DARING ROBBERY.

Bishop, one of the officers of Bow-street, has,
(mice(' in town from Case-Haughton, with
,a
yoting man natuttl James Johnson, ‘c hi) i 3 now' its
the. Compter, snider a charge of having stolen
from the office of Mess. Beurdition and Hewit, of
Little Friday-street, Cheops*, a cash-box,,cunie
taining bank•netes, cheques, and bills of exchange
to the limonnt Of 800!. It appears, as fat et
can be at present ascertained, that the young mats
had, at some period or other, been employed by
Messrs. Bourddlon and Hewit, who are solicitors.
On Tuesday last, he went into t he office in which the
box was deposited, and represented himself to one
of the clerks us being sadly affected by a bowel
complaint, and he in consequence was permitted
to retire backward freqeently. At length he
went away, and in the course of the evening
the box was missing. Suspicion immediately
fell upon him, and on inquiry, it was in part
confirmed by his having absconded into the coun-
try. Mr. liarmer, the solicitor, and Bishop,
the Officer, immediately went in pursuit of him,
and after 3 day's vigilant search, aucceeded in ap-
prehending him at Cu-e-Haughton. None of the
property, however, could be traced. Sonic
short time since Johnson went into the country,
and represented himself to be an actor of great
celebrity at one of the Theatres .Royal, and that
his trenscendast abilities *ere rewarded by a
commensurate salary, viz. a per week
Under this representation,• he succeeded iu obe
teiniug the atl'ections of an amiable young girl in
that neighbourhood, and seduced her to town under
au honourable promise. 'On their arrival in town,
however, she found that all hit representations
were false.
.An illicit intercourse, it is presumed,
took place ; for, although she was surrounded
by nothing but concomitant miseries, she could uot
make up her mind to return-to her friends, sup 4
posing that, in the first place, she. would sue in.
vain for forgiveness,. and, in the second, that by
her return she wonlil fix eterdal disgrect upon her
fwtr~ily. Ist beeamca matter of importance, for the
sake of justice, to trace the property, and after
some trouble`tbe poor deluded girl was found, and
in consequence of the communications she matte
to 13irliop, he proceetled.to the privy, where the
prisoner had been, and after much fatigue and
labour, till the money (except a five-pot-rod note)
was loglid, where ,the prisoner had secreted
It. The five-pound nate was afterwards trece,t
to have been paid away by the prisoner. The
cheques and bilk exchange had been. deatroyed:.
The prisoner is not more 'thati.2o yeitt of age.
