perty, and about half-past Aye, the time the watchmen ge-
nerally go off their bate, they return, leaving one of
the party at tech end of the street to watch, whilst the
others climb over the area of the kitchen, and with en Matra-
meet something like • fishing roil, which screws info them
lengths, and which they generally carry concealed IR en um-
brella, they either pull op Ilse Nish with • book meowed to
the top of it, or else break a pane of glass, end with an-
other kind of hook which they screw to the top of this ipotesi-
meat they Ash out spoons, ladles !aims, or whatever other
article charms to be on the window. Several depredations of
this nature have been committed within the last fort-
night iu various part of the town; two silver table spoons
