SACRILEGE sir YORE.—On Sunday night, or
early on Monday morning, the church of St. Maurice,
Monkgate, was sacrilegiously broken into. Various fix-
tures and other articles in the sacred edifice were either de-
stroyed or damaged, and a black silk hood, three black silk
scarf', and a silk handkerchief, stolen therefrom. On Mon-
day night another sacrilege took place. The church of
Bishophill Senior was broken into, acoesa into the fabric
having been effected by taking out part of one of the win-
dows. The vestry was ransacked by the thieves, who, it
appeared, succeeded in obtaining and drinking a bottle of
wine. Fortunately, however, they were disappointed of the
communion plate, which was in the safe custody of one of
the churchwardens. An attempt had been made to force
open the register chest, the thieves no doubt being under
the impression that the plate was there. They had also
endeavoured to break into the poor-box, but were unsuccess-
ful. On Wednesday night another depredation of the same
kind was committed at the church of St. Cuthbert, Peas-
haze-green. The delinquents broke open all the desks and
closets in the vestry, evidently in search of the communion
plate; but they were disappointed. The locks were all de-
stroyed, but nothing of any material value was taken away.
