A GRAPPLE WITH A BURGLAR

Yesterday morning, at the early hour of two o'clock,
the inhabitants of Rathbone-place, Oxford•street, were
alarmed by cries, in a man's voice, of " Murder,"
" Police," till the person who had been giving utterance
to them seemed to stop from exhaustion. Upon enquiries
being made as to the cause of alarm, it was ascertained
that in the first floor of No. 14, which is in
the occupation of Mr. Edgecombe, bootmaker, resides
a French watch and clock maker named Volague, and
he, about the hour above named, was sleeping in the
room, where he was aroused by a rustling noise in the
front apartment. Upon getting up, which he did
instantly after striking a light, he proceeded to the room►
and discovered a man just in the act of pulling out a
drawer, which had been forcibly opened, and which con-
tained several watches and chains, and trinkets of great
value. He at once, placing his night lamp on the
table, seized the burglar, who closed with him and a
desparate struggle ensued, ending in M. Volague being
nearly stripped of his night dress, and eventually thrown
to the extreme end of the room ; and before he could
recover himself, the burglar threw up one of the windows,
and leaped into the street—alighting on his feet he made
off. A few minutes afterwards, five policemen (who
had not been earlier at hand when wanted) made
their appearance, and on hearing the statement of M.
Volague, started off in different directions, with the view
of effecting the capture of the desperado, who, however,
as may be anticipated, had during this time made a safe
retreat. From the flurry and excitement of the time,
M. Volague was unable to describe the man. The
burglar could not have obtained an entrance otherwise
than by means of skeleton keys.
