said to be two well-known thieves,were charged with steal-
ing two copper-wire guards from tie stained-glass windows

the wire was fixed over the stained-glass window on the
north side of the sacred edifice. about eight o'clock 3 es-
terday evening witness's attentim was drawn to a noise
outside. He gave the alarm to the constable on duty in
Dean's-yard, and, with a bricklayEr, they proceeded to the
part•from whence the noise came. The two prisoners were
there found concealed, and, afters smart chase, taken into
custody.

Robert Whitey police constable 100 B, said that he got
the alarm and pursued the prisoners, one of whom he caught,
but being outside and the man inside he failed to hold him
through the railings.
George Hedger, a bricklayer, sail that the witness Cooper
called him to assist him. He climbed over the railings,
and in pursuing the prisoners fell ever the wire, which was
lying on the ground, at the same _natant the two prisoners
jumped from behind a buttress the window, where the
wire was detached, Witness pursued but failed to catch
the prisoners.
Police•constables Postern, 281 A, and Hayeman, 267 B,
proved that they apprehended the prisoners while endea-
vouring to escape over the Abbey railings. When brought
to the station John Donnelly said, " Yaven't got us this
time, we were only attempting."

were well-known in Lancashire and Stafford for this same
kind of offence, and Mr. Selfe reminded the prisoners till
