Who come in for The sitrer spoons! MIR. John
l.. Fowler, IA resident of the Island, missed Sc
ven silver table spoons and n couple of tea
spoons on Monday last. He missed at the
sumo Tune, the cOlOred boy IN his employment.
The boy, with an associate, negro named A.
bury Tyler, an incorrgbe sinner, were arrest
ed last night The boy acknow lodged he had
stolen the spoons and given them to Tyler, who
Immediately carried them to Mr. Voss, silver
smith on the avenue, who agreed to allow him
Sc "A in payment, but only paid at the ume
according to the negroes statement, an old brass
watch, valued at dollar, and eleven pence
Mr.. Noss was summoned. He denied The
whole transaction, except that he gave the boy
the watch, IN part payment, for half table
spoon, that he said he had found. The spoons
stolen from MIR Fowler were valued at three
dollars each. Both boys persisted in the asser-
ton that they had sold Mr.. Voss the spoons,
Justice Goddard, before whom the case was
tried, committed the two negroes. The qucs-
ton as to who lid "come in tor silver spoons, -
is, therefore, undecided. Many of the boarding
house keepers would be glad to know who
'comes i'll" for their 'silver spoors," etc. SC.
1t is due TO the vigilance of our police to say,
that Justice Goddard and MIR. Fowler, one of
the Auxiliary Guard, arrested Cook the roter,
concerned with the fire companies in Philadel-
phla, and not Mr.. Wood, as before stated. Mr..
Wood was the officer from Philadelphia, ac-
companicd by a person IN search of Cook, |
who was unable to identify him, though he was
selected to come for that purpose. Nj.
