LARCENY OF SUGAR BY SrEvEpoREs.-ren more
ALLEGED sugar thieves have been arrested and locked
I'D in Quarantine JAIL The men were stevedores work
ing en- board the bark Oakland. Their names Jane
Drew Jos. yslpesu, John Kelly, Patrick Kelly, Michael
McLsughp, ThOs. Morgan, VIM. Maherdy, Christian
Alexander, John Miller and Thomas Sherwood. Drew
and vapeau had come shore for provisions for the
other stevedores, and arrested at about o'clock
by special pstrolman Sergeant Williams. Inquiry wa,
made of these men as to their connection with the
bark Oakland, and Officer Williams and others imme-
diately sartd off in the steamug Robert c. Smith,
and boarded the bark Sarah Peters, where he found
the other eight men busy unlading her of suga
also. He brought them ashore together with their
bedding and lodged the ten men in Quarantine jail.
They will be examined by Justice Deforest at the
Tompkinsve Hotel, where he will hold Court at
o'clock a. m. Constable Giles refused bail for the
men.
The alleged theft took place at o'clock Sunday
night. A small sail-boat was observed alongside OF
the Oakland which was supposed to have carried OIL
the plumber. The mate Of the Oakland said he had
missed four boxes of Havana sugar, and hundreds OF
pounds had been taken out Of other boxes over $500
worth in all. The thieves had great many bags full OF
sugar slowed away secretly On board Of the Oakland
The Custom.H House barge assisted materially in the
discovery of the robbery. The Oakland was from Ha-
vana and has till within few days been riding out her
Quarantine at the Lower Bay-she being considered in
dangerous state to health but, at the time OF the
depreciation she had come up to old Quarantine, and
was dschareing her cargo on lighters.
The captain much surprised that the stevedores
were the thieves for he had felt himself SAFE he said
from river thieves when the former came on board
They were generally haidlookng customers but bore
their arrest with considerable composure.
