GREAT ART THEFTS.
PORTION OF THE BOOTY RECOVERED. Received May 9, 9.23 a.m. LONDON, May 8. In February the house of Mr Charles Wertheimer, in Park Lane, was entered by burglars, and pictures and articles of vertu valued at £50,000 were stolen, including the Gainsborough picture "Nancy Parsons" and Sir Joshua Reynolds' portrait of Mrs Charles York, valued at £20,000, which were unskilfully cut from their frames with a carving knife. A large portion of the treasures and proceeds of the burglary have now been recovered in a small house in Clapham, but it does not include the missing Gainsborough and Reynolds' pictures. An Italian giving the name of Smith has been arrested. Four missing snuff-boxes were found in his possession.
