Military-road, was burglariously entered, and property
to a large amount, consisting principally of watches,
brooches, gold and silver chains, rings, Indian rupees,
a quantity of old silver, and other articles, was stolen,
The entrance into the premises was effected in • most
, skilfol manner, the burglars crossing over the back
premises of several houses before they reached that of
Mr. Hyman. They then cut out a pane of glass in the
back kitchen window, which they opened, and obtained
easy entrance into the shop which they completely
cleared, effecting an escape with their booty without
creating the least noise. The evening before the burglary
the prisoner brusher was in the taproom of the Wootpaok
publichouse, where he publicly boasted that he was
going to" spring a drum" (commit • burglary) that
night, and asked a man there to lend him his slop for
that porpoise, but although Rose, the landlord, was in
the room at the time, and knew the prisoner had been
two or three times convicted, he gave no information to
the police. About 2 o'clock that morning Drualer
presented himself at the Chatham police station and
wished to be taken into custody for setting fire to • rick,
but the offloer on duty, disbelieving his statement,
refused to lock hioa up. The shop where the burglary
was committed was only • few doors from the police-
station, and the prisoner must have broken into the
premises immediately after leaving it, as • crowbar be
took from the station-house was left behind at Mr.
Hymues, The prisoner was arrested the following
morning, when he admitted that he committed the
burglary, as he wished to rollout of the service. He Aso
