ROBBERY OF FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS.
—Last week, Michael Mooney, a youth about twenty
years of age, and a woman, named Margaret Tucker, were
brought up in custody of Inspector Bates, charged with
stealing £450, belonging to Messrs. Hingley and Sons,
chain-cable manufacturers, Goree-piazzas, on the 7th of
July last. Mr. Martin, attorney, who appeared on behalf
of the prosecutors, stated that his clients had a manufac-
tory near Stourbridge, in Worcestershire. The male
prisoner was in the employ of the firm, and the female
was the keeper of an improper house in this town. On
the 7th July last, the prosecutors enclosed £450, in Bank
of England notes, in an envelope addressed to their manu-
factory, the Cradley chain works, near Stourbridge, Wor-
cestershire, for the purpose of paying wages. The letter
was given to the male prisoner to register and post, but it
appears that instead of doing so he abstracted the con-
tents, which he replaced with waste paper, and after
registering this he posted it for the house in Worcester-
shire. On the following morning he took his departure
for America in the steamship Niagara, the female prisoner
having been with him at Messrs. Maclver's office when
he engaged his passage. Before he sailed he wrote a letter
to his employers telling them that he had taken the
money and gone out to America. In consequence of this
one of the firm started off by the next steamship, and
caused the prisoner to be apprehended in Baltimore and
brought back to this port. When taken to the police
station, Mooney stated to Bates that he had given £lOO in
notes and £lO in gold and silver to the female prisoner,
and had paid £l5 for his passage to America. When
Detective-officer Scaife went to apprehend the prisoner
Tucker he found a letter in her bedroom which had been
sent to her by the prisoner Mooney upon his arrival in
America. It chiefly referred to his " sister Jane," for
whom he intimated he had committed the robbery, and
he expressed a wish that she would follow him by the
next steamer. He concluded by saying that, if his
" sister" did not go out to America, he should return to
Liverpool, for he " did not care if they transported him
for it." It was proved that, previous to the committal of
the robbery, Mooney was in the habit of going to the
house of the female prisoner, but she denied all knowledge
of the robbery, and when he confessed at the police station
that he had given her £lOO, 'she affected to be very much
astonished at " his audacity." The evidence not being
quite complete, and the notes not having been traced to
Tucker, Mr. Martin applied for a remand, which was
granted for seven days.
