minutes to 8 o'clock. The jury retired to consider
their verdict, and at 8 o'cLck z eturned into court,
and found a verdict for the Vainliff, the devisee.This announcement was received with loud demon-

remained in court, beard the verdict and the
ipplause with great calmness and sit-possession,
but with marked signs of pleasure, and immediately
left the hall, leaning on the-arm of Sir Henry
Durrant, amid the warm congratulations of her

SINGULAR RECOVERY OF 4001.
WORTH OF GOLD WATCHES.

On Saturday last a gent named Blankinsee, a
dealer in watches residing in Birmingham, was a pas-
seeger from G ierueey by the expre,s mail steam boat
that runs between Jersey and Weymouth, and from the
want of a pier at Guernsey passengers and luggage have
to be taken to and from the ship as she lies in the roade
by small boats. On his getting on board he found great
confusion prevailed from this inconvenient state of
things, and he placed his hat box, containing 40 valu-
able gold watcbee by the side of the iunnel on deck.
Just as the steamer was about to pr ,teed for htr
destination, Weymouth, Mr. Blankinsee missed his
hat-box He raised an alarm, and on waking inquiries
he ascertained from one of the craw that a gentleman
that came in the ves,,el from Jersey, left at Guernsey
with a bat-box similar to that described by Mr.
Blankinsee. That gentleman immediately appealed to
;he captain, and asked him to put back, but bed dined,
on the ground that he could not do so having the mails
on board. A steam tug happened to be at the
time near the Express, and on signalling to her
she came along ide and conveyed Mr. Blankinsee
to Guernsey, where he put himself in coinneu-
nication with the authorities, who ascertained
that a gentleman, answering the description given
ey one of the crew of the Express, had left almost
simultaneously with that ve'ael in the " Metropolis "
steamer, plying direct between Guernsey and London.
\lr. Blankinsee then hired a special steamer, at an
expense of twenty pounds, to convey him to Weymouth,
and on his arrival there he telegraphed the circum-
stances to the Detective Department, Scetland-
yard, when Inspector Whicher made inquiries
and ascertained that the "Metropolis" had not
arrived in the river. He then despatched two expe-
rienced officers of the force, Sergeants W. Smith and
H. Lockyer to await her arrive!. She arrived at the
Custom House Quay about five o clock in the afternoon,
and was immechately boarded by the officers, who
narrowly scanned the paeiengers, but were unable to
find any one answering the de- cription given. After,
however, the luggage had been cleared out they saw a
solitary hat-box was left behind which, howev
answered the description given, and fancying some one
had secreted himself in the vies-1, they made a feria search,
but could find no one. A lady and gentleman about this
time made their appearance, and made anxious inquiries
for a missing hat-box, but they would not have any-
thing to do with the hat box in question. Just at this
moment Mr. Blankinsee, who had travelled exprecs
from Weymouth, arrived, and identified the box ; and,
on its being opened, to his greet joy he found his
watches, worth about 400/ , in the same condition 0.-;
when he packed them. It is, however, but right to
state that the gentleman ri4erred to above is a highly
respectable individual, and is not aware of the mistake
ne hal made. He had been staying some time at
Jersey, for the benefit of his health, and preferred going
erect from Guernsey to London, so as to avoid railway
travelling.
