elsameter ; he wes formerly transported for roLbery, and for

trived to escape Gemlike keepers, and for sea. time led the
life of a bufbranger; he afterwards managed to got Oil burd
some veseel and return to Bagfand, whets he soon moons-
nosnood ill deeds, was tan, recognised, and again seatenced
for 21 years. Being seat to the Yak hulk, he became the
leader of a moat refractory gang, and for the purpose of
separating him from then, he was transferred to the Stirling
Castle, where be was placed in am of the most secure cells,
out of which, however, he let himself on Tuesday morn-

doors, one . of which was secured with outside lock', end by
some means obtaining the steward's dress, clothed him-
self with it, descended the ladder, got into one of
the hulk's boats, and pushed off into the tide.
In the morning the boat was picked up, and the
prisoner's escape discovered ; bot, strange to say, the dome
through which be had passed Were found all moursly locked.
A policeman on daty in the dockland, we are told, a .ys he
saw a man la the boat, and supposed him to be one of the
pude; and that, on asking some person he saw on tho de. 1
of the Stitheg Castle if all was right, he was answered in
the affirmative. Last week some of the convicts on board
the York bulk concocted a plan to escape, and but for one of
the gang confined in the maw cell giving information

immediately under the chapel, they had, by haring two
planks effected an opening into the chapel, the pore holes of
