POLICE ITEMs.-Oficer Barbour yesterday
arrested the mate of schr. Alpha of HarWich,
for the larceny of the forsail OF the vessel,
which he sold. His story is that the captain
absconded with the whole proceeds of the trip,
about $500, leaving the crew unpaid. The men
needed money to get home, and the mate took
some of the vsssers property to satisfy the
claim. The matter will probably be adjusted
by the owners.
Officers Merrill and Durgin heard a row in a
house on Washington street last night and
were on the point of going in when they saw
Matthew Sweeney clnched in with Henry
Huse on the landing of an outside flight OF
stairs. In a moment Henry was pitched over
the rail to the ground, distance of about ten
feet. Both parties were arrested, and said st
was all right" Huse said he was subject to
fits, and fell over himslf, but the story is not
believed.
Deputy Decelle arrested yesterday afternoon
George l.. Hammond, clerk in the wholesale
fancy goods store Of Shepherd & Co., on
Middle street, tor the larceny of quantity of
silk. 1t appears that under the name of Geo.
G. Oliver he opened correspondence with
Seavey Foster & Bowman of Boston, and
sent them package of sewing silk, asking
them to take it and allow what it was worth,
and offering to sell them more, as he was "A
large draIor II. The boston firm, not know
ing Oliver wrote to Shepherd & Co, their
agents here, for information, and this led to
the arrest of Hammond, at Swetrs express Of
flee, where he had gone to receive a package
from his Boston CORES pondents. Hammond
came from a town in the country about year
ago and went Into Shepherds store as a clerk.
He belongs to a very respectable family.
