fHs ROBBERY THE Cry BANK.-Since tho
arrest OF all tho parties that were concerned direct
Is or indirectly, il the robbery of this Institution
IN April last, full confession has been obtained
by the Police Magistrates, of all the circumstance s
connected with that unprecedented transaction.
Ii appears that the prime pal agents in tie scEomc
were Smith and Murray Their first intention
was to rob the Phcnix Bank; the outer door of
which Murray entered three times. The scheme
was frustrated by his discovering the last time he
entered. that person had been stationed within
fer the purpose of keeping watch. They then re-
solved to attempt the robbery of the City Bank
The keys used were made by Murray in Smiths
shop, from Il wax impression of each key-holc,
which he had obtained. They entered the Bank
on Sunday afternoon before the watch was set
and did not leave it until after day light on Mon
day morning, when the watch was DISCHARGED
Each OF them was provided with n large cloak, by
which they were enabled to escape observation
with their booty. The money was taken to Muir
rvs house, and atterw ards, by Smith, to Mrs.
bangss, as appeared i'll tho course of his trial.
On Thursday mig succeeding the event Smith
carried TO the house of Parkinson ahout 500 doub
looms and quantity OF the stolen notes amount
ing III ali to about S37, 600. Parkinson states that
smith requested him to take care of it for him.
but said nothing about the manner by which he
had obtained it, though he, knowing of the roh
hory had no doubt that it was Il portion of the
Bank money. He therefore concealed il first under
the bricks IN the fire place. and afterwards in the
old plane, In which 1t recently found Mrs
Smith was acquainted with the fact of his havino
the money, and received of him, for various pnr
poses, at different times, about two thousand dol
lars.
1t is also esccrtainod, that Smith and Murray
were notorious rogues in England, and that they
became acquainted at Botany Bay. The real name
OF smith is james Honeyman. He at one time
passed by the name ofJames Wynn, and carried on
tho bushes of leather draper, in London He
subsequently, opened public house in Blaok4riars
load which became general rendezvous for thieves
ard pckPockets In 1896, lie was apprchendcd
upon charge of felony, and being found gully
was sentenced TO be transported to Botany BAY,
Tor the term of his natural life. 1Ic succeeded in
making his escape in about year, and returned to
London In November, 1929, he and Parkinson
| came to this country. Parkinson having previous
~ become bankrupt.
80 much OF the money as has not been recovered
by the Bank, was given by Smith to Murray, on
the same night that ho visited Parkinson. s1er

attacked tho young lady with great violence, and
inflicted dangerous wound with an instrument
supposed to be dirk. The object of the villain
was no dolbt murder, and he probably thought lie
had effected it. The circumstances hayc produced
