Office and have brought him here.

another Office.

nest examination.

MA R Y-LA. BON NE.
Information was given to Mr, Gummi, the Sitting Magistrate,
on Thursday night, that an extensive robbery had been committed
in the afternoon, at the Lord High Admiral public house, in
Church-street,Lisson-grove. under the following circumstances:

While Mr. Baddin, the landlord, was engaged for a very short
time in the cellar, a cash box in his bed room was robbed of 1591.
in gold and silver, a 51. Bank of England note, and a cheque upon
Sir Claude Scott and Co. for 61. Four young men, of genteel ap-
pearance, had frequented the house for a few days. Two of them
were smoking sews in the club room just before the robbery was
committed, and the club room is on the first floor, as well as the
chamber. One of them came down, and engaged the maid at die
bar in serving him with a glass of brandy at the time, and imme-
diately afterwards both of them came together to the bar, took a
glass of brandy each, and left the house sbreptly, without paying
for it, until the bar-maid called them back for that purpose.—
A skeleton key was found in the bedreont door; the chest which
contained the cash-box had been forced with a small crow-bar,
technically called a " Jemmy," by thieves, which was left behind,
and the cash-boz was broken.
