HEAVY ROBBERY OF FURNITURE, PICTURES, AND
OTHER PPoPERTY.-Some months ago Mr. Egber L..
Ve,le rented his house, No. q Amiy street, to MIR.
James Boyd and family, consisting of his wife Sarah
jane at the same time reservi0g one OF the rooms IN
which to k. ep his household goods, clothing &c. On
or about the 9th inst several oil paintings forty yards
Of Bruss els carpet sixty yards of matnet and quan
tity of gas fixtures, in all valued at about 0OO, were
stolen On the occasion of the robbery, it is alleged
that cry of burglars was raised by design, so tust
suspic IN might not fasen upon the true parties who
carried of Mr.. Veries furniture. Charles King,
yourg man, con of Mrs. Boyd by former husband,
was seen by Mr.. Hammond at the door OF the house
with bcrse ard wagon, in the act OF carrying away
the furniture Upon the above and other facts
elected suspicion fell upon Boyd and his wife, Charles
King. her SOD, and one dutch Lew alias Charles
Lewis. and Mr.. veile forthwith preferred charges
against them, and they were on warrant Issued by
Justice Osbon arrested by Officer Lsta of the Lower
Police Court, assisted by Officer Wilson and Others of
the Fifteenth Precinct portion Of the stolen prop
erty was found at picture store under the Lafarge
House, Broadway, kept by Mr. John Levison. Sab
sequent inquiry revealed the fact that said property
hao been taken to Levsons store by person repre-
sertipg himself as Charles Wall who corresponded
exactly with the prisoner King. The accused parties
were locked up for examination. Although Mr.. and
Mrs. Boyd are complained of principals there seems
to be a general impression that they are iep9ot of
sry participation in. the rybSeSw.0G Ind Dutch
Lew are doubtless the pa. oJected and CON-
nitted the robbery. DlIoA Lew is convict and ia.
