consequences of their misconduct were of a most serious and me-

ceed against them.

111 A R Y-LA-BONN E. s
Butiout ar.—Thursday evening a young man named Henry Ferris
was brought up by John Staples, of this Office, on suspicion of com-
mitting a daring and extensive robbery, in the house of Mr. Hol-
land, Cornwall-terrace, Regent's Park.
It appeared that on Tuesday evening last, during Mr. Holland's
absence, the house was kft in charge of two maid-servants, and
about eight o'clock they were alarmed by a loud noise, like the
breaking of one of the escrutoires in the parlour, from which they
subsequently ascertained it in reality proceeded; but they at the
moment were 10 overcome with terror, as to be unable to stir or
give an alarm; and on the return of Mr. Holland, it appeared a
'thief had, by jumping over the area rails and opening the parlour
window, gained admittance into the house, and plundered a se-
awake of bills to the amount of £llOO, and bond of security for
them, with ether valuable papers; and also a bag, containing
£l9 4s. in silver. It was supposed the thief knew the premises
well, as be went direct to the secretaire, and bad not touched se-
veral articles of plate, which could easily have been carried off.—
Information was given at this Office, and Staples, in his search,
found the top or flat of a gilt coat-button in the area, which had
evidently been broken off in the thief's endeavouring to get in;
from his inquiries be learned the prisoner had lived in Mr. Hol-
land's family, but was discharged ; and also that he was seen about
that neighbourhood with a female, on the evening of the robbery.
Staples instantly obtained his address, and took him into custody,
and on examining his coat found one of the buttons behind had
been broken from the stem, or shank, which exactly fitted the bit
in his possession.
The prisoner said, he was at the West London Theatre, and in
going in the button was broken; he was in the Theatre all that
evening.--lie was remanded.

ted, and he had information where two of the thieves were. They

watch-house first, and as he was taking his prisoner a mob of thieves
attacked him, heat him about the head, of which he bore proofs,
