John Shea and Joseph Donnolly, servants at the General Hospital and John Davenport, watchman at the General Hospital, charged with a robbery at the hospital. The overseer of the hospital states....On Sunday night last or early on Monday morning the lock of the door of the Store Room at the hospital was picked by which an entry was effected into the room and a number of blankets and wearing apparel belonging to the patients were carried off. I had locked the door on Sunday evening about 1/2 past 7 and on the following morning about nine oclock on attempting to unlock the door I could not succeed. The lock being materially injured previously. The door was afterwards opened and the extent of the robbery discovered. Davenport goes on duty as watchman at sunset and quits at day break. A few of the articles stolen have since been recovered. The Chief Constable states - I examined the store room of the hospital after the robbery had been discovered. It appeared to me that those concerned in it must have been well acquainted with everything about the place. I do not think it could have been effected by strangers. I found some of the paling of the hospital fence pulled down, large enough to admit a man to pass and some distance beyond in the sand part of the stolen property on Monday morning was found. John Davenport the watchman sates - On Sunday evening I was on duty as usual about 8 oclock Donnolly went towards the womans hospital as he passed me he asked for my stick. Shortly after Shea appeared. I asked him where he was going. He said for some coals. Shea passed me two or three times. Once after he had passed I heard him speak to someone behind the paling. I am sure it was Donnolly he was speaking to. I called to Shea and enquired who he spoke to. He replied no one. I asked where is Donnolly. Shea replied - at the womans hospital. When Shea passed me the third time, he called Alls Well. I asked him why he called. He replied it was time. It is not usual to anyone to call the hour at the hospital. I did not see any other persons about the hospital except Donnolly and Shea. When I heard of the robbery in the morning I suspected they were the perpetrators. Donnolly and Shea deny in general terms any knowledge of the robbery and account for the reason their going to the womans hospital. There not being sufficient proof against the accused being concerned in the robbery, they are discharged though strong suspicion attaches to them.
