The
affair
which
formed
its
subject
,
and
which
was
town
talk
,
had
occurred
three
days
before
at
the
Bank
of
England
.
A
package
of
banknotes
,
to
the
value
of
fifty-five
thousand
pounds
,
had
been
taken
from
the
principal
cashier's
table
,
that
functionary
being
at
the
moment
engaged
in
registering
the
receipt
of
three
shillings
and
sixpence
.
Of
course
,
he
could
not
have
his
eyes
everywhere
.

Let
it
be
observed
that
the
Bank
of
England
reposes
a
touching
confidence
in
the
honesty
of
the
public
.
There
are
neither
guards
nor
gratings
to
protect
its
treasures
;
gold
,
silver
,
banknotes
are
freely
exposed
,
at
the
mercy
of
the
first
comer
.
A
keen
observer
of
English
customs
relates
that
,
being
in
one
of
the
rooms
of
the
Bank
one
day
,
he
had
the
curiosity
to
examine
a
gold
ingot
weighing
some
seven
or
eight
pounds
.
He
took
it
up
,
scrutinised
it
,
passed
it
to
his
neighbour
,
he
to
the
next
man
,
and
so
on
until
the
ingot
,
going
from
hand
to
hand
,
was
transferred
to
the
end
of
a
dark
entry
;
nor
did
it
return
to
its
place
for
half
an
hour
.
Meanwhile
,
the
cashier
had
not
so
much
as
raised
his
head
.
But
in
the
present
instance
things
had
not
gone
so
smoothly
.
The
package
of
notes
not
being
found
when
five
o'clock
sounded
from
the
ponderous
clock
in
the
‘
drawing
office
,'
the
amount
was
passed
to
the
account
of
profit
and
loss
.

As
soon
as
the
robbery
was
discovered
,
picked
detectives
hastened
off
to
Liverpool
,
Glasgow
,
Havre
,
Suez
,
Brindisi
,
New
York
,
and
other
ports
,
inspired
by
the
proffered
reward
of
two
thousand
pounds
,
and
five
per
cent
.
on
the
sum
that
might
be
recovered
.
Detectives
were
also
charged
with
narrowly
watching
those
who
arrived
at
or
left
London
by
rail
,
and
a
judicial
examination
was
at
once
entered
upon
.
