London Thievttf—their PecnUaritiei and Kodei of Operation-
We lAtelj gare from the London Quarter¬ ly EeTiew for July a condenflfttion of an ar¬ ticle relating to the London police aystem.— •A portion of the eame article detwla the pe- onliarities and modes of operation of the London thieves, a numerons, though not a respectable portion of the population of the graat metropolia. We extract from it some partiouUrs that will instrnct aa well as in¬ terest tbe reader;—
The largest of all the classes of thieves^ and that which employs the most exteusiye range of intellect, of age and of dress, is the pickpocket. From the firstrate thief who 'works' ahout the banks for aix or nine months until he gets a ' good thing,' to the miserable urchin who filches a pocket-hand¬ kerchief, how vast a descent I Although strung together by the common thread of crime, and pursuing, as it were, the same line of business, a duke could not, and cer¬ tainly would not look down upon a street- sweeper with half the hauteur that the lead¬ ing rogues do upon the Kaginled urchin who replenishes with bandanas the stalls of Field- lane. The popular notion of swell-mobsmen is far wide of the truth. It is supposed that they may be at once recognized by a certaiu ultra-foppish manner of dressing, and an excess of jewellery, whereas tbe aim ol a professor of the 'conveying' art is to go about hia occupation unobserved, for to be known to the police is to be di^ppointed of his booty. He bas his clothes built by the most correct tailor, and gels himseU up as much like a gentleman aa possible; the ne¬ cessities of his art, it is true, oblige bim to carry a coat over his arm in all weathers, but so may any veritable man of fashion, wilh¬ ont creating suspicion. Still tbough ho man¬ age to pass free in a crowd, and frequents fashionable atisenibliea without being sus¬ pected by the public, the professed tbief- oalcher is rarely to be deceived by appear¬ ances. Ab tbo hunter marks his quarry by peculiar signs kuowu only lo his craft, so tbe detective can at once ascertain whether the fine gentleman, walking carelessly along is ' wrong' as tbe slang term ia, or a respect" able character.
The principal sign by wbich a thief may be distinguished in any assembly is the wan¬ dering of his eye. Whilst those about him are either listening to a speaker or witness¬ ing a spectacle, his orbits are peering rest¬ lessly, not to say anxiously around. When the thief-taker sees this he knows his man. One of the detective police who attended at the laying of the foundation atone of the Dnke of Wellington's College thua explained to us the capture of a gentlemanly-looking person who was present on that occasion :—
*Ifyouaskme to give my reason why I thonght this person a thie f the moment I saw him, I could not tell you ; I did not even know myself. There was something about him, as abont all swell mobsmen, that im¬ mediately attracted my atteution, and led me to bend my eye upon them. He did not ap¬ pear to notice my watching him, but passed on into the thick of the crowd, hut then he turned and looked towards the spot in which I waa—thia waa enough for me, although I had never aeen him before, and he had not to my knowledge attempted any pocket. immediately' made my way towards him, and tapped him on the shoulder, asked him ab¬ ruptly, " What do you do here f" Without any hesitation, he said in an under tone, " I should not have oome if I had known I should haTe seen any of you.'*    I theii aated. liira. if
he waa working with any companions, and he said, "Nb, npon my word I am alone;" npon this I took him oS to the room which we had provided for the safe keeping of the swell mobsmen.*
The same gathering afforded another ex¬ ample of the cowardice of the swell mob.— Immediately they came upon the ground fourteen df them were netted before they had time to try the lightness of their fingers. They were confined in a  single room with only two policemen to guard them, yet they never attempted to escape, although their apprehension was illegal, but waited patient¬ ly until the crowd had dispersed.    When the doors were throw open they immediately made a rush like so many rats from a trap, and never stopped until they were well out of sight of the police.     The rapidity with which they bolted waa caused  by their de¬ sire to avoid being paraded before the as¬ sembled constables, a measnre which is often taken by the police, in order that they may know their men on another occasion.    If, however, the swell mobsman's eye   is  for ever wandering, in search of hia prey, so aV so is that of the detectiTe, and instances may occur when the one may be mistaken for the other.   Atthe opening of tbe Crystal Palace, a party of detectives distributed amoug the crowd, observed several  foreigners   looking abont them in a manner calculated to rouse their suspicions.     These  individuals  were immediately taken into custody, notwith¬ standing their strong and vehement expos¬ tulations mado in very good French.    When brought before the inspector, it came   out that they  were Belgium  police, sent over at the request of our Govemment to keep a look out on tho iiiauvais sujets of their own nation.
The swell mobsmen proper, generally work together at races in gangs of from three to seven, those  who "cover," as it is termed, making a rush to create pressure, iu  order that the pickpocket may use his hand with¬ ont being noticed.    In taking watches it is generally supposed that the riug is cut by a pair of wire nippers.    This is rarely the case; thieves have uo lime in operating to use any other implement than their own nimble fin¬ gers aud the ring of the watch is wrenched off with the utmost ease, as the purchase upon it is very great.    A police magistrate, of large experience, suggests that the way to baffle the fraternity would be  to make the ring work upon a swivel.   Inferior classes of thieves work in smaller  "schoola," say of a couple of women  and a boy, whose  little hand is capitally  adapted for the work.— Whilst one womau pushes, the lad attempts the pocket of the peraon nearest him, and the third " watches it off," as it is called; if she observes that the youth's attentions have been uotioed, she immediately draws him back with a "Ha Johnny, why do you push the lady sol"   Look to your pockets, good reader, when you see forward little Johnnies about—especially at railway stations.   Such piaoes are the chief resort of this class of pickpockets, and we hear that theatres and churches, just as the people are coming out, are favorite haunts—the women creating a stoppage at the door, and the children taking advantage of it.    Women's pockets ate much easier picked than men's for the reason ibat the opening throngh the dress to it is larger, and It hangs by its weight, free of the per- Bon.   In   a   crowd  the   operation   is   easy enough, as the general pressure masks the movement of the depredator's hand; when the -victim ia walking a more artistic manage¬ ment is required.   The hand is inserted the moment the right leg is thrown forward, be¬ cause the pocket then hangs behind the limb, an essential condition for the thief, aa the slightest motion is otherwise felt npon the leg.   The trowser pockets of a man are never attempted in the streets:   But ina ^      orowdi afl at a race, he can be cleaned out by a Bohool of mobsmen of everything inhis ppSMMlon. with little fear of detection.   The flrrt itep ia to select their victim; to do this diiio^iktdf lome oantlon; and if they cannot
see whether he carrlea a piMBei aiid If they have had no . opportunity of waichfaig him poll it out, thay'.wiU feel all hifi pockets. The "Spatter,"aB he ia called, passea his hand aioroBfl the olothes seetnlngly in the moiat ac¬ cidental manner; sometimes twice when Im is in doubt. The fact Uiat there ia booty being aapertained, the confederates aurround him, and wait for the coming off of a race. Jnst as the horae is at the winning post there ia a mah forward of the crowd; of this the mobs¬ men take advantage, while the -rlctim, per¬ haps, for better secnrity, keeps his hand over hia pocket, but iu vain. At a critical mo¬ ment the man beliind tips his hat over his eyes, instinctively he lifts np hia hand to set it right, and the next moment his pocket is hanging inside ont. Few betting men who attend muoh at raoes have escaped being throughly cleaned ont. It is rarely that Lon¬ doners are robbed In the streeta; they are too busy, and move on too faat. Country people form the chief game of the light fin¬ gered gentry; as they stare about, they in¬ stantly betray themselves to their watchful enemy, aud in the midst of their admiration at every thing about them, fall an eaay prey. The thief in search of purses or handkerchiefs always makes his way trout-like against the stream. They look for a temporary stoppage in tho stream of people, and a horse fallen in the highway, an altercation between a cab¬ man aud his fare, a light, a crowd rouud a picture-shop, are all excellent opportunities, of which they instautly take advantage.
The May-meetings at Eieter-hall, however, form the most splendid harvests for the pick¬ pocket. If the membera of the various reli¬ gious denominations who fiock thither es¬ cape the hustle on the hall stairs, they are waited upou ifith due attention in the om- nibusses.
Omnibusses are generally 'worked' by a mau and a woman; the woman seats herself on the right hand side of the most respect¬ able looking female passenger she oan see, aud tbe man, if possible, takes a place oppo¬ site the individual lo be operated upon. If she be a young person, the man stares her out of countonauce, and whilst confused by his impertinence, the * pal,' by the aid of a cloak thrown over her arm, or if a man, by passing his haud through the pocket of his cloak, made open on the inside for the pur¬ pose, is able to rifie her pockets at leisure. If the victim bo a middle-aged or elderly lady, her attention is engaged in conversation whilst the clearing ont process is going on. The trick doue, the confederates get out at tho first cunvonient opportunity. It is very rarely tbat a pickpocket pursues his avoca¬ tion alone; but a case haa been reported lately in the newspapers wMch proves that a clever artist can work single-handed. A man named William Heury Barber was charged at the Worship atreet court with robbing a lady of her portemonnaie in a Stoke Newingtou omnibus; he was well known to ; the police, but had generally escaped by his adroitness. His manceuvres were thua de¬ scribed by a lady, a resident of Stoke IIow- ington, who had been roUbed by him on a previous occasion:
"She had got into an omnibus," she said, "at Kingsland, several weeks back, to convey her to town, and found herself next to a gen¬ tlemanly looking stout man who was dressed in sober black, with a white neckerchief, and apparently a dissenting minister. The gen¬ tleman gradually encroached upon her, and pressed her, but she thought noUiing of it, aa he was very intent upon reading a news¬ paper the whole way—so intent indeed, that ahe did not see his face, and he did not seem to notice that his newspaper several times partially covered her dress. The atranger shortly after got out, and she did so also in a few minutes, and upon then plAcing her hand in her pocket to make some purchase she fotind that her name bad been atnlon, and with it seven sovereigns and a quantity of silver."
The 'Dissenting Minister' had evidently worked the Stoke Newington road regularly, and no doubt the ' sober Black' and tho white handkerchief was assumed with a perfect knowledge of the * aerioua clasa' of passen¬ gers he was likely to encounter in omnibus- ses running to that suhurd. Robberies of this kind have enormously increaaed of late. The security with which pickpockets can work, withdrawn as they are from the sur¬ veillance of the police is a great incentive to thieves to take to this particular line of bnai¬ ness.
The earnings of what is called a 'school' of hoys who pick pockets in concert, under the eye of a master, mtist be considerable,' f ir we were shown some time since a bill made out by one of those Fagans for the board and lodging of his hopeful youths, from which it appeared that the [regular charge for each was two ginneas a week!— This person was well known some years since on the Surrey side of the water, as Mob Clark. He attended races, dressed in the deepest blaok, with his. young assistants in jackets and turned down collara; and the whole group, to the eye of the general obser¬ ver, presented the sad spectacle of a widow¬ er left with a family of young children to Ument tlio loss of an attached mother.— Their appearance disarmed suspicion, and en¬ abled them to empty the pockets of those aronnd them at their leisure. The subse¬ quent fate of two of the children, though nursed in hypocrisy and vice, provea the old saying, 'onoe a thief, always a thief,* is not invariably correct, for they are, at the pres¬ ent moment, fiourishing cab and omnibus proprietors.
The advantage of working out of sight of the police has lately let aome of the awell mob to go to church prayer-book in hand, and pick pocketa either in the pewa or while the congregation ia coming down the aiale.— Women are the greatest adepts at this kind of thieving, and they are constant attendants at confirmations, plundering iu the sight of the most touching rite of the church. The dress of those females is perfect though, but with them, as most other membera of the swell mob, the finish is entirely on the out- .•iide ; they scarcely ever have any education, and the moment they open their mouths they betray themselves. This fact is of especial service in delecting another large class of thieves—the shoplifters. A ladj cannot go into the shop of auy silkmercer or linen dra¬ per without being struck with the rude man¬ ner in which the shopman clears the counter immediately after the purchaser takes her seat. Tho plundering to which they are sub¬ jected is some excuse for their suspicions for the assistants cannot at first tell who the' customer may be, and if expensive goods were left exposed while their backs were turned serious robberiea would inevitably oc¬ cur.
The extent of pilfering carried on even by ladies df rank and position is very great. there are persons poesessing a mania of this kind so well known among the shopkeeplng commnnity, that their addresses and descrip¬ tions are passed from hand to hand for mu¬ tnal security. The attendants allow them to secrete what they may without seeming to observe them, and afteivrards send a hill with the prices of the goods purloined to their houses.   Jewellers* shops are especially open
to a classof thieving termed *paljni°g-' One of the gang goes in first, and engages the at¬ tention of the assistant, when another drops inand makes inqnlrieH for some article which ia on the other side ofthe shop; then per¬ haps a third, withont recogmihig his com¬ panions, follows and asks for som»thing say¬ ing he ia in a hurry, as he has to be off by a certain train, and at the same time puUa out hifl watoh to show his eagerness to ho served. The shopkeeper's attention ia thus diverted from the confederates, who rob the trays before them of their valuable oontenti. iome of these fellows are bo dexterooi that
if they perceive any person watching them they can'palm'baok the goods they have secreted, and, oii being acoused, put on an appearance of injured Innocence which makes the tradesman belieTe that his own eyes mnst have deceived him. The higher order of thieves will iometlme ' ring the changes,* as it :ifl called. Thia must be ranked among the fine artsof swindling. They will ball ori flrat rate houst;:i and request to be shown valnable -pieces of jewellery, snch as dia. monda, necklases, and bracelets, which are kept in csiaes. Having noted the case, thoy go away, promising to call with '.a lady.' A oase exaotly similar is then made, with which they oall a second time, and.ask to'.see the identical bracelet they- before admired, and substituting thd empty ease for that con¬ taining the jewels, depart with an apparent inability to decide upon the purchaae.— Many robberies to a -heavy amount have ta¬ ken plaoe in this mauner. Jewellers are li¬ able to be attacked from withont aa well ag from within. From the narration oommuni- cated by a prisoner to. Captain Cheaterton, when Govemor of Coldbatb-fielda Prison, we extract the following method of proce¬ dure in what Is termed 'atarririg the glaze:— " One or twP parties divert attention while another" stars." Thfa Is either done by a diamond, or by Inaerting a small penknife through tha putty, near the comer of a pain and cracking it; the wet flnger carries the crack fn any direction; au angle is generally formed. The plate is wrought to and through and then removed; if necessary another piece ia " starred" to allow of the free ingress of tho hand. In a retired neighborhood an oppertnnity is taken of tying the door, in or- der to prerent any one coming out, and on pasaing ofa heavy carriage the hand ia driv¬ en through a square of glass, upou whioh has been laid i piece of strong paper, coated with treacle, to prevent noisefrom the glass' fall¬ ing, and .then articles of value are removed. This ia temed spanking the glaze. At other times the parties intending to star go a uight or two before and break one of the lower squares of glass* a watch ia then put upou the shop to know wheu the square is renewed, which, of eonrae, the putty being soft, oan be removed at pleasure; apiece of leather, upon which is spread some pitch, being applied to the square to prevent ita falling when push¬ ed in, much time is saved thia way."
We often hear of the march of intellect in thieving, ind the height to whioh its profes¬ sors have carried it in theae latter days.— There could be no greater delusion ; all the tricks of card-sharpers, ring-droppers, purse- cutters, kc, are centuries old, and it does not, appear that they arc performed a bit more adroitly now than in the daya of Eliza¬ beth. Mr. Charles Knight, iu his charming paper on Loudon Rogueries, gives examples of the tricks of the Shakespearian era, which provea, as he observes, that pickpocketing in all Us forms was taught as cleverly in the days of the Tudora as by Fagin and his boya in'Oliver Twist.* His account of a achool of thieves discovered in 1585, is an iostauce: " Among the rest they found one  Wolton,
to his pals in town, and ia dne oonne was supplied with filae keys. With these he opened the strong box, made exact notes of tho value and nature of its coptents, and replaced everything aa he found it: A plan of the street, the honse, add of the particu¬ lar chamber in which the treasure was kept, was then prepared and forwarded to the con¬ federates in London. He persuaded hia kind friend the banker to hold a love-feast ou the evening fixed for the final stroke. A few minutes before the time appointed for the robbery, he proposed that the whole assembly should join with him in raising their voices to tbe glory of the Lord. The cracksman labored hard and long to keep up the hymu, and noise enough was made to cover the de¬ signs of less adroit confederates than his own. The psendo preacher, to disarm sus¬ picion, remained with his friend a fortnight after the theft, and on his departure, all the women of the "persuasion" wept that so good a man should go away from among them I
In a large nnmber of cases the servants aro only the unconscioua Inatrnments in the hands of the. house-breaker. We. will ven¬ ture to say that more honse robberiea are oommitted through the vanity of aervant girls than from any other canse, A smart young fellow, having heard that plunder is to be obtained in a certain honse, manages to pick up an acquaintance with one of the female domestics, aud makes violent love to her. We all know how communicative young women are to their sweethearts, and the consequence is that in a short time he gets from her every particular that he requires, the habits of the family, the timea of their going out, the position of the plate-chest, and the fastenings of th- doora. Where on¬ ly a servant-of-all-work j kept, the process is more almple. The lover calls inthe ab¬ sence of the family at church, proposes a walk, aud takes cbarge of the street-door key which, unseen to the girl, is passed to a confederate ; and whilst the polite lover and his lass are enjoying thp cool of the eveningi the house is being ransacked. Au investi¬ gation took place at the Lambeth Police Court a few montbs ago, where the poor girlr wbo had been made the tool of the house¬ breaker, attempted to commit suicide in or¬ der to escape the consequences of her foUy. Her account of the manner in which the " plant" was made upon her, affords a good example of the style of "putting up" a house robbery:
"The young mau with whom she had cas¬ ually become acquainted called after the fam¬ ily had gone out, and she asked him into the back parlor. He then asked her to dress and go out with him, aud he remained iu the back parlor while she dressed. While in the back parlor he asked her if she could get a glass of wine, and she told him she could not, as the wine was locked up. He said it did not matter, aa they should have oue when they went out, and that he ex¬ pected to meet his sister at the Elephant and Castle. They then left the hou.io and went for a walk, and on  reaching tho Elephant
a gentleman bom, and sometimes a merchant   and   Castle remained therefor   sometime
I^
of good credit, but fallen by time into decay. This mui kept an ale houae at Smart's Key, near Billingsgate, and after, for some misde¬ meanor, put dowu, ho reared up a new trade of life; and in the same honse he procured all the cut-pursea in the city to repair to his house. There was a achool honse set up to leam youug boys to cut purses. Two devi¬ ses were hung up—one was a pocket and another was a purse. The pocket had in it certain counters, and was hung about wilh hawk's bells, aud over the lop did hang a little scaring bell; the purse had silver in it, and he that could take out a counter with¬ ont any noise was allowed to be a public Fojster; and he that conld take a pieoe of silver out of the purse without noise of auy of tba bells, was adjudged a judicial nyper, according to their terms of art."
The tricks we have enumerated all require cunning, lightness   of  hand, and   address, rather than strength and courage.   Aa the swell mobsman stands at the head of this' school, so the cracksman or house-breaker stands ou the highest pinnacle of the other great division of crime which attains ils ends by force and courage.    The released convict re-enters the community with the  enlarged experience of the hulks ; and with a brutal disregard of danger.   Suddenly thrown up¬ on his resources, with a blasted character, aociety leavea him no better means of liveli¬ hood thau his old course of crime.   One fel¬ low who waa brought np to Bow atreet had committed no less than fonr burglaries with¬ in three weeks after he had been liberated 1 Bands of ruffians, with crape maske and with deadly arms, stand by the  bed at dead of night, aud, after robbing aud terrifying their victims, leave them  gagged and bound in a mauner that wonld disgrace banditti.    It is true these burglaries are confined to lonely houses situated in the couutry; but house¬ breaking haa been on the increase  of late eveu in the metropolis.   Some of the crafts¬ men have become so expert that no system of bolts or bars is capable of keeping them out.   It may be as  well to state, however, that a sheet of iron, on the inaide of a paneel, will often foil the most expert burglars; and all operators of this class  who have opened their minds upon the aubject to the prison authorities, admit that it is totally impossi¬ ble, withont alariningjthe inmates, to force a window that is lightly barred  with a thin irou bar and supplied with a bell.    A abut¬ ter thus protected, and whioh givea a little with pressure, will not allow the centrebit to work without creating a motion which is sure to ring the alarum.
Most burglaries of any importance, espec¬ ially those in whioh mnoh plate is stolen, are what is termed 'Cput up"—that is, the thieves are iu correspondence   with servants in the houso, or with those that have been discard' ed.    Many robberies, that appear to have been accomplished in a most wonderfnl man¬ ner from withoat, are committed from with¬ in,     fn "pnt in" robberies, however,  the thieves seldom allow the confederate in the houae to know when the robbery is  to come off, for fear of what is termed a " double plant," tliat ia, lest the person who originally " put np" the robbery should, from the stings of conscience, or for other reasons, have of¬ ficers in waiting to apprehend them.   It  is quite sufficient for adroit burglars to know where the valuables are kept, and the gene¬ ral arrangements  of the house.   The most ingenious pilfering of the  " put up"  kind we ever heard of occurred many years  ago in a large town in Hampshire.   A gang of first-rate cracksmen having heard that a cer¬ tain banker in a country town was  in the habit of keeping large sums of money iu the strong-box of the banking-house in whioh he himself dwelt, determined to carry it off* For this pnrpose the most astute and respect¬ able-looking middle-aged man of the gang waa dispatched to  the town, to reconnoitre the premises and get an inftight Into the eharacter of their victim.   The hanker, he ascertained, belonged to the sect of Primi- itfve Methodists,  and held what is termed " love-feaata."   The  cracksman accordingly got himself up as a preacher, atndied the peculiar method of holding forth in with the aect, wore a white neckhandkerchief, assum¬ ed the nasal whine, and laid in a powerful stock of Scripture phrases.   Thns anned, he took occaaion to hold forth, and that so "mov¬ ingly" that the rumor of hia " diaoonraea" soon came to the ears of the banker, and he was admitted as a guest.   His foot once in¬ side the doors, he rapidly "improved the oocasiou" in his own peculiar manner.   The intimacy grew, and he was speedily on auch terms of friendship with every one in the house that he came and wen t without no¬ tice.   He acquainted himself witb the posl- tion of the atrong box, and took impreaslona , In wax of the ]o6ia^   These he  ae&t up
waiting for the young man'a sister, but did not see her. They next proceeded to a pub¬ lic-house, where they had a glaaa of brandy and water, and the yonng man accompanied ber to the end of the atreet, where they parted, with the intention that they ahould meet at one o'clock on the following day aud spend the aflernoon together. On go¬ ing to unlock the door, ahe found it ajari and on going iu found that the house had been robbed. On discovering tbis she did nol kuow wbat to do, but thought she would make up a story about thieves having got iuto the house, and took up a knife and chop¬ ped her hand ; but after this uot knowiuR how to faoe her master or mistress after be¬ ing so wicked, sho took np the knife again, intending to kill herself, and inflicted the wound on her throat."
This confession was enough for the of¬ ficers, and her " youug man," with his con¬ federates, were caught and convicted, Th^ frequency of these robberiea should put housekeepers on their guard aa to what fol¬ lowers are allowed, leat the " yaung man" should turn out to be a regular cracksman iu disguise. We bid the honaeheeper alao beware of another danger that sometimes threatens him, when he has an empty house for a neighbor. Thieves always, if possible, make use of it as a basis of operations against the others. They creep towards the dusk of the eveuing, when the inmatea are genorally down stairs, along the parapet and enter successively the bed-rooms ofthe ad¬ joining tenements. As many as half-a-dozen houae have thus beeu robbed on the same occasion. Police constables always keep a careful watch upon these untenanted houses, ¦ by placing private marks on some part of the premisea ; and if any of these signs are disturbed, they suspect that something ia wrong, and make a further examination. In the City, where an immenae amount of val¬ nable property is stored in warehouses, the private marks are much more used than In other portions of the metropolis, and are continually changed, lest they should become known to thieves and be turned to their ad¬ vantage.
Professional heggai-s are almost without exception, thieves, but as they are gener¬ ally recruited from the lowest portion of the population, they never attain any of the higher ranks, but confine themaelves to petty aots of filching, or to cunning methods of circumventing the honeat. The half- naked wretch that appears to be addressing the basement floor in piteous terms, has a fine eye for the spoons he may aee clean¬ ing below, andthe ship-wrecked sailor just cast ashore from St. Giles', would be an awk¬ ward peraon to meet with in a dark sub¬ urban lane. Professional beggars are migra¬ tory iu their habits. They travel from town lo town, not in the fllthy rags we are ac¬ customed to'see them in, but in good cloth¬ ing, the rags are carried by their women, and are only donned when they are nearing the place in which they Intend to beg.
There ia an audaoioua olass of thieves, termed "dragsmen, who plunder vehicles. At the Weat End they chiefly operate upon caba going to or coming from the lailway stations. Ab this kind of thieving is carried on nnder the very eyes of the foot passen¬ gers, it ia rarely attempted except Iu the dusk of the evening. The dragsman man¬ iles to hang on behind as thongh he were merely taking a surreptitious ride, bnt in reality to cut leather thongs aud fastenings, aud be able at any convenient moment to Blip off a box or parcel unobserved. The carelessness of the public is the best confeder¬ ate of this sort of thief. In the caae of Lady BUesmere's jewels tbo box was not put in¬ side, but outside the oab in whioh the valet rode, and,not in the middle of other boxes, but hindermost of all—jnst the place in which the dragman would have planted it. It is not known that the robbery was effected between Berkeley square and Grosvenor square; as a man was seen with the package Btandlngat the comer ofMount street, Davies Btreet, bargaining with a cabman to take him to the city. Tho man and booty were driven to a publio house, but the box mnst have been shiftedimmediately,foriu two honrs from the time it was lost it waa found rifled of its contents in a waste piece of gronnd iu Shore- ditch. It might perhaps for a moment he auspeoted that this was a 'put up' robbery but we are precluded from adopting thia view of the caae, as it is, we believe, suspected that the man aold the jewels, whioh were worth pemapa £25,000 for a very trifling sum. He muat have been entirely ignorant of their value, and having by a chance stroke ob¬ tained a magnificent booty, threw it away for an old Bongi
Not many weeks after thia extraordinary robbery, a pUte ahest of her Uajeaty wu
atolen from a van between Buckingham Pal¬ ace and the Great Weatern Railway. There were persona walking alon^rtide the vehicle, and tt seems marvt'ljous how it <-nnld be poa¬ aible to remove unseen a hfiavy cheat under BUch oouditiona ; Imt every facility was given fn this case, as in tho for^r, for the plun¬ derers to do their work unnblested. In the first place the box was pnt in such a position that its bottom camp flush fith tho ledge of the van. (f
Next the journey froii Buckingham Palace to Paddington waa in the driver's idea too far to go without baiting on the way, therefore bait ho did at a h'ttle public- house, and every peraon in chaise of the property went inside to drink. According to their own aooount they did not atop more than a minute ; this minute waa enongh— likeLaertes, the thief mighthave said, "twill serve.' In thia iustance alio, the box was fouud empty in a field at Shoredltch, and it is believed that a tloket-oMeavo man had a hand in both robberiea.
The habits of thieves have been aomewhat modified  since  the inatitution of the new police, and the adoption of the principle ef prevention inatead of deteotlon, in dealing with the criminal popnlation.   In the time of tho old Bow-street Runners the differeut classes of thieves had their houses of calh in which they regulariy assembled, ./nie ar¬ rangement was winked af by the niagiatrates, aud approved by the officers, as nseful to them   iu looking   after offendera that were wanted.   John Townsend, wheir< peaking of the auppoaed advantage of these flash-houses said, " I know flve-and-twenty, or alx-and- twenty years ago, there were houses where we conld pop In, and I have taken throe or fonr, or flvo or six of thei& at a time, snd three or four of them have been convloted, and yet the publio house was tolerably well conducted too."   perhaps ofloera who lived upon the capture of thieves, had good reason for maintaining these flash-hposes, In which most robberies were concocted; the case is different now that the police are paid by the day rather than piece-work, by weekly sala¬ ry rather  than   by  blood-money,  and all known fiaah-honses have long beeu discon- tinned.   Some flfteen years since a few still remained in the Borough, but Superintend- ent Hayes broke them up, and rooted them ont.   Thievea cannot meet now iu respecta¬ ble houses, for if they did,  the constables would become aware of the  fact, and the landlord would speedily lose his license.   It may be asked, what sort of mutual  fellow- ahip exists among these outcaata  who live below the aurfaco of * aociety ?'   Of the aeven or eight thousaud thieves in the metropolis very few are acquainted with  each other ; they are in fact divided into as many sec¬ tions aa are to be found among honest men. Beyoud their own peculiar set they do not associate with theie kind.   The swell mobs¬ man is as distinct a being from the cracks¬ man as a Bond street dandy from a South- sea Islander; they do not even talk the aame slang, and could no more practice each other's art, than a  shoemaker could make a tablo. These natural divisions of the under-ground world   of rogues immensely  facilitate   tbe operations of the   police.   The manuer in whioh   they do their work is also in some cases a pretty good guide to the detectives. Skill and individuality ia  evinced in unlaw¬ ful  as   well  as in lawful pnrsuits—in the mauner in which a door is forced, as  much as iu the style a picture is painted; and a clever  officer,   after  carefully examiniug a door or window, will sometimes say, this looks like   ' Whiteheaded   Bob's   work,* or ' Billy-go fast' must have had a hand in this job.
Tho leading swell mobsmen are the ouly olass of thieves who ' tonch,* if we may so term It, the ordinary society of better men* The practioner iu thia line mnst dresa and be as much like a gentlem^'as possible, in order to pursue hia ayooation withont suspi¬ cion. Accordingly, he lives with a women, who passes for his wife, in genteel lodgings, and generally in the drawing-room floor.— As hia earnings are often very large, he haa everything about him of the most expensive kind ; hia style of living is luxurious, and ho drinks nothing leas than hock and oham- pagne. He sometimes keeps a banking ac¬ couut, and one man named Brown, lately apprehended, had a balance at his banker's of £800. As the members of this fraternity work wholly in the daytime, going out in the moming aud returning in the evening, the landlady believes that they are engaged in mercantile pnrsuits, and have business in the city ; and as it is part of their game to pay their way liberally, she esteems them to be model lodgers 1
The domestio habits of thieves are all pretty mnch alike; fluotnatlng between the priaon aud the hulka, they exhibit the uaual char- acterialica of men engaged in dangerona en¬ terprises. They mainly pass their time when uot at 'work* in gambling, smoking and drink¬ ing, and in listening to the adventures of their companions. It mnat be remembered, how¬ ever, that the profeased thief, even if he drinks, is never drunks he is employed in desperate undertakings, whioh require him to have his wits about him quite as muoh, if not more, than the honest man. When a pickpocket is flush of money, he apenda it in the moat lavish manner—takes a tonr with his female companion to the Isle of Wight, or to any other place he has a wish to see, and puts up at the best],hotels. In aome .of these trips he thinks nothing of spending £30 in a fortnight, and when the money is gone he comes baok again "to work." .Thieves are generally faithful to each other; Indeed the community of danger in which they live developes this virtue to au unusal exient. If a " pal" is apprehend¬ ed, they cheerfully put down their giana a- piece to provide him with couuael for hifl trial, and if he should be imprisoned they make a collection for him when ho comes out. A curious circumst&noe is the rapidity with whioh news of any ofthe body having been arrested travels among hia oompanlons. We are assured that no aooner is a yonng thief captured and taken to the station house, al¬ though he may have been plundering far away from his home, than some associate brings him his dinner or lea as a matter of course.
The best class of swell mobamen sometimes act upon the joint stock principle 'with limi¬ ted liabilitiea.* When agood thing is inproa- pect—a gold-dnat robbery or a bank robbery; it is not unusual for several of them to 'post' as much as £50 a-pieco in order to provide the sinews of war to carry on the plan In a businessB-like manner. If in the ond the job succeeds, the mouey advanced is carefully paid back to the persona advancing it—eeve¬ ral of whom have lived for years on plunder thua obtained without the police being able to detect them. Often the receivers make these adventures In crime, and plot the rob¬ bery of a jeweller's shop with as much cool¬ ness and shrewdness as thongh it were an ordinary mercantile speoulatlon, and the pro¬ dnce is disposed of In the same bnslneas-like manner. Watches are what is termed ' re- ohriatened;' that ia, the maker's names and numbers are takou out and fresh ones put in; they are then exported in large quan¬ tities to America. All articles of plate are immediately thrown into the crucible and melted down, ao as to place them beyond the hope of Identlfioation, In many cases when the receiver cannot thoronghly depend npon the thief, it is, we believe, ouatomary to employ intermediate receivers, so as to ren¬ der it imposaible to trace the property to ita ultimate deatination. It must not bo aup¬ poaed that the paasion for gain is alwaya the sole inoentive to robbery. 'Oh how I do love thieving I If I had thonaands, I'd still be a thief;" suoh were the words uttered hy a youth In Coldbathflelds PriBon, and over- heaid by the Governor.
Reodlarly Sold Oct.—^During the month of January, 1850, while stopping at the Sut¬ ter House, in Sacramento City, Califomia, I accidentally overheard a conversation be¬ tween two gentlemen, one of whom was from New York oity, and had been in the conntry nearly a year, aud the otber had just arrived.
The uew comer was lamenting his oondition and his folly iu leaviug an abundance at home and especially two beautiful daughters, whr were just budding- iuto womanhood—whea he asked the New Yorker if he had a family
" Yea, sir; I have a wife and six ohildren in New York—aud I never saw one of them."
