The gaol authorities refuse to give information as to the mode

the most satisfactory precautions. The first of the three
convicts is Gorge Burrell, aged 24 yeses, committed from
Lsmbetb Police Court oa the 3rd of March, to the Kingston
itemizes, for burglary with violence, and sentenced to six
years' penal servitude. The second is Charles Frost (alias
Alfred Walker), formerly residing in Grove-road, Maio°,
committed from Richmond Police Court, on the 28th March,
1862, convicted at the Survey Sessions for housebreaking,
end sentenced to six years' penal servitude. The third is
(3eorp Beeson (alias Hackman), aged 29, who formerly re-
sided at Victoria-place, Poplar, committed from Lambeth
Police Court on the 2nd of April for larceny, arid sentenced
to six years penal servitude. Up to Saturday night not the
slightest clue had been obtained of the soaped convicts,
although a meat diligent search has been made by the
police and a reward offered for their apprehension.
A vows FROM THE ATTIC.—" Attica" writes to
the nines :—" I us a maid, respectable 'scoria house coe,
at No. B--square. May. Keys housekeyper I jest
beard say to batlar, "rho ladies is making a great piece of
worksheet poor people's lodgings, why don't they mind their
own business" sees she. Imy same, and if they did I say
this, they would learn bow I sod such have to lodge in
their own houses. In country there aint much to complain
of ;itis a noble place, fit for my Iced and his servants. We
maids have things there decent every way. Here, Mr. Editor,
in town it is odious and awful how we have to sleep and do
everything. It aiot either modest or Christian. Three, and
sometimes four, in a cupboard of &attic ; if 'reopen the win-
dow, we are sure to let is the ' blacks,' if we don't invite
the housebreaker chaps. Two turn-ups sad owe chair the fur-
niture, with but two hooks on door for dresses, and my lady
knows—who better!—the rosin the hoops take, let alone all
the rest. As to oer dreading missives &costly, it isn't pas-
gable; only one can do back hair at *time, and wears forted to
put ourcorests co boxes in the pease., and, shame to say, hall
boy end rune's 'oversees sleeps beyond we. As to the air
of the room, its quite unwholesome—l know it is, fur I
read all about it in paper about lodging-houses. Ido wish,
sir, some of these good busy ladies would just form a com-
mittee and go round our square and see how respect-
able maids from country have to sleep and do all be-
sides in the nobilities' houses in London. I won't go into
particulars, they ain't fit for print, but when we have to
sleep like pip, wash at a sink, you may guar the rest ; I
know our men folk, who see very civil, do feel for us, bat,
as they say, there slot decent ways of getting out of ours."
