GALLANT Carruaz.—Tho capture of a notorious
burglar took plate at Southsea, near Portsmouth, on Wed-
nesday, and is somewhat remarkable for the determined
spirit which was displayed by the captor. At the eastern
part of Soulless, close to the sea beach, is an educational
establishment, where young gentlemen are prepared for
their examinations for entry into the military awl naval 'or-
rice', the principal of which is Mr. Kimpshead, who was
formerly an inspector of government schools. On Wednes-
day morning Mr. Kempehead was awoke just previous to
daylight by a noise in tho house, and, arming himself with
a sword, left his bedroom to ascertain the cause. He woo
discovered there was au intruder in the house, who, however,
seemed to be making a rapid retreat, and eventually
escaped from the house, and Bed across Southsea-common.
Mr. Rempshead's clothing was slight, an easterly wind was
Mowing, and the figure of the burglar was fast lessening to
view ; but the gallant principal did not hesitate many
seconds before he dashed across the common in pursuit,
came up with the chase after a bard run of some minutes'
duration, captured him, and conveyed him back in triumph,
a prisoner, to the house he had taken so much trouble to
enter, but had fled from so precipitately. On arrival home
with his prisoner, Mr. Kompshead sent to the nearest
coastguard station for assistance, and delivered the pri-
soner into dieir charge, by whom be was conveyed to
Portsmouth g►ol, where he was recognised by the governor
(Mr. Astridge) as an old hand, whose last name wag Henry
Thompson, and who had recently been discharged from
penal servitude. .
