THE GREAT JEWEL ROBBERY
.Arrest Of one Of the Criminals IN the
Duko Of Cambridge Public
House.

From the London Daily News, Nov. %.
William Todd, alias William Hams
ton, who stands charged with being
concerned in the robbery of the
Countess of Aberdeen's jewels, was
yesterday brought up before the mag
istrates at Sevenoaks.
Benjamin Barnett, clothier, OF
Chatham, gave evidence that on Sun
day last, in consequence of commu-
nication from his son at Maidstone, he
went to the latter town and saw the
prisoner in public house. He told
the prisoner that he had come in con-
sequence of hearing that he had some
jewelry to dispose of. Prisoner ap-
peared to be agitated, and tried TO
put witness off, saying that he would
see his witnesses son On the subject.
Witness asked hun if the parties did
not want to get rid of the ''stuff" and
he answered that they swere not in
want of money now, as they had
sold three pounds worth.
Witness afterward saw Superintend-
ent Clifford, and gave information as
to, what prisoner had said. He subse>
quently again saw the prisoner, who
remarked to him that when he called
in the morning he thought he was a
"tec" meaning a detective, but now
he knew who he was. The prisoner
said that these Things must be kept
very quiet and that witness must not
cali on him again, but that he priso-
ner1 would come and see him. Ia re-
ply TO question by witness as to
whether 1t would not be better to
melt il down at once, prisoner said Al
did not want melting, as they were
stones that had been taken out. In
reply to question by the prisoner
who conducted himself in peculiar
manaer in tho dock, witness said that
he did not see him in possession oi
sny jewelry.
| Benjamin Barnett, the son of the
