. ALLEGED THEFT OF IRISH LINEN.-At the police-
court, yesterday,' a man named George Gibaey and a
carter (whose name was not stated) were charged with
stealing two boxes of Irish linen from the Ch.rence Dock
on Saturday afternoon. It appears that the linen was
shipped from an Irish house to Messrs. Mathews & Co. of
Water-street, in this town. The steam-packet company,
in whose vessel it was brought, sent up the invoice of the
packages to the office of Messrs. Mathews, where it was
duly filed. In the course of the evening, however, the
linen was called for at the Clarence Dock and, no suspicion
being entertained, was delivered to the carter who was
known to be occasionally employed kty Messrs. Mathews.
The carter, moreover, produced the invoice. At present
the case is shrouded in some mystery ; and, as the evidence
was imperfect for a committal, the prisoners were remanded
so that further investigation may be made.
