the fellow had the cool
audacity to call at the police station and request
the polie-i of the t ,wri to keep a. sharp look-
out ou the house which he had just , plan
dared, and in which he had been so generously
treated. • Handbills have been issued by Mr. Field,
offering a reward for the apprehension of this un-,
principled representative, who is stated to be well
known to some of the detectives. It is believed
that the same individual who visited Dawlish re-
cently obtained from a nobleman in Portland-place,
to whom he represented himself as Inspector. Field,
and stated that his son was in extreme difficulty; a
cheque for 501. This cheque, it appears, was made'
p tyable to " Mr. Field or order ;" and when pre7.
sented at the banker's it was necessary that the
cheque should be endorsed. The would-be in-
spector, without thinking of the consequences,
made the endorsement when asked to do so on pre-
senting the cheque, and has thus exposed himself
to the penalties of forgery.
