The prisoner* were taken into custody on Friday. and
on Statuslay were brought before W. Pinckney, EN.,
and ronawled until this day.—Supt. Matthews now
applied for a further remand, as he had not been enabled
1,, procure the witnesses necessary to substantiate the
charge. These men have been perambulating the
country for sotne time past. They were traced to
Bufford, and from thence to Amesbury, where Yr.
Self., gave one of the men a sovereign, as he saw the
name of Mr. Rooke, • neighbour, attached to the peti-
tion. They were overtaken on their way back to
Salisbury near Old Castle Farm, and they were
immediately taken into custody. On their being
searched two begging petitions were found upon
them, each setting forth • most pitiful .6317-
One of them represented that a Mrs. Martha
1141, of Whitabury, had recently lost twelve
valuable cows from pleuro pneumonia, and
that she had thna been deprived of the means of I
supporting herself and eight fatherless children. The !
names of Lord Nelson, the Rev. It F. Purvisa, Rev.
R. Payne, Mr. bila•Taunton, and other persons well
known in the neighbourhood appear as subscribers, but
none of the signatures are genuine. The document
likewise stated that the gum of £l2 10s. Gd. had been
raised for "Mrs. Hall" in her own parish. The same
ntunta were appended to the other petition, which set
forth that "the bearer, Henry Read, a carpenter, of
Whitsbury, on the night of the likh of February, had
all hts household furniture and do k-inarade, to the
ratite of £125, destroyed by fire, and that he and his
wife and aged mother had been thrown into the greeted
distress,—Mr. delft!, of Amesbury, on Icing sworn.
mid : One of the pris,ners came to hint, and
presented the petition in reference to the
cows. He noticed the nation of several of
Ida neighbours, and believing that the case
was • deserving one, be gave the man a sovereign. Ile
should not have done so had he not seen the mune of
Mr. Rooks on the petition, and the representation it
contained. Only one man earn, to him.— Superinten-
dent Matthewa said he should be enabled to connect the
whole of the prisoners with the offence. If • remand
was granted he should be enabled to pmve that the three
men were seen to have Salisbury in company, and that,
after the man had received the sovereign from Mr.
fielle, he went in company with the two other pritioners
to a r üblic-home at Raiford, and there changed the coin
for some hoer. Ile (the superintendent) bad been to
Whitsbury, and he found out that there was no person
by the name of Mrs. Hall, or Hall, living there.
Lieutenant-General Buckley said he gave N. to one of
the prisoners; but the fire petition was preeeeted to
him. His name upon the petition, which wav not in
his handwriting, stood for • guinea, but he only gave
N. He observed the name of Sir William Heatheote,
and as he believed that to 63 • forgery, he would write
to him and make inquiries.—The prisoners were then
further remanded for • week.

D•t1710 &CAPS YROM Tilt FISHIRTON COUNTY
GAUL.— On Saturday morning lest,loin old man '
named Daniel Duggan, 69 years of age, soooetided in
making his wimpy from the above prison, but through
the vigilance of the counti constabulary lie did not
long retain his liberty. Duggan was convicted at
Use Inn Warminster Sessions of 'beep stealing, and
was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment.
In consequence of the pol being full the prisoner
was tranderred to the debtors ode of the Pete mid
I be slept in ate of the rooms toe etviesl sights The

plan of escape seems to have been well matured, for
when the turnkeys wont their usual rounds on
Saturday morning, between six and seven o'clock,
he was missing. The prisoner seems to have secreted
some instrument about his person on Friday night,
and with it ho removed the iron casing from one of
the panels of the door, and then took out the panel
itself. This gave him somas to the debtors yard,
which is surrounded by walls. One of thee. he
scaled by forcing broken shoe tips, which be
bad obtained from the shoemaker's room, between
the bricks, and using them as steps. The prisoner
is a shoemaker, and during his confinement
in the gaol he has been employed at his
trade, and this accounts for his having be-
come possessed of the shoe tips. From this wall
be jumped into the garden, but be had then to scale
the outside wall, which is from Is to 20 feet high,
with an upper course of loose Wicks. Close to the
wall there is • yew hedge, and the prisoner placed
• pair of steps which he found in the garden upon
it, and he was so enabled to touch the top of the
walk By some means or other be removed •
number of the ornamental bricks on the top of the
wall and place them upon the steps, and by this
means be mounted the wall. He thou dropped into
the field adjoining, and made his escape. Informa-
tion was immediately given to Superintendent
Matthews, who communicated with the whole of his
men, who scoured the country, in fact entirely sur-
rounded him, Two of the turnkeys went across the
plain on horseback, but the only information they
could obtain of the runaway was that at half-past
eight in the morning he was seen under a rick about
three miles on the Devizes-road. Superintendent
Matthews was close upon his heels, for whilst they
pissed on the Down the prisoner concealed himself
in • small plantation. On Sunday morning, however,
he was captured by Sergeant Johnson, in • barn at
Winterborne Stoke, and in the evening he was
brought back to Salisbury, and safely lodged again
in gaoL When caught he WU suffering from lame-
ness, occasioned by the injuries he received in jump-
ing from the prison walls. He stated that one of
the ornamental bricks fell upon him, and gave him a
severe blow on the back. He was still wearing
portions of the prison dress, but had extemporised a
tolerably successful disguise by drawing an old pair
of trousers over his striped breeches by converting
his flannel shirt into a kind of slip, and by making
• leathern hat. The trousers and the materials for
the hat he must have secured before leaving the
gaol. It is uuueceseary to state that the prisoner
will be closely confined during the remainder of his
sentence.
