Arrest of Jewellery Robbers.

On December 27 jewellery to the value of £V.0,000, belonging to his wife, was stolen from the residence of Mr T. J. Burden, New York. A reward of £1000 was offered for the recovery of the property and the apprehension of the prisoners, and this money will probably be distributed among the London police who effected the arrests. The officers include Chief Inspector Swanson, Inspectors Forest and Hare, and Sergeants Shaddock and Allen. The men arrested in London, Dunlop and Turner, were at the time of the robbery in Mr Burden's employ as valet and footman. They were arrested in Bond street, and a largo quantity of the stolen property was found upon them. Other jewellery was discovered in large quantities at their lodging, and it is stated that tho whole of the missing articles have been recovered. The men appeared to have been in London for some time, and a visit they paid to Mr Streeter, jeweller, Bond street, was the immediate cause of their capture. On their first visit to the shop they offered a few of the stones for sale, but the experts bahind tho counter with whom they endeavoured to strike a bargain saw at once that the men had no knowledge of tho value of the jewels. Their suspicions were aroused, and, having elicited the fact that other valuable property was in the possession of the prisoners, Turner and his confederate were induced to make a further appointment,, when they were to take with them some of the other articles. An appointment for the following day was made, and the couple went away. The authorities at Scotland Yard were communicated with, and, although there was no description to hand of the men from New York, it occurred to the detectives that they might be the thieves who were wanted for the theft at Mr. Burden's. Several officers awaited the arrival of the prisoners at Mr Streeter's establishment. The men kept their appointment with strict punctuality. They were pointed out by the assistants to tho detectives, who watched their movements. Turner and Dunlop had brought with them a number of other articles of jewellery with a view to sale. Of this fact the officers were duly apprised. Tho men on leaving the shop without having disposed of any of the precious stones, were followed a short distance by the detectives. Then they were suddenly confronted by Inspector Forest who "exclaimed : "We are police officers. Wo believe you are in possession of stolen diamonds." The men, taken by surprise, quietly surrendered without any attempt at resistance.
