PLYMOUTH, Monday—. Detective officers Brown
and Annie, of the Devonport Dockyard Metropolitan police
force, seized last week, at He'stone, in Cornwall, four casks
containing 16cwt. of copper bolts, sheet capper, broken en
gine bearings, &c., from a dealer in old metal named
Richard Paskoe, who had buried the greater portion in the
lands of his brother, a farmer residing five miles off, at
Sithney. The brothers were taken before the magistrates
on Saturday ; the principal offender was released on bail,
the other on his personal rocopisance. It appears that, in
consequence of the activity of Mr. Superintendent Bray
and the police, the system of despatching Government
Plunder by rail was so much checked that those engaged in
the traffic were compelled to resort to sea transit, and that
the course adopted was to ;end by a sailing vessel from Ply-
Zaouth to Penryn, and thence by land to Heletone. Here
ke metals were sorted and despatched by land across the
country to Hayle, whence steamers conveyed them to Bristol
for transmission by rail to the melting pot at Birmingham.
Mr. Sleep, plumber, of Plymouth, the alleged owner of the
first cask stopped, 3241 b., will be brought before the borough
naugistrates on that chargé shortly. He is out on
remand.
The metals are wrapped in shavings or straw to prevent
chinking when moved. The Government mark, the broad
arrow, is attempted to be obliterated in every case. In many
the effort is unsuccessful, and in nearly all, by submitting
the bolts to a strong heat, those parts compressed in mark-
ing are completely exposed. It is very extraordinary that
the local policemen have been frequently looking on at
lielstone while the Government metals have been sorting.
They profess ignorance of the existence of the broad arrow,
,e4l, acoording to the staterrymts of the metropolitan force,
the magistrates and solicitors in the west of Cornwall are
equally uninformed on that stibject. Pascoe has been re-
ceiving two or threr.i tons per week. The metals are not
supposed to be taken away through the gates of the dock-
-3',..4.1118, but are conveyed to the various landing-places from
ships repairing in Hamoaze and the Sound. It is feared
thatl-, in some cases portions of the bolts are cut off before
they are driven into the sides of the ships.
