At eleven o'clock he went to bed, and put the cash-box under his pillow.
When he and his wife woke the next morning the box was gone.

Payment of the notes was immediately stopped at the Bank of England, but no news of the money has been heard of since that time.
So far the circumstances of the case are perfectly clear.

They point unmistakably to the conclusion that the robbery must have been committed by some person living in the house.

Suspicion falls, therefore, upon the servant-of-all-work, upon the shopman, and upon Mr.Jay.The two first knew that the cash-box was being inquired for by their master, but did not know what it was he wanted to put into it.

They would assume, of course, that it was money.
