however gave her 1Oo dollars, as an earnest of their intention to do her future justice.- Some short time after this Patrick Finley was married to Mary O'Mara, whom he had cOurted, and they went to Ireland together. and returned tO reside in this city. Finley however soon after the theft buried the mon- ey under stable of Mr. Janeway, up town.
 where it lay secure until the return of Finley, who hired himself tO MT. William w. Jane
 way. the son of the lady he had robbed.
 Much of the money was exchanged hy him for gold. and this was kept in the basket Of an old demijohn. in the cellar, from which he l and his wife helped themselHe es, as OccaslOn required. Lydia Ann Baker. also soon after | went tO live with her mother, and carefully concealed her share of the plUnder in her trunk, using it only tO supply herself and | mother with necessaries and clUthing. liz this state of cODcealnsent, the thieves aOd their stolen money remained, until Thursday
 of the present week. when by a mere acci- dent unforeseen by the guilty. their concern
 in the robbery came tU the ears of Justice Hopson, and tO the officers, Messrs. Merit. Sparks. and H0mans, and although the in- formation was too slight to grant warrant
 upon. lhe officers determined to assume the. ] responsibility. and at all hazards arrest the suspected persons. f.- '.. 1 Proceeding to the house of Finley No. l3T
 Laurens street, they found the house shut up
 and fastened. and nO one at home. Merrffu
 however found the shutter of rear window
 unlocked, he and the other officers jumped in. They eaiehed the house closely, and were
 ewarded by the discovery of nearly Sl7O0 in gold, which they bore to the Office. Alter a
 considerable search they found Finley in Dn- l ane street and arrested him, and also his VI ifo
 after night, and carried them iO the Office. By the time they got through with these it was 10 o'clock. and the officers then went to
 the house of Mrs. Baker io Ridge street. and arrested Lydia Ann, her daughter, one of the thieves, but found little money with her: on her examination, denied at first a!I Knowledge "f the affair, as did also Finley. Merritt
 pectiDg that ihe money was in the house of the mother of Lydia Ann Baker, left the pris- oners 10 be examined by Justice Ho2son and
 MT. Stevens. and set out very late at night for old Mrs. Bakers house. There and else
 where, by the exercise of that ripe judgment and well executed ingenuity for which he is ] SO famous. he contrived to ferret out facts that led to the discovery of about $a7O0 in Bank hills and gold. which had been so long hid in the concealed trunk of Lydia Ann Baker, and which he brought down to the Office. Tho two females afi+r the production of the mon ey, turned mutual infnrmers. and gave the in formation we have above detailed. Finley, however. confessed nothing.
 Thus after lapse of about two years, near ly S5.O00 of the $lO.OOO lost by Mrs. Jane- way, have been recovered by the sound jndg- ment and active ingenuity of Justice HOps"n and the officers above named, and the three thieves are in close confinement to atone t,p the violated laws for the wrongs they inflict- ed upon their employer and hpnr fact"F.
