WORSHIP-STREET.
AN UNIIIVITILD GUIST.

BM 27 A, to active fellow, wa
charged Mr. Cooke with attempting to enter a
dwelling-house for felonious purposes.
Mr. Albert Pain, residing at 19, Vivian-road, Old Ford,
Bow, said—On my return home last evening, between 6 and
9 o'clock, my wife informed me that she had noticed several
very suspicious-looking persona about the neighbourhood.
I called her attention to the fact of the parlour window
being wide open, at which she was manifestly asto-
nished, and informed me that when she left the
apartment an hour previously, it was not so. Of course,
we looked over the house, but not • trace of
an intruder having been there was apparent. I nevertheless
felt considerable suspicion, and, changing my boots for mY
slippers, sat down by the side of the window mentioned,
which was allowed to remain as it bad been found. Very
soon I heard the stealthy tread of some person in the front
garden, and immediately afterwards • shadow darkened the
opposite side of the room, a man's head intruded over the
window sill, and peered carefully round. As I was placed
shielded partly by the curtains it was impossible to see
me distinctly, and I was just congratulating myself
on the certainty of securing the stranger, when
• sudden light glimmered io ; be had struck •
Inciter, and holding it forward was enabled to see me. I
made a dish at him ash. retreated, but missed, jumped from
the window after him through the garden, and along the
road, giving an alarm but not obtaining assistance. Pre-
gently off came my slippers, and down I went over • sharp
flint, cutting not only my foot but my arm in the fall. Still
I did not lose sight of the fellow, but followed, and, after a
sharp and certainly disagreeable chase, captured him. Un-
fortunately, the police were changing duty at the station-
house, end it was a quarter of an hour before I could hand
my visitor over to a pcbse-constable. My wife afterwards
mentioned that she had seen a woman with • basket offering
something for tale at the parlour and area windows of the
houses in the road.
The police-sergeant in charge of the case observed that a
woman with a "swag basket" had brought the prisoner food
at the station-house.
Prinaner admitted his guilty intention, and wished to be
dealt with at once, but Mr. Cooke directed that he should
be remanded.
