DARING BURGLARY.—TAKE CARE or YOUR LINEN.
—Frederick Flock, aged 20, Mary Ann Dodson, 19, and
Martha Japes, 17, were charged with breaking into the
wash-house attached to the dwelling-house of Elizabeth
Wilde, No. 8, College-terrace, Stepney Green.

The prosecutrix identified a large quantity of linen pro-
duced, and said her wash-house was entered on Tuesday
night or early yesterday morning, and the linen which had
been loft in the water in a washing tub taken away. She
missed the property at seven o'clock yesterday morning,
She knew the prisoner Jupes. Her brother worked in the
factory as a file maker, and her mother was the laundress of
the family. She also knew the girl's father.
James Briden, a police sergeant, No. 4 K, stated that no
information of the robbery was given to the police until
yesterday afternoon at two o'clock, and he immediately
proceeded to examine the premises. The burglars had
climbed over a wall at the back of the premises, There
was a similar wall at the back of each house in College-
terrace, and any ch ild could get over the walls owing to
the want of a paling or chevaux de frise on the top. Mr.
Gilbert, a gentleman living next door to Mrs. Wilde, had
been plundered of linen which was taken out of his garden
at the back of his house. He found all the prisoners in a
room in the tenement No. 6., Hope-place, Limeouse, last
night. There were two lads in the room. All five were
engaged in drying the stolen linen by the fire and spread-
ing it out. Some of the linen was before the fire and some
was on the table. The remainder was in a corner and
had been dried. He lost the two lads, whom he knew
well, and he expected to take them. One of the lads went
to the window, opened it, and jumped into the street
directly he entered the room, and in endeavouring to secure
him he lost the other boy, who went out at the door and ran
down stairs. The prisoners also attempted to escape. He
had no assistance, but he secured them. D3dson said the
linen was brought into her room at two o'clock in the after-
noon. He knew the prisoner well. She had been convicted
several times. Flock was a bad character and the associate
thieves. The third prisoner Jupes was a wicked girl and
had left her parents.

Miss Elizabeth Wilde said the washhouse door was closed
with a latch and not locked. Any one could enter it from
the yard after climbing the wall. Th© linen produced was
worth £5.

The prisoners mado no defence, and were remanded for a
week.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market to-day was tolerably well supplied with beasts
as to number, but their general character was inferior. All
breeds moved off heavily, at Monday's currency. The top
figure for Scots was 5s per Sibs. t heep—the show of which
was moderate— changed hands slowly, and in some in-
stances clipped qualities were rather cheaper. Downs, in
the wool, sold at 6s per Sibs. Lambs were a dull inquiry,
at from 6s 8d to 7s per 81s, There was an improved feel-
ing in the veal trade, at 4d per 81bs more money. The
quotations ranged from 4a 4d to 5a 4d per 81bs. In pigs
and mulch cows very little was doing, on former terms.
