CLERKENWELL.
Mr. Knox, who sat for Mr. Barker, was engiged for some
time in hearing a caw of housebreaking against three well-
dreseed men, who gave the names of Sill7o/1 Claydon, aged
26, an engineer, of 5, Waterloocead, Lambeth, Henry
Pereira!, aged 20, a who refused his address, and
John Beaumont, aged 25, a ary, who also refused his
edibles. The prisoners were charged with breaking and
entering the dwelling-house No. 32 Rheidol-terraos, L-
and stealing therefrom Three per Cent. stock and
4p
railway' shares of the value of between WOW. and 1,8001.,
besides four silver teaspoons, one pair of sugar tongs, one
pair at gold bracelets, one gold brooch, one gold thimble,
raaj old etude, one coat, and other articles of wearing
the property of Mr. Robert Ellis Roberts, of the
=raddress.
Two of the prisoners bad severe wounds on their beads
owing to aidesperate struggle with the police when they
endeavoured to make their escape from the house of the
prosecutor. Mr. Inspector Judge, N division, was in at-
tendann to watch the ease.
Police-constable Herbert Staamore, 136 N arid— Last night
work, about half-past six in the evening, I saw the three
in company with another man. Suspecting them,
fiwTt'oried them for about two hours, and saw them stand-
ing in front of the prosecutor's house, and they left about
nine o'clock. From their movements 1 thought they would
pay a visit again to the house, and last night about half-past
6 o'clock I saw thesame four men. I watched:them, and about
7 o'clock the prisoners Beaumont and Percival entered
the door of No. 32, Rheidol-terrace along with a man
that is not in custody. Olt don waited outside walking up
sad down for two hours. We could see the other two pri-
soners in the hoar moving about with • light. Shortly
after that, the third man who entered the house, and who
has made his escape, came out of the house and joined the
prisoner Claydon. I waited some time, and some other
officers coming up I entered the house, and Claydon then
ran oft. I toned the prisoners ijs the front parlour behind
the folding-doors. The front kitchen door had been broken
open. I examined the house, and found that aye
bed been mosacked, and two drawers broken opentbitt
parlour I found a jemmy, which had been used for break-
ing open the doors and the boxes. The prisoners in the
home were very,violent, and made a most desperate struggle
and resistance to their optnre. After that I west with
another amenable to the Waterloo-road, and saw the pri-
'emir Ogden apprehended. When he was told the
be said be Wall innocent and • respectable man, atalt.C.
he would make as pay for taking him into custody.
The prisoner Claydon said he was never in Islington in
his life. The other prisoners said they did not wish to say

anythiog.
The constable stated that he had repeatedly seen Claydon
in Islington.
Polir-constable Newbold, 151, said—l was in company
kid sight with the previous wirer end ow Percival and
Beasneout enter the complainant's house. I went through
the next door, sad saw them in the back parlour. As soon
I es I knocked at the door they ran to the front. I thrust open
the deo Irw the prisoners in the front parlour, and
Parr' drunk at me with a blunt iron Instrument. Both
prisoners sends a desperate resistance, and fought dere* to
mail their escape. I searched Beaumont, and found on
him papers representing Googols and railway shares to the
amount ot between 1,7001. and 1,8001. I also found on him
a number d silver spoons, brooches, and gold shirt stud'.
Bo aid they all rimed to the prosecutor. I also found
on him eight *erica keys, a pick lock, and a number of
silent matches. I afterwards apprehended Claydon in the

Waterloo-road. . •
The prosecutor stated theta.' whole of the property pro-
&reed belonged to him. It was all mho when he sad Ida
lamerwaut ast to church. He left no one in the hum.
He bad bis clog stolen on Tuesday last, and he bad no doubt
bat that the prisoners were connected with the persona who
purloined it.
Inspector Judge said be should like s remand, as he had
so doubt the prisoners had before been convicted.
Mr. Knox saul be should commit the prisoners for trial,
1,10,7 will be brought upapin for the completion of the
one. It winery fooluh of the prosecutor to leave
his house without anybody to look after it. As for a
dog that was not much use, for a piece of poisoned liver
would soon put an end to its existence.
_ HARLBOROUGH:STREET.

Mrs. Connelly, pliant, fitrandt was binned op for
further examination, charged with stealing & of
pictures, the property of Mr. (sines, a piesntre dealer.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marllsorenglmskest, ed-
dressed He court, and stated that to oonsequsees of the
prisoner being subject to ileptic fits, sod the high re-
spectability of the prisoaw's connections, the prosecutor
was not inclined to proceed with severity. He trusted.
therefore, the court would be disposed to take a merciful
view of the case, and to regard the charge only as one of
UV' Pawning.
prosecutor said, if the magistrate did not object, be
was willing to abstain from premnog the charge, provided of
course the pictures, some ,of which were valuable, were
given back to him.
Mr. Tyrwhitt had no objection to deal with the awe in a
lenient manner, in consequence of the plea that bad been
urged, of the prisoner being subject to epileptic fits. He
would take the case as one of illegally pawning, and inflict
a fine of 31., or two months' imprietement.
The money was paid.

lawfully having & dog, value 1501., in his Newsome.

tradicted the starer= b: saying ha had it from • lady,

The dog wee introduced to the notice of the magistrate,
arliliale., extraordinary ere and appearance excited the
m nt of all be ; it was a hound nearly eigtablht
feet in length, standing as high as the solicitors' e,
with limbs in roportion, of a brown and white colour,
Kra.Kra. Chisholm, of 19, Warwick-place, Pimlico, said the

Isle of Wight. The dog had been left with her to take
oars of, and, through some workmen being in the house on
Saturday aftensoca, got out into the street. She understood

of the dog was IBM, or more.
Inspector Humphreys—The dog is wall known to our
MAIII.
Ms. Arnold-1 hope they don't use him practically.
(Laughter.)

dog knew about him. Ho had been in his present employ-
ment fourteen years, and never bad • stain upon his charac-
ter. He was induced to take some rum on Saturday &Ger-
nert, and becoming intoxicated got hold of the dog by
some means, but how, Le could not say. It was not likely
thetage man like him would think of keeping such •

s)
Impactor Humphreys said he had inquired into the
prisoner's character, and found be was a respectable man.
Mr. Arnold (to prisoner)—What were you going to do
with the dog ?
Primer—Pm sere I don't know.
Mr. Arnold—People usually seem to practise error-
dinary freaks when drunk. Why should you, • poor res-
pectable man, take it into your heed that some one had
given you this dog'
Webbs the messenger, said that the prisoner, before his
apprehension, was knocking at the houses in Gloucester-
street, 'equine; whether au body had lost the dog.
