Outbreak at a Roman Catholic Reformatory.

The Nottingham guardian reports another serious out-
break at the Mount St Bernard Reformatory, a Roman
Catholic institution. On the 22d of May fonr criminals
made their escape between the hours of 12 p.m. and 6 a.m.
by cutting up the sheets and letting themselves down from
the dormitory windows. They afterwards broke open tho
tailor's shop, equipping themselves each in a suit of clothes
belonging to the band. They were afterwards captured at
Derby, and committed for trial. On the 24th a general mu-
tiny took place. The 3 oung criminals, to the number of 180,
refused to work or obey the officers of the establishment,
and defied them to touch or interfere with them. Some few
of the youths who were disposed to obey were mercilessly
punished by their more hardened companions. In the after-
noon about 50 went off in a body towards Bardon, armed
with knives, sticks, and stones. Some bricklayers and
labourers near Bardon attempted to capture them ; but they
immediately drew out their knives and threw stones as thick
as hail, and one man. was severely injured. The men, how-
ever, succeeded in capturing 7 of the boys, and took them
back. In the meantime others had also gone out for a pleasure
trip. In the evening about 70 returned, defying the offi-
cers to touch or punish them, and again had the place in
their possession. They ordered and wero supplied with
what they required, and after much persuasion they went
to bed. Next morning, happening to see a farmer, named
Burgess (who had rendered some assistance on the pre-
vious day in their capture), pass, about thirty boys fol-
lowed him into the Forest Rock Inn, and insisted on the
landlord turning him out that they might have their re-
venge. This the landlord refused, upon which an attack wat
immediately made upon his house, and about 255. worth
