BOW-STREET.

Two men were yesterday brought in custody to
this office, and underwent a long private examination
before Sir B. BIRNIE, OU suspicion of having been
concerned in the burglary at the house of Mr. War-
rington, of West Moulsey. No circumstance, how-
ever, was elicited to warrant their further detention,
and they were accordingly discharged. The female
servant still remains in custody, and Isishop, and
the rest of the officers engaged in the affair, are in-
defatigable in their exertions to bring the offenders
to justice.
Charles Springall, a min employed as waiter and
pot-boy at the Savoy-palace public-house, Savoy-
street, strand, was charged before Mr. lIALLs last
night, on suspicion of having robbed his employer
of cash to die amount of upwards of 1001. a post-
ohit bead for 450/., several bills and promissory
notes, overdue, and a quantity of silver spoons and
other property.
Miss Landman, daughter to the proprietor of the
Savoy-palace, stated that at three o'clock yesterday,
she had occasion to go up stairs, when she found
that the door of the front bed-room on the second
floor had been opened by means of a skeleton key.
On entering the room, she found several articles of
wearing apparel strewn upon the floor and lying
upon the table in a state of disorder. She also found
that a bureau had been broken open. She called
her mother up stairs, when upon examining. the
bureau, they found that 70/. has been stolen from
it. The money consisted of 30 sovereigns, 10/. silver,
and 30/. in Bank of England notes. On examining
an inner room, witness and her mother found that
two drawers had been opened by means of skeleton
keys one of those drawers contained a post-obit
bond for 450/., and other securities to a large amount,
all of which were stolen. A great number of silver
spoons, silver &e. had been stolen from the
other drawers. The box of a benefit society, con-
taining a sum of money, had also been eartied away.
Mr. HALLS asked the witness what grounds she
had for suspecting that the prisoner was the thief.
The witness replied, that about a week since she
had reason to believe that the prisoner bad stolen
5/. in silver, which had been placed in his way. The
money had unaccountably disappeared.
Fagan, the officer, who apprehended the prisoner,
stated that ho searched his box, in which he found
a sovereign and a half, and also a silver watch. It
appeared that the prisoner in the course of the after-
noon had waited noon three genteel-looking men,
who called for some ale, and bread and cheese, in
a room upstairs. These persons, after waiting a
short time, suddenly left the house leaving their
glasses full.
The prisoner being asked if he had any thing to
say to the charge, replied that he knew nothing of
the robbery. With respect to the watch, he had
had it for three years, and had bought it at a shop
in Fleet market.
Mr. Landman said that be had never seen the
prisoner wear the watch. _

Two or three witnesses, however, depofed that
they had seen the watch in the prisoner's possession
on several occasions.

Mr. HALLS observed, that there WAS no evidence

at present to connect the prisoner with the robbery.
into
custody then- stated; that he had also taken
custody the female servant of the house, who, it ap-
peared, had a silver spoon in her pocket that Lad
been missed by the family a fortnight before.
It turned out, however, that the girl, whose
honesty had never been impeached before,had placed
the spoon in her packet for security, which she was
in the habit of doing when strangers were in the re-
freshment rooms.

Mr. HALLs immediately directed that she should
be taken from the bar. Although circumstances in
some measure justified her being placed time, her
integrity suffered nothing from the circumstance.
There was nothing like evidence against either of the
prisoners, whom he could not think of detaining.
The prisoners were accordingly discharged, and
Fagan. was directed to use every exertion to endea-
vour todis,:over the perpetrators of a robbery so
daring and extensive.
