DAILINO &CAPS /SOY A RAILWAY TRAIN.-011
Thursday leek • men named George Emiusoa, late a stoker
on the railway, meowed from the custody of P. O. Bingham,
cietriZ near Brigg, whilst travellinir on the Manchester,
sad .11• Railway, in • rather ingenious
aargee=dmanmr. It appears that the man load been
at • colliery- in Derbyshire the previous day,
on • charge of stealing 61. worth of wearing apparel from •
I=-Ilicome keeper at Ashby. Whilst waiting at Oatna•
for the departure of the train which was toconvey
them to Eleavity, the nearest station to Ashby, the plisoner
imbued Bingham to take off the handcuffs. On taking their
seats is the train, the prisoner got into the carnage first,
and Wu. his position next to the door, Itiogham going
101/1111111 the other aide of the compartment. Soon otter
haft Blyton station, about four miles from Gainsborongh,
the prisoner drew the attention of Bingham to something or
WWI' on the opposite side of the line to that oc which he
sat, and whilst the policeman was thus occupied, the
prisoner quietly opened the door of the carriage and jumped
out. The train at this time, it is believed, was going at the
rate of 25 miles an hour, bat, strange to say, the prisoner
does not seem to have been in the kart hurt. Bingham
soon missed his charge, and the train was stopped before its
arrival at the next station. The march for the prisoner,
however proved unavailing, and he is still at Lop.—

BUROL•111.7 IMUL SCARBOSOUGH.—On Sunday
evening, the residence of William Graham, Faq., Pelham
Lodge, Westborough, Scarborough, wasburglariously
entered and plundered by some thieves yet unknown.
The family had locked up the house and gone to church,
during which interval the robbery was committed.
Near the villa are two unfinished houses, and time, it ie
supposed, have afforded • hiding-place to the burglars until
the time for action came round. On Mr. Graburn's return
home it was found that every room in the house had been
ransacked, and the furniture disarranged and thrown about
so as to form a scene of complete confusion. The thieves
have taken 601. in gold, • geld watch and valuable appen-
doges, • silver watch, a pair of gold bracelets, several valua-
ble diamond and other Hugs, and some articles of plate.
It is computed that, in money end goods, about 2001. worth
of property has been stolen. There are some footprints on
the ground, near the back of the house, from which it cep-
pears that one of the burglars is either • female or a man
of small site. Two men, one teller than the other, and
both of very suspicious appearance, are remembered to
have been seen lurking about the unfinished buildiop on
Sunday ; but, u no thought was entertained of • burglary
by the neighbours who saw them, sufficient notice was not
taken of them for them to be identified. The police autho-
ritiee have the matter in band.
