inx stolen, money aud all. The safne thief, or
some other one, has acaia been trying his hand
. the iame game. On Sunday night last the
money drawer of Mr.. Lipsett, at the Orleans
Hotel, was stolen and spirited away during the
temporary absence of the Landlord. Mr.. Lip
selt had gone out " few moments, but had
taken the precauton TO remove all the money
but about dollar in change, and. when he re-
turned the drawer and contents-a knife, some
papers, and the keys to his ircproof storc.rooms,
elc.--were gone. On Monday the thief was
Iound arrested and tried before Judge Poland,
convicted and fised fifty dollars. The thief
~ was suspected, proved to be a Chinaman.
The Chinaman paid the fine, but refused to pIo-
duce the property or acknowledge the theft.
This thief was convicted upon the testimony of
