LYNN AND HUNSTANTON BAILWAY.

-40---

Amongst the bills which have just received the
Royal assent, we notice that for the Lynn and
Hunstanton Railway ; an interesting extension
which we noticed a short time back from personal
inspection of the route, of the Eastern Counties
Railway. As it is but about fourteen miles, along
level ground by the sea-coast, we may hope the
contractors will not be long about it. We want just
such purely country spots accessible by railway,
and on the coast. And we feel quite confident that
Hunstanton, with its beautiful cliffs, pleasing coun-
try around, old baronial hall, and fine bracing air,
will soon become a favourite summer and autumn
resort of Londoners who prefer a quiet as well as a
very healthy sea-side.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

'..STREET.

ANOTHER POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—William Pearce, a
letter-carrier (the eighth within a very short time), was
placed at the bar charged with stealing a letter, the pro-
perty of the Postmaster. General.

Bingham, one of the police officers attached to the Post-
office, said he went to the residence of the prisoner in Ber-
mondsey, and found him sitting in the back parlour. On
perceiving the officer, Pearce took off his official coat, and
threw it doss n on the bed and ran away.
Saree, another officer, said he found the coat belonging
to prisoner. In the pocket was a cover of a letter directed
to " Miss Vard on, Foots Cray, Kent," and four other let-
ters. He afterwards went to Mortlake, and there received
information that the prisoner was living at Richmond. He
went there and apprehended him. On searching his lodgings
a quantity of clothing and articles were found of a very
suspicious nature. A letter-carrier named Wright (who
was committed for trial from this court on Saturday)
lodged with him, and on Pearce being asked to explain how
be became possessed of the property ho said it all belonged
to Wright, and that he knew nothing about it.
Thomas Harris, inspector of letter-carriers said the letter
from Oxford-street would arrive at the South Eastern Dis-
trict Office for sorting at about quarter to one. The pri-
soner was on duty at that time at the office, and a portion
of his duty was to sort the letters. The letter in question
ought to have been placed amongst the Woolwich.
Louisa Manders said she resided ac 29, St. John-street,
Clerkenwell, and on the 27th July she enclosed a gilt chain
in a letter and addressed it to Miss Varden, a lady residing
at Foot's Cray, Kent.

The daughter of the last witness proved the posting of
the letter at the receiving-house in Oxford-street, kept by
Mr. Cooper, about 12 o'clock the same day.
The prisoner who said nothing in his defence was fully
committed for trial,
