BOW-STREET.

Yesterday, James Linlet and Henry Durhans were brought be-
fore Sir R. BINNIR, charged with having been concerned in a bur-
glary in Norfolk-street, which our Readers may remember was re-
lated in our Journal of the 2tith of November. A man named
Abrahams was then committed on the evidence produced against
him. From the facts stated, it was clear that more persons than
the prisoner had been concerned in the robbery; and some disclo-
sures were made by Abrahams which induced the officers of the
Bow-street establishment to be particularly watchful in discovering
the two prisoners now brought to the office. They were appre-
hended and taken to Marlborough-street Office on different charges
from the present, and, when information was received, they were
brought from Marlborough•street Office for the purr e of being
examined here. The priincipal witness examined w the wife of
i Abrahams who was convicted for the same offence. She stated,
Ithat she hadl been in the habit of seeing the prisoner Durham in
company with her husband at the Fox and Goose, in Great Earl.
street, Seven Dials. Some time before die robbery took place, she
saw the prisoner Durham standing opposite to her window, and
she remarked to her husband, There is that nice young man we
used to see at the Fox and Goose." He then came in, and soon
after her husband went with him into the mixt room. They con-
tinued whispering there some time, and then went to the Fox and
Goose. She went, about nine o'clock in the evening, to give ber
husband the key of the house, and he then told her he should be
home at eleven o'clock. Ile did not return all the night, and the
next morning she went out with her landlord, for the purpose of
seeking him. She had scarcely left the door, when she met Dur-
ham. She asked him what had become of her husband ? He said
" silence—cone round here, and I'll tell you where he is." She
declared she would not move until he told her where he was. He
then said, "heisin an awkward thing I'm afraid. He and I com-
mitted a burglary last night in Norfolk-street, and I'm afraid it will
go hard with him. We were obliged to kill a dog. I held the
legs while lAntott cut its throat." He then advised her to go to
Bow-street, and in silence to hear the whole of the examination.
She did so, and afterwards went to Newgate with him. A search
was made in the lodgings of Durham, and some skeleton keys found ;
some stockings marked 11. D. were also found. On searching the
lodgings of Linton, sonic stockings similarly marked were found ;
in the cellar of the home some skeleton keys were discovered.
The servant maid of Mr. Fraser, the Gentleman whose house had
been broken open, swore that Duiliam was very like one of the
persons whom she had seen outside the door on the night of the
robbery.—The two men were remanded till Monday.

Watt hat Camden Town, before day-light on Tuesday morning,with
the margied remains of the sheep in a dirty sack on his shoulder.—

FRAUDN ON FAA3llllM—Yesterday, a man named William Salter,
was charged with being the coadjutor of several persons who have
been pretty successful in swindling Essex farmers of their property.
Morris, the officer, stated, that the prisoner was apprehended by
him, at the instance of Mr. Turner, a farmer residing at Layton,
in Essex, who charged bin with being connected with two men
named Oxley and Short, in defrauding him of six loads of hay.
Several farmers were present, and Mr. Turner stated, that on Sa-
turday se'nnight a man named Short came to his farm, at Layton,
and stated to him that he wished to purchase a considerable quan-
tity of hay, corn, &c. if he could get them upon such terms as to
enable him to obtain a profit by his speculations. Witness expressed
his readiness to supply him. Short also stated that he had obtained
the Government contract for the supply bf hay, corn, &c. for the
use of the Barracks in Regent's Park, and he wanted six loads, as a
sample, sent to London. Witness agreed to send him six loads, and
on Monday last be sent them to London, directing his carters to
leave them at the Barracks in Regent's Park. The prisoner met
the carts on the way, and directed the carters to take two loads
only to the Barracks, and the other four were, by his directions,
conveyed to stables in Gore-street, Tottenham-court-road, and else-
where, and sold. Witness,.by a fortunate chance, happened to go to
the Barracks at the time of the delivery of the two loads, and on
inipsring of the Quartet;-master, he found that the representation
of Short, as to his being the contractor, was false. Witness shortly
afterwards traced where the other four loads of hay bad been con-
veyed to, by Short and Oxley, and he fell in with the prisoner,
who was riding the same horse which was rode by Short at the
time he went to Layton, and gave the order for the 'bay.—The
prisoner said he knew nothing of Short ; he was in the employ of
Oxley, and received 18s. a week for his services. The prisoner
was remanded.
