Heavy robbery. --Yesterday morning three young men — Carter Tadlock, Willie Ellett, and John Postower — were before the Mayor on the charge of feloniously breaking and entering the house of Mrs. Mary Stephens, and stealing therefrom $1,000 in State Bank notes, $360 in Confederate notes, $260, in specie, two gold watches, one silver watch, one pistol, and one dirk knife. Mrs. Stephens keeps a small establishment in Brackett's old tavern, on Broad street. On Monday afternoon last the three prisoners called at Mrs. S's store, and getting into conversation remained there an hour or two. During their sojourn Mrs. Stephens had occasion to open her trunk, in which her money was kept, and thus exposed it to their view. That night, between the hours of 1 o'clock and day break, the front door was opened by false keys or otherwise, the trunk and contents extracted, and the door left ajar. Euly on Tuesday morning Mrs. S. discovered her door open, and, missing her trunk, gave the alarm.
