Coau Of SeSSions.--Henry p. Policy, gentle
manly looking young man brought to the
box-haying been convicted of robbng a grutle-
man from Pt;sburg, of upwards of 1000 dollars, in
four 500 dollar bills, smaller bills, and a pa
tent lever watch. Ii appeared that Tmdall came
to this city upon business, with the d6afts for the
money. The prisoner having ascertained tlat lac
had money, invited him to- dram shop, persuaded
him to drink until he became tpsey, and then
robbed him 1t appears that while General La
faycttc in Baltimore, Thomas Ross, constable
of that city, apprehended eleven pickpockets, and
wrote to Hays, the interchangeable high consta BILE of
Ncw-York, describing them, and desiring to know
if Hays had any thing recorded in his black book
against them. Hays wrote back that he had no.
thing against those described; but that il he would
upprehend Henry Philips Policy, (whom he had
traced to Philadelphia, and thence to Baltimore.)
with certain sum of money, he would take him
off his hands. The mails brought a reply,
that IN consequence of Hays description; Ross had
apprehended him, and found two $500 bills, the
watch, and $500 in smaller notes, together with a
horse aud gig. Hays then set about finding Tin
dali, who here from New-Oreans. He
traced him TO Philadelphia, and thence to Pitts
burg, foot Hays wrote the postmaster at
| Piusbug, found Findall and requested him to
come on, which he did foot, first Baltimore,
| and thence to this city-Eays having authorised
| the postmaster at Pttsburg to advance some mo-
| ney for his expences. The result was that the
| money and robber identified, and HAYS, with
an order from Gov. Yates, went to Baltimore, and
gallanted the young COrinthian to this city. Tin
dali recovered $1,000 and his watch. On being
sentenced L. the state prison for years, PO-
ley made profound bow, smiled, and bit his lip TO
prevent broad laugh. His demeamor was such,
altogc Their, as to make the unthiuking laugh, and
others sigh at such example of well-educated,
unfceling depravty.
