ROBBERY OF MR. EX-SHhRIFF PARKINS.
The following curio's particulars of the disposition
of the property plundered from Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins
some time back, will be read with interest. Their au-
thenticity may be relied on.
It may be remembered, that an Is ishroan, of the name
if Daniel M'Vey, was found guilty of the robbery, and
inatenced to be hanged. The property plundered con-
noted of diamonds, pearls, and East India gold coins,
to the value of upwards of 4,0001. and while the un-
happy man was lying in the condemned cells, Mr. Par.
kins visited him, for the purpose of ascertaining where
the property was deposited. In answer to these inqui-
ries, and to similar ones made by the Reverend Mr.
Devereux, the convicted man uniformly persisted in
declaring that he had disposed of the whole property,
for a very considerable sum, to a man in Liverpool.—
The truth of . this declaration he also solemnly attested
to the Clergyman, when on the scaffold. Some time
after the execution, the widow of M•Ver called on
Mr. Parkins, and gave to him the following letter,
communicating where the property was deposited, and
which was written by M'Vey on the day preceding his
execution. The reason assigoed for giving up the letter
was, that M•Vey's relations were also in possession of the
secret, and had secured the property, of which they re-
fused giving her a share. No doubt can exist of the
Igenuineness of the letter, of which the following is a
[verbatim copy: 0 Magnate Cell. April 6th.
" These words is from my hand. —Dann. M'Vev.
