PoLIcE-Tuesday, March 2lst-Neqro franpea-
On Thursday night negro came into the store of
Mr.. Borack of Catharne street, and offered for sale
a very valuable blue cloth cloak and a coat. Mr.. Be-
rack suspected they were stolen, and after deal of
higgng, he pretended to come into the terms of the
negro gave him 50, and told him TO in the
morning and he would pay him the balance.
Mr.. Borack communicated this circumstance to Mr..
Abrahams, his STEP father, who Immediately went TO
the police, but no information of any robbery of the
kind had been received there. The negro called at
Mr.. Borack's according TO appointment, and was
again put of until the ever:ng.
In the mean time the owner of the cloak had been
TO the police, and described his lost property Officer
Bowyer, accordingly, went to Mr.. Abrahams, to en-
qllre If such an article had been pledged with him,
when the circumstance of the negro was related 10
hl, and IN the afternoon the black rascal was up
pretended.
Mr.. Boruck gives as his reason for not stopping the
goods at once, which we think very good one, that
he some time since detained some silver spoons Of
fered for sale by negrc and that all the satisfaction
he got to pay the costs of areplevin, which the
negro Instituted against him. He thought il best,
therefore, to let the present rogue have trfe of
ney and by this means gain time procure such in
formation might lead 10 discovery of the owner
of the goods and enable him have the thief arrest
cd.
While on this subject we may as well give bit Of
advice TO all persons having articles stolen, which is
Immediately upon discovering their loss, give m
formation at the police, describing the goods &C., and
the next step should be TO warn the pawnbrokers
against receiving the same or TO stop them if offered
TO be pledged.

We do not wonder at rogues being shy of New
York If they do engage IN their nefarious calling
they must vanish or their capture is certain. Perhaps
in city in the world is there less of heavy crime in
| the way of robbery than New York. To what is this
owing Without doubt to the efficiency and vigilance
