The result is a great increase of robberies. ® During. the last two years London |: police courts have had to deal with a considerable influx of these foreign criminals, male and female, who ob- tain footholds in private houses as domestic servants, and either ran- sack their employers' premises them- selves or admit confederates who are also burglars, 'The officials at one of the north- ern metropolitan courts yesterday ! recalled a case where a German ser- vant girl had been convicted for ad- mitting two male compatriots, who practically looted the basement.
