| PoLIsE, Saiurday.-The Magistrates were occ,pied
nearly all the morning, in endeavoring to ascertain
who might be the culpable party in q robbery com
mited on mold man Of the name Of Boyle, residngn
Fulton street
| Ii appears the old man had accumulated sum of
about $500, and that he kept the same in a chest Do
posted IN the room where he resided in Fulton st.
The old mans money has disappeared, and ne clew
| has AZ yet been acquired to the thief.
| Some suspicion rested on John McAliser, who
also lived in the house with old Boyle, buf after
a severe examination, the Magistrate dismissed him,
| woman was also examined, who said her hos
band had told her John McAlster had told him he
had taken the old mans money" This the husband
positively denied and declared that so far from JohD
McAlister having the money, that he knew him to
have been in great difficulty, and have been obi
ged 10 borrow to furnish necessares for his family
One Peter Boyle was also examined, but he told
such contradictory tales that the Magistrates decar-
ed they would not believe him on his OATH and refu-
sed 10 issue warrant on ssch evidence
Here the matter rests at present The money has
not been seen since Christmas therefore 10 say how
long il has been stolen is impossible
The matter is in the hands Of Mr. Brink and ane-
thcr of our enterprzlng officers and ne pains win be
spared TO recover the money. For the present old
Boyle must pat up with his loss and ne wishes 10
preserve his cash for the future advise him TO stow
tin better place than in old chest in a rat hole
