ISUPPC,SED APPREB ENSION OF ONE OF
THE LANDADOWNR BURGLAKS.
About midday on Sunday Superintendent Viekery,
alter two days' search in company with the Bristol
detectivre, succeeded in capturing • notorious character,
named Willion Britton, alma Harris, known in Bristol
by the name of Jonas. He has only been nine days out
prison in Nees, Monmouthshire, where he underwent
two years' imprisonment He has also bad three year's
postal servitude, and several other convictions. He was
svprebentied in Lower-lane, one of the worst places in
Bristol, being the resort of known thieves, and
ether bad characters. Wben apprehended be threatened
atab Sergeant (lark, of the Bristol detective forces;
bat did not carry his threat into execution. lie how-
ever threatened he would "do for" either Sergeant
Clark or Rowland, before long. In • room in the top
part of the house where Britton was arrested, was
another man who was supeeted ; but he bolted
through a window on the aide of • holm, and van-
ished Into souse other boner, which are like a rabbit-
warren, all the rooms being connected with
OM another. In his harry, however, he left
Ms coat and surf behind blot. The Superinten-
dent and detectives followed him as fares possible, but
he knew tho place better than they did, and succeeded
In baffling pursuit. On searching the room Britton
had occupied, a life-preserver was found, the handle I
fanned of cane, with a heavy piece of load at the
end, worked all over with twine net-work, in the inter.
sties' of which are some trues of mortar. Mr. Viekery
brought his prisoner to Weymouth by the 2.35 trait,
and news of the " fashionable arrival" having got
abroad, there was a consider Able crowd to receive him•
Prisoner denies having been near Weymouth lately ;
but it is expected that his presence here at midnight of
Wednesday last will be distinctly proved at the examine-
tion this (Ineeday) morning. Prisoner seems to answer I
very well the description given of the "man with the
scratched face," but appears younger than ho really is, I
an aceount of his having breu closely shaved.
