ROBBERY AND ARREST OF RoBBERs.-On
Friday night last, the jewelry store of ]. P.
Chamberlin, at West Killingly, Conn, near
the Danielsonville Station, was broken open
and robbed of jewelry to the value of about
$500. On Saturday morning a carpet bag

by a lad, secreted under large box near the
depot. On Saturday, 2. NJ, after hunt
through the woods and villages, the suspected
parties, three notorious thieves, recently dis
charged from the Rhode Island State Prison.
were captured, by Mr.. Stanton Fitch, on the
railroad track, near Baskerville, 10 miles from
the scene Of the robbery. They gave their
names as john Davis, John Thompson, and
Charlie Rooney alias Rookie.
They intended to take the Steamboat train
for New York, which usually leaves Daniel
sonville about 8 o'clk in the morning, but the
boat being detained by fog, daylight overlook
them, and they judged it safest to leave their
booty and decanp. 1t is singular, that al
though two young men slept in Mr.. Cham
berlin's Store, the robbers perfected the bur-
glary, without in the least disturbing them.
1t would seem as if the rascals had spent their
spare time in the School house las it was found
open, and the ends of cigars were scattered
on the floor. Some property was found in
their possession which it is supposed, was stol-
len from Ross Express.

EXTRAORDINARY LAW CASE.-Some strange
cases turn up in our Law Courts occasionally.
The following remarkable case, involving the
question of surviyorship, lately came before a
British Court for adjudication by the Master
of the Rolls 1t appears that amongst the
passengers of the unfortunate ship Dalhouse
which was wrecked off Beechy Head last Oc-
tober, were Mr.. and Mrs. Underwood, and
their daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Under
wood, and two of their children, were swept
off the deck simultaneously but one of their
daughters, Catharine, was lashed to spar by
sailor, named Joseph Reed and was seen
alive after her parents had persisted. The
greatest interest was felt at the time as to her
ultimate fate, which was subsequently set at
rest by her lifeless body being drifted ashore
still dashed to the spar. Before embarking on
this calanitous voyage, Mr.. Underwood and
his wife each made will, The husband left
his property to his wife for life, then to his
children, and if the children should die be-
fore the age of 81, then to a gentleman Of the
name OF Wing, whom he named as his exec
utor. The wife left her property to her hus-
band, subject to the life interest of her child
rem and if the husband should die i'll her
lifetime, then to Mr. Wing absolutely. I'm
der the circumstances, Miss Elizabeth I'm
derwood, the representative of the daughter
Catharine, contended that Mr.. Wing was on
ly to be entitled to the property under Mrs.
Underwood's will, if Mrs. Underwood sur
vived him; and, therefore, inasmuch as they
persisted simultaneously he acquired no right;
but that Miss Catharine Underwood surviv-
ing her parents became entitled to the proper
ty, and through Cathnrine, she, the plaintiff
was entitled. 1t was urged by medical opin-
ion, on the part of Mr.. Wing, that Mr.. I'm
derwood, being a strong man and a good
swimmer, in all probability survived his wife,
The Master of The Rolls, however, consider
ing that the deaths of the unfortunate pair
were simultaneous, decided that the plaintiff
as representative of the daughter, would take
the property. Toronto Globe.
