ROBBERY FROM ATWAREHOUSE.-At the police court
yesterday, two men, Thomas Watson and Luke Meldon,
were charged with having stolen five casks of saltpetre,
and endeavouring to sell the same. It• appeared that

.v atson, who had been for twelve or rb. - years in the
employ of Mr. Lutwych, chemist (and without any impu-
tation on his honesty,) had taken, or sent away from his
master's premises, in Paul-street, on Thursday evening
last, five casks of saltpetre, weighing each 1121 b. These
were offered for sale by the other prisoner, Meldon, to
Mr. Benson, drysalter, Williamson-street, Church-street.
Mr. Benson had some like_ transactions with the prisoner

at a very small friction lower per cwt. (only Is.) than he
had been served with by Mr. Lutwych, who, he thought,
had charged him a little above the usual price at which
the trade was supplied ; but on the last occasion (that
stated) his suspicion& were roused that the article was not
honestly come by, and hence the apprehension of both
the prisoners. They were both committed for trial at
the sessions.

For years we have known him-as a humane and active

held in the grateful affection ofthe regular poor, amongst
whom his office brought him. She demonstration made
by those poor at his funeral. sufficiently shows the extent-
and depth of that affection, hundreds of them following
his remains• to their place of rest, in the church-yard of
Walton. Mr. Rowland leaves behind him
