HOTEL ROBBERIES AT RACE MEETINGS.—No little con-
sternation was created at Bath on Wednesday morning
by the discovery of several bedroom robberies at the York
House, the Royal, and other hotels. One gentleman at
the Royal, who neglected to fasten his bedroom door, lost
money and jewellery to the amount of .£lO6. At the
ork House another gentleman (Mr. Cole) was robbed
of .£l7, and the thief, or thieves, likewise visited the
sleeping apartments of Sir Thomas Moncrieffe and Mr.
Bevill, evidently with the same intention ; but the latter
gentleman being "wide awake" when his door was
tried, invited his visitor to "come in ;" but instead of
complying with Mr. B.'s polite request, ho " sloped." Sir
Thomas Moncrieffe occupied Lord Stanford's usual bed-
room, at the back of their sitting-room, the duor out of
which he omitted to fasten, and in the morning discovered
his dressing bag (which was ou the chest of drawers when
ho retired to rest) ripped open, and in a disordered state,
on the sofa in tha sitting-room. The previous week, at
Winchester, Mr. S. Ilaiighton was robbed of .£5O in notes,
under similar circumstances—it is supposed by a foreigner;
and there is little doubt that the Bath robberies were com-
mitted by the same experienced chevalier d'industrie, as on
each occasion the suspected stranger in question took his
departure by au early train.
