Details: To the Editor of the Maitland Mercury. SIR - Having seen this day a paragraph in your paper of the 17th instant, from a correspondent at Muswell Brook, setting forth that Chief Constable Fox was the person who found out the actual perpetrator of the Jerrys Plains mail robbery, I beg to inform you that statement is incorrect; and as every horse ought to carry his own saddle, so let every man have the praise due to him. On the morning of the 13th inst., I, Sergeant Giles, accompanied by Corporal Worsley and two troopers, apprehended Robert Crunden, a deserter from the 11th Regt., and lodged him in Muswell Brook lockup. I was told that a woman named Howell had just exchanged a twenty-pound note for Crunden, when I had a suspicion that it was he who had robbed the mail; Corporal Worsley then went and demanded the money from Mrs. Howell, which she refused to give up until afterwards ordered by the magistrates. Chief Constable Fox then went with her to Mrs. Nowland, from whom she got the change; the change was given again to Mrs. Nowland, and the twenty-pound note handed over to Mr. Fox, which was all he had to do with it. The one-pound note was obtained by Corporal Worsley from Mrs. Hegarty. - I remain, sir, your most obedient servant, EDWARD GILES, Sergeant Mounted Police. Jerrys Plains, Jan. 19, 1849.
