REPULSE OF A GANG OF BURGLARS. I et.l

Early O. Thursday morning, a gang of five armed it.
burglars wallaaaddenly surprised whilst preparing to effect 54
an entrable bee the residence of Captain James Newton, ;3'
Iminseselmelle and Stockport. Captain Newton is an so
antenelvsomnar of land in the locality, a portion of which is at
let to Mr. Thomas Savage, whine farm-bows and buildings 13
are separated from the reeidenos and garden of Captain SO
Newton by a bricu wall about 12 to 14 feet kigh. The in- C
mates, besides Captain and Mrs. Newton, were a footman lo
sad two domestic servants. In the farm-house, with Mr. to
illeimas Savage, lens his brother William, who is a stout 3
SIMI powerful young man, and several farm servants. During 3
NM night of Wednesday, William Savage had occasion to be
OM late, and returned bogie about two o'clock on Thursday
mining, when he saw two ladders reared against the high
wall dividing the farm premises from Captain Newton's
house. On making up to the spot he was instantly seised Z.
by two men, who got him down upon the pavement.
IHe then saw a third man standing by, and two others soon 13
appeared, as if they had come down the ladders. When down si
he heard a clicking sound, es of the cocking of a piVol, Si
All the lore thin made off up the farmyard towards the it
fields ; some of them were in advance of the others, but one
of them, when only about four yards off, turned round, and, ti
easing Savage had regained his feet, discharged a pistol at 101
kin. The ball passed through the upper pert of his hat, so
making a hole and tearing it. Seeing that the men were 122-
maparating, Savage made a desperate run after the hinder- 'et
smut, and caught him by the back of his coat collar. The et
man called for help, upon which the other four returned, lei
lama again got Savage upon the ground. He heard one of 10
lam cock a pistol, and another struck him several times SO
with a truncheon. Having severely beaten him, they left :11
him prostrate and ran off. On examining the premises, it BL
was found that the two ladders had been brought by the gt.
burglars from the farmyard of Mr. Elkanah Cheatham, s
situate about 200 yards distant. This is not the first 10
attempt of the kind that has been made upon the same re- .1?
sidence, and had the thieves not been thus interrupted, it
seems probable that it was their intention to scale the bed la
-
room windows with the ladders, and, in case of meeting so
with reeist.nce, had prepared themselves with fire-arms, la
which might have been used with fatal consequences.— Sf•
