On the 5th instant complaint was made at
the Detective Bureau of the Metropolitan Po-
lice by MIR. John Curry, that his house, on l.
street south, between - and 9th streets west
had been entered by thieves and robbed OF a
considerable number of English sovereigns,
amounting in all to over $780, They were
taken from trunk, and no clue to the robber
was obtained until yesterday, when a man
was arrested in Baltimore having in his pos
session sovereign. He was at once arrested
and brought on to this city, when he stated
that the money was in trunk IN the house of
Chris. V. logan, special detective of the Treas
ury Department. A search warrant was at
once procured, and last night Officer Frazier,
OF the Fourth Ward, accompanied by a Balti.
more detective, proceeded to the residence of
Hogan and instituted q search, which result
ed in the finding of 125 half and 80 whole SOW
ereigns i'll trunk in the house.
When the discovery was made Mr.. Hogan
said he had heard OF the robbery, and asked
that the money be left with him and that he
would give receipt for it. Officer Frazier,
however, concluded that the money itself
would be the best receipt, and therefore held
on to it, and it is now in possession of Sergeant
Cronin, OF the Fourth ward. Mr.. Hogan SAYS
that the trunk In which the money was found
does not belong to him, but to his servant "a
white woman,) and she has consequently been
arrested. No other arrest has yet been made.
