A NEST OF THIEVES.
Barbados agricultural reporter, 1871 Oet)

(BLF6dd0S agricultural hep rtef, 1871 Oct.)
The police have run across a veritabIe nest
of youthful thieves. The facts as, they have
reached us are these A BOY named James
Codrington, of about ten years Of age, was, d
day or two agO, arrested and charged by Ser
geant Herbert, in the Junior Police Magis-
trate's court y%esterd ", with wandering about
without any visible means Of support. Ths
lad stated that le formed one of a gang Of
fifteen others, the chief Of which was q young
man named Jimmy Allen. They did odd Jobs
during the day, such IS holding horses heads,
and AZ nights tn ev en9a5 / in predatory raids
on defeclively secured shops. When not out
burElariously intent, they locate tn ~mselves
under that portion Of the Swing Bridge where
the mechanism of the sttucta are is situated tho
spot being enclosed, 'hoQred, and thoroughly
private. Here they found a comfortable
sleeping apartment free from Intrusion by the
police or any one. Colrington also stated
that his gang was concerned in both Mr..
Bears and The Hunt Street rohberies. and his
disclosures are likely to aid the detectives
considerably in their efforts to discover and
repress crIme in the City. Thinking that,
perhaps, these young thieves had booty hidden
away in their sleeping quarters under the
bridge, Sergeant Majjr Davis visited the spot
yesterday morning and after some difficulty
succeeded In gaining entrance therein. He
found that the lads had ripped up portions
of the flooring in order to gain ingress from
below and OF course had made away with the
boards; but. nothing in the shape Of loot was
discovered.
We learn also, on good authority. thst there
are existent in the city two other gangs of,
youthful thieves whose rendezvous is in the
vicinity. of Hardwood Alley and MIR. Boxill's
lumber yard. Sooner or later they are sure
to fall into the hands. of the police; but in the
meantime it is a terrible menace to law and
order to have these bands of juvenile burglars
and hoolluns III our midst.

A BOTANISl'S VISIT TO THE WEST
INDIESo
Jamaica Cleaner, 1St Oct.(

We have received the report If Mr.. w.
Crowther, Curator of the Botanic Station in
the Gold Coast Colony, OH his recent visit TO
She West Indies. In the early part of last
year the Governor Of Cape Colony proposed
to the Secretary Of State for the Colonies
that Mr.. Crowther should proceed to the
West Indies to visit for a fortnight each the
botanical stations at Barbados, Trinidad, and
Jamaica for the purpose of enlarging his
knowledge of the cultivation Of valuable
tropical plants, of observing the system and
arrangements pursued there and of procuring
and bringing back with him such plants as
he might consider it would be advantageous
for the colony sto cultivate. The Colonial
Office fell in with the idea and Mr.. Crowther
received his credentials aud introduction to
the various Governors and subordinate Off
Gals. He left England in.Octoser and spent
nineteen days at jamaica, six days at Bar
bados. nine days at Demerara, and nine days
at Trinidad besides making additional visits
to St. Vincent and Grenada. In each of the
Islands and at Demerara he familiarised
himself with the methods Of the botanical
establishments and also studied the mode of
cultivation and system of curing and manu-
featuring of the produce on numerous pri-
vate estates. He also devoted much atteR-
ton to the examination of the buildings and
machinery used in the preparation of the
various products for expectation. In Jamai-
ca lie specifically studied the cultivation and
preparation of coffee in Barbados and
Demerara the growing and manufacture of
sugar in Trinidad and Grenada he made
himself acquainted with cacao and spices;
and in St. Vincenshe obsel we'd the cultivation
and manufacture of arrowroot. Besides the
speciality for which each plSce is noted he
had the opportunity at the Botanic Gardens
of becoming acquainted with the best methods
of cultivating aud ~propagating the various
kinds Of tropical fruits and plants. A prac-
teal survey of this nature could not fail to
supply Mr.. Crowther with valuable hints as
to suitable products for Introduction into the
Gold coast Colony and the proper means of
extending the industries already established
there. Before expressing an opinion on this
subject, however, he details the circumstances
of his visit to each colony. Our readers may

into prominence as clever writer whose
style is all his own.

fellow, and makes friends and money
wherever he goes, although his dare

him constant source of worry to his
relatives and friends, OF which he has
many substantial ones in Sacramento and
