LAMBETH.

Thomas Flint, Thomas Hockford, and James Raynor,
three ruffianly looking fellows, who beg about the street,
and who are too lazy to work, were charged with breaking
a street lamp.
Police-constable Davis deposed, that while on duty at the
station-house, Kennington-lane, ho was informed that three
men outside bad just broken a atreet lamp. He, in conse-
quence, went into Kennington-lane, and finding a lamp
broken, and the prisoners standing near, he asked them
how it happened. They all three acknowledged that each
had thrown a stone, and he in consequence took them into
custody.
The prisoners admitted having broken the lamp, and aid
they had done so on purpose that they might be taken into
custody, as they were unable to get any work, and were in
consequence in a starving state.
Mr. Clifford, relieving officer of Camberwell parish, in-
formed the magistrate that at this moment there was such I
demand for labour that there was not a single able-bodied
pauper in the Camberwell workhouse, and he (Mr. Clif-
ford) felt perfectly satisfied that the prisoners could find
plenty of work if they wished to look for it.
It was also stated that some days ago the overseer of the
parish of St. Luke's, Old-street, was in court when a
similar charge was made before the magistrate, and he then
stated that the officers of his parish were paying 2s. and
half-a-crown a day for stone breaking, and could not find
enough of workmen to break the quantity they require.
Mr. Norton remarked that it was perfectly evident from
the appearance of the prisoners that they did not want em-
ployment, that they were too lazy to work, but to live on
the industry of the ratepayers and others. He then ordered
them to pay Is. each, the value of the glass they had broken,
or in default to stand committed to prison for seven days.

TILE FLIGHT OF MR. TODD OF NEWCASTLE-ON-
TYsa.—Since the flight of Mr. John Todd, the distiller,
of Newcastle, active measures have been taken for
his re-capture, but, hitherto, without success. He has
been declared a bankrupt, and a large quantity of min, of
the value of 1,1001., which he had disposed of to a party in
Newcastle, a few days before his departure, has been se-
cured to the use of his creditors. It has also been ascer-
tained that a box, believed to contain valuable property,
was removed from his residence and conveyed by railway
to Clapham Convent, and that his son and two daughters
took refuge there for a short time. On Friday, Mr. Hoyle,
solicitor for the assignees, applied to the Newcastle Court
of Bankruptcy, for a request to Mr, Commissioner Holroyd,
to examine in London, the Lady Superior of the Convent,
and any other person whom be may think fit to summon
to be examined for the discovery of the said box. The ap-
plication was granted, as was also a warrant, under sec.
119 of the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Act, to appre-
hend the bankrupt, and bring him before the court, so
soon as he was apprehended. Ile is supposed to be either
in France or Belgium,with both of which countries he was
well acquainted.
ATTEMPTED BURGLARY AT BROME RECTORY.—
A bold bat unsuccessful attempt was made to commit a
burglary at the rectory house, Brome, the residence of
the ltev. Mr. Paterson, between the hours of 10 and 12
on the night of Wednesday, the Ist of June. It appear
that the rev. gentleman was absent front home, and was on
his return when he heard the alarm-bell of his house rung
violently. The noise had aroused some of the villagers,
and upon his reaching home be discovered that the attempt
had been defeated by the alarm. It is supposed that two
or three men were concerned in the affair, judging from
the numher of foot falls heard in their retreat. Upon ex-
amining the premises, it was found that en attempt had
been made to force several of the windows on the ground
floor with a chisel and hammer, and:the men seem to have
been at no pains to conceal their intentions. It is conjec-
tured that the fellows were well acquainted with the prem.
lees, and that they also knew that there was no man in the
house at the time, having no doubt watched Mr. Paterson
and his male servant drive out in the afternoon. Suspicion
has alighted upon some parties, and the police are actively
engaged in making inquiries.—!j swids Express.
SERIOUS MlSTAKE.—Yesterday morning a serious
mischance, which is most likely to terminate fatally, hap-
pened to a men named Frederick Howlett, a carpenter,
who resided at Mary-street, Hampstead-road. lie was at
work at a gentleman's house at Paddington, when one of
his fellow workmen told him that he had found a bottle of
Old Tom in a cupboard. Howlett went, and finding it so
labelled, took a hearty draught, when he instantly fell
down, it being nitric acid, which had been emptied into a
gin bottle and accidentally left in the cupboard. Without
loss of time he was taken to Albert-ward, Bt. Mary's Hos-
pital, where the stomach pump was applied and antidotes
were administered, but the unfortunate man now lies in a
meet precarious state.
