EXT.ENSIVE ROBBERY at STOKE'
On Monday morning last, soon after seven o'clock,
a rumour was generally circulated that a robbery.
of serious extent had been committed at the shop of
Mr. R. Lindley, bookseller and sub-distributor of
stamps. The indications of a robbery were first
discovered by Mr. Lindley's female servant, who, 011
coming down stairs, perceived that the staple which re-
ceives the bolt of the lock on the inner door of the shop
had been wrenched off and her attention was alb
drawn to a quantity of papers which were scattered
about the floor of the parlour. She instantly called
Mr. Lindley, who got up in haste, and, after ex•
arnining the state of the shop, communicated with
the police. Inspector Armstrong (in the absence
of Major Macknight, who was at Stafford),
and subsequently Major Macknight himself,
inspected the premises. The grid under the
front shop window had been removed, and the case-
ment in the cellar window beneath the grid opened,,
for viihich purpose a pane opposite the handle had
been taken out, as wtll as another pane opposite
the bolt below. The wood had been chiselled
away from the door-post of the door on the
cellar stairs, and the bolt pushed back. The NI
staple of the shop inner door vitas also torn off, ell'
the alarm-bell behind the front door had shared the
same fate, and was lying on the counter, the door
itself being unfastened, so that it would appear the
thief or thieves had made their exit that way to the
street. The shop-drawers had the appearance of
having been rummaged, and a quantity of paper fled
been abstracted from a table-drawer in the parlor',
and thrown in confusion about the floor.
In the course of the day a placard was issued, gilt'
ing particulars of the property missing., from which it
app:lared that rumour had not exaggerated the amount.
It is stated to have consisted of near 700/. in moos'
and 115/. worth of plate and jewellery. The descrir
tion of cash is, Half Bank of England notes to toe
amount of 651.; and a quantity of gold and silver
coin and Bank of England notes—gold, 1201. ; silver'
about V. 10-.; and Bank of England notes to the
amount of 500/."—making a total of more than 687,1'
The following is a list of plate and jewellery :—"1
case containing 17 valuable gold wedding rings, sin"
30 gentlemen's fancy ditto, bestudded with diamonds
six steel chains, three German silver ditto, 24 Ger-
man silver guards 10 large ditto, four solid gold
ditto, six gilt ditto, 12 silver ditto ; 13 silk
cord purses, two silver knives, splendid jet
necklace, with brooch and bottle ; two jet neck'
chains, pair of bracelets, five dozen shawl pins, four
dozen pair of coat links, two silver corals; two dozen
silver penholders, splendid dessert case with silver
knife, fork, and spoon ; lady's companion, containing
a silver thimble and scissors, with case, &c.; 18 so'
ver thimbles, two silver butter knives, three fruit
ditto, three silver pickle forks, three silver caddy
shells ; a most valuable assortment of silver
pencil cases, desk seals, toothpicks, scissors and
sheaths, vinegaretts, watch-hooks, keys, buckles, studs'
tops and bottoms of purses, hand pins, chains, en',
small pins ; gold brooches, and a great variety '3'
bosom ditto ; gold cuff breguet chains and seals'
studs, lockets, pins, microscope, eye-glasses, and
quantity of knives, &c.," the whole valued at 1151'
cost price.

The cash-box containing the money, we under'
stand, had been left overnight in a compartment on,
the inner side of the shop counter; the plate an'
jewellery in a show-glass on the counter, where the,:
were usually kept, and which had been wrenchen
open.
. . _

Notwithstanding the most active efforts of the Po'
lice, no clue has yet been discovered to the perpet
tor or perpetrators of this serious robbery : thongo
the cash-box was found the same morning-00Y'
we are sorry to say, near some trees which skirt the
carriage road from Stoke to Fenton Manor House'
the residence of P. B. I3roade, Esq., to whom it g_,'
taken, and by him restored to Mr. Lindley. The
lock of the box had been ` orced.—North Staffordshire
