Rovprky or Suear.—On Monday night one of the police officers of the Tenth Precinct | and Seventh Ward, noticed two colored men named Samuel, Waiker and Thomas Hines, driving a wagon,in which was what proved tobeabarrel of sugar. By some means the barrel broke open and some of the sugar was seattered abont the wagon, when Walker went | to the rear of the wagon and commenced to Pick the scattered sugar up. The officer see- jug that they had stopped. went up to Hines, the driver, and commenced to interrogate him concerning his missiov, when tines replied that they were in the employ of Messrs. Beavans & Shaw, feed and grocery dealers, on B, between 11th And 12th streets. and were delivering the sugar for that firm toac r; he them went on to abuce the firm for requiring them to work so late at night, and while he was talking with the officer, Walker took leg bail, and has noi been heard of since. Himes was arrested and taken before Juctice Tucker, where he stated he had nothing to do with the theft of the sugar, and was only hired by Walker to transport tt with bis wagon. The .Justice committed him to jail for court as an accessory to tHe robbery. Hines was in the employ of Messrs. Beavans & Shaw, and it ap- pears from the statement of a private watch- man, in the employ of Mr. Harvey that Hines rebbed a berrel from the above mentioned firm. through the back door into the yard on Mon- day morning, which is thought to be the above mentioned barrel of sugar, which was taken away at night. It also appears that these par- tie offered man named Adai mn, on the Island, some sugar at $12 per b:rrel, the reg- ular cost being more than $40, a weak or more ago, which farther estzbliches their guilt and shows a3 the owners of the stere think, that they have been pilfering from him for sometime. Thos. Hines used to be employed by Messrs. Beavans and Shaw, but of late has been carrying on a small feed s:oreot hisown.
