APPREHENSION OF THEAKSTONE, THE BANK
ROBBER.—About the middle of March last, a clerk in a
highly responsible position in the Branch Bank of Eng-
land at Portsmouth, named Christopher Edwin Theak-
stone, about 47 years of age, absconded with a large sum
of money in his possession. He appears to have lived ex-
travagantly, and he resorted to embezzlement in order to
supply the n'ecessities created by the vices in which he
indulged. For some time nothing was heard of his whera-
abouts ; but at last Webb and Huggott, two detective
officers discovered the offender at No. 24, Palace-place,
Lambeth. ‘Accompanied by Mr. Inspector Hamilton, they
proceeded there on Monday night, but Theakstone being
denied to them, they broke several doors, in order to get
at him. Whilst the officers were thus engaged, Theakstone
took a razor, and cut his throat in a most frightful manner.
His recovery is doubtful.

for an amalgamation An agreement between the
the Great Western and the West Midland Railways is
stated to have been effected on a basis similar to that which
guided the amalgamation some years ago of the North-
Eastern lines, and which has yielded very satisfactory re-
sults. In consequence of this the price of Great Western
shares went to-day from 71.4 to 73, and of West Midland
from 47 to 51. Purchases of the lett& stock have been
made for several days past, on account, it is presumed, of
