ROUGE ES NOIR.—On Friday night last the
counting-room attached to Mr. Deans' coach-works and
painting :shop, Haddington, was broken Into by forcing
open a back window. Holes were needy cut by the depre-
dator in the bottoms of two drawers of a writing-table,
doubtless in the smirch for money, which' happily proved
unsuccessful. One of the drawers contained a small paper
parcel of vermillion, which the thief evidently cut through
when lying under the table, allowing—es was conjectured
—the colour to fall upon his face and hands. Nest morning
the county police were informed of the burglary ; and,
upon dune visiting the house of a man named Campbell, a
chimesy-sweep, the grotesque appearance of his face and
clothes, by this novel admixture of red and black, at once
fastened suspicion upon him. He was immediately taken
into custody, and is now in Haddiogton gaol *waiting his
trial.—Edimburgh Courant.
GAROTTE ROBBERIES.—Two robberies of this
nature occurred in Newcastle on the night of the 3rd inst.
In the first instance a pitman, named Rolfe, had been in- ,
deiced to accompany three men, one of whom he knew, to
the Wall Knoll, in search of his c mills. No sooner had
he entered into the dark narrow street than the forcible
application of the open hand to the throat almost strangu-
lated
him, and deprived himof consciousness. When he !
recovered his watch was gone, his pocket, containing his 1,
money, was completely torn off, and his broken watch guard
hanging round hie neck. The three men were captured
shortly titer, identified by Rolfe, and committed 12r trial
at the aseizes. The see red robbery took piece et the head
of the Causey Hank, on the road leading to New Bridge-
street. Mrs. Macgregor, the person who was robbed, was
going home at wee o'clock on Saturday night, with two
baskets on her arm, one containing her keys and the other
the money 'whit& she had that day taken in her business.
She was treated in the manner usually adopted by the
“gero.teen," and deprived of all power of resistance or
capability of shouting for aid. Fortunately, there was
some as/titmice not far off, and, in the haste the thieves
made to get away, they only carried off the basket with the
hunch of keys. One man was taken soon after, but Mrs.
Macgregor was unable to swear to him as one of the persons
who had committed the robbery upon ker. He was conse-
quently remanded.—Netrcork Cleronick.
